A Study to Determine Best Tumor Response With Trastuzumab Emtansine in Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) Overexpressing Solid Tumors (KAMELEON)

Phase II, Exploratory, Multicenter, Non Randomized, Single Agent Cohort Study to Determine Best Tumor Response With Trastuzumab Emtansine in HER2 Overexpressing Solid Tumors

This multicenter, non-randomized, Phase II study will assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of trastuzumab emtansine in participants with HER2 overexpressing locally advanced (unresectable and not treatable with curative intent) or metastatic urothelial bladder cancer (UBC), locally advanced (unresectable and not treatable with curative intent) or metastatic pancreatic cancer/cholangiocarcinoma with advanced disease where cure is no longer possible and where no other treatment options are available anymore. Participants will receive intravenous (IV) infusion of trastuzumab emtansine as Regimen A (2.4 milligrams per kilogram [mg/kg], weekly [qw]) or Regimen B (3.6 mg/kg, every 3 weeks [q3w]) until unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, disease progression (PD), or death, whichever occurs first. Based on tolerability and safety aspects, steering committee and Independent Data Monitoring Committee (iDMC) will decide on expansion of the study to include more participants with other carcinoma types.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Cohort 1 (UBC); First six participants with locally advanced (unresectable and not treatable with curative intent) or metastatic UBC will initially receive Regimen A (trastuzumab emtansine at a dose of 2.4 mg/kg qw). An iDMC will assess the safety among the first six participants and decide whether dose will be switched to Regimen B (trastuzumab emtansine at a dose of 3.6 mg/kg q3w).	Drug: Trastuzumab Emtansine; Trastuzumab emtansine will be administered as Regimen A (2.4 mg/kg qw via IV infusion) or Regimen B (3.6 mg/kg q3w via IV infusion) until unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, disease progression, or death, whichever occurs first.; Other Names: Kadcyla
Experimental: Cohort 2 (Pancreatic cancer/cholangiocarcinoma); First six participants with metastatic pancreatic cancer/cholangiocarcinoma will receive Regimen A (trastuzumab emtansine at a dose of 2.4 mg/kg qw). An iDMC will assess the safety among the first six participants and decide whether dose will be switched to Regimen B (trastuzumab emtansine at a dose of 3.6 mg/kg q3w).	Drug: Trastuzumab Emtansine; Trastuzumab emtansine will be administered as Regimen A (2.4 mg/kg qw via IV infusion) or Regimen B (3.6 mg/kg q3w via IV infusion) until unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, disease progression, or death, whichever occurs first.; Other Names: Kadcyla

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Best Overall Response (BOR) Assessed by the Investigator Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1).	BOR was defined as having best objective response as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as assessed by investigator and confirmed at least 28 days after initial response, according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must decrease to normal (short axis less than [<] 10 millimeter [mm]). PR was defined as a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum diameter. Percentage of participants with best overall response of CR or PR are reported.	Baseline up to PD/recurrence or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 18 months)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	PFS was the time from inclusion in the study to the date of first documented PD or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants without event were censored at the date of the last tumor assessment where non-progression was documented. If a participant received a second anti-cancer therapy without prior documentation of disease progression, the participant was censored at the date of last tumor assessment before starting new chemotherapy. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.	Baseline up to PD/recurrence or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 18 months)
Overall Survival (OS)	OS was determined as the time from beginning of treatment to death from any cause.	Baseline up to PD/recurrence or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 18 months)
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs)	Incidence, type and severity of all adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE v4.03).	Baseline up to approximately 18 months
Percentage of Participants With Drug-induced Liver Injury Meeting Hy's Law Criteria	Participants from both cohorts (UBC and Pancreatic cancer/cholangiocarcinoma) were analyzed for drug-induced liver injury following Hy's Law. Hy's Law criteria for potential drug-induced liver injury includes an elevated ALT (alanine aminotransferase) or AST (aspartate aminotransferase) in combination with either elevated bilirubin or clinical jaundice.	Baseline up to approximately 18 months
Plasma/Serum Concentrations of Trastuzumab Emtansine	Samples for evaluation of trastuzumab emtansine, DM1, and total trastuzumab were obtained from all participants from both cohorts at specified time points.	Regimen A: predose (0 minutes [min]) and 15-30 min postinfusion on Days (D) 1, 8, 15 of Cycle (C) 1 and D1C4; predose on D1C2. Regimen B: predose and 15-30 min postinfusion on D1C1 and D1C4; predose on D1C2. 1 Cycle=21 days
