About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Two-armed, Parallel, Triple-blind, Active-controlled, Equivalency Clinical Trial of Efficacy and Safety Pertuzumab® (CinnaGen Co.) Compared With Perjeta® (Originator Pertuzumab) in Neoadjuvant Treatment of HER2+ Breast Cancer

This study was a phase III, multicenter, triple-blind, equivalency clinical trial to determine the therapeutic efficacy and safety between Pertuzumab® (CinnaGen Co.) compared to originator pertuzumab in HER2-positive early breast cancer patients.

Patients were stratified dynamically for random assignment to treatment with either Pertuzumab® (CinnaGen Co.) or originator pertuzumab, and received neoadjuvant TCHP regimen every 3- weeks.

Read the detailed description

This study was a phase III, multicenter, triple-blind , equivalency clinical trial to determine the therapeutic efficacy and safety between Pertuzumab® (CinnaGen Co.) compared to originator pertuzumab in HER2-positive early breast cancer patients.

Patients stratified dynamically according to two factors: type of breast cancer (inflammatory, locally and operable) and estrogen/ progesterone receptor (ER/PR) (positive or negative) with 1:1 allocation ratio.

Study drugs were administered intravenously on a 3-weekly schedule and were given consecutively on the same day in the following sequence: trastuzumab, followed by pertuzumab, carboplatin, and docetaxel (TCHP regimen).

The primary endpoint was breast pCR (bpCR). Secondary efficacy endpoints included total pCR (tpCR); objective response rate (ORR) and rate of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) for patients for whom mastectomy was planned before treatment (T2-3).

During this study, adverse events (AEs) were monitored continuously. As an adverse event of special interest (AESI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decreased was monitored and assessed by echocardiography throughout the study. Immunogenicity was also assessed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Breast Pathological Complete Response (bpCR)

    bpCR defined as the absence of invasive neoplastic cells in the breast at microscopic examination of the primary tumor at surgery following primary systemic therapy (ypT0/is)

    Measured: 18-20 weeks after first intervention

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Total Pathological Complete Response (tpCR)

    tpCR defined as no invasive tumor residues in the breast and lymph nodes (ypT0/is ypN0)

    Measured: 18-20 weeks after first intervention

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR defined as the proportion of patients who achieved a complete or partial response

    Measured: 18-20 weeks after first intervention

  3. Rate of Breast-conserving Surgery (BCS)

    Rate of BCS for patients for whom mastectomy was planned before treatment (T2-3)

    Measured: 18-20 weeks after first intervention

  4. Safety Assessment Including Treatment Related Adverse Events

    Safety assessment, including the incidence of all reported AEs and abnormal laboratory results was done. All AEs were classified based on the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA Desktop Browser 4.0 Beta) terms as System Organ Class (SOC) and Preferred Term (PT). All the reported events were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0). Moreover, seriousness of AEs was assessed according to International Council for Harmonization (ICH-E2B) guidelines. The causality relation was assessed based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.

    Measured: Throughout the study duration (from first visit to week 18-20)

  5. Abnormal Laboratory Data

    Laboratory data including CBC diff have been assessed. All abnormal values were recorded as adverse event.

    Measured: Throughout the study duration (from first visit to week 18-20)

  6. Decrease in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF)

    LVEF decrease was measured by echocardiography. All cases with a decrease more than 10% from baseline which meet <50%, will be recorded as adverse events.

    Measured: every 6 week (from first visit to week 18-20)

  7. Incidence of Symptomatic Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction (LVSD)

    In this study, LVSD was evaluated by measuring the decrease in LVEF (outcome measure 5) and assessing the clinical symptoms of the study participants based on physician opinion.

    Measured: Throughout the study duration (from first visit to week 18-20)

  8. Immunogenicity

    The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used for the assessment of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs).

    Measured: Every 3 weeks (from first intervention to week 18)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab and Carboplatin in people with HER2-positive Breast Cancer, run by Cinnagen at 44 sites in Iran.

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 17 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 26 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 44 sites in Iran. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jul 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Breast Pathological Complete Response (bpCR) (time frame: 18-20 weeks after first intervention). 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 26 Jul 2024.
