Neoadjuvant TDM1 With Lapatinib and Abraxane Compared With Trastuzumab Plus Pertuzumab With Paclitaxel

Summary

This is a randomized, open label Phase II neoadjuvant study comparing the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) plus lapatinib (L)followed by abraxane (A) versus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab followed by paclitaxel in patients with HER2-overexpressing breast cancer.

Full Description

This is a randomized, open label Phase II neoadjuvant study comparing the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) plus lapatinib (L) followed by abraxane (A) versus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab followed by paclitaxel in patients with HER2-overexpressing breast cancer. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to one of the two treatment arms: arm 1, trastuzumab emtansine plus lapatinib for 6 weeks, followed by trastuzumab emtansine plus lapatinib plus abraxane for 12 weeks; arm 2, trastuzumab plus pertuzumab for six weeks, followed by trastuzumab plus pertuzumab plus paclitaxel for 12 weeks. Patients will undergo surgery after neoadjuvant therapy. All patients will have a core needle biopsy at baseline, after week 6, and at the time of disease progression. Surgical specimens will be obtained after week 18.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Female gender;
Age ≥18 years;
Performance Status- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-1

• Cardiovascular: Baseline left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ³ ≥50% measured by echocardiography (ECHO) or Multiple Gate Acquisition (MUGA) scan,

Negative serum or urine β-hCG pregnancy test at screening for patients of childbearing potential within 2-weeks (preferably 7 days) prior to randomization.
Fertile patients must use effective contraception (barrier method - condoms, diaphragm - also in conjunction with spermicidal jelly, or total abstinence. Oral, injectable, or implant hormonal contraceptives are not allowed)
Signed informed consent form (ICF)
Patient accepts to make available tumor samples for submission to central laboratory to conduct translational studies as part of this protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

Previous (less than 5 years) or current history of malignant neoplasms, except for curatively treated: Basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; Carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
Patients with a prior malignancy diagnosed more than 5 years prior to randomization may enter the study.
Preexisting peripheral neuropathy ≥ grade 2
Known history of uncontrolled or symptomatic angina, clinically significant arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, transmural myocardial infarction, uncontrolled hypertension (≥180/110), unstable diabetes mellitus, dyspnea at rest, or chronic therapy with oxygen;
Concurrent disease or condition that would make the subject inappropriate for study participation or any serious medical disorder that would interfere with the subject's safety;
Unresolved or unstable, serious adverse events from prior administration of another investigational drug;
Dementia, altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition that would prevent the understanding or rendering of ICF;
Malabsorption syndrome, disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function, or resection of the stomach or small bowel. Subjects with ulcerative colitis are also excluded;
Concurrent neoadjuvant cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy other than the trial therapies);
Concurrent treatment with an investigational agent or participation in another therapeutic clinical trial;
Known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to drugs chemically related to trastuzumab Emtansine, trastuzumab, lapatinib, paclitaxel, abraxane or their components;
Pregnant or lactating women;
Concomitant use of CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers
Other concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concomitant medical conditions (e.g. active or uncontrolled infection, uncontrolled diabetes) that could cause unacceptable safety risks or compromise compliance with the protocol
Patients have an active infection and require IV or oral antibiotics.
Pregnant or breast-feeding women
Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol
