HELENA Study: An Observational Study of Perjeta (Pertuzumab) in First-Line Treatment in Patients With Her2-Positive Advanced Breast Cancer After Adjuvant Herceptin Therapy

December 10, 2020 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

Noninterventional Study - Advanced HER2-positive Breast Cancer (Metastatic or Locally Recurrent, Inoperable): First-Line Treatment With PERJETA After Adjuvant Herceptin Therapy (HELENA)

This observational study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and patient reported quality of life of palliative first-line Perjeta (pertuzumab) in combination with Herceptin (trastuzumab) in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer (metastatic or locally recurrent, inoperable) who relapsed after completed adjuvant Herceptin therapy. Additionally, information on selection criteria of breast cancer patients treated first-line with Perjeta, Herceptin and chemotherapy and their treatment duration will be collected and analyzed. Data will be collected from eligible patients for up to 20 months of treatment and 24 months of follow-up.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Female adult patients, >/= 18 years of age
  • HER2-positive advanced breast cancer (metastatic or locally recurrent, inoperable) relapsing after completed adjuvant Herceptin therapy
  • Indication for first-line treatment with Perjeta in combination with Herceptin and chemotherapy according to the Summary of Product Characteristics
  • Prior Herceptin therapy as systemic adjuvant treatment (postoperative treatment in a potentially curable setting); additional upfront neoadjuvant Herceptin therapy is allowed
  • No prior chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy for advanced (metastatic or locally recurrent, inoperable) HER2-positive breast cancer

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women
  • Contraindications to Perjeta, Herceptin or concomitant chemotherapy according to the Summary of Product Characteristics

Cohort

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
Time Frame
Median progression-free survival in routine clinical practice
Time Frame: approximately 7.5 years
approximately 7.5 years

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
Time Frame
Dosage/schedule: Initiation/duration/modification/discontinuation of Perjeta administration
Time Frame: approximately 7.5 years
approximately 7.5 years
Clinical/demographic patients characteristics at initiation of treatment
Time Frame: approximately 7.5 years
approximately 7.5 years
Safety: Incidence of adverse events
Time Frame: approximately 7.5 years
approximately 7.5 years
Patient reported outcome: Quality of life (FACT B questionnaire)
Time Frame: approximately 7.5 years
approximately 7.5 years

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

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.
June 14, 2013

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.
November 25, 2020

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

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). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
