What is being measured

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

  1. Severity of Adverse Events

    Adverse events (AEs) grading was completed according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.03.

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  2. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event was therefore any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Pre-existing conditions which worsened during the study were also considered as adverse events.

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

Secondary outcomes (14)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs were defined as any AE that fulfilled any of the following criteria: fatal (resulted in death), life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/ birth defect, was medically significant or required intervention to prevent any of the other outcomes listed here.

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  2. Severity of SAEs as Per the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), Version 4.03

    Severity refered to the intensity of an AE (e.g., rated as mild, moderate, or severe, or according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) criteria.

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  3. Percentage of Participants With Non-Serious Adverse Events of Special Interest

    Non-serious AEs of special interest included cases of severe drug-induced liver injury and suspected transmission of an infectious agent by the study drug.

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  4. Laboratory Results Abnormalities

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  5. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation of Study Medication

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  6. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Modification of Study Medication

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  7. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Interruption of Study Medication

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  8. Exposure to Study Drug

    Exposure to study drug was the amount of study drug received over time (weeks).

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  9. Percentage of Participants With Drug-Induced Liver Injury Meeting Hy's Law Criteria

    Hy's law criteria for potential drug-induced liver injury included elevated aminotransferase enzymes (ALT/AST) with concurrent elevated serum total bilirubin, gross jaundice, clinical disability and the need for hospital care.

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  10. Percentage of Participants With Congestive Heart Failure

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  11. Change in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) as Measured by Echocardiogram

    Measured: From baseline to every three cycles of treatment up to Cycle 39 Day 1, and at the 2-days post-treatment, safety follow-up visits 1 and 3

  12. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR was based on the best (confirmed) overall response (BOR). ORR was defined as the number (%) of participants with confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) where the confirmation was performed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were first met.

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  13. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from the date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression of disease or the date of death (by any cause in the absence of progression) whichever occurred first.

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

  14. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of enrollment until the date of death due to any cause. Participants not known to have died at the time of final analysis were censored based on the last recorded date on which the subject was known to be alive.

    Measured: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Trastuzumab emtansine in people with HER2 Positive Breast Cancer, Metastatic Breast Cancer, Locally Advanced Breast Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 13 sites in India.

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 19 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 2 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in India. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 9 Feb 2021). 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?

Severity of Adverse Events (time frame: From cycle 1 up to approximately 3 years). 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 2 Apr 2021.
