The purpose of the trial is to investigate the efficacy of metronomic treatment with daily oral vinorelbine in terms of clinical benefit rate based on local radiological assessment in patients with advanced/metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer resistant to endocrine therapy.
In terms of the chronic nature of advanced/metastatic breast cancer, there is a high medical need for new treatment options after failure of hormonal treatment that prolong the interval to the start of intensive cytotoxic therapy, which is commonly associated with impaired quality of life (QoL) and potentially serious side effects. In this respect, metronomic treatment with daily administration of oral vinorelbine could provide an efficacious treatment option with limited toxicities. Accordingly, this national, multi-centre, open-label, single-arm phase II trial aims to investigate a truly metronomic schedule with daily oral vinorelbine in HR+/HER2-patients with metastatic breast cancer resistant to endocrine therapy, by assessing efficacy and safety. Oral vinorelbine will be administered at a daily dose of 30 mg (flat dose without any adaptation to body weight or body surface area) without breaks. Treatment will continue until disease progression, occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, patient's refusal or investigator's decision to stop the treatment. In the course of the study, the following interim and final analyses will be done: i) 1st interim analysis (safety): This analysis will be performed on the basis of 10 patients, who were initially included into the study and who are eligible for safety evaluation; frequency statistics of (serious) adverse events will be analysed. ii) 2nd interim analysis (efficacy): This analysis will be performed at the completion of the 1st Simon stage. iii) Final analysis (complete): This analysis will be performed after completion of the follow-up phase (6 months of follow-up after Last Patient Last Treatment).

Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)
The primary endpoint is the determination of the Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) at 24 weeks after start of treatment. The response to treatment is measured by computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for measurable lesions and evaluation for non-measurable lesions at 24 weeks after start of treatment.
Time frame: 24 weeks after start of treatment.
Overall response rate (ORR)
Statistical evaluation of above mentioned parameter for each patient measured in duration of month
Time frame: 6 months after last patient last treatment
Disease control rate (DCR)
Statistical evaluation of above mentioned parameter for each patient measured in duration of month
Time frame: 6 months after last patient last treatment
Duration of disease control (DoDC)
Statistical evaluation of above mentioned parameter for each patient measured in duration of month

Duration of stable disease (DoSD)
Statistical evaluation of above mentioned parameter for each patient measured in duration of month
Time frame: 6 months after last patient last treatment
Duration of response (DoR)
Statistical evaluation of above mentioned parameter for each patient measured in duration of month
Time frame: 6 months after last patient last treatment
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Statistical evaluation of above mentioned parameter for each patient measured in duration of month

Number of patients with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0
Determination of frequency and severity of (serious) adverse events and the number of laboratory values worsening from baseline based on the Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) Grade; other safety data (e.g. vital signs and special tests) will be considered as appropriate
Time frame: 6 months after last patient last treatment
Patient's symptoms and health-related quality of life
Evaluation of the Global Health Status/QoL on the basis of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (EORTC) quality of life questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 questionnaire
Time frame: 6 months after last patient last treatment
Histopathological parameters
Analysis of tumour tissue biomarkers before the start of study treatment and upon progression: histopathological analyses including qualitative assessments of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) involving the evaluation of regulatory T cells (Treg), cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8), CD20 and immune checkpoint parameters (e.g. Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1)); additionally, markers like vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) will be evaluated
Time frame: before start of treatment and upon progression, assessed up to 6 months after last patient last treatment
Biomarker profiles
Analysis of blood biomarkers before the start of study treatment, during the treatment period and upon progression: assessment of blood biomarkers, such as CD4+ CD25+ Forkhead-Box-Protein P3 (FOXP3+) Treg, T and B lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells and monocytes, hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), and to evaluate potential correlations of biomarker expression and clinical outcomes (response, PFS, OS)
Time frame: before start of treatment, during treatment period and upon progression, assessed up to 6 months after last patient last treatment
