About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase 2A/2B Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of ASLAN001 + Capecitabine to Lapatinib + Capecitabine in Patients With HER 2-Positive MBC That Has Failed on Prior Trastuzumab Therapy

This is an open-label, randomized, parallel group Phase 2A/2B study to evaluate the clinical activity of ASLAN001 in combination with capecitabine compared with lapatinib in combination with capecitabine in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer that has failed on prior trastuzumab therapy.

Read the detailed description

Phase 2A Design:

The Phase 2A part is an open-label, randomized, parallel group study using tumor size as its primary efficacy endpoint. Approximately 44 eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either ASLAN001 400 mg orally twice daily (BID) or lapatinib 1250 mg orally once daily (QD), both on a background of capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 orally BID for Days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle. Radiological imaging to assess disease status will be performed at baseline and every 6 weeks until disease progression (as assessed by the Investigator). Patients who have not experienced disease progression after 12 weeks may continue to receive randomized therapy and will continue to have radiological scans every 6 weeks until disease progression.

Criteria to Proceed to Phase 2B:

In the absence of any safety or tolerability concerns, continuation to the Phase 2B part of the study will be primarily based on the statistical comparison of the percentage change in tumor size from baseline to Week 12 and a one-sided p-value <0.1 in favor of the ASLAN001-containing treatment arm would be supportive of continuation to Phase 2B.

Phase 2B Design:

The Phase 2B part of the study will continue to recruit if the pre-specified efficacy criteria are met in the Phase 2A part and if the tolerability of ASLAN001 in combination with capecitabine is considered acceptable.

The Phase 2B part is an open-label, randomized, parallel group study. In this part, approximately 160 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either ASLAN001 400 mg BID or lapatinib 1250 mg QD, both in combination with capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 BID for Days 1-14 of a 21-day cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the efficacy of ASLAN001 in combination with capecitabine, to lapatinib in combination with capecitabine in the percentage change from baseline tumor size at Week 12

    Measured: Week 12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Safety for all metastatic breast cancer (MBC) subjects (Physical examination, body weight, vital signs, ECG parameter, hematology, clinical laboratory tests and Adverse Events)

    Physical exam, body weight, vital signs (Blood pressure, respiratory rate and body temperateure), ECG parameter, hematology, clinical laboratory tests (clinical chemistry, coagulation and urinalysis) and Adverse Events (AEs)/ Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Measured: estimated 2 years

  2. To further compare the efficacy of ASLAN001 in combination with capecitabine to lapatinib in combination with capecitabine, as measured by PFS and tumor volume

    Measured: Week 12

  3. To further compare the efficacy of ASLAN001 in combination with capecitabine to lapatinib in combination with capecitabine, as measured by the Objective Response Rate (ORR), Duration of Response (DoR), and Overall Survival (OS)

    Composite outcome measures

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ASLAN001, Lapatinib and Capecitabine in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by ASLAN Pharmaceuticals at 19 sites in 7 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 10 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 17 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in Taiwan, South Korea, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore and 2 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?

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?

To compare the efficacy of ASLAN001 in combination with capecitabine, to lapatinib in combination with capecitabine in the percentage change from baseline tumor size at Week 12 (time frame: Week 12). 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 17 Oct 2017.
