Trial Description

Summary

This is a Phase III, randomized, multicenter, international, two-arm, open-label clinical trial designed to compare the safety and efficacy of T-DM1 with that of capecitabine + lapatinib for HER2-positive MBC. A total of 580 patients will be enrolled at approximately 260 sites worldwide. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either T-DM1 or lapatinib + capecitabine.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • HER2 status must be prospectively, centrally tested and be HER2-positive based on central laboratory assay results
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed invasive breast cancer
  • Prior treatment for breast cancer must include both: a taxane, alone or in combination with another agent, and trastuzumab in the adjuvant, locally advanced, or metastatic setting
  • Documented progression of incurable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, defined by the investigator
  • Measurable and/or nonmeasurable disease
  • Cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 50% by either ECHO or MUGA
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
  • For women of childbearing potential, agreement to use an effective form of contraception (patient and/or partner, e.g., surgical sterilization, two reliable barrier methods, birth control pills, or contraceptive hormone implants) and to continue its use for the duration of the study according to local health authority guidelines

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of treatment with T-DM1
  • Prior treatment with lapatinib or capecitabine
  • Peripheral neuropathy of Grade ≥ 3 per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), Version 3.0
  • History of other malignancy within the last 5 years, except for appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, Stage 1 uterine cancer, synchronous or previously diagnosed HER2-positive breast cancer, or cancers with a similar outcome as those mentioned above
  • History of receiving any chemotherapy or investigational treatment within 21 days prior to randomization and recovery of treatment-related toxicity consistent with other eligibility criteria
  • History of radiation therapy within 14 days of randomization
  • Brain metastases that are untreated, symptomatic, or require therapy to control symptoms; or any radiation, surgery, or other therapy, including steroids, to control symptoms from brain metastases within 2 months of randomization
  • History of symptomatic CHF or ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment
  • History of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 6 months of randomization
  • Severe dyspnea at rest due to complications of advanced malignancy or current requirement for continuous oxygen therapy
  • Current severe, uncontrolled systemic disease (e.g., clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, or metabolic disease)
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Current known active infection with HIV, hepatitis B virus, or hepatitis C virus
  • Presence of conditions that could affect gastrointestinal absorption: malabsorption syndrome, resection of the small bowel or stomach, and ulcerative colitis
  • History of intolerance (such as Grade 3-4 infusion reaction) to trastuzumab
  • Known hypersensitivity to 5-fluorouracil or known dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase deficiency
  • Current treatment with sorivudine or its chemically related analogs, such as brivudine
