About this study

Official title: Multicenter, Phase II Study of Chemotherapy in Combination With Trastuzumab in Patients of Pretreated, HER2 Positive, Relapse or Metastatic Carcinoma of Digestive System

To seek the efficacy signals of trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy in pretreated patients of HER2 positive, relapse or metastatic carcinoma of digestive system as response rate (RR) determined by the Investigator using RECIST 1.1, and provide evidence for phase III clinical trial.

Read the detailed description

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, (HER2) is overexpressed /amplified in multiple carcinomas, for example, gastric cancer(GC), gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma(GEJA),and breast cancer.And HER2 is closely related to tumor proliferation \&metastases.About 90% Chinese esophagus cancer are squamous cell origin. The reported HER2 overexpression ranged from 5-30%, Beijing cancer hospital reported an 11% positive rate. The variety of HER2 positive rate may because of the absence of standard HER2 testing criteria. The current treatment for metastatic Esophageal squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) is not satisfactory. Fluorouracil and platinum are considered as first line standard of care (SOC) with a 20-30% RR and 7-9 months overall survival (OS). In second line setting, there is no SOC in china. And the efficacy is not satisfactory. Esophageal adenocarcinoma has a higher HER2 positive rate of 14%, but no data reported of using trastuzumab in these patients in China. Biliary tract cancer (BTC), including intrahepatic/extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is very aggressive, total 5y survival is less than 5% for unresectable patients. GBC is account for approximately 2/3 of BTC, and it's estimated the incidence in china is 52800 and the mortality is 40700 in 2015. Most patients are diagnosed in advanced stage and lose the opportunity of surgery. However, there is no SOC for unresectable BTC, gemcitabine plus platinum provided a 30% RR and 10 month OS. In second line treatment, no differences were seen between various experimental agents. The reported HER2 positive rate range from 5.1% to 57% in biliary duct cancer and 4.7% to 64% in GBC. Researchers reported her2 amplification is related to tumor stage and lymph nodes metastasis in 221 BTC patients. Another study reported a 16.6% positive rate and worse prognosis with a sample size of 230 GBC patients. Meanwhile, HER2 pathway mutation rate reached 37%. All imply that BTC may be the potential anti HER therapy population. Besides, other digestive system tumor has low HER2 positive rate (Small intestinal cancer 0.9-3%; hepatocellular carcinoma 2.4%; Pancreatic cancer 3%; etc.). However, the patient pool is large and has no SOC in second Line. Whether these HER2 + patients can gain benefit form anti- her treatment is worth investigating. In 2016 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), a study reported that using trastuzumab and pertuzumab combination, 35% metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) and 50% BTC patients who heavily pretreated had objective response. However, china doesn't have studies for these patients. .

The concurrent basket trial will explore the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab with chemotherapy in Chinese patients of pretreated, HER2 positive, relapse or metastatic carcinoma of digestive system.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response Rate(RR) for each cohort in intent to treat (ITT) population

    The percentage of patients, whose tumor volume in first time shrink to pre-defined criteria, including CR and PR

    Measured: baseline up to death or disease progression,which ever occurs first(up to approximately 8.5 years)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Disease control rate

    The percentage of patients who achieve complete remission(CR) or partial remission (PR) or stable disease(SD) determined by the RECIST v1.1 criteria.

    Measured: baseline up to death or disease progression,which ever occurs first(up to approximately 8.5 years)

  2. best overall response

    The percentage of patients who achieve either a CR or PR as determined by the RECIST v1.1 criteria based on investigator's assessment that is confirmed by a repeat assessment performed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response are first met.

    Measured: 10-30 weeks

  3. Progression free survival

    Defined as the initiation of treatment to the day of first documentation of PD or date of death, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: baseline up to death or disease progression,which ever occurs first(up to approximately 8.5 years)

  4. Overall survival

    Is the time from the initiation of treatment to the date of death from any cause.

    Measured: baseline up to death or disease progression,which ever occurs first(up to approximately 8.5 years)

  5. time to response

    Defined as the initiation of treatment to the day of first documentation of response.

    Only patients who achieve an objective response will be included in the analysis.

    Measured: 6-30 weeks

  6. duration of response

    Defined as the time from the date of the first documented objective response to the date of first documented PD or death, whichever occurs first. Only patients who achieve an objective response will be included in the analysis.

    Measured: 6-30 weeks

  7. time to progression(TTP)

    Defined as the initiation of treatment to the day of first documentation of PD.

    Measured: 6-30 weeks

  8. Quality of Life by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG)performance status( PS) scoring criteria

    Measured: Day 1 of each 21-day treatment cycle up to 28 days and 60-90 days after Day 1 of last treatment cycle(up to approximately 8.5 years)

  9. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03

    Measured: baseline up to approximately 8.5 years

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 17 inclusion and 22 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xicheng Wang, Dr. (86-10-8819-6561, xicheng_wang@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response Rate(RR) for each cohort in intent to treat (ITT) population (time frame: baseline up to death or disease progression,which ever occurs first(up to approximately 8.5 years)). 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 NCT03185988, 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.
