Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes commitment to comply with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this clinical study protocol (CSP)\n- Women (or men), age 18 – 80 years, diagnosed with palpable, histologically or cytological confirmed, ER positive (≥1%) HER2-negative, breast adenocarcinoma with a measurable disease (>20 mm) on ultrasound imaging.\n- The patient should be eligible for neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment used in the study as evaluated by the treating physician (assisted by gene expression signatures with a result indicating an intermediate or high risk of disease recurrence, or by tumor core biopsy with an Ki67 average labelling index ≥ 20%).\n- WHO performance status ≤ 1\n- Adequate hematological function with absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 x 109/L AND platelet count ≥100 x 109/L AND hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (may be transfused to maintain or exceed this level).\n- Male patients should use barrier contraception (ie, condoms) from the time of screening until 16 weeks after discontinuation of study drug. It is not known whether the preclinical changes seen in the male animal reproductive organs, after treatment with capivasertib, will be fully reversible or will permanently affect the ability to produce healthy sperm following treatment. Therefore, if male patients may wish to father children in the future they should be advised to arrange for freezing of sperm samples prior to the start of study treatment.\n- Adequate liver function with total bilirubin <1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) AND Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) <2.5 x ULN× upper limit of normal (ULN). Patients with confirmed Gilberts syndrome may be included in the study despite elevated bilirubin.\n- Adequate renal function with serum creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN and Creatinine clearance (CrCL) >50 mL/min per the Cockcroft-Gault formula (using actual body weight).\n- Urine dipstick for proteinuria <2+. Patients discovered to have ≥2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline should undergo a 24-hour urine collection and must demonstrate ≤1 g of protein in 24 hours.\n- Female patients of childbearing potential should be willing to use 2 forms of highly reliable methods of contraception from the time of screening until 4 weeks after discontinuing study treatment OR Patients must have evidence of an inability to bear children by fulfilling 1 of the following criteria at screening: - Post-menopausal – defined as aged >50 years and amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments – Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilisation by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy, but not tubal ligation. Women with an intact uterus (unless amenorrhoeic for the last 24 months and postmenopausal levels of FSH, LH and oestradiol) must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 28 days prior to inclusion into the study.\n- For patients to be eligible for endocrine treatment with or without capivasertib: ER positive score in ≥50% of the tumor cells\n- International normalized ratio (INR) ≤1.5 and APTT (cephotest) ≤1.5 x ULN within 7 days prior to enrolment.\n- Pregnant or breast-feeding women are not eligible for the study.\n- Provision of signed and dated, written ICF prior to any mandatory study specific procedures, sampling, and analyses"}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both Investigator and/or staff at the study site).\n- Previous allogeneic bone marrow transplant or solid organ transplant.\n- Strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment (3 weeks for St John’s wort), or drugs that are sensitive to inhibition of CYP3A4 within 1 week prior to the first dose of study treatment. For details, see Appendix (Appendix A).\n- History of hypersensitivity to active or inactive excipients of the study drug or drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to study drugs.\n- As judged by the investigator, any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, active bleeding diatheses, or active infection including hepatitis B, hepatitis C and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Screening for chronic conditions is not required.\n- Evidence of any other disease, renal, neurological or metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding or laboratory finding giving reasonable suspicion of a disease or condition that may affect the interpretation of the results, render the patient at high risk from treatment complications or interferes with obtaining informed consent\n- Judgment by the investigator that the patient should not participate in the study if the patient is unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions and requirements\n- Previous chemotherapy treatment for localized breast cancer less than 24 months before inclusion into study.\n- Other earlier or concomitant carcinoma less than five years prior to the breast cancer diagnosis, except for basal cell carcinomas or in situ cervix cancer.\n- Any sign of metastatic disease on CT or bone scan.\n- Treatment with any other investigational agent, or participation in another clinical intervention trial within 21 days prior to enrolment.\n- Refractory nausea and vomiting, malabsorption syndrome, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, inability to swallow the formulated product or previous significant bowel resection, or other condition that would preclude adequate absorption of capivasertib.\n- Major surgery (including open biopsy), significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to enrolment or anticipation of the need for major surgery during study treatment, or minor surgery, including insertion of an indwelling catheter, within 24 hours prior to the first bevacizumab infusion.\n- Current or recent (within 10 days of first dose of bevacizumab): 1. use of aspirin (>325 mg/day). 2. use of full-dose oral or parenteral anticoagulants or thrombolytic agent for therapeutic purposes.\n- Clinically significant abnormalities of glucose metabolism as defined by any of the following at screening: 1. Patients with diabetes mellitus type I or diabetes mellitus type II requiring insulin treatment or 2. HbA1c ≥8.0% (63.9 mmol/mol)"}

Endpoints

Primary endpoints

Secondary endpoints
