A Study Of PF-05280014 [Trastuzumab-Pfizer] Or Herceptin® [Trastuzumab-EU] Plus Paclitaxel In HER2 Positive First Line Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment (REFLECTIONS B327-02)

The current study will compare the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of PF-05280014 in combination with paclitaxel versus trastuzumab sourced from the European Union (trastuzumab-EU) with paclitaxel in female patients with HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer in the first-line treatment setting. The hypothesis to be tested in this study is that the efficacy (ORR) of PF-05280014 is similar to trastuzumab-EU.

Treatment and study plan

PF-05280014

Biological

Concentrate for solution for infusion, sterile vial 150 mg. Initial dose of 4 mg/kg over 90 minutes (depending on tolerability) IV infusion, then 2 mg/kg over 30 to 90 minutes (depending on tolerability) IV infusion until disease progression. Following completion of the paclitaxel administration period and beginning no earlier than Week 33 of the study, the PF-05280014 regimen may be changed at the discretion of the investigator to every 3 weeks at a dose of 6 mg/kg infused over 30 to 90 minutes depending on tolerability.

Other names: Trastuzumab-Pfizer

paclitaxel

Drug

A nonaqueous solution intended for dilution with a suitable parenteral fluid prior to intravenous infusion. Paclitaxel is available in 30 mg (5 mL), 100 mg (16.7 mL), and 300 mg (50 mL) multidose vials. Each mL of sterile nonpyrogenic solution contains 6 mg paclitaxel. The starting dose of paclitaxel will be 80 mg/m^2 by IV infusion over 60 minutes (duration of infusion may be modified according to local standard of care, if applicable). Provision is made for dose reduction to 70 mg/m^2 and then 60 mg/m^2 as needed. In the absence of disease progression in the judgment of the investigator or prohibitive toxicity, patients will receive treatment with paclitaxel for at least 6 cycles or until maximal benefit of response is obtained, in the judgment of the investigator.

Herceptin®

Biological

Concentrate for solution for infusion, sterile vial 150 mg. Initial dose of 4 mg/kg over 90 minutes (depending on tolerability) IV infusion, then 2 mg/kg over 30 to 90 minutes (depending on tolerability) IV infusion weekly until disease progression. Following completion of the paclitaxel administration period and beginning no earlier than Week 33 of the study, the Herceptin® regimen may be changed at the discretion of the investigator to every 3 weeks at a dose of 6 mg/kg infused over 30 to 90 minutes depending on tolerability.

Other names: Trastuzumab (EU)

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) Derived From Central Radiology Assessments: ITT Population

    Time frame: From the date of randomization until all participants had either completed the Week 33 tumor assessment or discontinued study drug earlier than the Week 33 visit

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved complete response (CR, complete disappearance of all target lesions with the exception of nodal disease; all target nodes must have decreased to normal size [short axis <10 mm]) or partial response (PR, >=30% decrease from baseline of the sum of diameters (SOD) of all target measurable lesions; the short diameter was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions) by Week 25 of the study and confirmed on a follow-up assessment (Week 33+/-14 days), based on the assessments of the central radiology review in accordance with RECIST 1.1.

Secondary outcomes

  1. One-year Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Rate Derived From Central Radiology Assessments: ITT Population

    Time frame: From the date of randomization until 378 days post-randomization

    One-year PFS rate was analyzed based on the time from date of randomization to first documentation of progressive disease (PD), or death due to any cause in the absence of documented PD, based on the assessments of the central radiology review in accordance with RECIST 1.1. PD was defined for target disease as at least a 20% increase in sum of diameters of target measurable lesions above the smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease in the sum was observed during therapy) with a minimum absolute increase of 5 mm. For non-target disease: PD was defined as unequivocal progression of pre-existing lesions and if overall tumor burden increased sufficiently to merit discontinuation of therapy; appearance of any new unequivocal malignant lesion was also considered PD. The 95% CI for the median time to event was based on the Brookmeyer and Crowley method.

  2. Duration of Response (DOR) Per Central Radiology Assessments: ITT Population

    Time frame: From the date of randomization until 378 days post-randomization

    DOR:time from first documentation of objective response (CR or PR) to first documentation of PD/death due to any cause in absence of documented PD, based on central radiology review. As per RECIST v1.1, CR:complete disappearance of all target lesions with exception of nodal disease; all target nodes reduced in short axis <10 mm. PR: >=30% decrease from baseline of SOD of target lesions; short diameter used in sum for target nodes,longest diameter used in sum for other target lesions. PD for target disease:at least 20% increase in SOD of target lesions above smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease in sum observed) with minimum absolute increase of 5 mm. For non-target disease:unequivocal progression of pre-existing lesions and if overall tumor burden increased sufficiently to merit discontinuation of therapy; appearance of any new unequivocal malignant lesion was also considered PD. The 95% CI for median time to event was based on the Brookmeyer and Crowley method.

  3. Overall Survival: ITT Population

    Time frame: From the date of randomization until end of study (approximately 6 years)

    Overall survival was analyzed based on the time from date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. Participants last known to be alive were censored on the date of last contact. The 95% CI for the median time to event was based on the Brookmeyer and Crowley Method.

  4. Serum Peak Concentration of PF-05280014 at Selected Cycles: Pharmacokinetics (PK) Population

    Time frame: 1 hour post end of infusion on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 5

    Human PK serum samples were analyzed for concentrations of PF-05280014 using a validated, sensitive, and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

  5. Serum Peak Concentration of Trastuzumab-EU at Selected Cycles: PK Population

    Time frame: 1 hour post end of infusion on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 5

    Human PK serum samples were analyzed for concentrations of trastuzumab-EU using a validated, sensitive, and specific ELISA.

  6. Serum Trough (Pre-dose) Concentration of PF-05280014 at Selected Cycles: PK Population

    Time frame: Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 14, 17 and Day 8 of Cycles 1 and 5

    Human PK serum samples were analyzed for concentrations of PF-05280014 using a validated, sensitive, and specific ELISA.

  7. Serum Trough (Pre-dose) Concentration of Trastuzumab-EU at Selected Cycles: PK Population

    Time frame: Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 14, 17 and Day 8 of Cycles 1 and 5

    Human PK serum samples were analyzed for concentrations of trastuzumab-EU using a validated, sensitive, and specific ELISA.

  8. Number of Participants With Positive Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADA) Sample: Safety Population

    Time frame: Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17

    Two sensitive, specific, and semi-quantitative electrochemiluminescent (ECL) immunoassays, 1 for detecting antibodies against PF-05280014 and the other for detecting antibodies against trastuzumab, were used to analyze ADA samples. Serum samples were first screened for ADA. Any samples that were positive in the screening assay were further analyzed to confirm the positive result and determine the antibody titers. All samples were taken prior to dosing. The number of participants with a positive sample (titer >=1.0) is provided.

  9. Number of Participants With Positive Neutralizing Antibodies (Nab) Prior to Treatment: Safety Population

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1 (prior to treatment)

    Human serum samples testing positive for the presence of ADA (anti-PF-05280014 or anti-trastuzumab-EU) were analyzed for the presence or absence of NAb (neutralizing anti-PF-05280014 or neutralizing anti-trastuzumab-EU antibodies) following a tiered approach using screening and titer determination. The number of participants at baseline (prior to treatment) with a positive NAb sample (titer >=1.48) is provided.
