Clinical Trial Summary

PREcoopERA is a randomized (2:2:1), multicenter, open-label, three-arm (A, B, C), Window-of-Opportunity (WOO) trial to evaluate the activity and safety of giredestrant (A) versus giredestrant plus triptorelin (B) versus anastrozole plus triptorelin (C).

Description:

The primary objectives are: - to determine if 4 weeks of giredestrant plus triptorelin provides greater anti-proliferative activity than anastrozole plus triptorelin among premenopausal patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative operable invasive breast cancer. - to determine if 4 weeks of giredestrant without triptorelin provides anti-proliferative activity that is similar (non-inferior) to giredestrant plus triptorelin among premenopausal patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative operable invasive breast cancer.

• Documented estrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumor in accordance to ASCO/CAP guidelines (Allison et al. 2020),47 assessed locally and defined as =1% of tumor cells stained positive.
• Documented human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative tumor in accordance to 2018 ASCO/CAP guidelines (Wolff et al. 2018)48, as determined per local assessment.

For patients receiving heparin, PTT between 1.5 and 2.5 x ULN (or value before patient started heparin treatment) is required. If anticoagulation therapy is required for a prosthetic heart valve, stable INR between 2.5 and 3.5 is permitted.

• History of ventricular dysrhythmias or risk factors for ventricular dysrhythmias such as structural heart disease (e.g., severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction, left ventricular hypertrophy), coronary heart disease (symptomatic or with ischemia demonstrated by diagnostic testing), clinically significant electrolyte abnormalities (e.g., hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia), or family history of long QT syndrome.
• Current treatment with medications that are well known to prolong the QT interval.
• Treatment with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers within 14 days or 5 drug elimination half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to initiation of study treatment.
• Known issues with swallowing oral medication.
• Active inflammatory bowel disease or chronic diarrhea, short bowel syndrome, or major upper gastrointestinal surgery including gastric resection.
• Serious infection requiring oral or IV antibiotics, or other clinically significant infection within 14 days prior to screening.
• Any active tumor of non-breast-cancer histology.
• Women who are pregnant or in the period of lactating.
• Any concurrent disease or serious medical condition or abnormality in clinical laboratory tests that, in the investigator's judgment, precludes the patient's safe participation in and completion of the study.
• Judgement by the investigator that the patient should not participate in the study if the patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements.
• Contraindications or known hypersensitivity to the trial medication or excipients.
• Treatment with any investigational agents within 30 days prior to expected start of trial treatment.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in Ki 67	The primary endpoint is the change in Ki 67 (Ki 67-labeling index, the percentage immunostaining cells measured by IHC in central laboratory) between the pre-treatment tumor biopsy and a post-treatment tumor re-biopsy (analyzed on the natural logarithm scale).	From date of randomisation until 29 ±3 days post-randomisation
Secondary	Complete cell cycle arrest (CCCA)	Complete cell cycle arrest (CCCA), defined as Ki 67 =2.7% on the post -treatment tumor re-biopsy on day 29 (±3 days), by visual image analysis.	From date of randomisation until 29 ±3 days post-randomisation
Secondary	Adverse events according to CTCAE v5.0	Record all AEs (including SAEs and AESIs) and assign the appropriate grade according to the CTCAE v5.0.	From the date of enrolment until last patient last visit (approximately 28 months after randomisation of the first patient)]
