Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Subcutaneously Administered Herceptin (Trastuzumab) in Patients With Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-Positive Early Breast Cancer (NCT NCT01928615)

NCT ID: NCT01928615

Last Updated: 2014-09-29

Results Overview

Participants rated their quality of life on a visual analog scale (VAS) at the end of each cycle for Cycles 7-14. The left-end of the VAS represented the lowest-rated quality of life and the right-end of the VAS represented the highest-rated quality of life. Both the mean ratings for injections into the thigh and the upper arm and the minimum ratings for during injections into the thigh and the upper arm are reported. Quality of life scores ranged from 1 to 100 with a higher score indicating a better rated quality of life.

Measure
Trastuzumab
In the run-in phase, participants received trastuzumab intravenously every 3 weeks for 18 weeks (Cycles 1-6). They first received trastuzumab 8 mg/kg once (Cycle 1) followed by trastuzumab 6 mg/kg 5 times for 15 weeks (Cycles 2-6). Following the run-in phase, participants were randomized to receive trastuzumab 600 mg subcutaneously every 3 weeks in the thigh and upper arm in a cross-over design for a total of 24 weeks (Cycles 7-14). They received trastuzumab either in the thigh first for 4 cycles (Cycles 7-10) followed by trastuzumab in the upper arm for 4 cycles (Cycles 11-14) or the upper arm first (Cycles 7-10) followed by the thigh (Cycles 11-14). In Cycles 15-18, participants received trastuzumab 600 mg SC every 3 weeks into either the thigh or the upper arm (participant's choice) for 12 weeks (Cycles 15-18).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Cycles 7-14 (Weeks 19-42, 24 weeks total)

Population: Modified intent-to-treat population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication and who have at least 1 quality of life score in each treatment period (Cycles 7-10 and Cycle 11-14). Due to the low enrollment (n = 2) and premature termination of the study, the Outcome Measure was not analyzed.

Participants rated their quality of life on a visual analog scale (VAS) at the end of each cycle for Cycles 7-14. The left-end of the VAS represented the lowest-rated quality of life and the right-end of the VAS represented the highest-rated quality of life. Both the mean ratings for injections into the thigh and the upper arm and the minimum ratings for during injections into the thigh and the upper arm are reported. Quality of life scores ranged from 1 to 100 with a higher score indicating a better rated quality of life.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to the end of the study (up to 54 weeks)

Population: Intent-to-treat population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication. Due to the low enrollment (n = 2) and premature termination of the study, the Outcome Measure was not analyzed.

Overall survival was defined as the time in months from Baseline to death from any cause.

Disease-free survival was defined as the time in months from Baseline to disease recurrence or death, whichever occurred first.

Timeframe: End of Cycles 10 and 14 (Weeks 30 and 42)

Population: Intent-to-treat population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication. Due to the low enrollment (n = 2) and premature termination of the study, the Outcome Measure was not analyzed.

The health care provider for each participant was asked to rate their satisfaction with the 2 injection sites, thigh and upper arm, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 represents greater satisfaction. Ratings were made at the end of Cycles 10 and 14.
