Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab Subcutaneous (SC) Treatment in Combination With a Taxane in Participants With Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer (NCT NCT02019277)

NCT ID: NCT02019277

Last Updated: 2018-09-13

Results Overview

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Percentage of participants with AEs and SAEs was reported. AEs included both SAEs and non-SAEs. The 95% confidence interval (CI) was computed using Clopper-Pearson method.

Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab, and Taxane
Participants received first-line therapy with pertuzumab administered via intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of first treatment cycle (1 cycle = 21 days) at a loading dose of 840 milligrams (mg), followed by 420 mg on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle; trastuzumab administered via subcutaneous (SC) injection at a dose of 600 mg on Day 2 of first treatment cycle, and on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle if both pertuzumab and trastuzumab were well tolerated in Cycle 1; and taxane treatment (docetaxel, paclitaxel, or nabpaclitaxel), administered at the discretion of the investigator, per routine clinical practices and local prescribing instructions. Participants continued study treatment until disease progression (PD), unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Participants with unacceptable toxicity or PD were switched to standard treatment of the investigator's choice. All participants were followed-up until withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, death, or study closure.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, disease progression, death, or study end (up to approximately 36 months)

Population: Analysis was performed on ITT population. Only participants with measurable disease at baseline were included in the analysis. Participants without a post-baseline tumor assessment were considered non-responders.

BOR was defined as a confirmed CR or PR. All measurable lesions up to a maximum of 2 lesions per organ and 5 in total were identified as target lesions (TLs) and recorded at baseline. A sum of the diameters (longest for non-nodal lesions, short axis \[SA\] for nodal lesions) for all TLs was calculated as baseline sum of diameters (SD). All other lesions (or sites of disease) were identified as non-TLs and were recorded at baseline. CR was defined as the disappearance of all TLs and SA reduction to less than (\<) 10 millimeter (mm) for nodal TLs/ non-TLs. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (\>/=) 30% decrease in SD of TLs, taking as reference the baseline SD. Confirmation of response at a consecutive tumor assessment at least 4 weeks apart was required. The 95% CI was computed using Clopper-Pearson method.

Population: Analysis was performed on the ITT population.

PFS was defined as the time from start of treatment until first documented PD or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants without PD, death, or who were lost to follow-up at the time of analysis were censored at the date of the last tumor assessment when non-progression was documented or at the last date of follow-up, whichever was last. Participants without tumor assessment data after the baseline were censored at baseline unless death occurred before first scheduled tumor assessment. PD was defined as \>/=20% relative increase and \>/=5 mm of absolute increase in the SD of TLs, taking as reference the smallest SD recorded since treatment started, and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-TLs, or appearance of 1 or more new lesions. Median PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. The 95% CI was computed using Brookmeyer and Crowley method.

Measure
Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab, and Taxane
n=50 participants at risk
Participants received first-line therapy with pertuzumab administered via IV infusion on Day 1 of first treatment cycle (1 cycle = 21 days) at a loading dose of 840 mg, followed by 420 mg on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle; trastuzumab administered via SC injection at a dose of 600 mg on Day 2 of first treatment cycle, and on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle if both pertuzumab and trastuzumab were well tolerated in Cycle 1; and taxane treatment (docetaxel, paclitaxel, or nabpaclitaxel), administered at the discretion of the investigator, per routine clinical practices and local prescribing instructions. Participants continued study treatment until PD, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Participants with unacceptable toxicity or PD were switched to standard treatment of the investigator's choice. All participants were followed-up until withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, death, or study closure.
