Clinical Trial Title Everolimus in Combination With Exemestane in the Treatment of Postmenopausal Women With Estrogen Receptor Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Refractory to Letrozole or Anastrozole
Trial Acronym Breast cancer trials of OraL EveROlimus-2 (BOLERO-2)
Clinical Trial Objective The trial’s primary endpoint was PFS based on local investigator radiology assessment. Other endpoints include OS, ORR, safety, patient-reported outcome, CBR and changes in markers of bone metabolism.
Protocol ID CRAD001Y2301, EUDRACT Number: 2008-008698-69; NCT00863655

Protocol Description
In this double blind, placebo-controlled, phase III clinical trial trial patients were randomized (2:1) to either PO everolimus (10 mg/day; n= 485), or placebo plus PO exemestane (25 mg/day; n=239).
Administration Route PO
Target Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)
Enrollment 724 patients (everolimus plus exemestane=485; placebo plus exemestane=239).
Toxicity
AE observed were consistent with those previously reported with everolimus with the most common Grade 3 or 4 AE being stomatitis (7.7%), anemia (5.8%), dyspnea (3.9%), hyperglycemia (4.3%), fatigue (3.7%), non-infectious pneumonitis (3.1%), and increase in liver enzymes (3.1%).
Result Summary
According to results reported in September 2011, at the European Multidisciplinary Cancer Congress, treatment with Afinitor (everolimus) tablets plus exemestane more than doubled PFS and reduced the risk of cancer progression by 57% versus exemestane alone in patients with Er+HEr2- advanced breast cancer that recurred or progressed while on or following previous treatment with hormonal therapies, letrozole or anastrozole. At a pre-planned analysis, the trial met its primary endpoint of PFS showing treatment with everolimus resulted in a PFS to 6.9 months compared to 2.8 months (hazard ratio= 0.43; p<0.0001) by local investigator assessment. This improvement was consistent across all subgroups including number of prior therapies, presence of visceral disease, bone metastases and prior use of chemotherapy. According to an analysis by an independent central radiology review committee everolimus extended PFS to 10.6 months compared to 4.1 months (HR=0.36; p<0.0001). Other endpoints include OS, ORR, safety, patient-reported outcome, CBR and changes in markers of bone metabolism. These data are being evaluated and will be submitted for publication or presentation in a peer-reviewed forum.
Result - PFS Everolimus=6.9 months versus placebo=2.8 months (hazard ratio=0.43; p<0.0001) according to local investigator analysis and 10.6 months compared to 4.1 months (HR=0.36; p<0.0001), respectively, according to an analysis by an independent central radiology review committee; improvement was consistent across all subgroups including number of prior therapies, presence of visceral disease, bone metastases and prior use of chemotherapy.
