Anatomic Stage III Breast Cancer AJCC v8 Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized Window of Opportunity Study of Preoperative Letrozole and Simvastatin Versus Letrozole Alone in Stage I-III Hormone Receptor Positive, HER2 Negative Breast Cancer
This early phase I trial tests whether letrozole with simvastatin works better than letrozole alone to stop tumor cell proliferation in patients with stage I-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative invasive breast cancer. Letrozole and simvastatin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The addition of simvastatin to letrozole may be more effective at stopping the growth of cancer cells than letrozole alone.

Other | Changes in the level of immune activation in the blood using blood-based biomarkers (CRP, IL-6, IL-10, TGF-beta, TNF-alpha) | Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, min, max) are applied to biomarkers of interest at 2 designated time points, prior to preoperative therapy and following completion of 14 days of preoperative therapy. Absolute change or percentage change of biomarkers is calculated and compared between the two treatment arms using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. Correlation among biomarkers is described by Pearson correlation coefficient with 95% confidence interval. The p-value is adjusted by Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | |
Other | Changes in total cholesterol levels in the blood | Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, min, max) are applied to biomarkers of interest at 2 designated time points, prior to preoperative therapy and following completion of 14 days of preoperative therapy. Absolute change or percentage change of biomarkers is calculated and compared between the two treatment arms using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. Correlation among biomarkers is described by Pearson correlation coefficient with 95% confidence interval. The p-value is adjusted by Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | |
Other | Changes in HMG-CoA reductase immunohistochemistry (IHC) expression in the tumor tissue | Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, min, max) are applied to biomarkers of interest at 2 designated time points, prior to preoperative therapy (utilizing archival tissue from baseline biopsy) and following completion of 14 days of preoperative therapy. Absolute change or percentage change of biomarkers is calculated and compared between the two treatment arms using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. Correlation among biomarkers is described by Pearson correlation coefficient with 95% confidence interval. The p-value is adjusted by Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | |
Primary | Mean percentage change in Ki-67 | Negative change denotes reduction. Ki-67 is a validated surrogate marker for disease-free survival in patients with hormone receptor positive (HR+), HER2- breast cancer. Ki-67 values at 14 days are expressed as geometric mean proportions of the baseline and transformed into percentage change. Geometric mean percentage change of Ki-67 from pre- to post-treatment is calculated and compared between the two treatment arms. A two-sided Mann-Whitney U or Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test is used. | From pre-surgical baseline to 14 days following preoperative therapy | |
Secondary | Response per Ki-67 | Responders are defined as those with >= 40% pre- to post-treatment decrease in Ki-67, and non-responders are those with < 40% decrease in Ki-67. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, min, max) are applied to biomarkers of interest at 2 designated time points, prior to preoperative therapy (utilizing archival tissue from baseline biopsy) and following completion of 14 days of preoperative therapy. Absolute change or percentage change of biomarkers is calculated and compared between the two treatment arms using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. Correlation among biomarkers is described by Pearson correlation coefficient with 95% confidence interval. The p-value is adjusted by Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | |
Secondary | Change in the level of the following immune biomarkers: Percentage of CD8+ T cells, percentage of FOXp3 Treg cells, ratio of CD8+/Treg ratio | Based on multiplex immunofluorescence. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, median, min, max) are applied to biomarkers of interest at 2 designated time points, prior to preoperative therapy (utilizing archival tissue from baseline biopsy) and following completion of 14 days of preoperative therapy. Absolute change or percentage change of biomarkers is calculated and compared between the two treatment arms using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. Correlation among biomarkers is described by Pearson correlation coefficient with 95% confidence interval. The p-value is adjusted by Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate. | Through study completion, an average of 1 year | |
Secondary | Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) for pain | Up to 30 days after surgery | ||
