Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Study Lead-in (SLI): Incidence of Grade 4 neutropenia
From randomization date up to Cycle 4 (each cycle is 28 days).

It is defined as the number of participants with Grade 4 neutropenia AE (graded by NCI CTCAE v.5.0) with onset within the first 4 cycles divided by the number of participants.

SLI: Incidence of dose reduction
From randomization date up to Cycle 4 (each cycle is 28 days).

It is defined as the number of participants reducing the dose of palbociclib and/or vepdegestrant due to any cause occurring within the first 4 cycles divided by the number of participants.

SLI: Incidence of drug discontinuation.
From randomization date up to Cycle 4 (each cycle is 28 days).

It is defined as the number of participants discontinuing palbociclib and/or vepdegestrant due to any cause occurring within the first 4 cycles divided by the number of participants.

Phase 3: Progression-Free Survival
From randomization date, every 12 weeks, to date of first documentation of progression or death, up to approximately 4 years.

Progression-free survival is defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of first documented tumor progression determined by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST version 1.1) or death due to any cause, whichever come first.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) Assessment Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version (v) 1.1- All Randomized Participants
From date of randomization to date of first documentation of objective PD or death (any cause) or censoring date, whichever occurred first (up to 18.56 months and 19.38 months of treatment exposure for vepdegestrant and fulvestrant arms respectively)

PFS assessed by BICR was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of objective progression of disease (PD) per RECIST v1.1, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PD as per RECIST v1.1 was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above nadir (smallest sum observed considering baseline and all assessments prior to the timepoint under evaluation), with a minimum absolute increase of 5 millimeters (mm) relative to nadir or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or the presence of new lesions. PFS was censored on the date of last adequate disease assessment for those who did not have a PFS event, discontinued the study treatment due to withdrawal of consent prior to an event, started a new anticancer therapy prior to an event, had an event after a gap of 2 or more missing disease assessments, or lost to follow-up. Kaplan-Meier method was used.

PFS by BICR Assessment Per RECIST v1.1-Participants With ESR1 Mutation
From date of randomization to date of first documentation of objective PD or death (any cause) or censoring date, whichever occurred first (up to 18.56 months and 19.38 months of treatment exposure for vepdegestrant and fulvestrant arms respectively)

PFS assessed by BICR was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of objective PD per RECIST v1.1, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PD as per RECIST v1.1 was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above nadir (smallest sum observed considering baseline and all assessments prior to the timepoint under evaluation), with a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm relative to nadir or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or the presence of new lesions. PFS was censored on the date of last adequate disease assessment for those who did not have a PFS event, discontinued the study treatment due to withdrawal of consent prior to an event, started a new anticancer therapy prior to an event, had an event after a gap of 2 or more missing disease assessments, or lost to follow-up. Kaplan-Meier method was used.

Cycle 1 (28 days)

Hematological DLT: neutropenic fever; Grade\>=3 thrombocytopenia associated with Grade\>=2(clinically significant)bleeding and Grade4 neutropenia/thrombocytopenia lasting \<7 days. Non-hematological: Grade\>=3 toxicities clinically significant,except those that were not been maximally treated;Grade 2 aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT)/alkaline phosphatase(ALP) levels at baseline as result of liver/bone metastasis,AST,ALT and ALP level\>8\*baseline/AST/ALT \>5\*baseline for\>=14 days; Hy's Law(concomitant ALT/AST elevation of \>=3\*upper limit of normal \[ULN\], total bilirubin elevation\>=2\*ULN without clear alternative etiology); Grade≥3 electrolyte abnormality with clinical sequelae; QTcF prolongation:any Grade\>=3 QT prolongation without clear alternative etiology;any adverse event (AE) attributed to Vepdegestrant and/or PF-07220060 resulting in failure to deliver 75% of doses for either/both agents and any death not clearly due to underlying disease/extraneous causes.

Percentage of Participants With Confirmed Objective Response (OR) by Derived Investigator Assessment: Phase 2
From the date of first dose of study treatment combination until the first documentation of disease progression (PD), death or start of new anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first (maximum treatment exposure of 9.5 months for Phase 2)

OR was defined as best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions, except for nodal disease, complete disappearance of all non-target lesions and no new lesions. All nodes, both target and non-target, must decrease to normal (short axis \<10 millimeter \[mm\]). PR was defined as at least a \>=30% decrease from baseline in the sum of diameters of all target lesions. The short diameter was used in the sum for nodal target lesions, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for non-nodal target lesions, all target lesions were assessed.

Frequently asked questions about Vepdegestrant

What is vepdegestrant used for?

Vepdegestrant is an investigational oral medicine being studied for advanced breast cancer, including ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic disease and breast neoplasms. It is being developed as a potential treatment option for patients with these breast cancer subtypes and is not yet approved for commercial use.

What does vepdegestrant target?

Vepdegestrant targets the estrogen receptor and belongs to the -estrant (SERD) class, meaning it is a selective estrogen receptor degrader. By targeting the estrogen receptor, it aims to degrade the receptor and reduce estrogen-driven signaling in breast cancer cells that express the receptor.

Who is developing vepdegestrant?

Vepdegestrant is being developed by Pfizer, Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PFE. Pfizer is the sponsor of the clinical trial program evaluating vepdegestrant in advanced breast cancer, including Phase 1 and Phase 3 studies.

What phase is vepdegestrant in?

Vepdegestrant is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 3 program includes the TACTIVE series of trials, such as NCT05909397, which is evaluating vepdegestrant plus palbociclib versus letrozole plus palbociclib.

What clinical trials is vepdegestrant in?

Vepdegestrant has been studied in multiple clinical trials, including NCT06206837, a Phase 1 study of vepdegestrant with PF-07220060 in advanced or metastatic breast cancer, and NCT05909397, a Phase 3 trial comparing vepdegestrant plus palbociclib to letrozole plus palbociclib in ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.

Is vepdegestrant the same as ARV-471?

Yes, vepdegestrant is also known as ARV-471 and PF-07850327. Other identifiers include vepdegestrant (ARV-471/PF-07850327) and [phenyl-14C]ARV-471. These names refer to the same investigational selective estrogen receptor degrader being developed by Pfizer for advanced breast cancer.
