A Study to Evaluate Patient Preference and Satisfaction of Subcutaneous Administration of the Fixed-Dose Combination of Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab in Participants With HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer

NCT03674112

Description:

This is a Phase II, randomized, multicentre, multinational, open-label, cross-over study in adult patients who have completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy with neoadjuvant pertuzumab and trastuzumab and have undergone surgical treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer. The study will consist of two adjuvant treatment periods: a treatment cross-over period and a treatment continuation period. It will evaluate participant-reported preference for a subcutaneously administered fixed-dose combination formulation (FDC SC) of pertuzumab and trastuzumab compared with intravenously (IV) administered pertuzumab and trastuzumab formulations. The study will also evaluate participant-reported satisfaction with pertuzumab and trastuzumab FDC SC and health-related quality of life outcomes; healthcare professionals' perceptions of time/resource use and convenience of pertuzumab and trastuzumab FDC SC compared with pertuzumab and trastuzumab IV formulations; as well as the safety and efficacy of each study regimen.

A: Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab - IV Followed by FDC SCExperimentalIn the Treatment Cross-Over Period of the study, participants randomized to Arm A will first receive pertuzumab IV and trastuzumab IV for 3 treatment cycles followed by pertuzumab and trastuzumab FDC SC for 3 treatment cycles (1 cycle = 21 days). Following completion of this study period, participants will choose one of the two study treatments to receive in the Treatment Continuation Period for the remaining anti-HER2 treatment cycles (18 planned cycles in total, including pre-study neoadjuvant treatment).

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

        Disease-specific criteria:

          -  Female or male with histologically confirmed, HER2-positive (HER2+) inflammatory,
             locally advanced or early-stage breast cancer who have received neoadjuvant pertuzumab
             and trastuzumab and have completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy and subsequently undergone
             surgery for their breast cancer.

          -  HER2+ breast cancer assessed at the local laboratory prior to initiation of
             neoadjuvant therapy. HER2+ status must be determined based on breast biopsy material
             obtained prior to neoadjuvant treatment and is defined as 3+ by immunohistochemistry
             (IHC) and/or positive by HER2 amplification by in situ hybridization (ISH) with a
             ratio of ≥2 for the number of HER2 gene copies to the number of chromosome 17 copies.

          -  Hormone receptor status of the primary tumour determined by local assessment. Hormone
             receptor status may be either positive or negative.

          -  Completed all neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery. Adjuvant radiotherapy may be
             planned or ongoing at study entry and adjuvant hormone therapy is allowed during the
             study. Note that study treatment cannot be initiated within <2 weeks of surgery but
             must be initiated ≤9 weeks from the last administration of systemic neoadjuvant
             therapy.

          -  No evidence of residual, locally recurrent or metastatic disease after completion of
             surgery. Patients with clinical suspicion of metastases must undergo radiological
             assessments per institutional practice to rule out distant disease.

          -  Wound healing after breast cancer surgery adequate per investigator's assessment to
             allow initiation of study treatment within ≤9 weeks of last systemic neoadjuvant

             year, or two effective non-hormonal contraceptive methods during the study treatment
             periods and for 7 months after the last dose of study treatment

          -  For men: agreement to remain abstinent or use a condom, and agreement to refrain from
             donating sperm, men must remain abstinent or use a condom during the study treatment
             periods and for seven months after the last dose of study treatment to avoid exposing
             the embryo. Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period
