E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare the overall survival (OS) of patients treated with
trastuzumab emtansine with the regimen from Stage 1 of the study
selected at the interim analysis to the OS of patients treated with
physician's choice of taxane (docetaxel or paclitaxel) in patients with
HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer (AGC), defined as unresectable
and locally advanced or metastatic GC, including adenocarcinoma of the
GEJ. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• Objective response rate (ORR)
• Progression-free survival (PFS)
• Duration of response (DOR)
• Characterization of clinical safety
• Assessment of Quality of Life
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Adult patients, aged >/= 18 years.
• ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
• Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks from the first dose of study
treatment.
• Measurable and/or evaluable disease based on Response Evaluation
Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1).
• Adequate organ function as determined by the following laboratory
results, within 28 days prior to randomization.
• Patients must have a history of advanced gastric cancer (AGC), defined as unresectable and locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer,
including adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), and
must have experienced disease progression during or after first-line
therapy for their disease.
• HER2-positive tumor (primary tumor or metastatic lesion) as
confirmed by central laboratory HER2 testing (immunohistochemistry
and/or in-situ hybridization).
• Patients must have received at least one prior chemotherapy regimen
for AGC; prior therapy does not need to have included HER2-directed
therapy.
• First-line therapy for AGC, including adenocarcinoma of the GEJ, must
have included a combination of at least a platinum- and a
fluoropyrimidine-based treatment given concurrently; prior therapy does
not need to have included a HER2-directed therapy.
• Adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy for AGC is allowed.
• Women of childbearing potential and men with partners of
childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective, nonhormonal
form of contraception or two effective forms of contraception
by the patient and/or partner and continue its use for the duration of
study treatment and for 7 months after the last dose of study treatment.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• An interval shorter than 21 days from the last dose of chemotherapy or
HER2-directed therapy until the time of randomization.
• Prior treatment with trastuzumab emtansine, docetaxel, or paclitaxel
either as single agents or as part of a treatment regimen.
• Treatment with any investigational anticancer drug within 21 days of
the first study treatment administration.
• More than one prior line of therapy for advanced gastric cancer.
• History of other malignancy within the previous 5 years except for
appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin
carcinoma, Stage I uterine cancer, or other malignancies with an
expected curative outcome.
• Brain metastases that are untreated or symptomatic or require any
radiation, surgery, or steroid therapy to control symptoms from brain
metastases within 1 month of randomization.
• Peripheral neuropathy Grade >/=2.
• Uncontrolled cardiopulmonary dysfunction (e.g., high blood pressure,
serious cardiac arrhythmia).
• Other current, severe, uncontrolled systemic disease (e.g., clinically
significant metabolic disease, wound healing disorders, ulcers).
• Clinically significant bleeding within 30 days before enrollment.
• For female patients, current pregnancy or lactation.
• Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 28 days
prior to randomization or anticipation of the need for major surgery
during the course of study treatment.
• Infection with HIV or hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus. |
