A Trial of Panobinostat and Trastuzumab for Adult Female Patients With HER2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) Whose Disease Has Progressed on or After Trastuzumab

April 4, 2016 updated by: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

A Phase Ib/IIa Trial of Panobinostat in Combination With Trastuzumab in Adult Female Patients With HER2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Whose Disease Has Progressed During or Following Therapy With Trastuzumab

The primary purpose of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of both intravenous and oral panobinostat plus trastuzumab. The study will evaluate safety and efficacy of the combination in adult female patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This phase Ib/IIa study was prematurely terminated due to lack of efficacy noted in 55 patients with HER2-positive MBC who had progressed on or following a trastuzumab-based therapy.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Panobinostat with trastuzumab
Panobinostat intravenously (i.v.) or orally was given in combination with trastuzumab.
Drug: Panobinostat
Participants received escalating doses of panobinostat until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was reached. The starting dose of panobinostat i.v. was 10mg/m^2 at days 1 and 8 during a 21-day treatment cycle. The oral panobinostat starting dose was 20 mg twice weekly.
Drug: Trastuzumab
Fixed doses of trastuzumab were given in parallel with panobinostat. Trastuzumab i.v. was given weekly according to the instruction in the package insert.

  • Herceptin

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
Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Time Frame: day 21
Safety data was reviewed to determine the DLTs. DLTs comprised adverse events (AEs) or abnormal laboratory values that occurred at any time and were assessed as clinically relevant and meeting any of the following criteria: considered to be related to the study treatment and unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications. Toxicities were assessed using the National Cancer Institute common terminology criteria for adverse events (NCI CTCAE), version 3.0. Disease related symptoms were not considered a DLT.
day 21

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
Number of Participants With Best Overall Response
Time Frame: day 21
Tumors were assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid tumors (RECIST). Complete response (CR): disappearance of all lesions (i.e. all evidence of disease, not just the target lesions) determined by 2 observations not less than 4 weeks apart; Partial response (PR): > 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameters of target lesions compared to baseline, with response or stable disease observed in non-target lesions, and no new lesions; Stable disease (SD): neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for response or sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease in target lesions, with response or stable disease observed in non-target lesions, and no new lesions; Progressive disease (PD): > 20% increase in the sum of longest diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum longest diameter recorded. In addition, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm.

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.

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
