New hope for advanced breast cancer: drug combo targets tumors after hormone therapy fails
NCT ID NCT06428396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding belzutifan to fulvestrant can slow or stop the growth of a certain type of advanced breast cancer (ER+/HER2-) that has worsened despite hormone therapy. About 120 adults with inoperable or metastatic disease will receive either the new combination or standard treatment. The goal is to see if the new approach delays cancer progression.

Inclusion Criteria: * Has a diagnosis of estrogen receptor positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor negative (HER2-) invasive breast carcinoma that is either locally advanced disease not amenable to resection or metastatic disease not treatable with curative intent * Has documented radiographic confirmation of disease progression during or after the last administered endocrine therapy (ET) * Provides additional tissue from the same sample used to determine ER and HER2 status locally * Has received ET in the noncurative setting and has 1) Radiographic disease progression on 12 months or more of ET in combination with CDK4/6 inhibitor in the noncurative setting or 2) Received at least 2 lines of ET in the noncurative setting including CDK4/6 inhibitor where the CDK 4/6 inhibitor was discontinued due to intolerance * Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1 assessed within 7 days of randomization * Participants who have AEs due to previous anticancer therapies must have recovered to ≤Grade 1 or baseline. Participants with endocrine-related AEs who are adequately treated with hormone replacement or participants who have ≤Grade 2 neuropathy are eligible * Participants who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive are eligible if they have received hepatitis B virus (HBV) antiviral therapy for at least 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention and have undetectable HBV viral load prior to randomization Exclusion Criteria: * Has Breast cancer amenable to treatment with curative intent * Is unable to receive any of the endocrine therapies (ETs) (ie, fulvestrant or exemestane) * Has known difficulty in tolerating oral medications, unable to swallow orally administered medication, or conditions which would impair absorption of oral medications such as uncontrolled nausea or vomiting (ie, CTCAE =Grade 3 despite antiemetic therapy), ongoing gastrointestinal obstruction, motility disorder, malabsorption syndrome, or prior gastric bypass * Has advanced/metastatic, symptomatic visceral spread at risk of rapidly evolving into life-threatening complications * Has active, bleeding diathesis, or on oral anti-vitamin K medication * Has history of noninfectious pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease including radiation pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease * Has a known germline BRCA mutation (deleterious or suspected deleterious) and has received previous treatment with poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibition either in the adjuvant or metastatic setting * Has received prior fulvestrant in the adjuvant, unresectable locally advanced, or metastatic setting * Has received any line of cytotoxic chemotherapy or PARP inhibitor in the unresectable or noncurative advanced/metastatic setting * Has received prior radiotherapy for non-central nervous system (CNS) disease or required corticosteroids for radiation-related toxicities including radiation pneumonitis, within 14 days of the first dose of study intervention * Is currently receiving either a strong inhibitor or inducer of CYP3A4 that cannot be discontinued for the duration of the study * Has received prior systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks before randomization * Has received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention * Has concurrent active Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C virus infection * Has clinically significant cardiac disease, including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction within 6 months from Day 1 of study medication administration, or New York Heart Association Class III or Class IV congestive heart failure * Has not adequately recovered from major surgery or have ongoing surgical complications
