Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
This is a phase 2 open label study of neoadjuvant trastuzumab deruxtecan plus durvalumab for patients with stage III, HER2-positive or HER2-low inflammatory breast cancer (IBC), who have not received prior therapy for ipsilateral breast cancer.
Participants will be enrolled into one of two study treatment groups: HER2 positive IBC (Cohort 1) or HER2 low IBC (Cohort 2).
Research procedures including screening for eligibility, clinic visits for treatment, tumor biopsies, and blood tests.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved Durvalamab or Trastuzumab deruxtecan for inflammatory breast cancer, but both have been approved for other uses.
Participation in this study is expected to last about 22 months.
It is expected that about 63 people will take part in this research study.
The pharmaceutical company, AstraZeneca, is supporting this research study by providing the study drugs and funding.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Pathological complete response (pCR) Rate [Assessed on surgical tissue: surgery occurs no later than 6 weeks post 8 cycles of neo-adjuvant therapy (one cycle=21 days)]
pCR rate is the proportion of participants with absent invasive carcinoma in the breast and lymph nodes at time of surgery; in situ disease only is considered pCR; if off-treatment prior to surgery than considered not pCR.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Residual Cancer Burden (RCB) Response [Assessed on surgical tissue; surgery occurs +day 14 and no later than 6 weeks post 8 cycles of neo-adjuvant therapy (one cycle=21 days)]
RCB response is the number of participants by RCB category; the RCB calculator used is from M.D Anderson: http://www.mdanderson.org/breastcancer_RCB with parameters
- Event Free Survival (EFS) [Disease assessed every 6 weeks by chest xray (+/- 1 week) until completion of 8 cycles of neo-adjuvant therapy (one cycle=21 days); Follow-up assessments post-surgery every 6 months (+/- 8 weeks) until participant withdrawal or death up to 4 years]
EFS defined from the time of registration until the occurrence of the first of the following events: Progression of disease that precludes surgery; Local/regional recurrence: a recurrent or new invasive ipsilateral breast cancer, invasive breast cancer in the axilla, regional lymph nodes, chest wall, or skin of the ipsilateral breast; Contralateral invasive breast cancer; Distant recurrence: metastatic disease that has either been biopsy confirmed or clinically diagnosed as recurrent invasive breast cancer; or Death from any cause. In the absence of an event, EFS is censored at date last disease assessment. t-year EFS to be estimated by Kaplan-Meier method, with time "t" specified according to median follow-up at time of reporting.
- Distant progression or distant disease-free survival (DP/DDFS) [Disease assessed every 6 weeks by chest xray (+/- 1 week) until 8 cycles of neo-adjuvant therapy (one cycle=21 days); Follow-up assessments post-surgery every 6 months (+/- 8 weeks) until participant withdrawal or death up to 4 years]
DP/DDFS defined from the time of registration until the occurrence of the first of the following events: Distant progression of disease prior to surgery; Distant recurrence: metastatic disease that has either been biopsy confirmed or clinically diagnosed as recurrent invasive breast cancer; or Death from any cause. In the absence of an event, DP/DDFS is censored at date last disease assessment. t-year DP/DDFS to be estimated by Kaplan-Meier method, with time "t" specified according to median follow-up at time of reporting.
