A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
This clinical trial is focused on studying a type of breast cancer known as hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. This type of cancer is characterized by the presence of hormone receptors and the absence of a protein called HER2 on the surface of the cancer cells. The study is being conducted in postmenopausal women who are 18 years or older. The treatment being tested involves a combination of two medications: PF-07220060 and letrozole. PF-07220060 is a new investigational drug, while letrozole is a medication commonly used to treat breast cancer by lowering estrogen levels in the body.
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects of the combination of PF-07220060 and letrozole with letrozole alone. Participants will receive either the combination treatment or letrozole by itself. The study will last for a period of two weeks, during which the effects of the treatments on the cancer cells will be closely monitored. The main focus is on observing changes in a specific protein called Ki-67, which is associated with cell growth, in the tumors after the treatment period.
Participants will be required to undergo certain procedures, including biopsies, which involve taking small samples of the tumor tissue to study the effects of the treatment. The study aims to provide valuable information on how the combination of PF-07220060 and letrozole affects breast cancer cells compared to letrozole alone, potentially leading to improved treatment options for this type of breast cancer in the future.
The trial runs in 6 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.

is an experimental medication being studied for its potential to treat breast cancer. In this trial, it is being tested in combination with another medication to see if it can help reduce the growth of cancer cells in women who have a specific type of breast cancer. This medication is still under investigation, which means researchers are trying to understand how well it works and how safe it is for patients.
is a medication commonly used to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It works by lowering the levels of estrogen in the body, which can help slow down or stop the growth of certain types of breast cancer cells that need estrogen to grow. In this trial, letrozole is being used both alone and in combination with another medication to see how effective it is in reducing cancer cell growth.
This medication is administered orally and is currently being studied in clinical trials for its potential use in treating hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer. It is being evaluated in combination with letrozole, a well-known breast cancer treatment, to see if it can enhance the effects of letrozole. PF-07220060 works by targeting specific proteins in cancer cells that help them grow, aiming to slow down or stop the progression of the disease. It falls under the category of targeted cancer therapies, which are designed to interfere with cancer cell growth at the molecular level.
Letrozole is an oral medication that is already widely used in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women. It works by reducing the levels of estrogen in the body, which can help slow or stop the growth of certain types of breast cancer cells that need estrogen to grow. Letrozole is classified as an aromatase inhibitor, a type of hormone therapy that is effective in managing breast cancer by blocking the production of estrogen.
