A Study to Compare the Steady-State Bioavailability of Injectable Letrozole SIE and Oral Letrozole in Post-Menopausal Women With Hormone Receptor Positive Early Breast Cancer
Purpose
The study aims to compare the amount of the drug letrozole that gets into the bloodstream after multiple doses of the quarterly injection Letrozole SIE, versus multiple doses of the standard oral daily tablet of letrozole (Femara®), in women who have gone through menopause and have received treatment for hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer. Participants must have completed at least five years of hormone therapy with at least two of those years with letrozole before starting their participation in the study. Women who have completed four years of hormone therapy are also eligible if their doctor considers them at low risk of cancer returning.
Condition
- Hormone Receptor Positive Early Breast Cancer
Eligibility
- Eligible Ages
- Between 18 Years and 80 Years
- Eligible Sex
- Female
- Accepts Healthy Volunteers
- No
Inclusion Criteria
- Women with weight of ≥50 kg and a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥19 kg/m2 and ≤39 kg/m2 - Postmenopausal women. - Women with confirmed diagnosis of HR+/HER2- or HR+/HER2+ early stage breast cancer who have completed at least 5 years of endocrine therapy, at least 2 years of which were with letrozole. Participants at a low risk of relapse, as assessed by the investigator, can also be eligible after completing 4 years of adjuvant endocrine therapy, at least 2 of which were with letrozole. - Women in good health. - Women who have undergone breast imaging per applicable guidelines (e.g., mammogram) within the last 12 months with no evidence of malignancy (documentation required), and if not done, must be willing to have 1 performed prior to baseline.
Exclusion Criteria

Detailed Description
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the steady-state comparative bioavailability of quarterly injectable Letrozole SIE compared to United States (US)-sourced oral Femara® in the US-sourced arm and of quarterly injectable Letrozole SIE compared to European Union (EU)-sourced oral Femara® in the EU-sourced arm, in post-menopausal women treated with endocrine therapy for hormone-receptor positive (HR+) early breast cancer (EBC). The study also aims to characterize the elimination phase of Letrozole SIE after multiple doses. The study consists of four periods: Screening, Treatment Period 1 (TP1), Treatment Period 2 (TP2) and Extension Period. After the Screening Period, participants will be randomized to two different arms: US-sourced oral Femara® or EU-sourced oral Femara® for 14 days to achieve the steady-state concentrations of letrozole in TP1. After receiving the latest oral letrozole dose, participants from both arms will start TP2. In TP2, quarterly injectable Letrozole SIE will be administered to achieve steady-state. After TP2, a subset of participants (up to 60 participants, regardless of which study arm they belong to) will continue in the study for the assessment of the elimination phase of Letrozole SIE after multiple doses during the Extension Period. It is estimated that approximately 120 subjects should be randomized.
