This is a randomized, multicenter, phase II clinical trial evaluating prophylactic strategies to mitigate common toxicities associated with capivasertib in combination with fulvestrant in participants with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who are eligible for this treatment regimen.
Capivasertib is an important treatment option for patients with metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Understanding how to decrease the incidence of adverse events will allow patients to stay on the medication longer, potentially deriving greater benefit, and may ultimately result in improved time to next treatment. The investigators hypothesize that cutaneous and diarrheal prophylaxis with antihistamine and loperamide for patients initiating capivasertib will reduce the incidence of grade 2 or greater rash and/or diarrhea at eight weeks.

RECRUITINGNumber of patients who experience grade 2 or greater diarrhea as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0
The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic strategies to mitigate diarrhea in patients receiving capivasertib in combination with fulvestrant for hormone receptor-positive (HR+), HER2-negative advanced breast cancer. Toxicities will be graded on the following scale: grade 1 mild, grade 2 moderate, grade 3 severe, grade 4 life threatening/disabling and grade 5 death related to AE.
Time frame: At the eight-week mark from the commencement of the capivasertib treatment in the study

Rate of Adherence to Capivasertib in Patients with Metastatic HR+/HER2- Breast Cancer
This secondary outcome measure aims to evaluate patient adherence to the prescribed capivasertib treatment regimen among individuals diagnosed with metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer. Adherence will be monitored by examining drug continuation, interruption, and dose reductions through a comprehensive review of drug accountability records.
Time frame: From the start of treatment to the end of the treatment period, assessed up to 24 months.
Average Duration of Capivasertib Treatment from Initial to Final Dose
This secondary outcome measure aims to calculate the average duration of time that patients with metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer remain on capivasertib treatment. This measure will be determined by recording the interval between the first administered dose and the last dose of capivasertib received by each patient. The results will provide valuable information on the typical length of time that patients can maintain the capivasertib regimen.

10 mg orally once a day, starting on Cycle 1 Day 1 and continued for the first eight weeks (each cycle=28 days)
Time frame: From the start of treatment to the end of the treatment period, assessed up to 24 months
Rates of Hyperglycemia in patients with metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer
The assessment will capture the frequency and severity of hyperglycemic events during the treatment period. Participants will self-monitor and record their fasting blood glucose then share with their treating physician, in real time
Time frame: From the start of treatment to the end of the treatment period, assessed up to 24 months
Quality of Life as Measured by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30)
This measure will assess the overall quality of life and functioning of patients based on the EORTC QLQ-C30 instrument. The questionnaire includes scales for physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning, as well as global health status. Scores range from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating better quality of life or functioning.
Time frame: At baseline, every 4 weeks during treatment, and every 12 weeks during follow-up, up to 24 months
Average Number of Completed Cycles of Capivasertib Treatment
This secondary outcome measure aims to quantify the number of completed treatment cycles of capivasertib among patients with metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer. Each completed cycle is defined as a full course of capivasertib as per the prescribed treatment protocol. Data will be collected to assess the completion rate of these cycles, offering insights into patient persistence with the treatment regimen and any factors influencing cycle completion.
Time frame: From the start of treatment to the end of the treatment period, assessed up to 24 months
Diarrhea Severity as Measured by Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE)
This sub-measure will assess the severity and impact of diarrhea as reported by patients using the PRO-CTCAE instrument. Scores range from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (severe symptoms), with higher scores indicating worse outcomes
Time frame: At baseline, every 4 weeks during treatment, and every 12 weeks during follow-up, up to 24 months
Rash Severity as Measured by Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE)
This sub-measure will assess the severity and impact of rash as reported by patients using the PRO-CTCAE instrument. Scores range from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (severe symptoms), with higher scores indicating worse outcomes.
Time frame: At baseline, every 4 weeks during treatment, and every 12 weeks during follow-up, up to 24 months
Fatigue Severity as Measured by Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE)
This sub-measure will assess the severity and impact of fatigue as reported by patients using the PRO-CTCAE instrument. Scores range from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (severe symptoms), with higher scores indicating worse outcomes.
Time frame: At baseline, every 4 weeks during treatment, and every 12 weeks during follow-up, up to 24 months
