Multicenter Clinical Trial in subjects with HER2-negative primary tumors. The subjects will be evaluated for the presence of HER2 positive Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in blood. In case of at least one HER2-positive CTC in blood, the subject will be randomized to receive either (nabTM)-paclitaxel + trastuzumab (ARM A) or (nabTM)-paclitaxel (ARM B).

A phase II randomized, open-label study evaluating the addition of trastuzumab to (nabTM)-paclitaxel as first line treatment in primary HER2 negative metastatic breast cancer patients with HER2 positive Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs). - Trastuzumab and (nabTM)-paclitaxel as first line MBC in HER2+ve CTC with primary HER2-ve.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine the overall Clinical Benefit (CB) of the two regimens (nab-paclitaxel plus trastuzumab (ARM A) versus nab-paclitaxel alone (ARM B)) among evaluable patients.;Secondary Objective: To determine the prognostic and predictive significance of HER2-positive CTC. To evaluate additional measures of tumor control to further characterize the efficacy of the nab-paclitaxel plus trastuzumab vs. nab-paclitaxel. ;Primary end point(s): The evaluation of the overall CB among evaluable patients.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 weeks after treatment initiation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): •To evaluate the early response based on CTCs variations as a predictor of patients’ outcome; •To validate the prognostic significance of HER2+ve CTCs in patients with primary HER2-ve MBC; •To obtain RNA from EpCAM+ve CTC isolated from MBC patients using the Veridex® Profile kit for pharmacodynamic evaluation (HER2-neu, PI3K, PTEN, pAKT, mTOR). •To determine HER2 expression, proliferation index in fine needle aspirate (FNA) biopsies (optional). •To evaluate the prognostic and predictive role of circulating HER2 and EGFR. •To evaluate the Progression Free Survival. •To evaluate the Overall Survival. •To determine patient’s tolerability and safety of the treatment. •To evaluate the Quality of Life. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 24 months from the end of last treatment of LSI.
