An Open Label Phase II Trial of BIBW 2992 in Patients With HER2-negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

December 5, 2013 updated by: Boehringer Ingelheim

An Open Label Phase II Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of a Once Daily Oral Dose of 50 mg BIBW 2992 in Two Cohorts of Patients With HER2-negative Metastatic Breast Cancer After Failure of no More Than Two Chemotherapy Regimen

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of BIBW 2992, a dual, irreversible EGFR- and HER2-inhibitor, in two cohorts of patients with HER2-negative breast cancer after failure of no more than three regimen of prior chemotherapy.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective Response (OR)
Time Frame: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.
OR is defined as complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) and was assessed according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.0 (RECIST). OR was primary endpoint only for Cohort B.
Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.
Clinical Benefit (CB)
Time Frame: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.
CB was defined as CR, PR or stable disease (SD) for a minimum of 4 months (modified CB) and was assessed according to RECIST 1.0 criteria. CB was primary endpoint only for Cohort A.
Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical Benefit (CB)
Time Frame: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.
CB was defined as CR, PR or stable disease (SD) for a minimum of 4 months (modified CB) and was assessed according to RECIST 1.0 criteria. CB was secondary endpoint only for Cohort B as it was primary endpoint for Cohort A.
Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.
Time to OR
Time Frame: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.
The time to OR was the duration from the first treatment to the time when the measurement criteria for CR and/or PR were met according to RECIST 1.0 criteria.
Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.
Duration of OR
Time Frame: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.
Duration of OR was measured from the time the criteria for CR or PR (whichever was documented first) were first met until the first date that progressive disease or death was objectively documented.
Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.
PFS was defined as the time from the first treatment to the occurrence of tumour progression or death, whichever came first. It was assessed according to RECIST 1.0 criteria as well as by the investigators assessment. Median time results from unstratified Kaplan-Meier estimates.
Tumour assessments were performed at screening, week 8, week 16, week 24, and every 8 weeks thereafter.
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: From randomisation to end of follow-up.
OS is defined as time from randomisation to death.
From randomisation to end of follow-up.
Significant Change in Cardiac Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF)
Time Frame: Baseline and last assessment
LVEF as measured by echocardiography or Multiple Gated Acquisition (MUGA) scan. MUGA scan is an useful noninvasive tool for assessing the function of the heart. Significant change in LVEF values was defined as >=20 percent decrease from baseline or to below lower limit of normal, which was defined as 50 percent.
Baseline and last assessment
Best Change From Baseline in ECOG Performance Status
Time Frame: baseline till end of treatment
Best change from baseline in ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status. ECOG is measured as score between 0 (fully active) and 5 (dead).
baseline till end of treatment
Pre-dose Concentration of Afatinib in Plasma at Steady State on Day 29 (Cpre,ss,29)
Time Frame: day 29
Cpre,ss,29 represents the pre-dose concentration of afatinib in plasma at steady state on day 29.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
November 1, 2006

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
