Phase 3

Terminated

• Conditions: Neoplasms, Breast; BRCA2 Gene Mutation; Carcinoma of Breast; Human Epidermal Growth Factor 2 Negative Carcinoma of Breast; BRCA1 Gene Mutation; Ovarian Neoplasms
• Interventions: Drug: Physician's choice; Drug: niraparib

• Registration Number: NCT01905592
• Lead Sponsor: Tesaro, Inc.

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with advanced/metastatic breast cancer who have a BRCA mutation when treated with niraparib as compared to those treated with physician's choice

Detailed Description

This is a phase III, randomized, open label, multicenter, controlled trial of niraparib versus physician's choice in previously-treated, HER2 negative, germline BRCA mutation-positive breast cancer patients. Niraparib is an orally active PARP inhibitor. Niraparib (in a 2:1 ratio) will be administered once daily continuously during a 21-day cycle. Physician's choice will be administered on a 21-day cycle. Health-related quality of life will be measured. The safety and tolerability will be assessed by clinical review of adverse events (AEs), physical examinations, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and safety laboratory values.

Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: TERMINATED
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 216

Inclusion Criteria

1. Germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation; patients with unknown BRCA status who meet NCCN BRCA screening criteria will be screened for BRCA mutation.

2. Histologically or cytologically confirmed HER2-negative metastatic or locally advanced disease that is not amenable to resection or radiation with curative intent.

3. Up to 2 prior cytotoxic regimens for advanced or metastatic breast cancer; patients with no prior cytotoxic regimens for advanced or metastatic disease will only be allowed if they relapsed during or within 12 months of (neo-) adjuvant cytotoxic therapy.

4. Prior therapy should have included a taxane and/or anthracycline (unless contraindication to those) in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or advanced/metastatic setting.

   a. Hormone receptor positive patients must also have hormone resistant disease; either relapsed while on adjuvant endocrine treatment, or within one year of completing adjuvant endocrine treatment, or progression on at least one line of endocrine treatment for advanced cancer.

5. ECOG performance status 0-2

6. Adequate bone marrow, kidney and liver function

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Physician's choice	Physician's choice	Physician may select from 4 active comparators
niraparib	niraparib	Patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive niraparib 300 mg (3x100 mg capsules) once daily for 21 continuous days

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Progression Free Survival (PFS) - Central Review Assessment	From the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs earlier, up to 4 years	The primary objective of this study is to compare progression-free survival (PFS), as assessed by blinded central review, of participants with advanced/metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative gBRCA mutation breast cancer when treated with niraparib as compared to those treated with physician's choice single agent chemotherapy standards (eribulin, vinorelbine, gemcitabine or capecitabine). PFS is defined as the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs earlier as per Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 as determined by central review assessment. Progressive Disease is defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of diameters of measured lesions taking as references the smallest sum of diameters recorded on study (including Baseline) and an absolute increase of \>= 5 millimeter (mm).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall Survival	From treatment randomization to date of death of any cause, up to 4 years	Overall Survival (OS) was defined as the time from randomization to the date of death of any causes.
Number of Participants With Central BRCA Mutation Status	At Baseline (Cycle 1 Day1) (Cycle duration was 21 days)	Blood samples were collected to evaluate central BRCA mutation status of participants. Baseline was defined as the most recent non-missing measurement prior to or on the first administration of study drug. Number of participants with central BRCA mutation status as BRCA1 positive only, BRCA2 positive only, Rearrangement only, BRCA1 and BRCA2 positive, BRCA1 positive and rearrangement, and BRCA2 positive and rearrangement were reported.
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAE) and Non-serious Adverse Events (Non-SAE)	Up to 7 years	An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence that occurs in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product, and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence or effect in a participant, whether or not considered related to the protocol treatment, at any dose that results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing participant hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is an medically important event or reaction as per medical and scientific judgment. Adverse events which were not serious adverse events were considered as non serious adverse events.
Progression Free Survival (PFS) - Investigator Assessment	Assessed up to 4 years	PFS is defined as the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs earlier as per RECIST version 1.1 as determined by Investigator assessment. Progressive Disease is defined as at least a 20 % increase in the sum of diameters of measured lesions taking as references the smallest sum of diameters recorded on study (including Baseline) and an absolute increase of \>= 5 mm.
Time to Treatment Failure	Date of randomization to discontinuation of treatment for any reason, up to 4 years	Time to treatment failure was defined from the date of randomization to progression or discontinuation of treatment for any reason, including but not restricted to disease progression, treatment toxicity and death.
Overall Response Rate (ORR)	Up to 4 years	ORR was defined as the percentage of the participants who achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to treatment evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor markers. Pathological lymph nodes must have short axis measures \<10 mm. Partial Response (PR)= at least a 30% decrease in the sum of measures (longest diameter for tumor lesions and short axis measure for nodes) of target lesions, taking as reference the Baseline sum of diameters. Percentage values are rounded off up to 1 decimal.
Duration of Response (DOR)	Up to 4 years	Duration of response was defined as the time from first documentation of response (confirmed CR or PR) until the time of first documentation of disease progression by RECIST v1.1 or death by any cause.
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events Related to New Malignancy	Up to 7 years	The number of participants with serious adverse events related to new malignancy were reported.
Number of Participants With Subsequent Anticancer Therapies	Up to 7 years	The number of participants with subsequent anticancer therapies were evaluated. Data has been reported as per following categories: any new anitumoral therapy, any chemotherapy, any radiotherapy, any surgery, any hormonal therapy, any targeted agents, and any other treatment. Participants may have received more than one subsequent therapies.
