Conditions
Breast Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04873362
Lead Sponsor
Hoffmann-La Roche
Brief Summary

This is a Phase III, two-arm, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled study in participants with HER2-positive primary breast cancer who have received preoperative chemotherapy and HER2-directed therapy, including trastuzumab followed by surgery, with a finding of residual invasive disease in the breast and/or axillary lymph nodes.

As of June 4, 2024, this study is no longer accepting any newly screened participants.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Invasive Disease-free Survival (IDFS) in the Full Analysis Set (FAS)From baseline until the first occurrence of iDFS event or death, through primary analysis data cut off (approximately 7 years)

IDFS event is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of the following events: ipsilateral invasive breast tumor recurrence, ipsilateral local-regional invasive breast cancer recurrence, contralateral invasive breast cancer, distant recurrence, death from any cause.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
IDFS Including Second Primary Non-breast Invasive CancerFrom baseline until the first occurrence of iDFS event or death, through the end of study (approximately 10 years from last participant in [LPI])
IDFS in the PD-L1-positive and the PD-L1-negative PopulationFrom baseline until the first occurrence of iDFS event or death, through the end of study (approximately 10 years from LPI)

Defined as all randomized participants from the ITT population with a centrally assessed PD-L1-positive \[i.e., PD-L1 status of IC1/2/3\] or PD-L1-negative status \[i.e.,PD-L1 status of IC0\] at randomization as per corresponding stratification factors recorded in the interactive web-based response system (IWRS).

Disease-free Survival (DFS)From baseline until the first occurrence of DFS event or death, through the end of study (approximately 10 years from LPI)
Overall Survival (OS)From baseline to death from any cause through the end of study (approximately 10 years from LPI)
Distant Recurrence-free Interval (DRFI)From baseline until distant disease recurrence, through the end of study (approximately 10 years from LPI)
Number of Participants with Clinically Meaningful Deterioration in Global Health Status/Quality of Life (GHS/QoL) Physical, Role, and Cognitive FunctionFrom baseline until 2 years after study treatment completion/discontinuation visit (approximately 3 years)

Clinically Meaningful Deterioration will be Measured by Scales of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire for Cancer (EORTC QLQ C30)

Mean Absolute Scores in GHS/QoL, Physical, Role, and Cognitive Function, as Assessed Using the EORTC QLQ-C30From baseline until 2 years after study treatment completion/discontinuation visit (approximately 3 years)

The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life-Core 30 Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) is a self-reported measure. Functioning and symptoms items are scored on a 4-point scale: 1=Not at all, 2=A little, 3=Quite a bit, 4=Very much. GHS and QoL items are scored on a 7-point scale: 1=Very poor, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7=Excellent. Scores will be transformed to a range of 0 to 100, with higher scores (i.e. closer to 100) reflecting better functioning, better GHS/QoL, and worse symptoms.
