    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To determine acceptability and feasibility of recruitment, recruitment rate and number of sites required for a main trial. This larger trial will investigate the prevention of late recurrence with an aromatase inhibitor and/or metformin and/or zoledronic acid or standard care (no treatment) in high risk breast cancer survivors.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are associated with reduced bone-mineral density leading to increased risk of fracture. To address this concern a baseline bone density scan (DXA) will be performed on all women taking part in this randomisation to identify those who may have osteoporosis. In addition, osteopenic women randomised to an AI will be given a repeat DXA scan at final visit if last DXA was more than 12 months ago. Osteoporotic patients will be managed in accordance with local clinical procedures for treatment of such women i.e., take bisphosphonate treatment and have regular DXA scans. For metformin. the initial side effect of bloating, nausea and diarrhoea will be mitigated by use of a run-in one month dose escalation. It is recommended that patients take loperamide (Imodium®) to help ease these side effects. For zoledronic acid, osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is a rare complication. This complication is usually observed in cancer patients, probably due to the repeated dosage regimen and the prolonged exposure. The annual dosage regimen used in postmenopausal osteoporosis, on the other hand, is considered safe with regard to the risk of ONJ. Before zoledronic acid is initiated, patients should undergo an oral examination and appropriate preventive dentistry and be advised on maintaining good oral hygiene. Patients should avoid invasive dental procedures (extractions and implants) during therapy if possible. Any dental surgery must be completed before starting treatment on zoledronic acid. It is recommended that patients have a dental check-up within 6 months before randomisation in case any dental treatment is required, delaying zoledronic acid treatment. Should any side effect become intolerable, the patient can try a treatment holiday, with the option of withdrawing from trial treatment always being an option.
    Background therapy
    N/A
    Evidence for comparator
    The evidence that aromatase inhibitors are effective as treatment for ER+ positive breast cancer in post-menopausal women is now overwhelming and has been summarised in an overview (Dowsett et al, 2010). The potential role of AIs in prevention has been reviewed by Cuzick et al (2011) and the IBIS-II trial confirmed the effectiveness of anastrozole in preventing breast cancer (Cuzick et al, 2014). The appropriate duration of treatment of AIs is unclear. This trial will allow a randomised evaluation of the extension of the treatment interval by 2 years. The evidence in favour of repurposing metformin as an active drug for breast cancer has recently been summarised (Thompson, 2014). In essence there is epidemiological, in vivo and human phase II and emerging phase III trial evidence. Two robust phase II trials in women with breast cancer (Hadad et al 2011; Niraula et al 2012), show that metformin reduces tumour proliferation and suppresses serum insulin levels. This is thought to work both through direct anti-tumour effects (via AMPK and mitochondrial mechanisms) and via systemic insulin based mechanisms. Several randomised adjuvant studies have shown that bisphosphonates reduce the risk of recurrence in early breast cancer when used at the time of diagnosis (Powles et al, 2006; Ha et al 2007; Gnant et al, 2009; deBoer et al, 2011). Bisphosphonates have also been shown to abrogate the bone loss associated with use of an AI, and to reduce recurrence and death rates in one trial when used in combination with either tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor after treatment with the LHRH (Luteinizing-hormone-releasing hormone) agonist goserelin in premenopausal women (ABCSG12: Gnant et al, 2009 ). Although negative results overall have also been reported in the AZURE trial (Coleman et al, 2011), there was a benefit in women who were more than 5 years past the menopause (most of the patients in this study will also have been post-menopausal for at least 4 years).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Patients were recruited over a 12 month period from 27th September 2016-26th September 2017 from 13 UK centres. Patients were recruited via breast cancer clinics at local sites and also via GPs acting as Patient Identification Centres (PICs).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    434 patients were approached to join the study. Main reasons for non-participation included no response, not interested in clinical research, concerns of drug side effects, ineligible and no desire to undergo screening tests. 100 of those patients wanted to join but 11 of these failed screening tests (eGFR and insulin in blood samples & DXA scan)

    • Allowance of a baseline bone mineral density (BMD) scan to have been done between 12-24 months before joining the trial providing FRAX tool probability of 10 year fracture (%) is estimated and this is defined as low risk. • For baseline DXA scans, explanation that it is acceptable to have hip (femoral neck or proximal femur) OR lumbar spine should T score only be available for one site (due to, for example, prosthesis or artefacts/osteophytes) and the T score for this site is >0. • Allowance of a suitably qualified Advanced Nurse Practitioner to do prescriptions • Recommendation that patients have a dental check-up within 6 months before randomisation in case any dental treatment is required, delaying zoledronic acid treatment. • Addition of ‘currently being treated with a bisphosphonate’ to exclusion criteria for zoledronic acid • Addition of ‘previous intolerance to AIs resulting in unsuitability to extended AI treatment’ to exclusion criteria for aromatase inhibitors • Change from date of randomisation to date of screening of timeframe for screening tests • Correction of a typo (CKD-EPI) • Addition that members of the Coordinating Centre may visit hospital sites to assist with screening patients by viewing medical records and databases. • To minimize patient waiting time for IMP and/or additional visits, it was decided that patient does not need to be present for randomisation. Eligibility can be re-checked on the phone before randomisation and within 72 hours of patient visit to collect IMP and complete patient questionnaires.

    Change of treatment duration from 2 years to 6-18 months (dependent on date of randomisation) • Final visit to be scheduled by 26th March 2018 and end-of-trial blood sample to be collected (as originally planned) • End-of-trial dose of zoledronic acid (ZA) to be administered if previous dose given more than 5 months earlier. The last ZA dose was originally scheduled at 18 months if trial treatment had continued for 24 months (i.e. no ZA dose at the end-of-trial visit). This ensures that all patients randomised to ZA receive the benefit of treatment at last visit. Final visit apppointments for ZA patients should be scheduled for at least 2 weeks before last patient last visit (26th March 2018) as there is a period of 14 days of active pharmacovigilence reporting for these patients. • DXA scan to be done for AI patients who were osteopenic at baseline if the previous scan was more than 12 months ago • Change of TMG members • Change of contact name for sponsor

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The number of patients needed to make a main trial viable was not achieved and the decision was made to terminate earlier than planned but that all patients receive at least 6 months of treatment in order to answer secondary objectives.
