Outcome Notes
During the first stage, 17 of the first 24 patients (71%; 95% CI, 49%–87%) experienced a clinical benefit, thus meeting the threshold for continuing enrolment. Overall, the CBR and ORR were 76% (95% CI, 63%–86%) and 14% (95% CI, 6%–25%), respectively. Of the 58 patients' best response, 8 (14%) achieved partial response, 19 (33%) had stable disease, and 22 (38%) neither achieved complete response nor had disease progression. Progressive disease was observed in nine patients (16%). In the investigator‐based assessment, 35 patients still had measurable disease after first‐line chemotherapy, of whom 8 (23%) had a partial response and 19 (54%) had stable disease as best response. The CBR among measurable patients was 69% (95% CI, 51%–83%), and the ORR was 23% (95% CI, 10%–40%). By the data cutoff date, the median follow‐up was 32.6 months. No patients died during fulvestrant treatment. The median PFS since commencing fulvestrant maintenance therapy was 16.1 months (95% CI, 10.3–21.0 months; Fig. 1), with 1‐ and 2‐year PFS rates of 60% (95% CI, 46%–71%) and 35% (95% CI, 23%–47%), respectively. Twenty‐three deaths had occurred at the time of data cutoff. The median duration of OS had not been reached at the time of data analysis. The rate of OS at 3 years was 51% (95% CI, 32%–67%).
