About this study

Official title: An Open Label Phase II Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of a Once Daily Oral Dose of 50 mg BIBW 2992 in Two Cohorts of Patients With HER2-negative Metastatic Breast Cancer After Failure of no More Than Two Chemotherapy Regimen

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of BIBW 2992, a dual, irreversible EGFR- and HER2-inhibitor, in two cohorts of patients with HER2-negative breast cancer after failure of no more than three regimen of prior chemotherapy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective Response (OR)

    OR is defined as complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) and was assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.0 (RECIST). OR was primary endpoint only for Cohort B.

    Measured: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

  2. Clinical Benefit (CB)

    CB was defined as CR, PR or stable disease (SD) for a minimum of 4 months (modified CB) and was assessed according to RECIST 1.0 criteria. CB was primary endpoint only for Cohort A.

    Measured: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Clinical Benefit (CB)

    CB was defined as CR, PR or stable disease (SD) for a minimum of 4 months (modified CB) and was assessed according to RECIST 1.0 criteria. CB was secondary endpoint only for Cohort B as it was primary endpoint for Cohort A.

    Measured: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

  2. Time to OR

    The time to OR was the duration from the first treatment to the time when the measurement criteria for CR and/or PR were met according to RECIST 1.0 criteria.

    Measured: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

  3. Duration of OR

    Duration of OR was measured from the time the criteria for CR or PR (whichever was documented first) were first met until the first date that progressive disease or death was objectively documented.

    Measured: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

  4. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from the first treatment to the occurrence of tumour progression or death, whichever came first. It was assessed according to RECIST 1.0 criteria as well as by the investigators assessment. Median time results from unstratified Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

  5. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as time from randomisation to death.

    Measured: From randomisation to end of follow-up.

  6. Significant Change in Cardiac Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF)

    LVEF as measured by echocardiography or Multiple Gated Acquisition (MUGA) scan. MUGA scan is an useful noninvasive tool for assessing the function of the heart. Significant change in LVEF values was defined as >=20 percent decrease from baseline or to below lower limit of normal, which was defined as 50 percent.

    Measured: Baseline and last assessment

  7. Best Change From Baseline in ECOG Performance Status

    Best change from baseline in ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status. ECOG is measured as score between 0 (fully active) and 5 (dead).

    Measured: baseline till end of treatment

  8. Pre-dose Concentration of Afatinib in Plasma at Steady State on Day 29 (Cpre,ss,29)

    Cpre,ss,29 represents the pre-dose concentration of afatinib in plasma at steady state on day 29.

    Measured: day 29

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BIBW 2992 in people with Breast Neoplasms, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 14 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Germany, Belgium. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Oct 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective Response (OR) (time frame: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Dec 2013.
