About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Delayed Adjuvant Herceptin® in Patients With HER-2 Positive Breast Cancer

The purpose of the study is to determine what factors affect a patient's decision to accept delayed Herceptin® treatment after completing their surgery and/or chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

Women with invasive breast cancer that have a HER-2 positive (FISH +) determination in 2004 or thereafter and who have completed surgery and primary treatment earlier will be potentially eligible.

Patients will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their breast cancer and reasons why they may or may not accept Herceptin® treatment. Patients will be given the option to (1) receive Herceptin® for 52 weeks and have annual doctor visits for 5 years or (2) not to receive Herceptin® but agree to annual doctor visits for 5 years.

Study Phase- Phase II Study Type- Interventional Study Design-

This is an open label, non-randomized phase II study in patients with non-metastatic HER-2 positive breast cancer by FISH diagnosed in 2004 or thereafter. Potential patients will sign a written ICF prior to completing a questionnaire designed to determine what factors may affect a patient's acceptance of Herceptin® treatment. After answering the questionnaire, patients will be given the following options:

  1. to receive one year of trastuzumab treatment and annual follow-up for 5 years
  2. to decline trastuzumab treatment but serve as a comparison group member for monitoring safety and effectiveness of trastuzumab and to have annual follow-up for 5 years

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate acceptance rate of delayed adjuvant trastuzumab treatment.

  2. To evaluate signs and symptoms of cardiotoxicity.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Annual assessment of recurrent disease.

  2. Overall survival and disease specific survival.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: lack of accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate acceptance rate of delayed adjuvant trastuzumab treatment.. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Aug 2016.
