Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43870   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7289   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy (as measured by progression free survival at 6 months) of pertuzumab combined with trastuzumab (PH) or PH plus metronomic chemotherapy (PHM) in an elderly metastatic breast cancer population and to select attractive treatments for further development in phase III.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The responsible investigator ensured that this study was conducted in agreement with either the Declaration of Helsinki (available on the World Medical Association web site (http://www.wma.net)) and/or the laws and regulations of the country, whichever provides the greatest protection of the patient. The protocol had been written, and the study was conducted according to the ICH Harmonized Tripartite Guideline on Good Clinical Practice (ICH-GCP, available online at http://www.ema.europa.eu/pdfs/human/ich/013595en.pdf). The protocol was approved by the competent ethics committee(s) as required by the applicable national legislation.
    Background therapy
    Because of the under-representation of older patients in clinical trials, there is a lack of evidence-based clinical recommendations for older HER-2 positive breast cancer patients. Several different chemotherapy options in combination with trastuzumab are used, although there is a lack of data from randomized trials in this elderly population which is especially marked for non-fit individuals. Weekly paclitaxel, capecitabine and metronomic chemotherapy (low doses of oral cyclophosphamide and methotrexate) are chemotherapy options with proven efficacy and good safety profile in older patients, and trastuzumab is often added to these regimens. There is no real standard of care in this population , but chemotherapy regimens in combination with trastuzumab are often used. Results of the phase 3 CLEOPATRA study, published in 2012, established docetaxel plus trastuzumab and pertuzumab as a new first-line standard of care for this population. However, docetaxel is a chemotherapeutic agent with well known and clinically relevant toxicity, affecting quality of life. It was also known that metronomic chemotherapy with oral cyclophosphamide is an active chemotherapy regimen with minor toxicity and is thus suitable for older patients. There were, however, no relevant data for the effects of metronomic cyclophosphamide combined with anti-HER2 therapy in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. The present study aimed to investigate whether anti-HER2 blockade alone could be adequately effective in this population or whether addition of a milder type of chemotherapy is required.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Between July 2, 2013, and May 10, 2016, 80 patients were enrolled by 19 institutions in 7 countries. After review, 3 patients were found not eligible to this trial (two due to previous medical history including secondary cancers, one patient younger than 70 years old not fulfilling eligibility criteria based on ADL or IADL or CCI criteria).

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    - HER-2 positive invasive breast cancer - Newly diagnosed or recurrent stage IV disease - Measurable (RECIST v. 1.1) or evaluable disease - Age ≥ 70 years of age, or ≥ 60 years old with required number of dependencies (defined based on ADL or iADL or CCI evaluations)

    Treatment cycles are defined as a 3 week period. Both treatments were given until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or patient's refusal. Dose reductions were not allowed. In case of treatment delay of 3 weeks or more, the patient would discontinue the protocol-specified treatment. Tumour evaluation was done every 9 weeks, independently of treatment delays. After disease progression, all patients could be treated as per standard practice at the physician’s discretion, but they were also given the option of receiving intravenous trastuzumab-DM1 as part of the protocol treatment. Those patients are reported as having completed Period 1 as per EUDRACT reporting system requirements, although they all discontinued randomized treatment due to progressive disease. Cardiac monitoring was done with regular evaluation of LVEF every 9 weeks. For patients with progressive disease limited to the brain, a protocol amendment implemented in July 4, 2014 allowed continuation on the prot

    Dosage and administration details
    Trastuzumab should be administered at loading dose of 8 mg/kg of body weight on cycle 1, followed by a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg every 3 weeks. The dose of trastuzumab does not need to be recalculated unless the body weight has changed by more than ± 10% from baseline. The initial dose of trastuzumab should be administered over 90 (± 10) minutes and patients observed for at least 30 minutes from the end of the infusion for infusion-related symptoms such as fever, chills etc. If the infusion is well tolerated, subsequent infusions may be administered over 30 (± 10) minutes and patients should be observed for a further 30 minutes. If a patient misses a dose of trastuzumab by more than 1 week, a re-loading dose of trastuzumab (8 mg/kg) may be given in the same fashion as for cycle 1. If the patient misses a maintenance dose of treatment by one week or less, then the usual maintenance dose should be given as soon as possible.

    Dosage and administration details
    Cyclophosphamide should be taken orally by the patient, at a daily dose of 50 mg/day, approximately at the same hour every day. If any intake should be missed/ forgotten by the patient, the normal schedule and dosage should be maintained, without trying to catch up with the dose that has been skipped. In case that a patient only progresses in the brain, and the PHM treatment continues, a treatment delay of more than 21 days can be accepted in order for him/her to complete brain metastatic treatment (whole brain irradiation, radiosurgery or equivalent). However, treatment should be resumed at the latest three weeks after the day of completion of local treatment for brain disease. No premedication/ supportive treatment is needed for metronomic chemotherapy. No vital signs assessment required for cyclophosphamide.

    T-DM1 consists of the trastuzumab antibody conjugated to DM1. After binding to HER-2, T-DM1 is internalized and DM1 induces cancer cell death by inhibiting assembly of microtubules. T-DM1 should be given at a dose of 3.6 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks. The total dose depends on the patient’s weight on day 1 of each cycle.

    Treatment cycles are defined as a 3 week period. Both treatments were given until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or patient's refusal. Dose reductions were not allowed. In case of treatment delay of 3 weeks or more, the patient would discontinue the protocol-specified treatment. Tumour evaluation was done every 9 weeks, independently of treatment delays. After disease progression, all patients could be treated as per standard practice at the physician’s discretion, but they were also given the option of receiving intravenous trastuzumab-DM1 as part of the protocol treatment. Those patients are reported as having completed Period 1 as per EUDRACT reporting system requirements, although they all discontinued randomized treatment due to progressive disease.

    End point title
    Progression-Free Survival (PFS) rate at 6 months
    End point description
    Progression free survival is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of disease progression or death. If neither event has been observed, then the patient is censored on the date of the last follow up examination. Progression of the disease is defined based on one or several of the following criteria: ♦ Documented radiological progression as defined by RECIST 1.1. ♦ Development of new lesions ♦ Unequivocal (according to physician's assessment) deterioration of non-measurable lesions. PFS (including the primary estimate at 6 months) is summarized by the empirical distribution function for interval censored data. One patient in the trastuzumab and pertuzumab plus metronomic oral cyclophosphamide group was excluded from the interval-censored analysis because she had received trastuzumab and pertuzumab treatment during the first day but immediately stopped because of toxicity and withdrew consent.

    Statistical analysis description
    Both treatment groups were compared for PFS at 6 months with the aim of assessing whether one of the groups seemed superior and promising for further development. Assuming that PFS at 6 months for one group is 55%, and for the other group 40%, a sample size of 40 patients per group would result in an estimated probability of selecting the better treatment group of 0·81. With this design, there was a 63·5% chance of observing at least a 10% difference favouring the best regimen.

    Overall survival is measured from the date of randomization to the date of death whatever the cause of death. Patients who are alive are censored at the last date known to be alive. OS is estimated by the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method. Median OS is provided with its 95% confidence interval (note that if upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval could not be estimated, it is entered as 100% to allow data entry into the EUDRACT reporting system). OS results are reported at the time of final analysis with a data cut off dated 26 March 2021 corresponding to a median follow-up of 54.0 months.

    Breast cancer specific survival is measured from the date of randomization to the date of death due to breast cancer. Deaths due to non-breast cancer causes are analyzed as competing risks. Patients who are alive are censored at the last date known to be alive. BCSS is estimated by the cumulative incidence function method. Median BCSS is provided with its 95% confidence interval (note that if upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval could not be estimated, it is entered as 100% to allow data entry into the EUDRACT reporting system).

    Responses were calculated according to RECIST version 1.1 on the corresponding per-protocol population (defined as all eligible patients who started their allocated treatment) with measurable disease at baseline. Tumour evaluation was done every 9 weeks, independently of treatment delays Each patient will be assigned one of the following categories: complete response, partial response, stable disease, progressive disease, early death or not evaluable. Early death is defined as any death occurring before the first per protocol time point of tumor reevaluation. Patients’ response will be classified as "not evaluable" if insufficient data were collected to allow evaluation per these criteria.

    Progression free survival after T-DM1 is defined similarly to PFS, with the following differences: ♦ This analysis is restricted to patients who received T-DM1 ♦ A new baseline is taken prior to start of T-DM1 to evaluate progression on T-DM1. ♦ The endpoint is measured from the start of T-DM1 administration. PFS after T-DM1 start is summarized by the empirical distribution function for interval censored data. PFS after T-DM1 start is reported at the time of final analysis with a data cut off dated 26 March 2021 corresponding to a median follow-up on T-DM1 of 33.7 months.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes

    Patients considered to have a brain disease progression regardless their response in the peripheral disease were considered as eligible to shift from the combination of pertuzumab plus trastuzumab +/‐ chemotherapy to the trastuzumab‐ emtansine treatment (second part of the study). However, patients being treated with anti‐HER2 monoclonal antibodies for metastatic disease seem to suffer from an increased risk of brain metastases, even in cases with responsive peripheral disease (Stemmler et al., 2007). Based on a retrospective review of 122 patients, at the time that brain metastases were identified, in half of patients peripheral systemic disease was either stable or responding to trastuzumab‐ based therapy. Correlation between HER2 overexpression of primary breast cancers and subsequent brain metastases is 97% (Fuchs et al., 2002). Instead, progressive CNS disease probably results from poor penetration of these monoclonal antibodies into the brain, e.g. trastuzumab is a relatively large protein with a molecular weight 148,000. Therefore it would not be expected to cross the blood‐ brain barrier. Based on that, we implemented that those patients that experience progression of brain disease or new brain lesions (of any size and any number) and present a response or stable disease in the peripheral disease can be considered (not obliged) to continue the systemic treatment they were receiving before brain disease progression (PH, PHM or T‐DM1) after the completion of local CNS treatment (radiation therapy, radiosurgery or equivalent). However, this change affected the dose interruption period that is considered acceptable in the previous version of the protocol. We expect that delays will occur for the patient to complete local CNS treatment and therefore a longer period of delay can be accepted (more than 3 weeks). However, they will need to resume on treatment three weeks at the latest after the day of completion of local treatment for brain disease.
