Brief Summary

In HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, trastuzumab based treatment is the standard of care as long as there are no contraindications to trastuzumab. Frequently, trastuzumab is being combined with taxanes in the first-line setting. However, since therapy with trastuzumab is active even in the absence of chemotherapy in HER2-positive MBC, the optimal treatment strategy either in combination or in sequence with chemotherapy is still under debate. This randomized phase II trial is studying a new strategy for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer with HER2-positive. First-line treatment consists of trastuzumab and pertuzumab, a treatment without chemotherapy. In case of disease progression, chemotherapy with T-DM1 is then performed as second-line treatment. Third-line and further line therapies are performed according to the physician's discretion. If this new therapeutic strategy is as effective and better tolerated than the conventional strategy, this would mean a serious breakthrough in the treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

-To evaluate the efficacy in terms of overall survival (OS) at 24 months of a chemotherapy-free dual HER2-inhibition with trastuzumab and pertuzumab (first-line) followed by T-DM1 (second-line) and of a chemotherapy-containing dual HER2-inhibition with trastuzumab and pertuzumab (first-line) followed by T-DM1 (second-line) in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.

Secondary

* To evaluate other efficacy parameter

* To evaluate the safety and tolerability profile of the two treatment strategies

* To evaluate the Quality of Life (QoL)

* To learn how patients are treated after trial treatment

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to hormone receptor status (positive vs negative), prior trastuzumab (never or \>12 months vs ≤12 months after last infusion), visceral metastases (present vs absent) and site. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survival (OS) - Analysis Population: ITT Population 124 months

Patients being alive 24 months after randomization. A success is considered if a patient is alive at least 24 months after randomization. Analysis Population: ITT Population 1

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
OS - Analysis Population: ITT Population 224 months

Proportion of patients being alive 24 months after randomization. A success is considered if a patient is alive at least 24 months after randomization. Analysis Population: ITT Population 2

Progression Free Survival (PFS) of first-line treatment ignoring first Central Nervous System (CNS) lesion10 / 16 months (PFS will be calculated sustained from randomization until documented PD (ignoring first CNS lesion) or death, whichever occurs first during first-line treatment )

PFS of first-line treatment ignoring first CNS lesion is the time from randomization to first event progression. A PFS of first-line treatment ignoring first CNS lesion event is defined as (whichever occurs first):

* Disease progression (PD) after having received first-line treatment and prior to the next treatment

* Death due to any reason Patients without events will be censored at last tumor assessment date without PFS ignoring first CNS lesion event during the first-line treatment period or prior to starting new treatment.

Analysis population: ITT Population 1

PFS of second-line treatment ignoring first CNS lesion9 months (PFS will be calculated sustained from registration of second line treatment until documented PD (ignoring first CNS lesion) or death, whichever occurs first during second-line treatment)

PFS of second-line treatment ignoring first CNS lesion is the time from registration of second-line treatment to the first event occurs. A PFS of second-line treatment ignoring first CNS lesion event is defined as (whichever occurs first):

* Disease progression after having received second-line treatment and prior to the next treatment

* Death due any reason during the second-line treatment period Patients without events will be censored at last tumor assessment date without PFS ignoring first CNS lesion event during the second-line treatment period or prior to starting new treatment.

Analysis Population: ITT Population 2

DC of second-line treatment (based on investigator assessment)6 months (DC is defined as the response CR, PR or SD for 6 months after registration of second-line treatment)
AEs grade ≥2 until first progression (ignoring first CNS lesion)Throughout first-line treatment (estimated up to 16 months)

Adverse events are assessed by Common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) v4.0. From randomization until first progression (documented PD, PD CNS or death)

PFS of second-line treatment8 months (PFS will be calculated sustained from registration of second line treatment until documented PD, PD CNS or death, whichever occurs first during second-line treatment)

PFS of second-line treatment is the time from registration of second-line treatment to progression. A PFS event of second-line treatment is defined as (whichever occurs first):

* Disease progression after having received second-line treatment and prior to the next treatment

* PD CNS after having received first-line treatment and prior to the next treatment

* Death due any reason during the second-line treatment period Patients without events will be censored at last tumor assessment date without PD and PD CNS during the second-line treatment period or prior to starting new treatment.

Analysis Population: ITT Population 2

Time to failure of strategy (TFS) of first- plus second-line treatment18 / 24 months (TFS will be calculated sustained from randomization until documented PD, PD CNS or death, whichever occurs first before starting third-line therapy )

TFS of first plus second-line treatment is the time from randomization to TFS event occurs. A TFS event of first plus second-line treatment is defined as (whichever occurs first):

* Disease progression after having received the first and second-line treatment and prior to the next treatment

* PD CNS after having received first- and second-line treatment and prior to the next treatment

* Death due to tumor prior to the third-line treatment Patients without events will be censored at last tumor assessment without PD and PD CNS during first and second-line treatment period or prior to starting new treatment.

Analysis Population: ITT Population 1

OR of second-line treatment (based on investigator assessment)9 months (OR is defined as the best status of response CR or PR after registration for second-line treatment up to second progression or start of a new treatment)

Adverse events are assessed by the NCI CTCAE v4.0. from registration until registration of second-line treatment or start of follow-up (which occurs first).

Overall survival OSOS will be calculated from randomization until death (estimated median: 32 months)

OS will be calculated from randomization until death. Patients still alive or lost of follow up are censored at their last date known alive.
