Summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, phase Ib/ II study (two parts) with patients that have locally advanced or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. The first part (phase Ib) will investigate the MTD/ RP2D of the combination therapy of BEZ235 BID and weekly trastuzumab using a Bayesian model. Once MTD/ RP2D is established the second part (phase II) will start. Phase II will evaluate the efficacy and the safety of weekly trastuzumab plus BEZ235 BID compared to capecitabine and lapatinib.

Conditions

  • Locally Advance Breast Cancer (LABC)
  • Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC)

Interventions

DRUG

BEZ235 + Trastuzumab Phase l/Phase ll)

Phase l: Patients will receive increasing doses of oral BEZ235 (BID) together with standard weekly trastuzumab at a fixed dose. BEZ235 doses will be escalated in cohorts of 3 to 6 patients guided by an adaptive Bayesian logistic regression model with overdose control until MTD/RP2D has been established. Phase ll: If randomized to the trastuzumab + BEZ235 arm, patients will receive standard weekly trastuzumab in combination with oral BEZ235 (BID) at the MTD or RP2D and will continue on study treatment until PD, unacceptable toxicity or until other pre-defined discontinuation criteria are met. They will have regular safety assessments and will be evaluated for response to treatment according to RECIST every 2 cycles for the first 36 weeks then every 12 weeks until disease progression (or start of new anti-neoplastic therapy).

DRUG

Lapatinib + Capecitabine (Phase II)

If randomized to the lapatinib + capecitabine treatment arm, patients will receive standard lapatinib plus capecitabine until PD, unacceptable toxicity or until other pre-defined discontinuation criteria are met. Patients will have regular safety assessments and will be evaluated for response to treatment according to RECIST every 2 cycles for the first 36 weeks then every 12 weeks until disease progression (or start of new anti-neoplastic therapy). After progression, survival f-up will continue. All patients participating in the Phase II part of the study will be required to have available archival or fresh tumor tissue for biomarker analysis prior to treatment start
