Clinical Trial Summary

Leuprorelin, a LHRH agonist, acts as a potent inhibitor of gonadotropin secretion and is commonly used for the treatment of hormone-responsive prostate cancer, premenopausal HR+ breast cancer, endometriosis and uterine fibroids. It is currently available in 1M, 3M, 6M for subcutaneous administration. Initially administration would stimulate an increase in LH and FSH, causing a transient increase of E2 in 2-4 weeks. Continuous administration results in a subsequent decrease in E2 levels, as a result of decreased levels of luteinizing LH and FSH. After stopping injection, ovarian function could gradually recover. Adverse events related to leuprorelin include flushing, mood swings and urogenital symptoms. At present, the treatment of premenopausal breast cancer mainly includes 1M and 3M GnRHa. Leuprorelin 11.25mg dosage form is currently the only 3M GnRHa in China that has gotten breast cancer indications. The use of 3M GnRHa could improve patients' compliance and reduce injection discomfort. However, previous studies about GnRHa alone or in combination with TAM or AIs usually used 1M GnRHa. There have been few studies reporting the suppression effects of E2 levels and clinical outcome with leuprorelin 3M in combination with TAM or AIs.


Clinical Trial Description

Background: There are some differences in the age of onset of breast cancer, histopathological types, and treatment methods between Asians and non-Asians. Incidence peaks at age 40-50 in Asian women, with more than half of premenopausal patients, but 65-70 years in US women, most of which are postmenopausal[1]. Besides, compared with Americans, Asian women younger than 50 have a higher prevalence of luminal A breast cancer and less basal-like subtype. Therefore, the application of OFS has always been the focus for the treatment of premenopausal women with HR+ breast cancer in Asia. OFS therapy includes oophorectomy, ovarian radiation, and the use of GnRHa. Several studies have shown that the use of GnRHa in premenopausal women can achieve similar efficacy to oophorectomy and ovarian radiation therapy. As GnRHa has the advantages of non-invasiveness and reversibility, it has gradually replaced oophorectomy and ovarian radiation, and has become the main method of OFS in premenopausal women with HR+ breast cancer. Meanwhile, GnRHa in combination with TAM or AIs is increasingly used for premenopausal HR+ breast cancer patients. Previous studies have revealed that GnRHa alone or in combination with TAM or AIs has shown effective estrogen suppression and certain survival benefits for most patients with breast cancer. In addition, the 5-year follow-up results of the TEXT / SOFT study in 2014 showed that compared with OFS + TAM, OFS + AI treatment significantly improved DFS, prolonged cancer-free survival time and distant recurrence-free metastasis[8, 9]. The 9-year follow-up results of the TEXT / SOFT study in 2019 indicated that OFS + AI versus OFS + TAM or TAM single drugs, years of distant recurrence risk in patients with high risk of recurrence have an absolute benefit rate of 10-15 %, Intermediate risk is 4-5%, low-risk benefit is not obvious. In 2019, the ABCCG reviewed ESO-ESMO and St. Gallen's treatment recommendations for HR+/ Her-2 negative breast cancer in premenopausal women, discussed controversial issues and pointed out that patients with low recurrence risk can be treated with TAM alone. For patients with high risk of recurrence, chemotherapy + OFS + AI should be given. It indicates that not all premenopausal HR+ patients with early breast cancer need auxiliary OFS, and more clinical trials on OFSin premenopausal HR + patients are necessary and worthwhile. Leuprorelin, a LHRH agonist, acts as a potent inhibitor of gonadotropin secretion and is commonly used for the treatment of hormone-responsive prostate cancer, premenopausal HR+ breast cancer, endometriosis and uterine fibroids. It is currently available in 1M, 3M, 6M for subcutaneous administration. Initially administration would stimulate an increase in LH and FSH, causing a transient increase of E2 in 2-4 weeks. Continuous administration results in a subsequent decrease in E2 levels, as a result of decreased levels of luteinizing LH and FSH. After stopping injection, ovarian function could gradually recover. Adverse events related to leuprorelin include flushing, mood swings and urogenital symptoms. At present, the treatment of premenopausal breast cancer mainly includes 1M and 3M GnRHa. Leuprorelin 11.25mg dosage form is currently the only 3M GnRHa in China that has gotten breast cancer indications. The use of 3M GnRHa could improve patients' compliance and reduce injection discomfort. However, previous studies about GnRHa alone or in combination with TAM or AIs usually used 1M GnRHa. There have been few studies reporting the suppression effects of E2 levels and clinical outcome with leuprorelin 3M in combination with TAM or AIs. To further investigate the suppression effects of E2 levels of 3M GnRHa, we conducted a single-arm, prospective clinical observational study evaluating the efficacy and safety of adjuvant therapy with leuprorelin 3M in combination with TAM or AIs in premenopausal HR+ breast cancer. ;
