Overview

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, open label Phase II neoadjuvant study comparing the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) plus lapatinib (L)followed by abraxane (A) versus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab followed by paclitaxel in patients with HER2-overexpressing breast cancer.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, open label Phase II neoadjuvant study comparing the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) plus lapatinib (L) followed by abraxane (A) versus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab followed by paclitaxel in patients with HER2-overexpressing breast cancer. Patients will be randomized (1:1) to one of the two treatment arms: arm 1, trastuzumab emtansine plus lapatinib for 6 weeks, followed by trastuzumab emtansine plus lapatinib plus abraxane for 12 weeks; arm 2, trastuzumab plus pertuzumab for six weeks, followed by trastuzumab plus pertuzumab plus paclitaxel for 12 weeks. Patients will undergo surgery after neoadjuvant therapy. All patients will have a core needle biopsy at baseline, after week 6, and at the time of disease progression. Surgical specimens will be obtained after week 18.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Female gender;
  • Age ≥18 years;
  • Performance Status- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0-1
  • Histologically confirmed invasive breast cancer:
  • Primary tumor greater than 1 cm diameter, measured by clinical examination and mammography or ultrasound.
  • No evidence of metastasis (M0) (isolated supra-clavicular node involvement allowed);
  • Over expression and/or amplification of HER2 in the invasive component of the primary tumor and confirmed by a certified laboratory prior to randomization.
  • Known hormone receptor status.
  • Hematopoietic status:
  • CBC not less than .75 of institutional lower limit. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,5 x 10\^9/L, Platelet count ≥ 100 x 10\^9/L, Hemoglobin at least 9 g/dl,

Exclusion Criteria

  • Previous (less than 5 years) or current history of malignant neoplasms, except for curatively treated: Basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; Carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
  • Patients with a prior malignancy diagnosed more than 5 years prior to randomization may enter the study.
  • Preexisting peripheral neuropathy ≥ grade 2
  • Known history of uncontrolled or symptomatic angina, clinically significant arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, transmural myocardial infarction, uncontrolled hypertension (≥180/110), unstable diabetes mellitus, dyspnea at rest, or chronic therapy with oxygen;
  • Concurrent disease or condition that would make the subject inappropriate for study participation or any serious medical disorder that would interfere with the subject's safety;
  • Unresolved or unstable, serious adverse events from prior administration of another investigational drug;
  • Dementia, altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition that would prevent the understanding or rendering of ICF;
  • Malabsorption syndrome, disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function, or resection of the stomach or small bowel. Subjects with ulcerative colitis are also excluded;
  • Concurrent neoadjuvant cancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy other than the trial therapies);
  • Concurrent treatment with an investigational agent or participation in another therapeutic clinical trial;

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Pathological Complete Response (pCR) RCB-0 or RCB-1

Time Frame: From date of randomization until the date of surgery, approximately 16 weeks

To evaluate the pathological complete response (pCR) in the breast after treatment with Trastuzumab Emtansine plus Lapatinib follow by Abraxane in women with HER2 Neu over-expressed breast cancer patients per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.", or similar definition that is accurate and appropriate. Residual cancer burden (RCB)-0 was synonymous with pCR, indicating no residual disease present.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Breast Imaging Response to Treatment: Number of Eventual Responders in Standard Arm(From date of randomization until 6 weeks post treatment)
