About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Single Arm, Open-Label PhIV Study to Investigate the Effect of First-Line Herceptin (Trastuzumab) in Combination With a Taxane in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Who Relapsed After Receiving (Neo)Adjuvant Herceptin for HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer

This single arm, open-label study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Herceptin (trastuzumab) in combination with a taxane as first line therapy in participants with HER2-positive breast cancer who relapsed after neoadjuvant or adjuvant Herceptin treatment. Participants will receive Herceptin (loading dose of 4 mg/kg intravenously [iv], 2 mg/kg iv weekly thereafter) with 6 3-week cycles of either docetaxel (100 mg/m2 iv every 3 weeks) or paclitaxel (90 mg/m2 every week). Herceptin treatment will be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Study groups in NCT01301729
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TrastuzumabExperimentalParticipants with metastatic breast cancer received a loading dose of 4 milligrams per kilograms (mg/kg) of trastuzumab intravenously (IV) followed by 2 mg/kg of trastuzumab IV once a week along with docetaxel 100 milligrams per meter square (mg/m^2), every 3 weeks or paclitaxel 90 mg/m^2 once a week until progression of disease, occurrence of intolerable toxicity, the participant discontinues the study or dies.
Receives: Drug: Docetaxel; Drug: Paclitaxel; Drug: Trastuzumab

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.0 and was defined as the time from the date when the participant signed the informed consent form (ICF) until death or progressive disease (PD). PD was defined as 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. PFS and associated confidence intervals were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: From the date of informed consent to the date of death or progressive disease (up to 28 months)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Overall Response Rate

    Overall response rate was assessed using RECIST 1.0 and defined as the percentage of participants that achieved a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR). CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥) 30 % decrease in the sum of appropriate diameters of all target measurable lesions, no progress in the non-measurable disease, and no new lesions.

    Measured: up to 28 months

  2. Duration of Response

    Duration of response was defined as the time from when a PR or CR was first documented until the date of documented PD or death. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥) 30 % decrease in the sum of appropriate diameters of all target measurable lesions, no progress in the non-measurable disease, and no new lesions. PD was defined as 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: From the time of PR or CR until the date of PD or death (up to 28 months)

  3. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of death due to any cause.

    Measured: Time from enrollment to the date of death (up to 28 months)

  4. Percentage of Participants With an Adverse Event (AE)

    An AE was defined as any adverse medical event that occurred after the participant used the investigational medicinal product (IMP) or other intervention behaviors specified by the protocol in the clinical trial regardless of relationship to the study treatment.

    Measured: Up to 28 days after last infusion of the study drug (28 months)

  5. Determination of Biomarkers Indicative for Response (Serum and Tumour Tissue Analyses)

    Measured: up to 28 months

  6. Clinical Benefit Rate

    Clinical benefit rate was assessed according to RECIST 1.0 and defined as the percentage of participants who experienced a CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) for at least 6 months. CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥) 30 % decrease in the sum of appropriate diameters of all target measurable lesions, no progress in the non-measurable disease, and no new lesions. SD was defined as small changes that do not meet above criteria.

    Measured: up to 28 months

  7. Time to Progression

    Time to progression was defined as the time from the date of enrollment until the date of progressive disease.

    Measured: From the date of enrollment until the date of progressive disease (up to 28 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Docetaxel, Paclitaxel and Trastuzumab in people with Breast Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 17 sites in China.

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 9 inclusion and 7 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 29 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites in China. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 29 Dec 2016). 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?

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: From the date of informed consent to the date of death or progressive disease (up to 28 months)). 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 29 Dec 2016.
