Trial Outcomes & Findings for Trial Evaluating Dovitinib Combined With Fulvestrant, in Postmenopausal Patients With HER2- and HR+ Breast Cancer (NCT NCT01528345)

NCT ID: NCT01528345

Last Updated: 2016-07-11

Results Overview

PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first radiologically documented disease progression or death due to any cause and was assessed based on RECIST v1.1. Responses include: Complete Response: Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions; Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters; Progressive Disease: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline; Stable Disease: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD; Unknown (UNK) Progression has not been documented and one or more target lesions have not been assessed or have been assessed using a different method than baseline.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 8 weeks assessed up to 34 months

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): Consisted of all randomized patients. Following the intent-to-treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment and stratum to which they wereassigned at randomization.

PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first radiologically documented disease progression or death due to any cause and was assessed based on RECIST v1.1. Responses include: Complete Response: Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions; Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters; Progressive Disease: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline; Stable Disease: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD; Unknown (UNK) Progression has not been documented and one or more target lesions have not been assessed or have been assessed using a different method than baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 8 weeks assessed up to 34 months

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): Consisted of all randomized patients. Following the intent-to-treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment and stratum to which they were assigned at randomization.

ORR was defined as the percentage of patients with a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as per RECIST v1.1. Responses include: Complete Response: Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions; Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters; Progressive Disease: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline; Stable Disease: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD; Unknown (UNK) Progression has not been documented and one or more target lesions have not been assessed or have been assessed using a different method than baseline.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From date of first documented efficacy response (CR or PR) to time of documented progression (PD) whichever comes first, assessed up to 24 months

Population: This outcome measure was not analyzed as the study was terminated before duration of response could be analyzed.

DOR was defined as time from the date of the first documented response (CR or PR) to the date of the first documented or death due to disease. If a patient does not have a progression event, DOR will be censored on the date of the last adequate tumor assessment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From date of randomization to date of death from any cause whichever comes first, assessed up to 34 months

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS): Consisted of all randomized patients. Following the intent-to-treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment and stratum to which they were assigned at randomization.

OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. If a patient is not known to have died at the date of analysis cut-off, the OS will be censored at the last date of contact.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Screening, Week 2, Week 4 and approximately every 4 weeks during treatment period (approximately 34 months)

Population: Safety Set: Consisted of all patients who received at least one dose of any compound of the study treatment (dovitinib +fulvestrant or placebo+fulvestrant). Patients were analyzed according to the actual study treatment received. Actual treatment received was defined as the treatment the patient received at the first day of study medication.

The type, frequency and severity of adverse events, laboratory values, and Electrocardiograms (ECGs) experienced by patients will be assessed according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. The study enrollment was terminated early due to challenges in enrolling patients with FGF amplified status. See safety section for safety details.
