Safety and Efficacy of AZD4547 in Combination With Fulvestrant vs. Fulvestrant Alone in ER+ Breast Cancer Patients

A Randomised Double-blind Phase IIa Study (With Combination Safety Run-in) to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of AZD4547 in Combination With Fulvestrant vs. Fulvestrant Alone in ER+ Breast Cancer Patients With FGFR1 Polysomy or Gene Amplification Who Have Progressed Following Treatment With Prior Endocrine Therapy (Adjuvant or First-line Metastatic) (GLOW)

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of AZD4547 in combination with fulvestrant vs. fulvestrant alone in ER+ breast cancer patients with FGFR1 polysomy (FISH4/5) or gene amplification (FISH 6)

Inclusion Criteria:

• Post-menopausal women (either through bilateral oophorectomy or amenorrhoeic for 24 months)
• Histological confirmation of Breast Cancer with documented ER+ receptor status
• Safety run-in: Relapsing during/within 12 months of completion of a single regimen of adjuvant endocrine therapy with non-steroidal AI and/ tamoxifen or progression following 1st line endocrine therapy with non-steroidal AL
• Rand phase IIa: Received at least 1 prior endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting or have relapsed during/ within 6 months of completion of adjuvant endocrine therapy (either non-steroidal AI or tamoxifen or a combination of both). Chemotherapy administered in the adjuvant setting is permitted.
• Rand phase IIa: Mandatory provision of tumour sample to confirm FGFR1 polysomy or gene amplification. At least one measurable lesion that can be accurately assessed by CT/MRI/x-ray at baseline and follow up visits

Exclusion Criteria:

• Prior exposure to exemestane (safety run-in) / fulvestrant (randomized phase IIa), or any agent known to inhibit FGFRs.
• More than 1 prior regimen of chemotherapy for breast cancer
• ECG recordings that demonstrate significant abnormalities in cardiac rate, rhythm or conduction
• History of hypersensitivity to active or inactive excipients of AZD4547 or exemestane (safety run-in ) or fulvestrant (Randomized phase), including castor oil, or drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to AZD4547 or exemestane or fulvestrant.
• Randomized phase IIa: bleeding/blood clotting conditions that would prevent the administration of the fulvestrant injection into the buttocks
