Dynamic Marker - Adjusted Therapy Comparing Adjuvant Elacestrant With Standard Endocrine Treatment in Genomically and/or Clinically High-risk ER+/HER2- Early Breast Cancer (ADAPTela)
In this clinical trial, the Sponsor plans to investigate whether patients with HR+/HER2- eBC identified during routine clinical assessments and treatments as having intermediate to high-risk (based on Oncotype DX® or similar tests and on response assessment to 2-6 weeks of preoperative ET) achieve a survival benefit from an initial 5-years use of elacestrant (with or without a CDK 4/6 inhibitor) followed by SoC ET for further 0-2.5 years in comparison to at least 5 up to 7.5 years SoC ET therapy (+/- CDK4/6 inhibitor). Based on several studies in the metastatic setting, it is reasonable to assume that the adjuvant use of elacestrant with or without CDK 4/6 inhibitors will prevent or delay the activation of mechanisms conferring resistance to ET (e.g., ESR1 mutations).
⁃ All patients, independent from gender
⁃ Patient must be ≥18 years at diagnosis
⁃ The patient must be capable of giving informed consent and be willing and able to comply with the requirements and restrictions in this protocol and accessible for treatment and follow-up
⁃ Sign informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures.
⁃ Histologically confirmed unilateral, primary invasive carcinoma of the breast Note: bilateral, multicentric, or multifocal carcinoma may only be included after consultation of Sponsor.
⁃ Histologically confirmed diagnosis of primary hormone-receptor-positive (HR+) (i.e., oestrogen-receptor (ER) ≥ 10% and progesterone-receptor PR ≥ 10%) early breast cancer by local laboratory Note: ER positive according to ASCO / AGO Guidelines, ER 1-10% (low) is not defined as HR+.
⁃ Patient has HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in-situ hybridization test or an IHC status of 0, 1+, or 2+, if IHC is 2+, a negative in-situ hybridization (FISH, CISH, or SISH) test is required (based on the most recently analysed tissue sample and all tested by a local laboratory).
⁃ No evidence of distant metastasis (confirmed by CT thorax / abdomen, X-ray chest, ultrasound liver, bone scan, or PET-CT, respectively, performed within clinical routine).
⁃ High genomic risk assessment within clinical routine (Oncotype DX® preferred; In those cases, where Oncotype Dx® is not possible in clinical routine, Oncotype Dx® should be assessed retrospectively after inclusion of the patient and as a study specific measure, provided sufficient tumour tissue from primary diagnosis is available.)
‣ 10\. Completed 2-6 weeks of endocrine induction treatment and Ki-67 response assessment Note: 2-4 weeks recommended, up to 6 weeks allowed. Endocrine induction is highly recommended, but if endocrine induction therapy could not be performed or ET response is not representative, clinical factors should be used.

‣ \* In patients treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy, clinical stage should be used for inclusion
‣ \*\* In stage I-IIa and N0 patients with unknown genomic risk prior to inclusion, Oncotype Dx® Test should be performed on untreated tumour tissue within clinical routine.
‣ Results of other genomic tests, if already performed within the clinical routine, may be considered. In such cases, inclusion is only possible if clinical high-risk criteria apply and after consultation with sponsor.
‣ In those cases, where Oncotype Dx® is missing from clinical routine and in the N1-situation, Oncotype Dx® should be assessed retrospectively after inclusion of the patient and as a study specific measure, provided sufficient tumour tissue from primary diagnosis is available.
‣ \*\*\* Use of clinical factors is recommended in patients with unknown or not representative ET response.
