Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Onapristone as Preoperative Treatment for Postmenopausal Women With Hormone Receptor + and HER2- Breast Cancer

Study Description

Brief Summary: ONAWA is a window of opportunity, prospective, multicenter, phase 0 trial which evaluates the effect of onapristone (ONA) on proliferation after 3 weeks of treatment in postmenopausal women with ER+/PgR+ and HER2-negative early breast cancer amenable to pre-operative endocrine therapy and surgery.

Detailed Description: The main hypothesis is that onapristone, an antiprogestin will induce a significant proliferative arrest in HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer. The primary endpoint is chosen based on reports which related the 2.7% Ki67 value (natural log of 1) both after a 15 days1 or 3-4 months of neoadjuvant endocrine treatment with favorable breast cancer relapse free and overall survival2,3. Hence, this Ki67 cut-off (Complete Cell Cycle Arrest, or CCCA) has been consistently used in recent trials as an acceptable surrogate marker of clinical and biological efficacy, even though the achievement of a pathological complete response is very unusual in luminal tumors after preoperative endocrine therapy. Trials with biological endpoint, including the so-called window of opportunity trials such as the ONAWA study provide tumor tissue before and after a short course of a given therapy for biomarker analyses of response and resistance. The aim of these studies is to improve the investigator's understanding regarding the biologic effect of a given drug, in order to better define its target population early in its development without interfering with the standard treatment pattern of the patient.
