Brief summary
This is a randomised, open label multicenter Phase III study comparing the efficacy of neoadjuvant lapatinib plus paclitaxel, versus trastuzumab plus paclitaxel, versus concomitant lapatinib and trastuzumab plus paclitaxel given as neoadjuvant treatment in HER2/ErbB2 over-expressing and/or amplified primary breast cancer. Patients will be randomised to receive either: lapatinib 1500 mg daily, trastuzumab 4 mg/kg intravenous (IV) load followed by 2 mg/kg IV weekly, or lapatinib 1000 mg daily with trastuzumab 4 mg/kg IV load followed by 2 mg/kg IV weekly for a total of 6 weeks. After this biological window, patients on monotherapy arms will continue on the same targeted therapy plus weekly paclitaxel 80 mg/m\^2 for a further 12 weeks, up to definitive surgery. In the combination arm, patients will receive lapatinib 750 mg daily in combination with trastuzumab 2 mg/kg IV plus weekly paclitaxel 80mg/m\^2 IV for a further 12 weeks, up to definitive surgery. After surgery, patients will receive three courses of adjuvant chemotherapy with 5-Fluorouracil Epirubicin Cyclophosphamide (FEC) followed by the same targeted therapy as in the biological window of the neoadjuvant setting for a further 34 weeks (in the combination arm, lapatinib dose will be 1000 mg daily in combination with trastuzumab). The planned total duration of the anti-HER2 therapy one year. Primary objective is to evaluate and compare the rate of pathological complete response (pCR) at the time of surgery in patients with HER2/ErbB2 overexpressing or amplified operable breast cancer randomised to lapatinib followed by lapatinib plus paclitaxel versus trastuzumab followed by trastuzumab plus paclitaxel versus lapatinib in combination with trastuzumab followed by lapatinib, trastuzumab plus paclitaxel.
Detailed description
This was a parallel group, three-arm, randomized, multicenter, open-label phase III study. The study compared the efficacy and tolerability of neoadjuvant lapatinib and paclitaxel, versus trastuzumab and paclitaxel, versus the combination of lapatinib with trastuzumab and paclitaxel given as neoadjuvant treatment in HER2/ErbB2 over-expressing and/or amplified primary breast cancer. Subjects were randomized to receive lapatinib, trastuzumab or lapatinib plus trastuzumab for a total of 6 weeks. After this biological window, subjects continued on the same targeted therapy plus weekly paclitaxel for a further 12 weeks, until definitive surgery (total neoadjuvant therapy duration of 18 weeks). Paclitaxel could be initiated at Week 4 if there is evidence of progressive disease (PD) at that time. Within 6 weeks after surgery, subjects received 3 cycles of adjuvant 5-flourouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (FEC) followed by the same targeted therapy as in the biological window of the neoadjuvant phase for a further 34 weeks (to complete 52 weeks of anti-HER2 therapy). After completing 52 weeks of (neo-)/adjuvant anti-HER2 therapy, subjects were scheduled to attend post-treatment follow-up every 3 months during the first year (months 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24), every 6months in Years 3 to 5 inclusive, and annually thereafter up to Year 10. Each subject was to be followed for 10 Years. All subjects were to be followed for EFS and OS up to 10 years from last subject randomized.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants With Pathological Complete Response (pCR) at the Time of Surgery | Weeks 20 to 22 | Pathological complete response is defined as no invasive cancer in the breast or only non-invasive in situ cancer in the breast specimen. Surgical breast and axillary node resection specimens were evaluated for pathologic tumor response according to National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) guidelines, which do not take into account the histological nodal status. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Response at the Time of Surgery | Time of surgery (Weeks 20 to 22) | The number of participants with overall response (complete response and/or partial response) was evaluated using WHO criteria by clinical examination and mammography and breast echography with bi-dimensional measurements at the time of surgery (Weeks 20 to 22). As per WHO criteria: complete response is defined as the disappearance of all lesions; partial response is defined as a greater than 50% decrease in the sum of products of the greatest length and width of the largest lesion; progressive disease is defined as a greater than 25% increase in the sum of products of all measurable lesions. |
| Number of Participants With Negative Lymph Nodes at the Time of Surgery | Time of surgery (Weeks 20 to 22) | Participants were assessed for node-negative lymph nodes at the time of surgery. As per the pathological TNM (Tumor, Node, Metastases) classification (pTNM) of malignant tumors: pN, absence or presence and extent of regional lymph node metastasis. Node-negative (pN0) participants had no regional lymph node metastasis. Although not assessed in this measure, pT is the extent of primary tumor, and pM is the absence or presence of distant metastasis. |
| Number of Participants With Actual Indicated Surgery | At surgery (Weeks 20 to 22) | Participants were assessed for the type of surgery they underwent for breast cancer. Non-conservative surgery is defined as a radical or modified radical mastectomy. Conservative surgery is comprised of a lumpectomy, a quadrantectomy/segmentectomy, or a partial mastectomy. Participants who were not assessed as being candidates for non-conservative or conservative surgery were classified as non-operable. |
| Mean Change From Baseline in Tumor Size at Week 6 and at Surgery | Week 6 and surgery (Weeks 20 to 22) | Mean change from baseline in tumor in tumor size. Change from baseline in tumor size was defined as tumor size at Week 6/ surgery (Weeks 20 to 22) minus tumor size at baseline. The difference in treatment arms was estimated for Lapatinib 1500 mg versus Trastuzumab 2 mg/kg and for Lapatinib 1000/750 mg + Trastuzumab 2 mg/kg versus Trastuzumab 2 mg/kg. |
| Number of Participants Starting Paclitaxel Before Completing 6 Weeks of Treatment With Either Lapatinib or Trastuzumab | Week 6 | Participants with progressive disease at 4 week assessment that were permitted to commence treatment with paclitaxel. |
| Event-free Survival (EFS) - Median Clinical Follow-up | From randomization up to approximately year 10 | Event free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from randomization to first EFS event. For subjects who had breast cancer surgery, EFS events were post-surgery breast cancer relapse, second primary malignancy or death without recurrence. For subjects who did not have breast cancer surgery, EFS events were death during clinical follow-up or non-completion of any neoadjuvant investigational product due to disease progression. |
| Event-free Survival (EFS) - Events and Censoring | From randomization up to approximately year 10 | Event free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from randomization to first EFS event. For subjects who had breast cancer surgery, EFS events were post-surgery breast cancer relapse, second primary malignancy or death without recurrence. For subjects who did not have breast cancer surgery, EFS events were death during clinical follow-up or non-completion of any neoadjuvant investigational product due to disease progression. |
| Overall Survival (OS) - Median Survival Follow-up | From randomization up to approximately year 10 | Overall survival is defined as the period from randomization until death (from any cause). OS was assessed annually for up to 10 years after the randomization of the last participant into the study. |
| Overall Survival (OS) - Deaths and Censoring | From randomization up to approximately year 10 | Overall survival is defined as the period from randomization until death (from any cause). OS was assessed annually for up to 10 years after the randomization of the last participant into the study. |
| Number of Participants With Overall Response at Week 6 | Week 6 | The number of participants with overall response (complete response and/or partial response) was evaluated using World Health Organization (WHO) criteria by clinical examination and by mammography and breast echography with bi-dimensional measurements at Week 6. As per WHO criteria: complete response is defined as the disappearance of all lesions; partial response is defined as a greater than 50% decrease in the sum of products of the greatest length and width of the largest lesion; progressive disease is defined as a greater than 25% increase in the sum of products of all measurable lesions. |

Assess Associations Between Locoregional Pathological Complete Response (pCR) and Event-free Survival (EFS) - Median Clinical Follow-up (EFS Landmark Population)
The landmark date is 30 weeks after a subject's randomization. Subjects with missing pCR status were not included in the landmark analysis. Clinical follow-up is the period during which the patient is monitored such that all recurrence or second primary malignancy (SPM) or contralateral breast cancer (CBC) events would be reported. Patients are considered in clinical follow-up from randomisation until one of the following occurs: lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, end of follow-up due to completion of year 10 visit, termination of study follow-up, or death.
Time frame: up to year 10
Population: For EFS, the landmark population was the subset of the ITT population who have not had an EFS event within 30 weeks after randomization and were still in clinical follow-up.
