A Dose Finding Study of Subcutaneous Herceptin (Trastuzumab) in Healthy Male Volunteers and HER2 Positive Female Patients
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Hoffmann-La Roche, January 2009
Sponsored by: Hoffmann-La Roche
Information provided by: Hoffmann-La Roche
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00800436
  Purpose

This 2 part study will select the subcutaneous(sc) dose of Herceptin which results in comparable exposure to intravenous(iv) Herceptin in healthy male volunteers and in HER2 positive female patients, and will assess the safety and tolerability of the 2 formulations. In the first part of the study, 4 cohorts of subjects will be treated with a single dose of Herceptin as follows: Cohort 1--6mg/kg iv in healthy male volunteers; Cohort 2--6mg/kg iv in female patients; Cohort 3--6mg/kg sc in healthy male volunteers; Cohort 4 --10mg/kg sc in healthy male volunteers. In part 2 of the study, the chosen sc dose (<12mg/kg)will be confirmed in female patients. Patients will receive a maximum of 2 doses of Herceptin, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
