E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to compare disease free survival (DFS) of women with early stage erbB-2 overexpressed/amplified breast cancer following trastuzumab in the adjuvant setting, receiving neratinib against that of women receiving placebo. DFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of the following DFS events: invasive ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence, local/regional invasive recurrence, distant recurrence, death from any cause, and invasive contralateral breast cancer. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives are to compare additional endpoints of subjects receiving neratinib against those of subjects receiving placebo: o Disease free survival including ductal carcinoma in situ (DFS-DCIS), defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of any DFS event or DCIS. o Time to distant recurrence (TTDR), defined as the time between randomization and the date of the first distant recurrence,or death from breast cancer. o Distant disease free survival (DDFS), defined as the time from randomization to the first distant recurrence or death from any cause. o Incidence of central nervous system (CNS) recurrence. o Overall survival (OS). o Short- and long-term safety (including incidence of grade 3 or higher diarrhea). |

FARMACOGENETICA: Versione:Originale Data:2009/04/29 Titolo:N.A. Obiettivi:Dopo aver raccolto un consenso informato separato, il campione bioptico tumorale originale sara` studiato per: EGFR, amplificazione di erbB-2, erbB-3, ed erbB-4, mutazioni di PIK3CA nei punti caldi (ie, exoni 9,20 mediante sequenziamento genico), amplificazione di PIK3CA (q-PCR o FISH), perdita di PTEN, amplificazione di c-Myc (q-PCR o FISH). Quando la ricaduta della malattia sara` stata documentata patologicamente, saranno richiesti campioni prelevati dalle sedi di ricaduta per le analisi dei biomarker. Il campione bioptico in paraffina fissato in formalina (tumore originale e/o recidiva) potra` essere inviato per le analisi (blocco o serie di sezioni da 5 �m su un numero totale di 14 vetrini per microscopio).

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1.Subjects must have histologically confirmed primary adenocarcinoma of the breast that is erbB-2 positive by one of the following assays, performed locally: o Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or silver in situ hybridization (SISH) must show gene amplification (defined as >2.2), OR o Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) show gene amplification according to the manufacturer`s kit instructions, OR o Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay must show strong positive (ie, 3+ = >30% of invasive tumor cells) staining score. 2. Primary tumor ER/PgR status must be known before study entry. 3. Subjects must have completed a course of prior adjuvant trastuzumab. If less than 12 months of trastuzumab have been given, at least 8 prior doses of weekly trastuzumab, or at least 3 prior doses of trastuzumab given every 3 weeks, must have been administered and it must be specified that the subject is either not eligible or unable to receive further adjuvant trastuzumab. The last dose of trastuzumab must have been given >2 weeks and <2 years from randomization. 4. Have a diagnosis of stage 1 through stage 3c primary breast cancer according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (sixth edition) staging criteria for breast cancer and meet one of the following criteria: o Axillary node-positive disease OR node-negative disease with a primary tumor greater than or equal to 1.0 cm in greatest diameter. (For clarification, isolated tumor cells are considered pN0 and micrometastases are considered pN1.) o Node-negative disease is defined as negative sentinel node biopsy OR no positive lymph nodes found among 6 ancillary nodes examined on axillary node dissection OR status after axillary radiotherapy for sterilization if clinically evaluated as cN0. 5. Adequately treated primary breast cancer with surgery, as defined by prior mastectomy OR lumpectomy, with margins clear of invasive carcinoma and DCIS. Subjects with positive sentinel node biopsies must have subsequent axillary dissection to be eligible; negative sentinel node biopsies require no more axillary surgery for eligibility. 6. Completed treatment with a neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy regimen containing either an anthracycline or a taxane or any cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil (CMF) regimen. 7. Clinical and radiologic assessments that are negative for local or regional recurrence of disease or metastatic disease at the time of study entry, including: o Bone scan; required only if alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is &#8805;2 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and/or there are symptoms of metastatic bone disease. A confirmatory imaging study is required if the results from the bone scan are questionable. o Computed tomography (CT) or ultrasound scan of the abdomen; required only if aspartate transaminase (AST)/alanine transaminase (ALT) or ALP is &#8805;2 x ULN, unless the elevation is in the bone fraction. o Chest radiograph. 8. Negative bilateral mammogram (or unilateral mammogram of the remaining breast if unilateral total mastectomy was performed) within 12 months before study entry. Mammogram not indicated in case of bilateral total mastectomy. 9. Subjects with bilateral breast cancers are eligible only if their primary cancers occurred synchronously (ie, diagnosed at the same time [occurring within 6 months of each other]). One or both tumors need to be erbB-2 positive. One could be negative. 10. Female subjects aged 18 years or older. 11. Subjects must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 1. 12. Adequate organ function as defined by: o Absolute neutrophil count (ANC): &#8805;1.5 � 109/L (1500/mm3) o Platelet count: &#8805;100 � 109/L (100,000/mm3) o Hemoglobin: &#8805;9.0 g/dL (90 g/L) o Serum creatinine: &#8804;1.5 x ULN o Total bilirubin: &#8804;1.5 � ULN (in case of known Gilbert�s syndrome, <2 x ULN is allowed) o AST and ALT: ... |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Clinical or radiologic evidence of local or regional recurrence of disease or metastatic disease at the time of study entry. 2. Currently receiving chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or biotherapy for breast cancer. 3. Any prior mediastinal irradiation except internal mammary node irradiation for the present breast cancer. 4. Metachronous invasive or DCIS breast cancer (ie, primary breast cancers diagnosed at different times [diagnosed greater than 6 months apart from each other]). 5.

Significant chronic gastrointestinal disorder with diarrhea as a major symptom (eg, Crohn�s disease, ulcerative colitis, malabsorption, or grade &#8805;2 diarrhea of any etiology at baseline). 13. QTc interval >0.45 seconds or known history of QTc prolongation or torsades de pointes. 14. History of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. 15. Subjects with a psychiatric illness that would prevent them from understanding the nature of the investigational therapy and complying with protocol requirements. 16. Any major concurrent illness or medical condition that, in the investigator�s judgment, will substantially increase the risk associated with the subject�s participation in and completion of the study. 17.
