1303GCC: Trastuzmab & Pertuzumab With Hormonal Therapy or Chemotherapy in Women Aged 60 and Over.

Phase 2

Terminated

• Conditions: Metastatic Breast Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: Trastuzumab plus Pertuzumab; Drug: Hormonal Therapy with Anastrozole and Fulvestrant; Drug: Chemotherapy with Eribulin

• Registration Number: NCT02000596
• Lead Sponsor: University of Maryland, Baltimore

Brief Summary

This is a phase II study that combines Trastuzumab with Pertuzumab to see how it works in women age greater than 60 who have been diagnosed with HER2/neu overexpressed locally advanced and/or metastatic breast carcinoma.

Detailed Description

Currently available standard therapies for HER2 overexpressed metastatic breast cancers (MBC) include treatments with chemotherapy or hormonal therapy, alone or in combination with medications that target HER2 gene, such as Trastuzumab or Pertuzumab. This study will examine the effect of treating HER2 overexpressed MBC with the combination of Trastuzumab plus Pertuzumab, without hormonal or chemotherapy, as a first line treatment. If patients progress on this treatment, they will receive hormonal or chemotherapy in addition to the Trastuzumab plus Pertuzumab treatment. The objective is to see how the overall response rate for this treatment compares to other first line treatments in the same patient population.

4. Up to 3 prior chemo regimens for treatment of metastatic disease are allowed as long as the study subject is acceptable for study treatment with chemo required on this study in cohort 2 at progression on T+P.
5. Patients may have had prior hormonal therapy with any hormonal agents as per section 3.1.5 of this protocol.
6. Zometa or denosumab can be continued as per standard of care as long as started before the study treatment is started.
7. HER2 positive breast cancer, as defined in Section 3.3 of this protocol
8. Must have measurable or evaluable disease according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.
9. Lab values obtained ≤7 days prior to registration as indicated in 3.1.9 of this protocol.

12. Life expectancy >3 months.
13. Written informed consent.
14. Willingness to return to study site for treatment and follow-up.
15. Normal QTc interval defined on EKG as QTc ≤ 440 msec.
16. Postmenopausal women defined in section 3.1.16 of this protocol.

4. History of coronary heart failure (CHF)
5. Current use of drugs known to prolong the QTc interval including Class Ia and III antiarrhythmics or history of congenital long QTc syndrome.
6. Evidence of active brain metastasis including leptomeningeal involvement.
7. Major surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal or immunologic therapy ≤3 weeks prior to registration.
8. Radiotherapy ≤3 weeks prior to registration, except if to a non-target lesion only.
9. Prior treatment with Pertuzumab, Eribulin, Fulvestrant or Anastrozole.
10. Uncontrolled illness.
11. Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease. See section 3.2.11.
