E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare the efficacy of T-DM1 vs. capecitabine plus lapatinib in patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer as measured by PFS based on an independent review of tumor assessments To compare the safety of T-DM1 with the safety of capecitabine plus lapatinib |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare 1-year and overall survival (OS) between the two treatment arms To compare PFS between the two treatment arms based on investigator review of tumor assessments To compare the overall objective response rate between the two treatment arms based on both investigator and independent review of tumor assessments To estimate the duration of objective response within each treatment arm based on both investigator and independent review of tumor assessments To compare the clinical benefit rate (the proportion of patients with complete response, partial response, or stable disease at 6 months after randomization) between the two treatment arms based on both investigator and independent review of tumor assessments To compare time to treatment failure (TTF) between the two treatment arms et al. |

Albumin > 2.5 g/dL Total bilirubin 1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN) SGOT (AST), SGPT (ALT), and alkaline phosphatase <2.5�ULN with the following exception: Patients with bone metastases: alkaline phosphatase <5�ULN Creatinine clearance >50 mL/min based on Cockroft-Gault glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation: (140 &#8722;Age) � (weight in kg) �(0.85 if female)/72 � serum creatinine International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)<1.5�ULN (unless on therapeutic coagulation) 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. Specific country requirements will be followed (e.g., in the United Kingdom, women of childbearing potential and male subjects and their partners of childbearing potential must use two methods of contraception [one of which must be a barrier method] for the duration of the study). |
