Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tucatinib in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine in participants with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer who have had prior treatment with taxane anti-cancer agent, trastuzumab, pertuzumab and trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). The primary hypothesis is that the confirmed objective response rate (cORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) as determined by independent central review (ICR) for the combination of tucatinib, trastuzumab and capecitabine, is greater than 20%.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Tucatinib + Trastuzumab + Capecitabine

Participants will receive tucatinib plus trastuzumab plus capecitabine. Tucatinib 300 mg will be administered orally twice daily (BID). Trastuzumab 8 mg/kg loading dose followed by 6 mg/kg maintenance dose thereafter, will be administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. Capecitabine 1000 mg/m^2 will be administered orally BID on Days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle. Tucatinib, trastuzumab and capecitabine treatment will continue until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent or study closure.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Confirmed Objective Response Rate (cORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), as Determined by Independent Central Review (ICR) [Up to ~21 months]

      cORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a confirmed Complete Response (CR: disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters) per RECIST v1.1. The percentage of participants who experience a confirmed CR or PR as determined by ICR based on RECIST v1.1 will be presented.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. cORR per RECIST v1.1, as Determined by Investigator Assessment (INV) [Up to ~92 months]

      cORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a confirmed CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or a PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters) per RECIST v1.1. The percentage of participants who experience a confirmed CR or PR as determined by INV based on RECIST v1.1 will be presented.

    2. Duration of Response (DOR) per RECIST v1.1, as Determined by ICR [Up to ~92 months]

      For participants who demonstrate a confirmed CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or confirmed PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters) per RECIST v1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST v1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also have demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The DOR as determined by ICR based on RECIST v1.1 will be presented.

    3. DOR per RECIST v1.1, as Determined by INV [Up to ~92 months]

      For participants who demonstrate a confirmed CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or confirmed PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters) per RECIST v1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST v1.1, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also have demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The DOR as determined by INV based on RECIST v1.1 will be presented.

    4. Progression-free Survival (PFS) per RECIST v1.1, as Determined by ICR [Up to ~92 months]

      PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST v1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS as determined by ICR based on RECIST v1.1 will be presented.

    5. PFS per RECIST v1.1, as Determined by INV [Up to ~92 months]

      PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST v1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS as determined by INV based on RECIST v1.1 will be presented.

    6. Overall Survival (OS) [Up to ~92 months]

      OS is defined as the time from start of study treatment to death due to any cause.

    7. Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs) [Up to ~92 months]

      An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The number of participants who experience one or more AEs will be presented.

    8. Number of Participants who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE [Up to ~92 months]

      An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE will be presented.
