Abstract 338TiP
Background
(Neo)adjuvant systemic treatment, with chemotherapy and/or endocrine therapy (ET), substantially reduces the recurrence rates of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) early-stage breast cancer (BC). However, recurrences still occur up to 20 years after diagnosis. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a useful biomarker for surveillance in several solid tumors. ctDNA-based detection of molecular recurrence could allow the start of effective therapies before the clinical evidence of metastases. Elacestrant, a selective ER degrader, approved in the advanced setting of ER+/HER2- ESR1-mutated BC following progression on a CDK4/6-inhibitor, could be used at the time of ctDNA relapse to delay the occurrence of distant metastasis.
Trial design
TREAT ctDNA is an European Organisation for REsearch and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC)-led intergroup international, multicentre, randomised, open label, superiority phase III trial, conducted under the Breast International Group (BIG) umbrella, of adjuvant elacestrant vs standard ET in patients with ER+/HER2- BC and a ctDNA relapse comprising both a screening and a randomised phase. Screening phase: 1960 patients with intermediate to high risk of recurrence stage II or III ER+/HER2- BC on medium to long duration ET will be screened for a ctDNA relapse every 6 months using a personalized, tumor-informed assay (SignateraTM, Natera, Inc.). Randomised phase: 220 ctDNA-positive patients without evidence of recurrence in imaging will be randomised 1:1 between continuing their ET versus receiving elacestrant for 2 years. Participants will undergo intensive follow-up with computed tomography and bone scans, in addition to the standard annual breast imaging for 3 years. The primary endpoint is distant metastasis free survival and secondary endpoints are invasive disease-free survival, relapse-free survival, overall survival, safety and quality of life. Recruitment started in December 2023 in Belgium and is planned to open in 11 more countries in 2024: Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
