Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Breast Cancer



Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Breast Cancer

For Condition: stage 2 breast cancer,stage 3A breast cancer,stage 1 breast cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Breast International Group , EORTC Breast Cancer Cooperative Group,National Cancer Institute of Canada,International Breast Cancer Study Group
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known whether trastuzumab is effective in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomizedphase III trial to determine the effectiveness of trastuzumab in treating women who have breast cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Compare the disease-free survival of women with HER2-positive primary breast cancer treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin®) for 1 year vs trastuzumab for 2 years vs standard supportive care. - Compare the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens. - Compare the relapse-free survival of patients treated with these regimens. - Compare the distant disease-free survival of patients treated with these regimens. - Compare the incidence of cardiac dysfunction in patients treated with these regimens. - Evaluate the safety and tolerability of these regimens in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to nodal status (any nodal status and prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy vs no positive nodes and no prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy vs 1-3 positive nodes and no prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy vs 4 or more positive nodes and no prior neoadjuvant chemotherapy), prior adjuvant chemotherapy regimen (no anthracyclines or taxanes vs anthracyclines only vs anthracyclines and taxanes), receptor status and endocrine therapy (negative vs positive and no prior endocrine therapy vs positive and prior endocrine therapy), age (18 to 34 vs 35 to 49 vs 50 to 59 vs 60 and over), and participating center. Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients receive trastuzumab (Herceptin®) IV over 1.5 hours on day 1. Courses repeat every 3 weeks for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. - Arm II: Patients receive trastuzumab as in arm I. Courses repeat every 3 weeks for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. - Arm III: Patients receive no trastuzumab. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 4,482 patients (1,494 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 4 years.
