Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability as well as find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for HKI-272. In addition, this study will examine the effects of the study drug on your tumor, and how your body uses and eliminates HKI-272.

Intervention model description

This trial was an open-label, phase 1, ascending single and multiple oral dose study of HKI-272 administered to subjects with erbB-2- or erbB-1-positive tumors. Each subject participated in only 1 dose group and received a single dose of test article, followed by a 1-week observation period, and then received the test article administered once daily by mouth for up to 6 months (6 cycles). Daily dose administration could continue beyond 6 cycles at the same dose level if HKI-272 was well tolerated and there was no evidence of progressive disease.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)From first dose date to day 14DLT is defined as any neratinib-related nonhematologic grade 3 or any grade 4 adverse event (AE) according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) common terminology criteria (CTC) for AEs version 3.0. DLTs were assessed from the first single dose to 14 days of continuous daily administration.
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)From first dose date to day 14If 2 or more, of 3 to 6 subjects, at a dose level had an neratinib-related dose limiting toxicity (DLT) by day 14 of continuous daily dose administration, dose escalation stopped and the prior dose level was considered the MTD.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free SurvivalFrom first dose date to progression or death, up to 39 weeks.Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
Number of Participants With Best Overall ResponseFrom first dose date to progression or last tumor assessment, up to 39 weeks.Best Overall response by tumor type, evaluable population per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria v1.0 for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions in reference to baseline sum of LD of target lesions; Progressive Disease (PD), \>=20% increase in sum of LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of recorded LD of target lesions since treatment started or appearance of 1 or more new lesions; Stable disease (SD), Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum of LD of target lesions since the treatment start. The best overall response was the best response recorded from start of treatment until PD/recurrence. In general, the subject's best response assignment depended on achievement of both measurement and confirmation criteria.

DLT is defined as any neratinib-related nonhematologic grade 3 or any grade 4 adverse event (AE) according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) common terminology criteria (CTC) for AEs version 3.0. DLTs were assessed from the first single dose to 14 days of continuous daily administration.

Time frame: From first dose date to day 14

Population: Subjects in the dosing groups 40 mg through 400 mg, excluding the selection of MTD.
