About this study

Official title: Clinical Outcomes on ErbB2+ MBC Patients Treated With Lapatinib-Capecitabine After Trastuzumab Progression: Role of Early Versus Late Switch to Lapatinib-Capecitabine (TYCO)

It will be conducted as an international multicenter prospective observational cohort study in a population of ErbB2 positive metastatic breast cancer patients, whose disease has progressed after trastuzumab-containing regimen, comparing outcomes in two groups: Group 1: patients receiving Lapatinib-capecitabine immediately after 1st Trastuzumab progression (second line treatment), and Group 2: patients receiving Lapatinib-capecitabine after 2 or more lines of treatment after 1st trastuzumab progression (third line or greater).

Read the detailed description

Lapatinib in combination with capecitabine is a standard of care treatment for ErbB2+ metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients who have progressed after anthracyclines, taxanes and trastuzumab treatment. Results from the lapatinib pivotal trial showed that the addition of lapatinib to capecitabine increased median time to progression (TTP) even among heavily pre-treated patients (median of 4 prior lines of therapy). A recent ad hoc subset analysis of this trial suggested that earlier administration of lapatinib-capecitabine in MBC patients who progress after trastuzumab may produce better clinical outcomes. The TYCO study was designed to evaluate if early switch to lapatinib-capecitabine in patients with ErbB2+ MBC who have progressed on trastuzumab-containing regimen improves TTP in comparison with a later start (after several lines of therapy). Secondary objectives include Overall Response Rate (ORR), 1 year Overall Survival (OS), and description of reported serious adverse events. This is an international, multicenter, prospective, observational (non-interventional) study in 269 ErbB2+MBC patients whose disease has progressed after treatment with trastuzumab. Two cohorts will be compared; Group 1: patients receiving lapatinib-capecitabine immediately after first trastuzumab progression, and Group 2: patients receiving lapatinib-capecitabine after two or more lines of treatment after first trastuzumab progression. Eligibility criteria include females aged 18 or more with confirmed ErbB2+ MBC who have progressed after a previous trastuzumab-containing regimen, eligible to start standard therapy with lapatinib-capecitabine at approved conventional doses, as per local label approval. The study duration is of 12 months with data collection at baseline and approximately every 3 months thereafter. Patient evaluations will be conducted per standard patient care in each center and TTP will be determined by the treating physician (clinically or radiologically). Enrollment started in February 2010 and completion of accrual is estimated for December 2011.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to disease progression

    the time from the date of start of Lapatinib capecitabine treatment until date of documented disease progression by the treating physician

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Response Rate

    the percentage of patients showing complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) to the given treatment.

    Measured: One year

  2. Overall survival

    the time from the start of lapatinib capecitabine treatment until death due to any cause

    Measured: measured at the end of follow-up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cancer, run by Novartis at 10 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?

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 28 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Colombia, Saudi Arabia. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Time to disease progression (time frame: One year). 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 28 Mar 2016.
