About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Pyrotinib Maleate Combined With ARX788 Neoadjuvant Treatment in Stage II-III HER2-positive Breast Cancer Patients Who Have Poor Outcomes After Treatment With Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab

Next-generation Site-specific human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeting Antibody-drug Conjugate (ARX788) is an antibody-conjugated drug. Results from the phase I safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic trial of ARX788 single drug in Chinese patients with advanced HER2 breast cancer indicated a good safety of the test drug, and responses to anti-tumor therapy were observed in the target dose group. Phase II clinical trial is being carried out gradually. This trial is designed to observe the effectiveness and safety of pyrotinib maleate combined with ARX788 neoadjuvant treatment in stage II-III HER2-positive breast cancer patients experiencing a poor efficacy of trastuzumab and pertuzumab.

Read the detailed description

This study adopts a single-arm, multi-center, open design. As per the initial plan, 30 stage II-III human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer patients who have received neoadjuvant therapy containing trastuzumab and pertuzumab and have been assessed as stable disease (SD) during the neoadjuvant treatment (an increase of 0-20%), disease progression (PD), inoperable or failing to meet the breast-conserving requirements will be enrolled to receive pyrotinib combined with Next-generation Site-specific HER2-targeting Antibody-drug Conjugate (ARX788) neoadjuvant therapy. The main purpose of the study is to observe the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib combined with ARX788 neoadjuvant treatment in stage II-III HER2-positive breast cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • Next-generation Site-specific human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeting Antibody-drug Conjugate (ARX788)Drug

    Also called pyrotinib maleate

    The subjects who sign an informed consent will enter the treatment period after screening. Each eligible subject will receive pyrotinib, 320 mg once a day, with 21 days as a session, for 6 sessions in total before operation. Next-generation Site-specific human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeting Antibody-drug Conjugate (ARX788) will be intravenously injected at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg, once every 3 weeks, with 21 days as a session, for 6 sessions before surgery. Breast MRI and other imaging examinations will be reviewed every 2 sessions to evaluate the curative effect, and the patient's baseline will be defined based on the imaging report at the time of enrollment. If a definite effect (complete response/partial response) is achieved, surgical treatment will be performed within 4 weeks (> 2 weeks) after completion of 6 sessions of neoadjuvant therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Residual tumor burden (RCB) classification in grades

    Postoperative pathological results will be used to assess the residual tumor area of primary breast tumor (area in mm×mm), the cell density of the residual tumor(cell density in percentages), the proportion of carcinoma in situ (proportion of carcinoma in percentages), the number of positive lymph nodes and the diameter of largest metastasis with residual nodes (diameter in mm). The RCB class can be estimated from the above five pathological parameters through a network calculation: RCB-0 in grades: pCR; RCB-I in grades: minimal residual tumor; RCB-II: moderate residual tumor; RCB-III in grades: extensive residual tumor.

    Measured: At least 3 years since enrollment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Best overall response rate (BORR) in percentage

    The proportion of patients who achieve remission at any point during the study.

    Measured: At least 3 years since enrollment

  2. Total pathological complete response rate (tpCR) in percentage

    The standard for removal of breast and lymph node tumors which means there are no infiltrating cancer cells at the primary breast and axillary lymph nodes, and only intraductal cancer is allowed on the breast.

    Measured: At least 3 years since enrollment

  3. Total breast pathological complete remission rate (bpCR) in percentage

    The standard for breast and lymph node tumor removal which means that there are only infiltrating cancer cells at the primary breast tumor site.

    Measured: At least 3 years since enrollment

  4. Disease-free survival (DFS)

    the time from the day of enrollment to the first occurrence of recurrent disease, including second primary malignancies in the non-breast area and breast ductal carcinoma in situ.

    Measured: At least 3 years since enrollment

  5. Overall survival (OS)

    the time from the random date to death due to any cause.

    Measured: At least 3 years since enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Next-generation Site-specific human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeting Antibody-drug Conjugate (ARX788) in people with Breast Neoplasms, run by Shengjing Hospital 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Sep 2022. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Nan Niu, MD (8618940256668, niunannancy@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Residual tumor burden (RCB) classification in grades (time frame: At least 3 years since enrollment). 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 13 Sep 2022.
