Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate Herceptin treatment for 1 year and 2 years (versus observation/no Herceptin) in women with HER2-overexpressing primary breast cancer who have completed (neo-)adjuvant systemic chemotherapy, definitive surgery, and radiotherapy, if applicable. Efficacy and safety will be assessed for 10 years from randomization for each participant.

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details
    Pre-assignment Detail After the release of initial study results, participants in the Observation Arm without disease recurrence were given the opportunity to cross over to receive 1 or 2 years of adjuvant Herceptin. Efficacy analyses were still performed according to original randomization.
    Arm/Group Title Observation Arm Herceptin 1-Year Arm Herceptin 2-Year Arm
    Arm/Group Description Participants who completed definitive surgery and systemic adjuvant chemotherapy were observed for efficacy and safety until 10 years from individual randomization and for survival until 10 years after enrollment of the last participant. No Herceptin was provided. Participants who completed definitive surgery and systemic adjuvant chemotherapy received a loading dose of Herceptin as 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) via intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1, followed by a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg via IV infusion 3 weeks later and thereafter every 3 weeks for 1 year or until disease recurrence, whichever occurred first. Participants were observed for efficacy and safety until 10 years from individual randomization and for survival until 10 years after enrollment of the last participant. Participants who completed definitive surgery and systemic adjuvant chemotherapy received a loading dose of Herceptin as 8 mg/kg via IV infusion on Day 1, followed by a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg via IV infusion 3 weeks later and thereafter every 3 weeks for 2 years or until disease recurrence, whichever occurred first. Participants were observed for efficacy and safety until 10 years from individual randomization and for survival until 10 years after enrollment of the last participant.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants With Disease-Free Survival (DFS) Events in Herceptin 1-Year Arm Compared to Observation: 1-Year Median Follow-Up
    Description DFS events included loco-regional or distant recurrence of breast cancer, development of contralateral breast cancer or second non-breast malignancy other than basal or squamous carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or death from any cause. The percentage of participants with at least one DFS event was reported. The analysis of the Herceptin 1-Year Arm against the Observation Arm after 1-year median follow-up, as reported below, was performed by the Sponsor in 2006 following database cleaning. The analysis of the Herceptin 2-Year Arm against the Observation Arm was performed for an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) in 2005 at a time the Sponsor was blinded. Therefore, these data are reported under a separate Outcome Measure.

    3. Primary Outcome
    Title DFS Rate According to Kaplan-Meier Analysis in Herceptin 1-Year Arm Compared to Observation: 1-Year Median Follow-Up
    Description DFS events included loco-regional or distant recurrence of breast cancer, development of contralateral breast cancer or second non-breast malignancy other than basal or squamous carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or death from any cause. The percentage of participants free of DFS events (i.e., the DFS rate) and corresponding 95 percent (%) confidence interval (CI) were estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis based on available data at the time of the 1-year median follow-up analysis. The analysis of the Herceptin 1-Year Arm against the Observation Arm after 1-year median follow-up, as reported below, was performed by the Sponsor in 2006 following database cleaning. The analysis of the Herceptin 2-Year Arm against the Observation Arm was performed for an IDMC in 2005 at a time the Sponsor was blinded. Therefore, these data are reported under a separate Outcome Measure.

    Description DFS events included loco-regional or distant recurrence of breast cancer, development of contralateral breast cancer or second non-breast malignancy other than basal or squamous carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or death from any cause. The percentage of participants free of DFS events (i.e., the DFS rate) and corresponding 95% CI were estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis based on available data at the time of the final analysis with a 10-year maximum follow-up for DFS events.

Definite cardiac death included CHF, myocardial infarction, or primary arrhythmia. Probable cardiac death included unexpected sudden death within 24 hours of a cardiac event (syncope, cardiac arrest, chest pain, infarction, arrhythmia) without documented etiology. The percentage of participants with at least one primary cardiac endpoint event was reported. The 95% CI was calculated by the Pearson-Clopper method for a one-sample binomial.

A significant LVEF drop was defined as an absolute reduction of at least 10 percentage points from Baseline and to a value <50%. The percentage of participants with at least one secondary cardiac endpoint event was reported, excluding those with both a primary and secondary cardiac endpoint event.

    Arm/Group Title Observation Arm Herceptin 1-Year Arm Herceptin 2-Year Arm
    Arm/Group Description Participants who completed definitive surgery and systemic adjuvant chemotherapy were observed for efficacy and safety until 10 years from individual randomization and for survival until 10 years after enrollment of the last participant. No Herceptin was provided. After the release of initial study results, participants in the Observation Arm were allowed to cross over to receive adjuvant Herceptin prior to disease recurrence. As such, adverse events that occurred after crossover were not included in the safety analyses for this arm. Participants who completed definitive surgery and systemic adjuvant chemotherapy received a loading dose of Herceptin as 8 mg/kg via IV infusion on Day 1, followed by a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg via IV infusion 3 weeks later and thereafter every 3 weeks for 1 year or until disease recurrence, whichever occurred first. Participants were observed for efficacy and safety until 10 years from individual randomization and for survival until 10 years after enrollment of the last participant. Participants who completed definitive surgery and systemic adjuvant chemotherapy received a loading dose of Herceptin as 8 mg/kg via IV infusion on Day 1, followed by a maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg via IV infusion 3 weeks later and thereafter every 3 weeks for 2 years or until disease recurrence, whichever occurred first. Participants were observed for efficacy and safety until 10 years from individual randomization and for survival until 10 years after enrollment of the last participant.
