Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of abemaciclib plus trastuzumab plus fulvestrant and abemaciclib plus trastuzumab to standard-of-care single-agent chemotherapy of physician’s choice plus trastuzumab with respect to progression free survival (PFS). ;Secondary Objective: To review overall survival, objective response rate, duration of response, disease control rate, clinical benefit rate, safety and tolerability of abemaciclib, treatment impact on pain, disease symptoms and overall quality of life, pharmacokinetics of abemaciclib and relationship between abeamciclib, trastuzumab and fulvestrant exposure and clinical outcomes;Primary end point(s): Progression-free survival (PFS);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: One planned primary analysis for PFS performed after 165 events have been observed. Within 28 days of randomization, baseline tumor assessment will be performed for each patient. Repeat scans will be done every 6 weeks for 36 weeks from first dose of therapy, then every 9 weeks and within 14 days of clinical progression.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): OS rate, ORR, DoR, disease control., clinical benefit rate, safety and tolerability, impact on pain, disease symptom;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Up to a total of 2 interim analysis and a final analysis for OS may be performed if PFS is significant for both abemaciclib arms. Health outcome scales are administered day 1 of each cycle.
