An open-label, single-arm, prospective, multi-center, tandem two-stage designed phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of fulvestrant in women with recurrent/metastatic estrogen receptor-positive gynecological malignancies (FUCHSia study)

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate fulvestrant efficacy in women with estrogen receptor-positive low-grade gynecological cancers. The primary objective was to determine the response rate. Secondary objectives were progression-free survival, clinical benefit, duration of response, safety, tolerability, and quality of life.FUCHSia is an open-label, single-arm, prospective, multi-center phase II study. The study population included patients with recurrent/metastatic low-grade gynecological malignancies with estrogen receptor positivity who received a maximum of two lines of previous hormonal therapy. Patients received fulvestrant (FASLODEX, AstraZeneca) via two intramuscular injections (250 mg/5 mL each) in the gluteal muscle on day 1, day 15, day 29, and then every 28 days thereafter until disease progression, withdrawal from the trial due to any unacceptable adverse event, or withdrawal of patient consent.A total of 15 patients (uterine sarcoma n=4; sex cord-stromal ovarian tumors n=3; endometrial carcinoma n=4; serous ovarian cancer n=4) were enrolled. Median follow-up was 48 weeks (interquartile range (IQR) 26-122) in the uterine sarcoma cohort, 63 weeks (IQR 28-77) for sex cord-stromal tumors, 19 weeks (IQR 17-21) for endometrial carcinoma, and 60 weeks (IQR 40-119) for serous ovarian cancer. One partial response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 was observed in one uterine sarcoma patient. No responses were observed in the other cohorts. However, stable disease was observed in three uterine sarcomas (median duration 12 weeks), three sex cord-stromal tumors (median duration 32 weeks), and four low-grade serous ovarian cancer patients (median duration 20 weeks), leading to a disease control rate of 100% for these tumor types. All patients with endometrial carcinoma showed progressive disease.Fulvestrant may control tumor growth in recurrent/metastatic estrogen receptor-positive low-grade gynecological malignancies of specific histology. Further studies are needed to confirm these results.
