A plain-language read of the study's public EU CTIS listing. The study team confirms the details.
Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- All patients, independent from gender
- Completed 2-6 weeks of endocrine induction treatment and Ki-67 response assessment Note: 2-4 weeks recommended, up to 6 weeks allowed. Endocrine induction is highly recommended, but if endocrine induction therapy could not be performed or ET response is not representative, clinical factors should be used.
- Completed (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy, if applicable
- Completed radiotherapy, if applicable
- Patient meets any of the following three conditions at end of primary treatment (including endocrine induction treatment, biopsy/surgery, and if necessary, chemotherapy and radiotherapy and up to 12 months standard- of-care endocrine treatment, excluding previous treatment > 4 weeks with any SERD): see protocol for details
- No contraindication for adjuvant SoC endocrine treatment
You likely can't join if
- Known hypersensitivity to any of the compounds or incorporated substances of the IMPs
- Breast feeding woman
- Use of oral, transdermal, injected, or implanted hormonal methods of contraception as well as hormonal replacement therapy (oestrogen or progesterone).
- Reasons indicating risk of poor compliance
- Patient not able to consent
- Patient has not recovered from clinical and laboratory acute toxicities related to prior anticancer therapies to NCI CTCAE version 5.0 Grade ≤ 1.

- Performance Status ECOG ≤ 1 or Karnofsky Index ≥ 80%
- Laboratory requirements (female and male patients, not older than 14 days prior to date of informed consent): absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L, platelets ≥ 100 × 109/L, haemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL, INR ≤ 1.5, serum creatinine < 1.5 × ULN OR clearance ≥30 mL/min for participant with creatinine levels >1.5 × institutional ULN, total bilirubin < ULN, except for patients with Gilbert’s Syndrome who may only be included if the total bilirubin is ≤ 3.0 × ULN or direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, aspartate transaminase (AST) < 2.5 × ULN, alanine transaminase (ALT) < 2.5 × ULN, Screening lipid panel fasting levels: total cholesterol ≤400 mg/dL AND/OR triglycerides <500 mg/dL.
- Patient must be ≥18 years at diagnosis
- Clinical assessments: normal electrocardiogram within 6 weeks prior to randomization (QTcF interval at screening <450msec using Fridericia’s correction, mean resting heart rate 50-90 bpm)
- Ability to swallow tablets
- Contraception: see protocol for details
- The patient must be capable of giving informed consent and be willing and able to comply with the requirements and restrictions in this protocol and accessible for treatment and follow-up
- Sign informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures.
- Histologically confirmed unilateral, primary invasive carcinoma of the breast. Note: bilateral, multicentric, or multifocal carcinoma may only be included after consultation of Sponsor.
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of primary hormone-receptor-positive (HR+) (i.e., oestrogen-receptor (ER) ≥ 10% and/or progesterone-receptor PR ≥ 10%) early breast cancer by local laboratory Note: ER positive according to ASCO / AGO Guidelines, ER 1-10% (low) is not defined as HR+.
- Patient has HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in-situ hybridization test or an IHC status of 0, 1+, or 2+, if IHC is 2+, a negative in-situ hybridization (FISH, CISH, or SISH) test is required (based on the most recently analysed tissue sample and all tested by a local laboratory).
- No evidence of distant metastasis (confirmed by CT thorax / abdomen, X- ray chest, ultrasound liver, bone scan, or PET-CT, respectively, performed within clinical routine).
- High genomic risk assessment within clinical routine (Oncotype DX® preferred; In those cases, where Oncotype Dx® is not possible in clinical routine, Oncotype Dx® should be assessed retrospectively after inclusion of the patient and as a study specific measure, provided sufficient tumour tissue from primary diagnosis is available.)

- Breast feeding woman
- Use of oral, transdermal, injected, or implanted hormonal methods of contraception as well as hormonal replacement therapy (oestrogen or progesterone).
