Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that SYD985 \[(vic-)trastuzumab duocarmazine\] is superior to physician's choice in prolonging progression free survival.

Detailed description

This study is designed as a randomized, active-controlled, superiority study in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. The patients should have had either progression during or after at least two HER2-targeting treatment regimens for locally advanced or metastatic disease or progression during or after (ado-)trastuzumab emtansine treatment. Eligible patients will be randomly assigned (2:1) to receive SYD985 or physician's choice treatment until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or study termination by the Sponsor. During treatment, patients will have to visit the clinical site to assess efficacy, quality of life (QoL), and safety using standardized criteria.

Progression Free Survival

Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documented disease progression by central assessment according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurred earlier.

Time frame: baseline until primary analysis data cut-off date of 31March2021

Population: Full-analysis set (FAS) was used for this primary endpoint analysis. FAS comprises all randomized patients, which were analyzed according to the treatment group and strata they have been assigned to during the randomization procedure.

Comparison: A stratified Cox regression analysis was used to estimate the hazard ratio of PFS, along with 95% CIs. Stratification factors assigned at randomization were world region (Europe, Singapore, and North America), number of prior treatment lines for locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (excluding hormone therapy) (1 to 2, \>2), and prior treatment with pertuzumab (yes, no).p-value: =0.00295% CI: [0.4885, 0.8389]Log Rank

Patient Reported Outcomes for Health Related Quality of Life

Change in the global health status/Quality of Life (QoL) scale score of the European Organization for Research and Treatment for Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 from baseline (cycle 1). The raw score (1 to 7) has been transformed to a score ranging from 0 to 100. A higher score means a better outcome: hence a positive change from baseline means an improvement in global health status/Quality of Life and a negative change from baseline means a worsening of global health status/Quality of Life.

Population: Full-analysis set (FAS) was used for the overall survival analysis. FAS comprises all randomized patients, which were analyzed according to the treatment group and strata they have been assigned to during the randomization procedure.
