Each day we learn more about advanced and metastatic breast cancer, and researchers continue to work on ways to treat it. If you have ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer, the TACTIVE-U study may be an option for you.
The TACTIVE-U study is researching if an investigational medication (ARV-471) is safe and effective when given with other medicines in people with advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
Who may participate
Each clinical study has its own guidelines for who can participate, called eligibility criteria. However, only the research study staff can determine if you qualify to enroll in the study.
Get started — See if you may qualify
A first step as you consider participating in these studies is to answer a 5-minute online questionnaire about your health and medical history. Please answer the questions to the best of your ability and to the extent you feel comfortable. You can skip questions, however, providing more information will help our clinical trial finder, a secure system powered by Leal Health, to see if you may be eligible for a study based on your health and medical history.
By entering your information into the online questionnaire, you are creating an account and profile with Leal Health which will allow you to see if you may be eligible for any breast cancer studies. At the end of the online questionnaire, you will be able to see how many studies you may potentially qualify for. By providing your contact information, you are providing permission for a member of the Leal Health Patient Support Team to contact you and discuss next steps. They will be available to help you navigate the process of finding a study, answering your questions, and helping you prepare to talk with your oncologist.
If you would like to be referred to a nearby clinic, your Patient Support Team Member will ask you to provide written permission for Leal Health to share your contact information with the study team at the clinic who will then contact you and will likely ask you to come in for an appointment. Only the study team can determine if you meet all the study’s eligibility criteria and are able to enroll in the study.
If it appears that you may be eligible to participate in a Pfizer breast cancer study after completing the online questionnaire, you will see the list of potential Pfizer sponsored studies first. If there are no Pfizer sponsored studies in the list, you can provide permission for Leal Health to continue searching for an appropriate study sponsored by another organization.
We encourage you to review Leal Health’s privacy policy (linked below) before you complete the online questionnaire. Your answers including any personal information will be kept confidential by Leal Health throughout the prescreening process.
Your answers to the online questionnaire will only be linked to you if your responses indicate that you may be eligible to participate in a study and you choose to share your contact information with that study team. Pfizer study team members and our partners will have access to reports containing aggregated (combined) data that will not be directly linked back to you.
What to expect
You will be asked to attend a visit about a month after your last dose of the study medicine (or earlier if a new treatment for your disease starts)
Some studies require the study team to stay in contact with the participant for a period of time after the participant completes the main part of the study. This long-term follow up is to collect additional information on the study drug over time.
Frequently asked questions
How should I take study medications?
You need to take the investigational medication (ARV-471) and another medication (abemaciclib or ribociclib) at the same time in the morning with food. The investigational medication (ARV-471) should be taken first. You need to take Abemaciclib alone also in the evening with or without food and this will be repeated for 28-days, which is often referred to as a cycle. Ribociclib will be taken on a cycle for 21 days with 7 days off but is only take alongside the investigation medication (ARV-471) in the morning.
What should I do if I miss a dose of treatment?
If you miss a dose of treatment, do not double-up or “make up the dose”, but resume dosing on the next day of the dosing cycle at the regularly scheduled time. If you have any questions, your study doctor will be able to help.
Do I need to provide tumor samples during the study?
You will be asked to provide a sample of your tumor from time of diagnosis or at the time of reappearance of your tumor locally or spread to your body after a period of improvement.
There will be an optional (not required) biopsy collected at the end of treatment if you have stopped the treatment because your cancer gets worse, if your study doctor considers the procedure safe for you, and if you agree to provide separate consent for this procedure.
The biopsy can be done with a needle or through a minor surgery, and it is usually done with local anesthesia (shots to numb the skin). You may or may not also receive sedation (drugs to help you be calm and comfortable). The study doctor will discuss with you the safest method and location to perform the biopsy.
How often do you assess my tumor?
Your tumor will be assessed every 8 weeks during the first year, and then every 12 weeks thereafter. This includes scans and measurement of skin lesions. Bone scans will be carried out every 24 weeks.
