About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Trial of Temsirolimus Plus Neratinib for Patients With Metastatic HER2-Amplified or Triple Negative Breast Cancer

This is an open-label, single arm, multi-center, multi-national, adaptive design, dose-escalation Phase 1/2 study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of temsirolimus with daily neratinib, and to determine the safety and efficacy of this combination when given to patients with advanced breast carcinoma, specifically trastuzumab-refractory HER2-amplified disease or triple-negative disease.

Read the detailed description

Phase I Design A standard, 3+3, dose escalation schedule to determine the MTD of temsirolimus in combination with neratinib with no intrapatient dose escalation and a starting dose of temsirolimus 8 mg administered intravenously (IV) weekly (dose level 1) and three patients enrolled in each cohort.

Phase II Design The phase II portion of this trial is comprised of three cohorts. Two of the cohorts utilized a Simon two-stage design to determine the sample size to assess the efficacy of temsirolimus when administered in combination with neratinib: HER2-amplified and triple negative breast cancer. The third cohort was a single stage design with HER2-amplified patients and dose escalation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) (Phase II)

    ORR is defined as proportion of subjects who achieved confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) v1.1: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    A complete or partial response must be confirmed no less than 4-weeks after the criteria for response are initially met.

    Measured: From enrollment date to first documented response, or last tumor assessment, assessed up to two years

Secondary outcomes (4)

  1. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    Defined as the proportion of patients who achieved objective response (CR or PR) or SD for at least 24 weeks per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) v1.1: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.

    Clinical Benefit (CB) = CR + PR + SD >= 24 weeks.

    Measured: From enrollment date to first documented response, or last tumor assessment, assessed up to two years

  2. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Measured from the time at which measurement criteria were first met for CR or PR (whichever status was recorded first), until the date of first recurrence, Progressive Disease (PD), or death was objectively documented, taking as a reference for PD the smallest measurements recorded since enrollment, per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) v1.1: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR; Progressive Disease (PD), At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, and/or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    Measured: From first response to first PD or death, assessed up to two years.

  3. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Defined as time from date of enrollment until the first disease recurrence or progression or death due to any cause; censored at the last assessable evaluation or at the initiation of new anti-cancer therapy. Disease assessment is based on investigator tumor assessments. If no post-baseline tumor assessment then censored at enrollment date.

    Measured: From date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression, or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to two years.

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Defined as the time from enrollment to death due to any cause; censored at the date last known alive.

    Measured: From enrollment to date of death from any cause, or end of long term follow-up, assessed up to three years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Temsirolimus and Neratinib in people with Breast Cancer, run by Puma Biotechnology, Inc. at 12 sites in 6 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 36 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, Spain, United Kingdom, Denmark, France and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Nov 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Objective Response Rate (ORR) (Phase II) (time frame: From enrollment date to first documented response, or last tumor assessment, assessed up to two years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01111825.

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 26 Sep 2018.
