A Multiple-Dose Study of RhuMab 2C4 and Docetaxel in the Treatment of Advanced Solid Tumors
- Registration Number
- NCT02490475
- Lead Sponsor
- Hoffmann-La Roche
- Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of the combination of rhuMab 2C4 (Perjeta) and docetaxel (Taxotere) in participants with advanced solid tumors that have progressed during or after standard therapy, or for which no standard therapy is available. Participants will be enrolled and evaluated for dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in escalating-dose cohorts in order to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Docetaxel in Combination of Pertuzumab Cycle 1 Up to Day 15 A prior dose level was defined as an MTD if at a certain dose level, there were greater than or equal to (≥) 2 out of 6 participants who had Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs). If there were no DLTs or DLTs were seen in less than (\<) 2 participants in the highest dose level, that was considered as MTD. Participants received escalating doses of docetaxel and pertuzumab until DLTs were observed. DLTs were defined as any of the following: 1) Any non-hematological toxicity ≥ Grade 3 according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 except for fever, chills and flu-like symptoms, in spite of adequate toxicity management, 2) Grade 4 neutropenia lasting greater than (\>) 7 days, 3) Febrile neutropenia, 4) Thrombocytopenia Grade 4 or any thrombocytopenia requiring platelet transfusion or 5) Any subjectively intolerable toxicity felt by the investigator to be related to either one of the compounds.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Area Under the Concentration Curve From Time Zero to the Last Visit (AUC [0-last]) for Pertuzumab in Combination With Docetaxel Cycle1: Day 2 Pre-dose and 15 minutes, 1.5, 4 and 8 hours Post-dose, and Days 3, 6, 9 and 16; Cycle 2: Day 1 Pre-dose and 15 minutes Post-dose on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 The area under the plot of plasma concentration of drug against time after drug administration is defined as the area under the curve (AUC). The AUC0-last is calculated from time 0 (prior to administration of medication) to last measured data point. The AUC is of particular use in estimating the bioavailability of drugs, by measuring the extent of absorption. AUC is measured as micrograms times days per milliliter (μg\*day/mL).
Mean Residence Time (MRT) of Pertuzumab Cycle1: Day 2 Pre-dose and 15 minutes, 1.5, 4 and 8 hours Post-dose, and Days 3, 6, 9 and 16; Cycle 2: Day 1 Pre-dose and 15 minutes Post-dose on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 MRT is the average time that pertuzumab is present in the systemic circulation and is measured in days.
Percentage of Participants With Decrease in Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) by Category of Decrease and Timepoint Baseline, Weeks 7(Cycle 2), 13 (Cycle 4) and Final Visit Up to Week 22 Ejection fraction (EF) is the fraction of outbound blood pumped from the heart with each heartbeat. It is commonly measured by echocardiogram and serves as a general measure of a person's cardiac function. Changes in LVEF were assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 criteria. The decrease in LVEF has been categorized as follows: A) Increase, no change, decrease from baseline less than (\<) 10%; B) Absolute value \<50% and decrease from baseline greater than or equal to (≥) 10%; C) Absolute value \<50% and decrease from baseline≥15% ; D) Other. If participants withdrew due to insufficient therapeutic response or death and had no tumor measurements at the final visit, they were counted under progressive disease for final visit.
