Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Cohort 1: SC (SID) then IV Herceptin

Participants will receive Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles. During Cycles 1 to 4 of the crossover period, SC Herceptin will be administered via single-use injection device (SID), and during Cycles 5 to 8, IV Herceptin will be given. In the continuation period, participants will receive IV Herceptin for up to 10 remaining cycles. Administration will be performed by HCP. Those with at least 2 treatment cycles remaining of the 18-cycle treatment course after the crossover period will be offered the opportunity to self-administer SC Herceptin via SID under the direction of a trained HCP.

Drug: Herceptin
Herceptin will be given on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for a total of 18 cycles. If study treatment for Cycle 1 is IV Herceptin, the initial dose will be a loading dose of 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) for de novo participants who start Herceptin treatment in the study. For all other cycles where IV Herceptin is given and for non-de novo participants, the dose will be 6 mg/kg. The SC dose will be 600 milligrams (mg) for both the SID and vial formulations for all cycles where SC Herceptin is given.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants by Preferred Method of Drug Administration [Week 24]

      The preferred method of drug administration (IV or SC Herceptin) was assessed in trial-specific telephone interviews with each study participant. Participants were asked, "All things considered, which method of administration did you prefer?" at the end of the crossover period (Week 24). The percentage of participants who preferred each method of drug administration was reported.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of HCPs by Most Satisfied Method of Drug Administration [Week 24]

      The method of drug administration with which HCPs were most satisfied (IV or SC Herceptin) was assessed via questionnaire with each HCP using the question, "All things considered, with which method of administration were you most satisfied?" at the end of the crossover period (Week 24). The percentage of HCPs who were most satisfied with each method of drug administration was reported.

    2. Percentage of HCPs by Time Required to Perform Each Method of Drug Administration [Week 24]

      The time required to perform each method of drug administration was assessed via questionnaire with each HCP by asking to rate the amount of time it took to administer each method of drug administration (IV or SC Herceptin) at the end of the crossover period (Week 24). Time was rated in the following time block categories: less than (<) 5 minutes, 6 to 10 minutes, 11 to 15 minutes, 16 to 20 minutes, and greater than (>) 20 minutes. Responses of "Not Sure" and "Unknown" were also allowed. The percentage of HCPs who rated the amount of time in each of the categories was reported.

    3. Percentage of Participants With an Event-Free Survival (EFS) Event [From Baseline until time of event; assessed every 6 months (median follow-up of 3 years)]

      EFS events included local, regional, or distant recurrence of the original breast cancer, occurrence of contralateral breast cancer, or death due to any cause. The percentage of participants who had an EFS event at any time on study was reported.

    4. Duration of EFS According to Kaplan-Meier Estimate [From Baseline until time of event; assessed every 6 months (median follow-up of 3 years)]

      EFS was defined as the time from randomization to a local, regional, or distant recurrence of the original breast cancer, occurrence of contralateral breast cancer, or death due to any cause. The median duration of EFS and corresponding 95 percent (%) CI according to Kaplan-Meier estimates were planned to be reported and expressed in months.

    5. 3-Year EFS Rate [Year 3]

      EFS events included local, regional, or distant recurrence of the original breast cancer, occurrence of contralateral breast cancer, or death due to any cause. The proportion of participants without an EFS event (i.e., the EFS rate) and corresponding 95% CI at 3 years after randomization was reported.

    6. Percentage of Participants With Responses of "Agree" or "Strongly Agree" on the SC SID Satisfaction Questionnaire [Immediately following first self-administration of SC Herceptin via SID (once during Weeks 25 to 52)]

      Participants who performed self-administration of SC Herceptin via SID were given an evaluation questionnaire during the continuation period (Weeks 25 to 52) after their first self-administration. Participants responded to 5 statements about their comfort with self-injection, the convenience of the SID, their self-confidence using the SID, their satisfaction with the SID, and whether they would consider using the SID again in the future. Each statement used a 5-item rating scale with responses from "Strongly Disagree" to "Strongly Agree". The percentage of participants with a positive response (either "Agree" or "Strongly Agree") to each questionnaire statement was reported.

    7. Percentage of Participants With Anti-Trastuzumab or Anti-Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase (rHuPH20) Antibodies [Baseline, pre-dose (0 hours) during Cycle 5 (cycle length of 3 weeks)]

      Participants in Cohort 1 provided blood samples for immunogenicity testing to assess for anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) to trastuzumab or rHuPH20, a component of the SC Herceptin formulation. The percentage of participants who were trastuzumab ADA-positive and the percentage of participants who were rHuPH20 ADA-positive were each reported.

    2. Secondary Outcome
    Title Percentage of HCPs by Most Satisfied Method of Drug Administration
    Description The method of drug administration with which HCPs were most satisfied (IV or SC Herceptin) was assessed via questionnaire with each HCP using the question, "All things considered, with which method of administration were you most satisfied?" at the end of the crossover period (Week 24). The percentage of HCPs who were most satisfied with each method of drug administration was reported.
    Time Frame Week 24

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    HCP Population: All HCPs who participated in the study and completed the HCP questionnaire. Results were planned to be analyzed for all HCPs combined because the objective of the study was to compare preference between SC and IV Herceptin.
    Arm/Group Title All HCPs: SC and IV Herceptin
    Arm/Group Description Participants received Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles, randomized to one of two crossover sequences: SC Herceptin via SID (Cohort 1) or vial (Cohort 2) for Cycles 1 to 4 followed by IV Herceptin for Cycles 5 to 8, or vice versa. In the continuation period, participants received IV Herceptin (Cohort 1) or SC Herceptin (Cohort 2) for up to 10 remaining cycles. Participants in Cohort 1 with at least 2 treatment cycles remaining of the 18-cycle treatment course after the crossover period were offered to self-administer SC Herceptin via SID under the direction of a trained HCP, whereas in Cohort 2, administration was performed by HCP throughout the study. If study treatment for Cycle 1 was IV Herceptin, the initial dose was a loading dose of 8 mg/kg for de novo participants who started Herceptin treatment in the study. For all other cycles where IV Herceptin was given and for non-de novo participants, the dose was 6 mg/kg. The SC dose was 600 mg for both SID and vial.

    Arm/Group Title Cohort 1: SC (SID) Herceptin (Crossover) Cohort 1: IV Herceptin (Crossover) Cohort 1: IV Herceptin (Continuation) Cohort 1: SC (SID) Herceptin (Continuation) Cohort 1 Overall: SC (SID) and IV Herceptin Cohort 2: SC (Vial) Herceptin (Crossover) Cohort 2: IV Herceptin (Crossover) Cohort 2: IV Herceptin (Continuation) Cohort 2: SC (Vial) Herceptin (Continuation) Cohort 2 Overall: SC (Vial) and IV Herceptin
    Arm/Group Description Participants received Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles. SC Herceptin was administered via SID as a 600-mg dose during four consecutive cycles of the crossover period. Administration was performed by HCP. Participants received Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles. IV Herceptin was given as a 6-mg/kg dose during four consecutive cycles of the crossover period. If study treatment for Cycle 1 was IV Herceptin, the initial dose was a loading dose of 8 mg/kg (instead of 6 mg/kg) for de novo participants who started Herceptin treatment in the study. Administration was performed by HCP. Participants received Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles. In the continuation period, participants received IV Herceptin as a 6-mg/kg dose for up to 10 remaining cycles. Administration was performed by HCP. Participants received Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles. Those with at least 2 treatment cycles remaining of the 18-cycle treatment course after the crossover period were offered the opportunity to self-administer SC Herceptin via SID as a 600-mg dose under the direction of a trained HCP. Participants received Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles, randomized to one of two crossover sequences: SC Herceptin via SID for Cycles 1 to 4 followed by IV Herceptin for Cycles 5 to 8, or vice versa. In the continuation period, participants received IV Herceptin for up to 10 remaining cycles. Administration was performed by HCP. Those with at least 2 treatment cycles remaining of the 18-cycle treatment course after the crossover period were offered the opportunity to self-administer SC Herceptin via SID under the direction of a trained HCP. If study treatment for Cycle 1 was IV Herceptin, the initial dose was a loading dose of 8 mg/kg for de novo participants who started Herceptin treatment in the study. For all other cycles where IV Herceptin was given and for non-de novo participants, the dose was 6 mg/kg. The SC dose was 600 mg for all cycles where SC Herceptin was given. Participants received Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles. SC Herceptin was administered via handheld syringe using the vial formulation as a 600-mg dose during four consecutive cycles of the crossover period. Administration was performed by HCP. Participants received Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles. IV Herceptin was given as a 6-mg/kg dose during four consecutive cycles of the crossover period. If study treatment for Cycle 1 was IV Herceptin, the initial dose was a loading dose of 8 mg/kg (instead of 6 mg/kg) for de novo participants who started Herceptin treatment in the study. Administration was performed by HCP. Participants received Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles. In the continuation period, participants were planned to receive SC Herceptin via handheld syringe using the vial formulation for up to 10 remaining cycles. However, under protocol deviation a small number of participants received IV Herceptin as a 6-mg/kg dose for this period. Administration was performed by HCP. Participants received Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles. In the continuation period, participants received SC Herceptin via handheld syringe using the vial formulation for up to 10 remaining cycles. Administration was performed by HCP. Participants received Herceptin on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle for 18 cycles, randomized to one of two crossover sequences: SC Herceptin via handheld syringe using the vial formulation for Cycles 1 to 4 followed by IV Herceptin for Cycles 5 to 8, or vice versa. In the continuation period, participants received SC Herceptin for up to 10 remaining cycles. Administration was performed by HCP throughout the study. If study treatment for Cycle 1 was IV Herceptin, the initial dose was a loading dose of 8 mg/kg for de novo participants who started Herceptin treatment in the study. For all other cycles where IV Herceptin was given and for non-de novo participants, the dose was 6 mg/kg. The SC dose was 600 mg for all cycles where SC Herceptin was given.
