What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

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.
