Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline Between Treatment Comparison in EQ-5D Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Scores Scale

The EuroQol-5D (version 3L) is a brief self-administered, validated instrument consisting of 2 parts. The second part consists of the EQ-5D general health status as measured by a visual analog scale (EQ-5D VAS). EQ-5D VAS measures the participant's self-rated health status on a scale from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). (NCT01942135)
Timeframe: From Cycle 1 to 14, as of 05 December 2014.

InterventionUnits on a scale (Mean)
Palbociclib + Fulvestrant-1.8
Placebo + Fulvestrant-2.6

Change From Baseline Between Treatment Comparison in EuroQoL 5D (EQ-5D)- Health Index Scores

The EuroQol-5D (version 3L) is a brief self-administered, validated instrument consisting of 2 parts. The first part consists of 5 descriptors of current health state (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/ depression); a participant is asked to rate each state on a three level scale (1=no problem, 2=some problem, and 3=extreme problem) with higher levels indicating greater severity/ impairment Published weights are available that allow for the creation of a single summary score called the EQ-5D index, which basically ranges from 0 to 1 with low scores representing a higher level of dysfunction and 1 as perfect health. The second part consists of the EQ-5D general health status as measured by a visual analog scale (EQ-5D VAS). EQ-5D VAS measures the participant's self-rated health status on a scale from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state). (NCT01942135)
Timeframe: From Cycle 1 to 14, as of 05 December 2014.

InterventionUnits on a scale (Mean)
Palbociclib + Fulvestrant0.006
Placebo + Fulvestrant-0.031

Clinical Benefit Response (CBR)

CBR is defined as the overall complete response (CR), partial response (PR) , or stable disease (SD) ≥24 weeks according to the RECIST version 1.1. Clinical Benefit Response Rate (CBRR) is defined as the proportion of participants with CR, PR, or SD ≥24 weeks relative to all randomized participants and randomized participants with measurable disease at baseline. Participants who do not have on-study radiographic tumor re-evaluation, who received antitumor treatment other than the study medication prior to reaching a CR or PR, a best response of SD ≥24 weeks, or who died, progressed, or dropped out for any reason prior to reaching a CR or PR and a best response of SD ≥24 weeks was counted as non-responders in the assessment of CBR. Per RECIST v1.1 for target lesions and assessed by MRI: CR, disappearance of all target lesions; PR, ≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; OR = CR + PR. (NCT01942135)
Timeframe: From randomization until end of treatment (assessed up to 12 months)

Interventionpercentage of participants (Number)
Palbociclib + Fulvestrant34.0
Placebo + Fulvestrant19.0

Duration of Response (DR)

DR is defined as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of disease progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. DR was calculated as [the date response ended (ie, date of PD or death) - first CR or PR date + 1)]/30.4. Kaplan-Meier estimate of median of the DR is provided below. No inferential statistical analysis were done for DR. The DR was only calculated for the participants with a CR or PR. (NCT01942135)
Timeframe: From randomization until end of treatment (assessed up to 12 months)

InterventionMonths (Median)
Palbociclib + Fulvestrant9.3
Placebo + Fulvestrant5.7

Objective Response (OR)

OR is defined as the overall complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to the RECIST version 1.1 Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of participants with CR or PR relative to all randomized participants and randomized participants with measurable disease at baseline. Participants who do not have on-study radiographic tumor re-evaluation, who received anti-tumor treatment other than the study medication prior to reaching a CR or PR, or who died, progressed, or dropped out for any reason prior to reaching a CR or PR were counted as non-responders in the assessment of ORR. Per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), ≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions (longest for non-nodal and short axis for nodal target lesions); Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR. (NCT01942135)
Timeframe: From randomization until end of treatment (assessed up to 12 months)

Interventionpercentage of participants (Number)
Palbociclib + Fulvestrant10.4
Placebo + Fulvestrant6.3

Overall Survival (OS) - Number of Participants Who Died

OS is defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause. In the absence of confirmation of death, survival time was censored to last date the participant was known to be alive. For participants lacking survival data beyond the date of their last follow-up, the OS time was censored on the last date they were known to be alive. Participants lacking survival data beyond randomization were to have their OS times be censored at randomization. The length of OS was calculated as OS time (months) = [death date (censor date) - randomization date + 1]/30.4. No inferential statistical analysis were done because of the immaturity of the OS data.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by the Investigator

PFS is the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of objective progression of disease (PD)or death due to any cause in absence of documented PD. Participants lacking an evaluation of tumor response after randomization had their PFS time censored on the date of randomization with the duration of a day. Participants with documentation of PD or death after a long interval (2 or more incomplete or non-evaluable assessments) since the last tumor assessment were censored at the time of last objective assessment that did not show PD. The length of PFS was calculated as PFS time (months) =[progression/death date(censor date) - randomization date + 1]/30.4. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors(RECIST v1.1) a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or the appearance of new lesions.

Change From Baseline Between Treatment Comparison in Euro Quality of Life (EQ-5D) Index

The EuroQol EQ-5D is a 6-item instrument designed to assess health status in terms of a single index value or utility score. It contains 5 descriptors of current health state (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain or discomfort, and anxiety or depression) with each dimension having 3 levels of function (1=no problem, 2=some problem, and 3=extreme problem). The scores on the 5 descriptors are summarized to create a single summary score. An overall utility score is calculated based on these domains, with a range score from 0 (worse health scenario) to a maximum of 1.0 (best health scenario). (NCT01740427)

Change From Baseline Between Treatment Comparison in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy -Breast (FACT-B)

FACT is a modular approach to assess participant health-related quality of life using a 'core' set of questions (FACT-G) as well as a cancer site-specific module. The FACT-G is a 27-item compilation of general questions divided into 4 domains: Physical Well-Being, Social/Family Well-Being, Emotional Well-Being, and Functional Well-Being. The FACT-B consisted of the FACT-G (27-item) and a breast-specific module: a 10-item instrument designed to assess participant concerns relating to breast cancer. For all questions, participants were asked to respond to a five-level scale where 0=not at all, 1=a little bit, 2=somewhat, 3=quite a bit, and 4=very much. FACT-B total score = Physical Well-Being + Social/Family Well-Being + Emotional Well-Being + Functional Well-Being + Breast Cancer Subscale. As each of the items ranges from 0-4, the range of possible scores is 0-144, with 0 being the worst possible score and 144 the best. (NCT01740427)

Disease Control (DC)/Clinical Benefit Response (CBR)

DC is defined as the overall CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) ≥24 weeks according to the RECIST version 1.1. Disease Control Rate (DCR) is defined as the patients with CR, PR, or SD ≥24 weeks relative to all randomized participants. Participants who do not have on-study radiographic tumor reevaluation, who received anti-tumor treatment, a best response of SD≥24 weeks, or who died, progressed,or dropped out for any reason prior to achieving reaching a CR or PR and a best response of SD≥24 weeks was counted as non-responders in DCR. Per RECIST v1.1, CR: Complete disappearance of target lesions with exception of nodal disease. All target nodes must decrease to normal size (short axis <10mm). PR: ≥30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions. The short diameter is used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter is used in the sum for all other target lesions. SD: neither sufficient shrinkage nor increase to qualify for disease progression (NCT01740427)

Duration of Response (DR)

DR is defined as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of disease progression or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date will be used. DR was calculated as [the date response ended (i.e. date of PD or death) - first CR or PR date + 1)]/30.4. DR would only be calculated for the subgroup of patients with an objective tumor response. Per RECIST v1.1, CR: Complete disappearance of target lesions with exception of nodal disease. All target nodes must decrease to normal size (short axis <10mm). PR: ≥30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions.The short diameter is used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter is used in the sum for all other target lesions.

Anti-tumor Effect in Terms of Pathologic CR (pCR) Rate to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (Cohort B)

The primary aim is to assess the anti-tumor effect in terms of pathologic CR rates of neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with T2-T4c, any N, M0 breast cancer (by clinical staging) who are endocrine therapy resistant (that is, their Ki-67 level is >10 after 2-4 week of neo-adjuvant endocrine therapy alone). The pCR rate (percentage) for neo-adjuvant chemotherapy is defined as 100 times the number of eligible patients with no histologic evidence of invasive tumor cells in the surgical breast specimen and the axillary or sentinel lymph nodes divided by the total number of eligible patients who received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. (NCT00265759)
Timeframe: Up to 18 weeks

Interventionpercentage of patients (Number)
Cohort B Arm II: Week 2 Ki67 > 10%5.7

Clinical Response (Complete or Partial Response) Rate (Cohort A)

The clinical response rate (percentage) of a given treatment is defined as 100 times the number of eligible patients randomized to that treatment whose disease meets the WHO criteria for complete or partial response prior to surgery divided by the total number of eligible patients randomized to that treatment. For each treatment arm, a 95% binomial confidence interval will be constructed for the true clinical response rate. Complete Response (CR): The disappearance of all known disease based on a comparison between the measurements at baseline and the Week 16 visit. Partial Response (PR): A 50% or greater decrease in the product of the bi-dimensional measurements of the lesion (total tumor size) based on a comparison between the measurements at baseline and the Week 16 visit. In addition there can be no appearance of new lesions or progression of any lesion. (NCT00265759)

The Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Rate (Cohort A)

The pathologic complete response is defined as no histologic evidence of invasive tumor cells in the surgical breast specimen and axillary or sentinel lymph nodes. The pathologic complete response rate (percentage) of a given treatment is defined as 100 times the number of eligible patients randomized to that treatment whose surgical specimen is such that there is no histologic evidence of invasive tumor cells in the surgical breast specimen and axillary or sentinel lymph nodes divided by the total number of eligible patients randomized to that treatment. For each neo-adjuvant endocrine treatment pair, a 95% binomial confidence interval will be constructed for the true difference in the pCR between these 2 treatments. (NCT00265759)
