Treatment

In this trial two different treatments are combined:

  • Abemaciclib (CDK4/6 inhibitor, tablets, 150mg, twice daily)
  • Letrozole (aromatase inhibitor, tablets, 2,5mg, once daily)
     

Treatment duration

The treatment can continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent

Eligibility

Main inclusion criteria:

  • Diagnosis of low-grade serous or low-grade endometrioid carcinoma of ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum or granulosa-cell tumor of the adult type and ER positivity on immunohistochemistry. 
  • For Stage 1: Patients where platinum is still an option and a maximum of 2 prior endocrine therapy regimens. For Stage 2: Maximum of 2 prior endocrine therapy regimens. Patients cannot have received chemotherapy for platinum resistant or refractory disease.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0-1
  • Recurrent, measurable disease by RECIST v1.1. 
  • Pre- and post-treatment tissue biopsy and ct-DNA blood sample are mandatory for translational studies.

Main exclusion criteria:

  • For Stage 1: patients where platinum is not an option and platinum refractory patients are not allowed. For Stage 2: patients with platinum refractory disease are not allowed. 
  • Patients who received chemotherapy must have recovered (CTCAE] Grade ≤1) from the acute effects of chemotherapy except for residual alopecia or Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy prior to randomization. 
  • A washout period of at least 21 days is required between last chemotherapy dose and randomization (provided the patient did not receive radiotherapy)
  • Current use of food or drugs known to be potent CYP3A4 inhibitors, drugs known to be potent CYP3A4 inducers
  • Patient cannot have previously received a prior cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKi)
  • Patient has had major surgery within 14 days prior to starting study drug or has not recovered from major side effects (tumor biopsy is not considered as major surgery)
