Metastatic Breast Cancer

Brief summary

This is a Phase III, randomized, multicenter, multinational, two-arm, open-label clinical trial to investigate a first-line treatment of participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer. The study will enroll patients with HER2-positive, unresectable, locally advanced breast cancer (BC) if they have recurrent disease or progressive disease (PD) despite primary multi-modality therapy, and/or metastatic BC if they have not received prior chemotherapy for their metastatic disease. Eligible participants at up to approximately 40 sites in the Asia-Pacific region will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive trastuzumab emtansine (Arm A) or trastuzumab plus docetaxel (Arm B). All study drugs will be administered at in-clinic visits occurring every three weeks during the treatment phase. Trastuzumab plus docetaxel was chosen as the comparator in the control group (Arm B), as it represents a common first-line treatment option used in this patient population in China and other Asia-Pacific countries.

Interventions

DRUGTrastuzumab

For the first three-week cycle, trastuzumab was administered IV at 8 mg/kg. For subsequent cycles, trastuzumab was administered IV at 6 mg/kg Q3W.

DRUGTrastuzumab Emtansine

Trastuzumab emtansine 3.6 milligrams/kilogram (mg/kg) was administered intravenously (IV) over 30-90 minutes Q3W.

DRUGDocetaxel

Docetaxel was administered IV at either 75 milligrams/square meter (mg/m\^2) or 100 mg/m\^2 Q3W.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)At time of clinical data cut-off (up to 20 months)PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first, on the basis of investigator assessments. Progression was defined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions with an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeter (mm) or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
Safety: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)At time of clinical data cut-off (up to 20 months)An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.
Safety: Percentage of Participants With Grade 3 and 4 AEsAt time of clinical data cut-off (up to 20 months)Grade 3 and 4 AEs were evaluated according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v4.0. Grade 3 was defined as severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing and undressing, feeding self, using the toilet, taking medications, and not bedridden. Grade 4 was defined as life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated.
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Treatment DiscontinuationAt time of clinical data cut-off (up to 20 months)
Safety: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Treatment InterruptionAt time of clinical data cut-off (up to 20 months)
Safety: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Dose ReductionAt time of clinical data cut-off (up to 20 months)
Safety: Percentage of Participants With Significant Decline in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF)At time of clinical data cut-off (up to 20 months)Significant decline in LVEF was defined as LVEF below 50% and decrease from baseline of 15% points or more. Echocardiogram or multiple-gated acquisition (MUGA) scan was used to assess LVEF.

Secondary

Pharmacokinetics: Serum Concentrations of Study Medications

Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were to be determined in a subset of participants. PK samples from the first 100 Chinese participants were planned to be collected.

Time frame: Day 1, Cycle 1 (Day 1), Day 1, Cycle 2 (Day 22), Day 1, Cycle 4 (Day 64) and at study drug completion or discontinuation visit (up to 20 months)

Population: No PK analyses were performed as no participants were enrolled from China and no samples were collected.
