About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib/II, Multi-center, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of AUY922 in Combination With Trastuzumab in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic HER2-positive Breast Cancer, That Has Progressed After or During at Least One Trastuzumab-containing Regimen

The phase Ib part of the trial will assess the MTD of AUY922 in combination with Trastuzumab in patients with Trastuzumab-refractory locally advanced or metastatic HER2+. The MTD is defined as the highest drug dosage not causing in the first cycle of treatment (28 days) medically unacceptable dose limiting toxicity (DLT).

The phase II part of the trial will assess any potential effect on efficacy of adding AUY922 to Trastuzumab in patients with Trastuzumab-refractory locally advanced or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer.

Both AUY922 and Trastuzumab will be administered as a weekly IV infusion. Treatment should be continued as long as the patient does not have disease progression and tolerates the treatment. The following reasons are examples of acceptable reasons for discontinuing the study; tumor progression (by RECIST, as assessed by the investigator), unacceptable toxicity, death, or discontinuation from the study for any other reason, such as patient refusal, withdrawn consent, lost to follow-up or investigator decision.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase two dose (RPTD) of AUY922 in combination with Trastuzumab (phase lb)

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Overall Response Rate as assessed by RECIST (phase ll)

    Measured: Every 8 weeks for the first 24 weeks and every 12 weeks thereafter

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Assess concentration of AUY922 and BJP762 in the blood at different time points (phase lb & ll)

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. Assess frequency, intensity and duration of Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability (phase lb & ll)

    Measured: average 6 months

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS) at the RPTD dose (phase ll only)

    Measured: every 3 months until 24 months after the last patient has been enrolled

  4. Overall Survival (OS) at the RPTD dose

    Measured: every 3 months until 24 months after the last patient has been enrolled

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AUY922 and Trastuzumab in people with Advanced HER2-positive Breast Cancer, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 16 sites in 8 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 5 inclusion and 8 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 8 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United Kingdom, Spain, France, Germany, Italy and 3 more countries. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase two dose (RPTD) of AUY922 in combination with Trastuzumab (phase lb) (time frame: 4 weeks). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01271920, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Dec 2020.
