About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Anti-HER2 Therapy Plus Fulvestrant or Capecitabine in First-line Treatment of Women With HR+, HER2+, Non-visceral Metastases, Stage IV Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-HER2 therapy plus Fulvestrant or Capecitabine in women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+), non-visceral metastases, stage IV breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, randomized, 2-arm, multicenter study to compare the safety and efficiency of anti-HER2 therapy (Trastuzumab ± Pertuzumab) plus fulvestrant versus anti-HER2 therapy (Trastuzumab ± Pertuzumab) plus capecitabine in women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+), non-visceral metastases, stage IV breast cancer. Subjects will be randomized into one of two treatment arms. Arm A subjects will receive the anti-HER2 therapy plus fulvestrant. Arm B subjects will receive the anti-HER2 therapy plus capecitabine. The use of Pertuzumab depends on patients' choices.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization to first occurrence of progressive disease (PD), as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: up to approximately 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.

    Measured: up to approximately 2 years

  2. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) is estimated by dividing the number of patients with CR, PR, or SD (for patients with measurable disease) ≥ 24 weeks from randomization.

    Measured: up to approximately 2 years

  3. Duration of Clinical Benefit (DOCB)

    DOCB was defined as the time from randomization to first occurrence of progressive disease (PD), as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first (only for patients of CB)

    Measured: up to approximately 2 years

  4. Safety:Type incidence and severity (as graded by NCI CTCAE v 5.0)

    Seriousness and attribution to the study medications of AEs

    Measured: up to approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pertuzumab, Trastuzumab and Fulvestrant in people with HER2-positive Breast Cancer, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 2 sites 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 27 inclusion and 18 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 8 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Xuexin He, MD (+8618329139569 ext. 057187784818, xuexinhe@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: up to approximately 2 years). 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 8 Apr 2020.
