About this study

Official title: PERtuzumab-trastuzumab Plus lEetrozoLe In Endocrine Sensitive Breast Cancer: a Phase II neoAdjuvant Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of molecular response in endocrine sensitive breast cancer HER2+/HR+ patients treated with Pertuzumab-trastuzumab plus Ietrozole.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is:

  • to evaluate the rate of pathologic complete response (pCR), as defined as complete disappearance of invasive tumor in breast and axillary nodes.
  • to estimate the percentage of clinical objective responses (cOR) (complete plus partial) in the breast, as assessed by ultrasonography (US)
  • to estimate the percentage of breast conservative surgery
  • to evaluate the safety profile
  • To perform correlative biomarker analyses
Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PertuzumabDrug

    Also called Perjeta

    • Pertuzumab 840 mg loading dose iv on day one, followed by 420 mg iv every 3 weeks for 5 cycles
    • Trastuzumab 8 mg/kg loading dose iv on day 2, followed by 6 mg/kg iv on day 2 of each subsequent 3 weekly cycle
    • Letrozole 2.5 mg daily p.o. for five 21-day cycles (to be continued until surgery).

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of pathologic complete response

    A pathologic complete response (pCR) is defined the complete absence of infiltrating tumor cells in the breast and in lymph nodes. Residual in situ disease (DCIS) will be included in the pCR category.

    Measured: At time of surgery, within 3 weeks from the last i.v. therapy

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of clinical objective response.

    The Clinical Response will be defined according to RECIST criteria comparing the tumor size (largest tumor diameter) before and after treatment, as assessed by ultrasound examination.

    Measured: At time of surgery, within 3 weeks from the last i.v. therapy

  2. Rate of Conservative Surgery

    Measured: At time of surgery, within 3 weeks from the last i.v. therapy

  3. Safety profile assessed by the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) To version 4.0 will be used

    Measured: Every 21-day cycles

  4. Occurrence of mutations in the PIK3CA gene

    Measured: Within 4 weeks prior to first dose treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pertuzumab in people with Endocrine Sensitive HER2+/HR+ Breast Cancer, run by Istituto Oncologico Veneto IRCCS at 8 sites in Italy.

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 12 inclusion and 11 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 18 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 8 sites in Italy. 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?

Rate of pathologic complete response (time frame: At time of surgery, within 3 weeks from the last i.v. therapy). 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 NCT02411344, 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 18 Sep 2018.
