Breast Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a Phase III, two-arm, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study in participants with HER2-positive primary breast cancer who have received preoperative chemotherapy and HER2-directed therapy, including trastuzumab followed by surgery, with a finding of residual invasive disease in the breast and/or axillary lymph nodes. As of June 4, 2024, this study is no longer accepting any newly screened participants.
Interventions
Atezolizumab will be administered at a dose of 1200 mg every three weeks (Q3W) for 14 cycles.
Trastuzumab emtansine will be administered at a dose of 3.6 mg/kg Q3W for 14 weeks.
Placebo matched to atezolizumab will be administered at a dose of 1200 mg Q3W for 14 cycles.
Trastuzumab will be used to complete 14 cycles of study treatment if trastuzumab emtansine is discontinued for toxicity not considered to be related to the trastuzumab component of the drug.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Invasive Disease-free Survival (IDFS) in the Full Analysis Set (FAS) | From baseline until the first occurrence of iDFS event or death, through primary analysis data cut off (approximately 7 years) | IDFS event is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of the following events: ipsilateral invasive breast tumor recurrence, ipsilateral local-regional invasive breast cancer recurrence, contralateral invasive breast cancer, distant recurrence, death from any cause. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IDFS Including Second Primary Non-breast Invasive Cancer | From baseline until the first occurrence of iDFS event or death, through the end of study (approximately 10 years from last participant in [LPI]) | — |
| IDFS in the PD-L1-positive and the PD-L1-negative Population | From baseline until the first occurrence of iDFS event or death, through the end of study (approximately 10 years from LPI) | Defined as all randomized participants from the ITT population with a centrally assessed PD-L1-positive \[i.e., PD-L1 status of IC1/2/3\] or PD-L1-negative status \[i.e.,PD-L1 status of IC0\] at randomization as per corresponding stratification factors recorded in the interactive web-based response system (IWRS). |
| Disease-free Survival (DFS) | From baseline until the first occurrence of DFS event or death, through the end of study (approximately 10 years from LPI) | — |
| Overall Survival (OS) | From baseline to death from any cause through the end of study (approximately 10 years from LPI) | — |
| Distant Recurrence-free Interval (DRFI) | From baseline until distant disease recurrence, through the end of study (approximately 10 years from LPI) | — |
| Number of Participants with Clinically Meaningful Deterioration in Global Health Status/Quality of Life (GHS/QoL) Physical, Role, and Cognitive Function | From baseline until 2 years after study treatment completion/discontinuation visit (approximately 3 years) | Clinically Meaningful Deterioration will be Measured by Scales of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire for Cancer (EORTC QLQ C30) |
| Mean Absolute Scores in GHS/QoL, Physical, Role, and Cognitive Function, as Assessed Using the EORTC QLQ-C30 | From baseline until 2 years after study treatment completion/discontinuation visit (approximately 3 years) | The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life-Core 30 Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) is a self-reported measure. Functioning and symptoms items are scored on a 4-point scale: 1=Not at all, 2=A little, 3=Quite a bit, 4=Very much. GHS and QoL items are scored on a 7-point scale: 1=Very poor, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7=Excellent. Scores will be transformed to a range of 0 to 100, with higher scores (i.e. closer to 100) reflecting better functioning, better GHS/QoL, and worse symptoms. |
