Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
From Date of Randomization until Disease Progression or Death Due to Any Cause (estimated as up to 3.5 years)

To compare PFS, based on a local investigator assessment, between investigational (palazestrant with ribociclib + letrozole-matching placebo) and control (letrozole with ribociclib + palazestrant-matching placebo) arms.

Dose-Selection Part: Incidence of adverse events
From Date of Randomization up to 16 weeks

To evaluate the number of participants with adverse events

Dose-Selection Part: Incidence of dose reduction
From Date of Randomization up to 16 weeks

To evaluate the number of participants reducing the dose of palazestrant

Dose-Selection Part: Incidence of drug discontinuation
From Date of Randomization up to 16 weeks

To evaluate the number of participants discontinuing palazestrant

Trial: Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
From Date of Randomization until Disease Progression or Death Due to Any Cause (estimated as up to 2 years)

To compare PFS, based on a Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC) assessment, between arms of OP-1250 and standard-of-care treatment. This will be assessed separately in populations of ESR1-mutation detected and ESR1-mutation not detected participants.

Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
The first 28 days of treatment

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and/ or recommended dose expansion (RDE) of palazestrant when administered with ribociclib (Treatment Group 1), alpelisib (Treatment Group 2), or everolimus (Treatment Group 3), or atirmociclib (Treatment Group 4). The incidence of DLTs will be assessed in the Dose Escalation part (Part 1) of the study.

Characterize the incidence, nature and severity of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) of palazestrant when administered with ribociclib, alpelisib, everolimus, or atirmociclib.
Up to 30 days after last dose of study drug(s) treatment

Characterize the incidence, nature and severity of TEAEs and SAEs of palazestrant when administered with ribociclib (Treatment Group 1), alpelisib (Treatment Group 2), everolimus (Treatment Group 3), or atirmociclib (Treatment Group 4) according to NCI-CTCAE version 5.0.

Pharmacokinetics (PK) of palazestrant when administered with ribociclib (Treatment Group 1) or alpelisib (Treatment Group 2), everolimus (Treatment Group 3), or atirmociclib (Treatment Group 4) .
Every 28 days

To assess the PK of palazestrant (and potential metabolites) in combination with ribociclib (Treatment Group 1), alpelisib (Treatment Group 2), everolimus (Treatment Group 3), or atirmociclib (Treatment Group 4). Plasma levels of palazestrant will be assessed at predefined intervals to establish PK parameters (including: Cmax, Cmin, Tmax, AUC, and t1⁄2 as data permit) and palazestrant trough concentration at steady state).

From Cycle 1 Day 1 through C1 Day 28
Characterization and Incidence in Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
From initial inform consent date through 30 days post last dose
Plasma levels of OP-1250 and Palbociclib

Frequently asked questions about Palazestrant

What is Palazestrant used for?

Palazestrant is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of breast cancer, including metastatic breast cancer. It is specifically studied in patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, both in advanced and locally advanced settings. The drug is currently in Phase 3 clinical trials.

What does Palazestrant target?

Palazestrant is a selective estrogen receptor degrader (SERD), meaning it targets the estrogen receptor. By degrading the receptor, it aims to block estrogen signaling that drives cancer growth in ER-positive breast cancers. This mechanism is being evaluated in combination with other agents in clinical trials.

Who makes Palazestrant?

Palazestrant is being developed by Olema Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol OLMA. The company is conducting multiple clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in breast cancer.

What phase is Palazestrant in?

Palazestrant is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is being studied in a Phase 3 trial comparing it to standard of care for advanced breast cancer, and in another Phase 3 trial in combination with ribociclib for first-line treatment. It is also in Phase 1 trials for combination therapies.

What clinical trials is Palazestrant in?

Palazestrant is being evaluated in several trials, including NCT06016738, a Phase 3 study versus standard of care in ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer, and NCT07085767, a Phase 3 trial with ribociclib as first-line treatment. Phase 1 trials include NCT05266105 and NCT05508906, testing combinations with other agents.

Is Palazestrant the same as OP-1250?

Yes, Palazestrant is also known as OP-1250. Clinical trial titles and descriptions refer to the drug as OP-1250 (Palazestrant), confirming that both names refer to the same investigational compound being developed by Olema Pharmaceuticals.
