Purpose
A study to compare the safety and efficacy of an aromatase inhibitor in combination with
lapatinib, trastuzumab or both for the treatment of hormone receptor positive, HER2+
metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
Detailed Description
This was a Phase III, randomized, open-label, multi-center, three arm study of lapatinib plus
trastuzumab plus an aromatase inhibitor (AI), trastuzumab plus an AI, or lapatinib plus an AI
to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these regimens as first- or second-line therapy in
postmenopausal subjects with hormone receptor positive (HR+), HER2-positive metastatic breast
cancer (MBC) who have received prior trastuzumab and endocrine therapies. Eligible subjects
was postmenopausal; had tumors that are ER and/or PgR positive and HER2-positive; had Stage
IV metastatic breast cancer. The primary objective was to demonstrate superiority of
lapatinib/trastuzumab/AI combination versus (vs.) trastuzumab/AI combination for progression
free survival. The secondary objectives were to evaluate progression free survival in
trastuzumab/AI vs. lapatinib/AI and trastuzumab/lapatinib/AI vs. lapatinib/AI, overall
survival, overall response rate, clinical benefit rate, the safety and tolerability of all
three treatment groups (lapatinib plus trastuzumab plus an AI, trastuzumab plus an AI, or
lapatinib plus an AI), and quality of life status relative to baseline.

Description: | Progression free survival (PFS) of lapatinib/trastuzumab/aromatase inhibitor (AI) combination vs. trastuzumab/AI combination. PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the earliest date of disease progression (with radiological evidence) or death from any cause, or to the date of censor. |
Secondary Outcome Measures

Time Frame: | approximately 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | PFS in the lapatinib arm vs. the trastuzumab arm and in the lapatinib+trastuzumab arm vs. the lapatinib arm. |
Measure: | Overall Survival (OS) Events of Lapatinib+Trastuzumab+AI vs. Trastuzumab+AI and Lapatinib+AI vs. Trastuzumab+AI |
Time Frame: | approximately 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | OS was defined as the interval of time (in weeks) between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. For subjects who did not die during the study, death was censored at the date of last contact. |
Measure: | Overall Response Rate (ORR; Complete or Partial Response) in Lapatinib+Trastuzumab+AI vs. Trastuzumab+AI and Lapatinib+AI vs. Trastuzumab+AI |
Time Frame: | approximately 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | The best overall response was the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence & was determined programmatically using investigators assessment of responses of target lesion, non-target lesion and new lesions based on RECIST v1.1. CR=disappearance of all target lesion & non-target lesions, if applicable, and no new lesion; PR = ≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions & non-target lesion was neither non-CR nor progressive disease (Non-PD) or not evaluable (NE); stable disease (SD) = Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD (SD should maintain for at least 56 days); PD = ≥20% increase from nadir (smallest sum diameters recorded since treatment start) of the target lesions and/or any status for non-target lesions or appearance of new lesion; NE = cannot be classified by the above definitions. Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR. |
Measure: | Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR; Complete Response, Partial Response, or Stable Disease for at Least 6 Months) in Lapatinib+Trastuzumab+AI vs. Trastuzumab+AI and Lapatinib+AI vs. Trastuzumab+AI |
Time Frame: | approximately 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) was defined as the percentage of patients with evidence of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) at any time or maintaining SD for at least 24 weeks while on study, according to the investigator assessment of response per RECIST 1.1 criteria. |
Measure: | Duration of Response in Lapatinib+Trastuzumab+AI vs. Trastuzumab+AI and Lapatinib+AI vs. Trastuzumab+AI |
Time Frame: | approximately 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Kaplan-Meier estimates for duration of response in lapatinib+trastuzumab+AI vs. trastuzumab+AI and lapatinib+AI vs. trastuzumab+AI. Duration of response is defined as the time from first documented Complete Response or Partial Response until the first documented sign of Progressive Disease or Death, or to the date of censor. |
Measure: | Changes in the Quality of Life (QoL) Status Relative to Baseline FACT-B Overall and Subscale Scores at Last On-treatment Assessment |
Time Frame: | approximately 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Quality of life was assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) questionnaire. It is a 37-item (27 general questions and 10 breast cancer specific questions) self-reporting instrument consisting of 5 dimensions: physical well-being (PWB), social well-being (SWB), emotional well-being (EWB), functional well-being (FWB), and a breast cancer subscale (BCS). The followings are the score ranges for each self-reporting subscale: • PWB : 0-28 • SWB : 0-28 • EWB : 0-24 • FWB : 0-28 • BCS : 0-40 FACT-B Total Outcome Index (TOI) = PWB + FWB + BCS (range:0 - 96) FACT-B Total Score = PWB + SWB + EWB + FWB + BCS (range:0-148) FACT-G Total Score = PWB + SWB + EWB + FWB (range:0-108) In the scoring system, negative stated items are reversed by subtracting the response from "4" and after reversing proper items, all subscale items are summed to a total, which is the subscale score. For all the FACIT scales and symptom indices, the higher the score the better cut off |
Measure: | Time to Response in Lapatinib+Trastuzumab+AI vs. Trastuzumab+AI and Lapatinib+AI vs. Trastuzumab+AI |
Time Frame: | approximately 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
