Plain-language summary
This is a single-centre study comprising two phases: a lead-in phase Ib and a phase II randomized portion.
Lead-in Phase Ib study A lead-in phase I study will be built into this protocol to confirm the dose of lenvatinib that can safely be combined with letrozole.
We expect that the optimal phase II dose level will be determined after recruiting 12-18 subjects into phase Ib. This dose level will be the one to be tested in the phase II portion of the study.
Phase II open label study In this part of the study, eligible patients will be treated with single agent lenvatinib at the phase II recommended dose for 2 weeks, followed by lenvatinib combined with letrozole 2.5mg daily for 12 weeks.
A total of 30 patients with ER positive breast cancer and measurable primary tumor will be enrolled over a period of 24-30 months

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Female, age ≥ 18 years.
* Histologic or cytologic diagnosis of breast carcinoma.
* Part A: T1-4 breast cancer with measurable primary breast tumor, defined as palpable tumor with both diameters 2.0cm or greater as measured by caliper. Newly diagnosed metastatic patients with measurable primary breast tumor ≥2cm are eligible provided that there are plans for toilet mastectomy after completing 14 weeks of pre-operative drug therapy. Patients must not have received prior chemotherapy or hormonal therapy for the treatment of the current breast cancer.
* Part B: Patients with metastatic breast cancer with measurable tumor by RECIST criteria.Patients previously treated with letrozole are eligible if they progressed on letrozole ≥1 year after adjuvant treatment, or ≥ 6 months in the metastatic setting.
* ECOG 0-1.
* Estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
* Adequate organ function including the following:
* Bone marrow:
* Absolute neutrophil (segmented and bands) count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
* Platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L
* Hepatic:
* Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN),
* ALT or AST ≤ 2.5x ULN, (or ≤5 X with liver metastases)
* Renal:
Creatinine ≤ 1.5x ULN
• Post-menopausal women. Post-menopausal status is defined either by
* Age ≥ 60 years and one year or more of amenorrhea
* Age \< 60 years and one year or more of amenorrhea (in the absence of ovarian suppression) and with estradiol and FSH levels consistent with menopause, \*Tre…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
