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   44043   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7319   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
    The main objectives of the trial were to compare the total pathological Complete Response (tpCR) rate (ypT0/is, ypN0) and safety among chemotherapy, Trastuzumab (TCH) + Pertuzumab (P) (Arm A) and Trastuzumab Emtansine (T-DM1) + P (Arm B).

    Percentage of Participants With tpCR Assessed Based on Tumor Samples
    End point description
    tpCR was assessed by local pathology review on samples taken at surgery following completion of neoadjuvant therapy. tpCR was defined as the absence of any residual invasive cancer on hematoxylin and eosin evaluation of the resected breast specimen and all sampled ipsilateral lymph nodes (that is [i.e.], ypT0/is, ypN0 in the American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] staging system, 7th edition). Percentage of participants with tpCR was reported. Intent-to-treat (ITT) population comprised all randomized participants, whether or not they received any study treatment or completed a full course of study treatment. Participants were analyzed according to their randomized treatment.

    Percentage of Participants by Response for Skin Problem Single Items
    End point description
    Participants answered the Question 1 “Did itching skin bother you?” and Question 2 “Have you had skin problems?”, from the mQLQ-BR23, on a 4-point scale (1 ‘Not at all’, 2 ‘a little’, 3 ‘quite a bit’ 4 ‘Very much’). Percentage of participants by each response was reported. ITT population. Participants were analyzed according to their randomized treatment. Number of participants analyzed = participants evaluable for this outcome measure. Here ‘n’ signifies number of participants evaluable for specified categories. Percentage values are based on ITT N.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    21 Sep 2014
    - Surgery was to be performed no later than 6 weeks after the last dose of neoadjuvant treatment instead of no later than 9 weeks. - The inclusion criterion was updated to clarify that participants with multifocal tumors must have had all discrete tumors sampled and centrally confirmed as Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-positive. - Exclusion criteria were updated to clarify the eligibility of participants with prior breast in situ cancers (lobular carcinoma in situ, ductal carcinoma in situ) and participants who have received prior local and/or systemic therapies for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer. - Language was added to allow for the use of hematopoietic growth factors for primary prophylaxis as per National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)/European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) guidelines at the investigator’s discretion for patients in the TCH + P arm, and to allow for the use hematopoietic growth factors for secondary prophylaxis for participants in either treatment arm. - For participants in the T-DM1 + P arm who receive optional adjuvant chemotherapy, language was included to prohibit treatment with trastuzumab in conjunction with anthracyclines. - Language was added to clarify that any participant diagnosed with drug related interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis must discontinue treatment with trastuzumab emtansine.
    06 Jul 2015
    - To ensure integrity of the benefit-risk assessment in light of evolving data, language regarding the optional adjuvant chemotherapy for participants in the T-DM1 + P arm was updated from stating that adjuvant chemotherapy was allowed, to recommending adjuvant chemotherapy for participants in the T-DM1 + P arm. Clarification was added regarding participants for whom chemotherapy was recommended, including participants who did not achieve tpCR, and had residual tumor less than (>) 1 centimeter (cm) and/or had residual nodal disease. - Language was updated to recommend the use of hematopoietic growth factors for primary prophylaxis for participants in the TCH + P. - An interim evaluation of total pCR rates by the independent Data Monitoring Committee (iDMC) was specified to be performed to further ensure maintenance of a favorable benefit-risk profile. - Language regarding patient-reported outcomes (PROs) was updated to further specify key treatment-related symptoms and the treatment impact for participants with early breast cancer (EBC).
