About this study

Official title: Study of Trastuzumab Combined With Capecitabine on HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients Pretreated With Trastuzumab and Taxanes or HER2- Positive Breast Cancer Patients Relapsed From (Neo)Adjuvant Therapy of Trastuzumab and Taxanes

This single arm. open-label study will assess the efficacy and safety of Herceptin (trastuzumab) in combination with Xeloda (capecitabine) in patients with metastatic or recurrent HER2-positive breast cancer, refractory to or relapsing after chemotherapy with Herceptin and taxanes. Patients will receive Xeloda 900mg/m2 twice daily orally on days 1-14 of each 3-week cycle and Herceptin 8mg/kg intravenously (iv) on day 1 of the first cycle followed by 6mg/kg iv every 3 weeks. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Overall Response

    The tumor response was measured according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria (Version 1.1).

    Measured: Baseline and Day 1 of Cycles 4 and 8 and every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or Death

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time to Disease Progression

    Tumor response was evaluated according to RECIST criteria (version 1.1). Progressive Disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Time to progression is the time from the date of first dose of drug administration to the date when first disease progression is recorded.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 1 of Cycles 4 and 8 and every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or Death

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival (OS) is the time from the date of randomization to the date of death irrespective of the cause of death.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 1 of Cycles 4 and 8 and every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or Death

  3. Progression-Free Survival

    Tumor response was evaluated according to RECIST criteria (version 1.1). Progressive Disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Participants without progression were censored at the date of last tumor assessment when non progression was documented.

    Measured: Baseline and Day 1 of Cycles 4 and 8 and every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or Death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing capecitabine [Xeloda] and trastuzumab [Herceptin] in people with Breast Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 6 sites in Taiwan.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Taiwan. 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 17 Dec 2014). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Overall Response (time frame: Baseline and Day 1 of Cycles 4 and 8 and every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicity or Death). 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 17 Dec 2014.
