Trial Information

Letrozole Plus Oral Cyclophosphamide Plus/Minus Sorafenib as Primary Systemic Treatment in Post-menopausal, Estrogen Receptor Positive, Breast Cancer Patients


Primary Objective:

To compare the activity of the 2 regimens The primary end point will be the clinical
complete response rate of each treatment arm among all registered cases (intent to treat
analysis).

Secondary Objectives:

To compare the 2 treatment arms with respect to:

- Toxicity

- Progression Free Survival

- Overall survival

Ancillary studies To evaluate before and after treatment a number of markers of hypoxia,
neoangiogenesis, apoptosis, EGFR activating pathways.


Inclusion Criteria:



- 1. Women in postmenopausal status

- 6. Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks

- 7. In case of recent surgery, the wound must be completely healed prior to receiving
Sorafenib

- 12. Platelet count 100,000/μl

- 13. Total bilirubin < 1.5 times the upper limit of normal

parameters exists.]

and is clinically stable with respect to the tumor at the time of study entry)

- 5. Patients with seizure disorder requiring medication (such as steroids or
anti-epileptics)

- 6. History of organ allograft The organ allograft may be allowed as protocol
specific.
