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 unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer as measured by PFS based on an independent review of tumor assessments.
• To compare the efficacy of T-DM1 versus capecitabine plus lapatinib in patients with
HER2-positive, unresectable, locally advanced breast cancer or MBC as measured by
overall survival (OS) and to assess landmark (1-year and 2-year) survival rates within
each treatment group, as appropriate.
• To access the safety of T-DM1 realtive to the safety of capecitabine plus lapatinib. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare
•PFS between 2 treatment arms based on investigator review of tumor assessments
•the overall objective response rate between 2 treatment arms based on both investigator and independent review of tumor assessments.
•the clinical benefit rate (the proportion of patients with complete response, partial response, or stable disease at 6 mo. after randomization) between 2 treatment arms based on both investigator and independent review of tumor assessments
•time to treatment failure (TTF) between 2 treatment arms
•the time to symptom progression between 2 treatment arms as measured by the FACT-Breast-Trial Outcome Index
•resource expenditure due to hospitalizations and hospital visits for reasons other than defined study evaluations will be compared between 2 treatment arms.
To estimate the duration of objective response within each treatment arm based on both investigator and independent review of tumor assessments |
