Study to Compare the Combination of Ribociclib Plus Goserelin Acetate With Hormonal Therapy Versus Combination Chemotherapy in Premenopausal or Perimenopausal Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

INCLUSION CRITERIA

Patient is an adult female ≥ 18 years old and < 60 years old at the time of informed consent.
Patient has a histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of estrogen-receptor positive and/or progesterone receptor positive breast cancer based on the most recently analyzed tissue sample and all tested by local laboratory. ER should be more than 10% ER positive or Allred ≥5 by local laboratory testing.
Patient has HER2-negative breast cancer defined as a negative in situ hybridization test or an IHC status of 0, 1 + or 2 + If IHC is 2 +, a negative in situ hybridization (FISH, CISH, or SISH) test is required

Women with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer not amenable to curative therapy. Patients must fulfill at least one of the following criteria to be considered that combination chemotherapy is needed according to PI's judgment:

Symptomatic visceral metastases
Rapid progression of disease or impending visceral compromise.
Markedly symptomatic non visceral disease if the treating physician opt to give chemotherapy for rapid palliation of patients symptoms.

Patient is premenopausal or perimenopausal at the time of study entry.

Premenopausal status is defined as either:

Patient had last menstrual period within the last 12 months. OR
If on tamoxifen within the past 14 days, plasma estradiol and FSH are in the premenopausal range, according to local laboratory definition.
In case of therapy induced amenorrhea, plasma estradiol and/or FSH are in the premenopausal range according to local laboratory definition.
Patients who have undergone bilateral oophorectomy are not eligible.
Perimenopausal status is defined as neither premenopausal nor postmenopausal
Patients must have not received neither prior hormonal therapy nor chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer, except LHRH agonist. Patients who received ≤ 14 days of tamoxifen or a NSAI (letrozole or anastrozole) with or without LHRH agonist for advanced breast cancer prior to randomization are eligible. Patient must have measurable disease.

EXCLUSION CRITERIA;

Patient has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy (including hormonal therapy and chemotherapy, or any CDK4/6 inhibitor for advanced breast cancer.

Patients who received (neo) adjuvant therapy for breast cancer are eligible. If the prior neo (adjuvant) therapy included aromatase inhibitors, the treatment free interval must be greater than 12 months from the completion of aromatase inhibitor treatment until randomization.
If patients have disease recurrence during adjuvant tamoxifen treatment, disease free interval (defined as duration between the date of patient received complete tumor resection for primary breast cancer lesion to the date of disease recurrence documented) must be greater than 12 months.
Patients who are receiving ≤ 14 days of tamoxifen or NSAI or LHRH agonists ≤ 28 days for advanced breast cancer prior to randomization are eligible.
Patient has received extended-field radiotherapy or limited field radiotherapy ≤ 2 weeks prior to randomization, and has not recovered to grade 1 or better from related side effects of such therapy (with the exception of alopecia or other toxicities not considered a safety risk for the patient at investigator's discretion). Patient from whom ≥ 25% of the bone marrow has been previously irradiated are also excluded.
Patient has a concurrent malignancy or malignancy within 3 years of randomization, with the exception of adequately treated, basal or squamous cell skin carcinoma or curatively resected cervical cancer in situ.
Patients who have lung metastases with oxygen demand in resting status.
Patients who have liver metastases with bilirubin > 1.5 ULN.

Patients with CNS involvement unless they meet ALL of the following criteria:

At least 4 weeks from prior therapy completion (including radiation and/or surgery) to starting the study treatment.
Clinically stable CNS tumor at the time of screening and not receiving steroids and/or enzyme inducing anti-epileptic medications for brain metastases
Leptomeningeal metastases is not allowed, even with stable clinical condition
