Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate clinical positioning between trastuzumab (Herceptin) monotherapy (H group) and combination therapy of trastuzumab and chemotherapy (H+CT group) based on a randomized controlled trial in women over 70 years with human epidermal growth factor receptor type-2 (HER2) positive primary breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is a randomized, comparative trial of postoperative adjuvant therapies in women with HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor type-2)-positive primary breast cancer who are ≥70 years of age that will compare trastuzumab (Herceptin®) monotherapy (H group) and trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy (H+CT group).

The objectives of this study are as follows.

1. To verify the clinical positioning of trastuzumab monotherapy and combined trastuzumab and chemotherapy as postoperative adjuvant therapies for the treatment of HER2-positive primary breast cancer patients who are ≥70 years of age.
2. To evaluate the safety of trastuzumab monotherapy and combined trastuzumab and chemotherapy in patients who are ≥70 years of age. In particular, to evaluate cardiac disorders that are a characteristic adverse drug reaction of trastuzumab as well as geriatric-related concerns including lipid metabolism, cerebral infarction and cognitive disorders.
3. To evaluate overall survival in patients who are ≥70 years of age using trastuzumab monotherapy or combined trastuzumab and chemotherapy.
4. To evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQOL), cost-effectiveness (utility), and conduct a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in patients who are ≥70 years of age and using trastuzumab monotherapy or combined trastuzumab and chemotherapy.
5. To establish and expand information networks by the participation of practitioners in clinical trials that are involved in general clinical practice and breast cancer.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

trastuzumab monotherapy

H group (trastuzumab monotherapy group)

* Trastuzumab: 1-year treatment
* Loading dose, 8 mg/kg; from 2nd dose, 6 mg/kg; iv inj, qw, 18 times

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

trastuzumab monotherapy

Intervention Type DRUG

trastuzumab and chemotherapy

H+CT group (combination therapy of trastuzumab and chemotherapy)

* Chemotherapy: 12 to 24 weeks
* Select chemotherapy from certain regimens (PTX, DTX, TC, AC, EC, FEC, CMF and TCb (CBDCA)) based on decision of a physician or a patient. Initiate administration of trastuzumab after completion of chemotherapy as a sequential combination. However, concomitant administration is allowed when combining trastuzumab with PTX, DTX and CMF. In cases of TCb (CBDCA), trastuzumab is used concomitant administration.
