E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare the duration of overall survival in patients who are randomized at enrollment to treatment with one of two trastuzumab dosing regimens (loading dose of 8mg/kg) followed by either 6mg/kg or 10mg/kg maintenance doses given every 3 weeks, plus cisplatin and capecitabine. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To compare the duration of overall survival (OS) in patients on the two trastuzumab treatment arms who are found to have trastuzumab Cmin values < 12 μg/mL on Cycle 1 Day 21.
• To assess trastuzumab concentrations during treatment Cycle 1 and trastuzumab Cmin(Day 21) values in additional treatment cycles through Cycle 11 (ie, pre-dose concentration before Cycle 12) or until disease progression (whatever occurs first) for the two dosing regimens.
• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of trastuzumab for the two dosing regimens.
• To compare the duration of progression-free survival (PFS) and the overall objective response rate (ORR) in patients on the two trastuzumab treatment arms who are found to have trastuzumab Cmin values < 12 μg/mL on treatment Cycle 1 Day 21. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Evaluation of the pharmacokinetics of trastuzumab administered every three weeks at two different maintenance dose levels to patients with metastatic HER2-positive gastric or gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Protocol BO27798PK version A dated 23 June 2011. The objectives are
• To characterize the serum trastuzumab concentration-vs-time (C-vs-T) profiles in the study population following the initial loading dose (8 mg/kg) at Cycle 1, and the maintenance doses (6 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg q3W) at Cycles 2 and 4.
• To evaluate the accumulation of peak and trough serum trastuzumab concentrations following selected sequential doses given every three weeks, up to the projected steady-state (Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
7, 9, and 11).
• To describe the pharmacokinetic (PK) of trastuzumab in patients with metastatic gastric/GEJ cancer and compare to previous observations in
patients with metastatic breast cancer and gastric cancer.
• To support development and refinement of an integrated population-based model for the PK disposition of trastuzumab in cancer patients, using data from multiple dosing regimens and disease types. |

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial

The end of the study will be when the targeted number of events for the final analysis of OS (379/400) is reached and the last patient has completed 6 months of cardiac safety follow-up thereafter, or when the study is terminated by the Sponsor, whichever occurs first.
Patients still receiving trastuzumab at the time of study end and who do not have PD will be allowed to continue trastuzumab until progression of disease under a separate extension protocol. |
