Phase 1

Completed

Conditions: Metastatic Breast Cancer

Interventions: Drug: trastuzumab-MCC-DM1

Registration Number: NCT00932373

Lead Sponsor: Genentech, Inc.

Brief Summary: This is a phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of single-agent trastuzumab-MCC-DM1 administered by intravenous (IV) infusion in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who have previously received trastuzumab.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Patients With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)	A minimum of 21 days after first dose of trastuzumab-MCC-DM1	DLT is defined as one of the following as per investigator related to study drug: * Grade ≥ 3 non-hematologic, non-hepatic major organ toxicity * Grade ≥ 3 cardiac toxicity, including cardiac troponin I elevation or any new segmental wall abnormality as determined by non-invasive cardiac imaging * Grade ≥ 4 thrombocytopenia * Grade ≥ 4 neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count \< 500/μ L) lasting \> 4 days or accompanied by fever * Grade ≥ 4 anemia * Grade ≥ 3 serum bilirubin, hepatic transaminase (alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase), or alkaline phosphatase For patients with Grade 2 hepatic transaminase or alkaline phosphatase levels at baseline as a result of liver metastases or bone metastases, a hepatic transaminase or alkaline phosphatase level ≥ 10 times the upper limit of normal will be considered a DLT. * Weekly cohorts only: Toxicity preventing retreatment on Cycle 1, Day 8 or toxicity preventing re-treatment on Cycle 1, Days 15 and Day 22
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)	A minimum of 21 days after first dose of trastuzumab-MCC-DM1	The highest dose level resulting in a DLT in ≤ 1 of 6 patients was declared the MTD.
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AE), Serious Adverse Events (SAE), AEs With Grade >=3, and AEs Related To Treatment	Study treatment initiation until 30 or 90 days after last administration of study treatment	The time frame for AEs is study treatment initiation until 30 days after last administration of study treatment or at the time of initiation of another anti-cancer therapy, which ever occurs first. The time frame for SAEs is study treatment initiation until 90 days after last administration of study treatment or at the time of initiation of another anti-cancer therapy, which ever occurs first.
PK Parameters After the First Dose: Terminal Half-life (t½) for T-DM1 Concentrations	3-Week and Weekly Cohorts: Cycle 1 Day 1 Pre-dose 30 minutes and 4 hours after the end of infusion; Cycle 1 Day 2, 3, 4, 8 (Pre-dose 30 minutes after the end of infusion) 11, 15 (Pre-dose 30 minutes after the end of infusion) and 18	Terminal phase elimination half-life (T1/2) is the time required for half of the drug to be eliminated from the plasma.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameters After the First Dose: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration Cmax for T-DM1 Concentrations	3-Week and Weekly Cohorts: Cycle 1 Day 1 Pre-dose 30 minutes and 4 hours after the end of infusion; Cycle 1 Day 2, 3, 4, 8 (Pre-dose 30 minutes after the end of infusion) 11, 15 (Pre-dose 30 minutes after the end of infusion) and 18
PK Parameters After the First Dose: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From 0 to Infinity (AUC[0-∞] for T-DM1 Concentrations	3-Week and Weekly Cohorts: Cycle 1 Day 1 Pre-dose 30 minutes and 4 hours after the end of infusion; Cycle 1 Day 2, 3, 4, 8 (Pre-dose 30 minutes after the end of infusion) 11, 15 (Pre-dose 30 minutes after the end of infusion) and 18

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response	Baseline to the end of the study (up to 3 years 2 months)	The occurrence of an objective response was determined by the investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). An objective response was defined as a complete response or a partial response as determined on 2 consecutive occasions ≥ 4 weeks apart. A complete response was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions or the disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. A partial response was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.
Duration of Objective Response	Baseline to the end of the study (up to 3 years 2 months)	Duration of objective response was defined as the time from the initial response to disease progression or death from any cause within 30 days of the last dose of trastuzumab emtansine.
Progression-free Survival	Baseline to the end of the study (up to 3 years 2 months)	Progression-free survival was defined as the time from first dose of trastuzumab emtansine to documented disease progression or death from any cause within 30 days of the last dose of trastuzumab emtansine, whichever occurred earlier. Progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter of target lesions recorded since treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
Percentage of Participants With Anti-therapeutic Antibodies to Trastuzumab Emtansine	Baseline to the end of the study (up to 3 years 2 months)	After the start of trastuzumab emtansine treatment, serum samples were collected every 3 weeks prior to trastuzumab emtansine dosing for detection of anti-therapeutic antibodies using a validated assay. A bridging antibody electrochemiluminescence assay (ECLA) was used to detect antibodies to trastuzumab emtansine. The assay utilized trastuzumab emtansine conjugated to biotin and a ruthenium label to form a complex with anti-trastuzumab emtansine antibodies. The antibody complex was captured by streptavidin-coated paramagnetic beads.
