Fulvestrant and Palbociclib With or Without Copanlisib in Treating Patients With Hormone Receptor Positive, HER2 Negative, Stage IV Breast Cancer
Stopped: change in study design.

Plain-language summary
This randomized phase II trial studies the side effects and how well fulvestrant and palbociclib with or without copanlisib work in treating patients with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative, stage IV breast cancer. Fulvestrant, palbociclib, and copanlisib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients must have histologically confirmed estrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) positive, HER2 negative or non-amplified breast cancer that is stage IV, with measurable or non-measurable disease; ER/PR positivity is defined as at least 1% positive or Allred score of at least 3
* All patients must agree to provide archival tumor material for research and must agree to undergo research tumor biopsy before treatment if presence of easily accessible lesions (judged by the treating physician); for patients with bone only disease, or patients without easily accessible lesions for the baseline research biopsy, availability of archival tumor material (2 x 4-5 micron section unstained slides, plus 15-20 x 10 micron section unstained slides or a tumor rich block) from previous breast cancer diagnosis or treatment is required for PTEN and PIK3CA analysis
* No more than 1 prior chemotherapy in the metastatic setting; there is no limit on prior lines of endocrine therapy; (for patients enrolling to the safety run-in portion of the study, prior fulvestrant, CDK4/6 inhibitor, and everolimus is allowed)
* For patients enrolling to the randomized phase II portion of this study, demonstrated resistance to prior endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting is required; this is defined as:
* Progressed on prior endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting or
* Relapsed on adjuvant endocrine therapy or
* Relapsed within 12 months of completing adju…
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?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
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.
