Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase II Trial to Validate Markers for a Response Evaluation of a Combined Therapy in Patients With HER2+ Breast Cancer (NCT NCT01891357)

NCT ID: NCT01891357

Last Updated: 2019-09-17

Results Overview

pCR was defined at the time of surgery and measured by size of residual tumor, proportion of vital cells within invasive carcinoma, number of positive lymph nodes (ypN) and size of the largest lymph node metastasis and ductal carcinoma in situ (ypT). pCR is defined as ypT0/is, ypN0. Further exploratory pCR definitions were ypT0, ypN0 (total pCR) and ypT0/is (near pCR).

Participant Flow

Patients should only have been registered for the study, if final results of screening evaluations were available and all inclusion/exclusion criteria met. This was not true for 3 patients. Patients should not have been registered due to distant metastasis. These patients were classified as screening failures and withdrawn from the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Average of 16 weeks

Population: Measurement of pCR: at time of surgery, measured by size of residual tumor, proportion of vital cells per invasive carcinoma, number of positive lymph nodes (ypN), size of largest lymph node metastasis, ductal carcinoma in situ (ypT). Definition of pCR: ypT0/is, ypN0. Exploratory pCR definition: ypT0, ypN0 (total pCR), ypT0/is (near pCR).
