Experimental: Venetoclax + Fulvestrant
Participants in the venetoclax arm will receive venetoclax, taken orally and fulvestrant administered as IM injections until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or predefined end of the study (2 years after the last patient is enrolled) which ever occur first.
|
Drug: Venetoclax
Venetoclax will be administered orally, 800-mg tablet beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 Drug: Fulvestrant Fulvestrant will be administered orally, 500 mg administered as two 250-mg intramuscular (IM) injections on Cycle 1 Days 1 and 15 and on Day 1 of each subsequent 28-day cycle |
|
Active Comparator: Fulvestrant
Participants will receive fulvestrant administered as IM (intramuscular) injections. No crossover to the venetoclax arm is permitted. Study treatment will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, death, or predefined end of the study (2 years after the last patient is enrolled) which ever occur first.
|
Drug: Fulvestrant
Fulvestrant will be administered orally, 500 mg administered as two 250-mg intramuscular (IM) injections on Cycle 1 Days 1 and 15 and on Day 1 of each subsequent 28-day cycle |
Primary Outcome Measures :
- Clinical benefit defined as Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD) lasting >= 24 weeks [ Time Frame: Randomization in patients with measurable disease at baseline through the end of study (2 years after the last patient is enrolled) ]
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression as determined by the investigator according to (RECIST v1.1 ) or death from any cause, until the end of study (2 years after the last patient is enrolled) ](RECIST v1.1 ) Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1
- Objective Response (OR) [ Time Frame: Objective Response defined as Complete Response (CR) or Partial response (PR), as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 from Randomization of patient until end of the study (2 years after the last patient enrolled) ]
- Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Time from first occurrence of a documented Objective response to the time of the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, until end of the study (2 years after the last patient enrolled) ](as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1)
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Randomization to death from any cause, through the end of study (2 years after the last patient enrolled) ]
- Percentage of participants with adverse events [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of study (2 years after the last patient enrolled) ]
- Plasma concentration of Venetoxclax and fulvestrant [ Time Frame: At pre-defined intervals from Cycle 1, Day 1, through end of treatment (2 years after the last patient enrolled). ]
- Mean changes from baseline scores in functional disease/treatment-related symptoms and global health status health-related quality of life (GHS/HRQoL) by cycle [ Time Frame: Baseline, cycle 1 day 1, and all subsequent cycles through at the end of treatment/discontinuation visit (2 years after the last patient enrolled) ]Mean and mean changes will be assessed by the scales of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)
- Change in baseline pain score as assessed by the pain scale of EORTC QLQ-C30 [ Time Frame: Baseline through end of study (2 years after the last patient enrolled) ]
- Baseline BCL-2 protein levels as measured by International Council for Harmonisation (IHC) correlating with clinical response measures [ Time Frame: Baseline through the end of study (2 years after the last patient enrolled) ]
