PD was defined as >/=20% relative increase with >/=5 mm of absolute increase in the SoD, taking as reference the smallest SoD recorded since treatment started; 1 or more new lesion(s); and/or unequivocal progression of non-TLs. Participants with no PFS events were censored on the date of the last tumor assessment. Participants without post-baseline tumor assessment were censored at randomization plus 1 day. The median PFS and 90% CI was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline until PD, death from any cause, consent withdrawal, or study end whichever occurred first (up to approximately 2.5 years overall)

  18. Phase 2 (mBC): Percentage of Participants With Clinical Benefit as Assessed by the Investigator According to RECIST v1.1

    The clinical benefit was defined as a confirmed response of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) that lasted for at least 6 months. Tumor response was assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. CR: the disappearance of all TLs and non-TLs; SA reduction to <10 mm for nodal TLs/non-TLs; and no new lesions. PR: >/=30% decrease in SoD of TLs, taking as reference the baseline SoD; no progression in non-TLs; and no new lesions. PD: >/=20% relative increase with >/=5 mm of absolute increase in the SoD, taking as reference the smallest SoD recorded since treatment started; 1 or more new lesion(s); and/or unequivocal progression of non-TLs. SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest SoD on study. The 90% CI was computed using Clopper-Pearson approach.

    Measured: Baseline until clinical benefit response, consent withdrawal, or study end whichever occurred first (up to approximately 2.5 years overall)

  19. Phase 2 (mBC): Percentage of Participants Who Died of Any Cause

    Measured: Baseline until death or study end whichever occurred first (up to approximately 2.5 years overall)

  20. Phase 2 (mBC): Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time (in months) from randomization until death from any cause. Participants who were alive at the time of data cut-off were censored on the date of the last follow-up assessment. Participants who were lost to follow-up were censored as having no event (alive) on the date of last contact. The median OS and 90% CI was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method, which use the patients at risk as denominator rather than the whole number of patients.

    Measured: Baseline until death or study end whichever occurred first (up to approximately 2.5 years overall)

  21. Phase 1 (LA/mGC): Percentage of Participants With BOR as Assessed by the Investigator According to RECIST v1.1

    Tumor response was assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. BOR in Phase 1 was defined as percentage of participants with a CR or PR. CR was defined as the disappearance of all TLs and non-TLs; SA reduction to <10 mm for nodal TLs/non-TLs; and no new lesions. PR was defined as >/=30% decrease in SoD of TLs, taking as reference the baseline SoD; no progression in non-TLs; and no new lesions.

    Measured: Baseline until CR/PR, consent withdrawal, or study end whichever occurred first (up to approximately 1.5 years overall)

  22. Phase 1 (LA/mGC): Serum Concentration of Trastuzumab Emtansine

    Measured: Pre-trastuzumab emtansine dose (0 h) on Day 1 Cycle 2; 15-30 min after end of trastuzumab emtansine infusion (maximum infusion duration = 90 min) on Day 2 Cycle 1 and Day 1 Cycle 2 (cycle length=21 days)

  23. Phase 1 (LA/mGC): Serum Concentration of Trastuzumab

    Trastuzumab was derived from trastuzumab emtansine.

    Measured: Pre-trastuzumab emtansine dose (0 h) on Day 1 Cycle 2; 15-30 min after end of trastuzumab emtansine infusion (maximum infusion duration = 90 min) on Day 2 Cycle 1 and Day 1 Cycle 2 (cycle length=21 days)

  24. Phase 1 (LA/mGC): Cmax of Capecitabine

    Cmax for capecitabine was estimated from plasma concentration versus time data using non-compartmental methods of analysis. Reported dispersion values are for CV% and not for standard deviation.

    Measured: Pre-capecitabine dose (0 h) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 4, and 6 h post-capecitabine dose on Day 1 Cycle 1

  25. Phase 1 (LA/mGC): AUC(0-inf) of Capecitabine

    AUC(0-inf) is the measure of total drug exposure and is dependent on the total amount of drug absorbed. AUC(0-inf) for capecitabine was estimated from plasma concentration versus time data using non-compartmental methods of analysis. Reported dispersion values are for CV% and not for standard deviation.

    Measured: Pre-capecitabine dose (0 h) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 4, and 6 h post-capecitabine dose on Day 1 Cycle 1

  26. Phase 1 (LA/mGC): t1/2 of Capecitabine

    Plasma terminal half-life is the time measured for the plasma drug concentration to decrease by one half during the elimination phase of the drug. t1/2 for capecitabine was estimated from plasma concentration versus time data using non-compartmental methods of analysis. Reported dispersion values are for CV% and not for standard deviation.

    Measured: Pre-capecitabine dose (0 h) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 4, and 6 h post-capecitabine dose on Day 1 Cycle 1

  27. Phase 1 (LA/mGC): Cmax of 5-Fluorouracil (Metabolite of Capecitabine)

    5-fluorouracil is a metabolite of capecitabine. Cmax for 5-fluorouracil was estimated from plasma concentration versus time data using non-compartmental methods of analysis. Reported dispersion values are for CV% and not for standard deviation.

    Measured: Pre-capecitabine dose (0 h) and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 4, and 6 h post-capecitabine dose on Day 1 Cycle 1

  28. Phase 1 (LA/mGC): AUC(0-inf) of 5-Fluorouracil (Metabolite of Capecitabine)

    5-fluorouracil is a metabolite of capecitabine. AUC(0-inf) is the measure of total drug exposure and is dependent on the total amount of drug absorbed. AUC(0-inf) for 5-fluorouracil was estimated from plasma concentration versus time data using non-compartmental methods of analysis. Reported dispersion values are for CV% and not for standard deviation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Capecitabine and Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in people with Breast Cancer and Gastric Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 40 sites in 12 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 18 inclusion and 29 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 40 sites in Germany, Russia, France, Brazil, Italy and 7 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Apr 2019). 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?

Phase 1 (mBC): Percentage of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Continuously during Cycle 1 (up to 3 weeks)). The study lists 5 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 NCT01702558, 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 22 Jan 2021.
