New pill shows promise in slowing advanced breast cancer
NCT ID NCT04214288
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested a new oral drug, AZD9833, against a standard injected treatment (fulvestrant) in 240 women with advanced ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. The main goal was to see how long the cancer stayed under control. Results from one dose group were limited because it was stopped early. This is a disease-control study, not a cure, as patients continue to need ongoing treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Post-menopausal female patients aged at least 18 years. * Metastatic or loco-regionally recurrent ER-positive HER2-negative adenocarcinoma of the breast. * Radiological or other objective evidence of progression on or after the last systemic therapy prior to starting study treatment. * Patients must have at least 1 lesion, not previously irradiated, that can be measured accurately at baseline as ≥10 mm in the longest diameter or in absence of measurable disease as defined above, at least 1 lytic or mixed (lytic+sclerotic) bone lesion. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG)/World Health Organisation (WHO) performance status 0 to 1. * Prior endocrine therapy as follows: 1. Recurrence or progression on at least one line of endocrine therapy 2. No more than 1 line of endocrine therapy for advanced disease 3. No more than 1 line of chemotherapy for advanced disease 4. Prior treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors is permitted 5. No prior treatment with fulvestrant, oral selective oestrogen receptor degrader (SERD), or related therapies * Inclusion criterion for the paired tumour biopsy research subgroup: Washout from prior tamoxifen: 4 months to elapse from last tamoxifen dose to pre-dose on-study biopsy. Exclusion Criteria: Intervention with any of the following: * Any cytotoxic chemotherapy, investigational agents or other anti-cancer drugs for the treatment of breast cancer from a previous treatment regimen or clinical study within 14 days of the first dose of study treatment. * Use of systemic oestrogen-containing hormone replacement therapy within 6 months prior to the first dose of study treatment. * Medications or herbal supplements known to be strong inhibitors/inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4/5 and sensitive CYP2B6 substrates, and drugs which are substrates of CYP2C9 and/or CYP2C19 which have a narrow therapeutic index or inability to stop use within the washout period prior to receiving the first dose of study treatment. * Drugs that are known to prolong QT and have a known risk of torsades de pointes. * The following cardiovascular criteria: QTcF \>470 ms, resting heart rate \<45 bpm, clinically significant abnormalities of resting electrocardiogram, uncontrolled hypertension, symptomatic hypotension, factors that increase the risk for QTc prolongation, left ventricular ejection fraction \<50%. * Radiotherapy with a limited field of radiation for palliation within 1 week of dosing, or to \> 30% of bone marrow or a wide field within 4 weeks of dosing. * Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury. * Presence of life-threatening metastatic visceral disease or uncontrolled central nervous system metastatic disease. * Inadequate bone marrow reserve or organ function. * Refractory nausea and vomiting, uncontrolled chronic gastrointestinal diseases, inability to swallow the formulated product, or previous significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption of AZD9833. * History of hypersensitivity to active or inactive excipients of AZD9833 or fulvestrant. * Previous randomisation in the present study. * Women of childbearing potential.
