Inclution Criteria
informed consent and has signed informed consent before any trial related
activities are conducted and according to local guidelines.
2. Confirmed negative serum pregnancy test (β-hCG) within 72 hrs before starting
study treatment.
3. 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 must be ≥10
pg/mL and FSH ≤40 IU/l or in the premenopausal range, according to
central laboratory definition,
OR
In case of therapy induced amenorrhea, with a plasma estradiol ≥10
pg/mL and/or FSH ≤40 IU/l or in the premenopausal range according
to central laboratory definition.
Patients who have undergone bilateral oophorectomy are not eligible.
Perimenopausal status is defined as neither premenopausal nor
postmenopausal (see exclusion criteria 3).
4. Patient has advanced (locoregionally recurrent or metastatic) breast cancer not
amenable to curative therapy (e.g. surgery and/or radiotherapy).
5. Patients who received (neo) adjuvant therapy for breast cancer are eligible:
If the patient has never received any prior endocrine therapy OR if ≥ 12
months have elapsed since the patient’s last dose of adjuvant therapy,
then the patient is eligible to receive tamoxifen + goserelin or a NSAI +
goserelin for advanced breast cancer based on the investigator’s choice.
If tamoxifen was the last prior (neo) adjuvant therapy and the last dose
was given < 12 months prior to randomization, then the patient is eligible to
receive a NSAI (letrozole or anastrozole) + goserelin for advanced breast
cancer.
If letrozole, anastrozole, fulvestrant, or exemestane was the last prior (neo)
adjuvant therapy and the last dose was given < 12 months prior to
randomization, then the patient is eligible to receive tamoxifen + goserelin
for advanced breast cancer.
Note: Prior (neo) adjuvant anti-cancer therapy must be stopped at least 5 halflives or 7 days before randomization, whichever is longer.
6. Patients who received ≤ 14 days of tamoxifen or a NSAI (letrozole or
anastrozole) with or without goserelin for advanced breast cancer prior to
randomization are eligible. Patients must continue treatment with the same
hormonal agent + goserelin during the study. No treatment interruption is
required for these patients prior to randomization.
7. Patients who have received up to 1 line of chemotherapy for advanced breast
cancer and have been discontinued 28 days before randomization are eligible.
8. Patient has a histologically and/or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of
estrogen-receptor positive and/or progesterone receptor positive breast cancer
by local laboratory (based on most recently analyzed biopsy).
9. Patient has HER2-negative breast cancer (based on most recently analyzed
biopsy) 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 by local laboratory testing.
10. Patient must have either:
Measurable disease, i.e., at least one measurable lesion as per RECIST
1.1 criteria.
OR
If no measurable disease is present, then at least one predominantly lytic
bone lesion must be present (patients with no measurable disease and
only one predominantly lytic bone lesion that has been previously
irradiated are eligible if there is documented evidence of disease
progression of the bone lesion after irradiation).
11. Patient has ECOG PS 0 or 1.
12. Patient has adequate bone marrow and organ function as defined by the
following laboratory values (as assessed by central laboratory):
Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109
/L.
Platelets ≥ 100 × 109
/L.
Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL.
Potassium, sodium, calcium (corrected for serum albumin), magnesium,
and phosphorus within normal limits of the central laboratory.
INR ≤1.5.
Serum creatinine within normal limits of the central laboratory.
In absence of liver metastases, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and
aspartate aminotransferase (AST) should be below 2.5 × ULN. If the
patient has liver metastases, ALT and AST should be < 5 × ULN.
Total serum bilirubin < ULN; or total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 × ULN with direct
bilirubin within normal range of the central laboratory in patients with well
documented Gilbert’s Syndrome
Exclusion Criteria
2. Patient has a known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of LEE011 or
goserelin or hormonal treatment assigned (tamoxifen or a NSAI (letrozole or
anastrozole)).
3. Patient is postmenopausal. Postmenopausal status is defined either by:
Prior bilateral oophorectomy
OR
Age ≥60
OR
Age <60 and amenorrhea for 12 or more months (in the absence of
chemotherapy, tamoxifen, toremifene, or ovarian suppression) and FSH
and estradiol in the postmenopausal range per central laboratory normal
range.
If taking tamoxifen or toremifene, and age <60, then FSH and plasma
estradiol level in postmenopausal ranges per central laboratory normal
range.
Note: For women with therapy-induced amenorrhea, serial measurements of
FSH and/or estradiol are needed to ensure postmenopausal status (NCCN
Guidelines Version 3.2014).
4. Patients who currently have inflammatory breast cancer at screening.
5. Patients who received any prior hormonal anti-cancer therapy for advanced
breast cancer, except for ≤ 14 days of tamoxifen or NSAI ± goserelin for
advanced breast cancer prior to randomization.
6. Patient who has not had resolution of all acute toxic effects of prior anti-cancer
therapy to NCI CTCAE version 4.03 Grade ≤1 (except alopecia or other
toxicities not considered a safety risk for the patient at investigator's
discretion).
7. Patient has a concurrent malignancy or malignancy within 3 years of
randomization, with the exception of adequately treated basal cell skin
carcinoma, squamous cell skin carcinoma, non-melanomatous skin cancer or
curatively resected cervical cancer.

9. Patient has impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may
significantly alter the absorption of the study drugs (e.g., ulcerative diseases
uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malabsorption syndrome, or small
bowel resection).
10. Patient has a known history of HIV infection (testing not mandatory).
