What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) within the first 2 cycles (6 weeks) of treatment were assessed. DLTs are treatment-related adverse events defined as:

    • Neutropenia Grade (Gr) 4 >7 days
    • Febrile neutropenia, defined as absolute neutrophil count <1000/mm3 with a single temperature of >38.3 degrees C (101 degrees F) or a sustained temperature of ≥38 degrees C (100.4 degrees F) for >1 hour
    • Neutropenic infection ≥Gr 3
    • Thrombocytopenia ≥Gr 4, or with bleeding Gr 3
    • Non-laboratory toxicities ≥Gr 3, except nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea recovering to <Gr 2 within 48 hours.
    • Laboratory abnormalities [other than aspartate aminotransferase / alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT)] ≥Gr 3, if:
    • Medical intervention required
    • Hospitalization required, or
    • >24 hours
    • AST \& ALT Gr 4, or >3×ULN
    • Total bilirubin >2×ULN, with no elevation of alkaline phosphatase The outcome is reported as the number of DLTs observed per group, a number with dispersion.

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Objective Tumor Response (ORR)

    Objective tumor response (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 was assessed after 4 cycles (3 months) of treatment. RECIST v1.1 was assessed on target lesions as:

    • Complete Response (CR): Complete disappearance of all lesions with the exception of nodal disease. All target lymph nodes must decrease to normal size (short axis < 10 mm).
    • Partial Response (PR): ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of all measurable lesions.
    • Progressive Disease (PD): Increase in lesion size ≥ 5 mm and ≥ 20% increase in the sum of diameters of measurable lesions.
    • Stable Disease (SD): All lesions assessed, but not CR, PR, or PD.

    Per protocol, the outcome is reported for participants in Cohort 2B (ado-trastuzumab emtansine + utomilumab) as the number of participants with the indicated clinical response, a number without dispersion.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Time-to-tumor Response (TTR)

    Time-to-tumor response (TTR) was assessed per RECIST v1.1, in participants who have at least 1 on-study tumor assessment \& respond within 4 cycles (3 months). RECIST v1.1 was assessed as:

    • Complete Response (CR): Complete disappearance of target lesions with the exception of nodal disease. All target nodes must decrease to normal size (short axis < 10 mm).
    • Partial Response (PR): ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions.

    By definition, TTR an assessment of the tumor response, meaning a CR or a PR.

    Per protocol, the outcome is reported as the median with full range for participants in Cohort 2B (ado-trastuzumab emtansine + utomilumab) achieving a clinical response within 4 cycles (3 months).

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Duration of Response (DoR)

    Duration of response (DoR) was assessed in participants who have 1+ on-study tumor assessment(s) and have a clinical response, through up to 5 years after treatment. RECIST v1.1 was assessed as:

    • Complete Response (CR): Complete disappearance of target lesions with the exception of nodal disease. Target nodes must decrease to normal size (short axis < 10 mm).
    • Partial Response (PR): ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions.
    • Progression Disease (PD): Increase in lesion size ≥ 5 mm and ≥ 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions.
    • Stable Disease (SD): Target lesions assessed, but not CR, PR, or PD.

    By definition, DoR is an assessment of tumor response, meaning the participants achieved a CR or a PR.

    Per protocol, the outcome is reported as the median with full range for participants in Cohort 2B (ado-trastuzumab emtansine + utomilumab) achieving a clinical response within 5 years (260 weeks).

    Measured: up to 260 weeks

  4. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival (PFS) means the participants remained alive without disease progression (DP). DP was defined per RECIST v1.1 as an increase in lesion size ≥ 5 mm or ≥ 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target measurable lesions. The outcome is reported as the median time that participants survived without DP, with full range.

    Measured: 128 weeks

  5. Adverse Events by Severity Grade 1 to 5

    Adverse events while receiving treatment and within 30 days were assessed by treatment group for severity (as graded by NCI CTCAE v5). The outcome is reported by treatment group as the numbers of adverse events by treatment group, numbers without dispersion.

    Measured: Up to 128 weeks

  6. Adverse Event Relationship to Study Drugs

    Adverse events while receiving treatment and within 30 days were assessed by treatment group for relationship to the study treatments. The outcome is reported as the numbers of related adverse events by treatment group, numbers without dispersion.

    Measured: Up to 128 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Utomilumab, Trastuzumab and Ado-Trastuzumab Emtansine in people with HER2 Positive Breast Carcinoma and Recurrent Breast Carcinoma, run by George W. Sledge Jr. at 1 site in United States.

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 16 inclusion and 25 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 19 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 19 Oct 2022). 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?

Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 19 Oct 2022.
