Trial summary

Pathological complete remission (pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer patients is closely related to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), which makes pCR an important evaluation indicator of recurrence risk. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Pyrotinib in Breast Cancer Patients With Poor Response to the Neoadjuvant Treatment of Trastuzumab Combined With Pertuzumab: A Single-center Phase II Clinical Study

Pathological complete remission (pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer patients is closely related to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), which makes pCR an important evaluation indicator of recurrence risk. Trastuzumab combined with pertuzumab is a new standard targeted treatment regimen for HER2-positive early breast cancer. However, there are still quite a few patients who do not reach PCR. For these patients, current guidelines recommend the use of TDM-1 for intensive treatment after surgery, although a significant number of patients still have recurrence or metastasis. Besides, TDM-1 is unavailable in China. Pyrotinib has been approved for HER2-positive breast cancer patients who have previously failed after the treatment of trastuzumab. The investigators intend to conduct this phase II clinical study. Patients with poor response to the standard neoadjuvant treatment regimen of trastuzumab combined with pertuzumab are enrolled. These patients receive pyrotinib to observe that whether pCR has been improved. The investigators aim to explore the effect of pyrotinib in patients with poor response to standard dual-target neoadjuvant therapy, and further explore the improvement of neoadjuvant treatment strategy in HER2 positive early stage breast cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in Chinese women, with 20% to 30% HER2 overexpression. Pathological complete remission (pCR) after neoadjuvant therapy in HER2-positive early stage breast cancer patients is closely related to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS), which makes pCR an important evaluation indicator of recurrence risk. Trastuzumab combined with pertuzumab is a new standard targeted treatment regimen for HER2-positive early breast cancer, with overall pCR rate of 57% to 66%. However, there are still quite a few patients who do not reach PCR after treatment in clinical practice. For patients who do not reach pCR with neoadjuvant therapy, current guidelines recommend the use of TDM-1 for intensive treatment after surgery, but even with TDM-1, a significant number of patients still have recurrence or metastasis. Besides, TDM-1 is currently unavailable in China. Pyrotinib has been approved for HER2-positive breast cancer patients who have previously failed after the treatment of trastuzumab. The investigators intend to conduct this single-arm, single-center phase II clinical study. Patients with poor response to the standard neoadjuvant treatment regimen of trastuzumab combined with pertuzumab are enrolled. These patients receive pyrotinib to observe that whether pCR has been improved after the replacement of targeted treatment regimen. The investigators aim to explore the effect of pyrotinib in patients with poor response to standard dual-target neoadjuvant therapy, and further explore the improvement of neoadjuvant treatment strategy in HER2 positive early stage breast cancer patients.

What participants receive

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

  • PyrotinibDrug

    Also called epirubicin, cyclophosphamide

    Pyrotinib is administered orally at 400 mg daily from day 1 of the first cycle to day 21 of the fourth cycle or to the day of surgery, within 30 minutes after breakfast.

    Epirubicin (90 mg/m2), intravenously, every 21 days. Cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2), intravenously, every 21 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. tpCR

    the absence of invasive neoplastic cells at microscopic examination of the primary tumor and no pathological involvement of ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes at surgery

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Defined as the proportion of best overall response of either complete or partial response.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Disease free survival (DFS)

    Defined as the time from the date of surgery to the date of recurrence/metastasis or the date of death.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. 3-year rate of disease-free survival

    Defined as rate of 3-year disease-free survival

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Event-free survival (EFS)

    Defined as the time from the date of surgery to the date of recurrence/metastasis.

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Number of Participants with Adverse Events

    Defined as number of participants with adverse events related to the treatment

    Measured: 1 year

  6. The quality of life

    Using EORTC (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer) QLQ-BR23 scale. The minimum and maximum values are 0 and 100, respectively. Higher scores mean better outcome.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pyrotinib in people with Breast Cancer, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site 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 7 inclusion and 12 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 7 Feb 2020. 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 Fei Xu, MD (+86-13711277870, xufei@sysucc.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

tpCR (time frame: 1 year). 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 7 Feb 2020.
