Randomized, Open Label, Clinical Study of the Targeted Therapy, Palbociclib, to Treat Metastatic Breast Cancer

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the combination of palbociclib with anti-HER2 therapy plus endocrine therapy is superior to anti-HER2-based therapy plus endocrine therapy alone in improving the outcomes of subjects with hormone receptor-positive, HER2+ metastatic breast cancer.

Conditions

• HER-2 Positive Breast Cancer
• Estrogen Receptor Positive Breast Cancer

Interventions

DRUG

palbociclib

o Starting dose: 125 mg capsule taken orally once per day for 21 days followed by 7 days off to complete 28 day cycle. Dose reductions: 100 mg, 75 mg. allowed. Number of Cycles: until progression or unacceptable toxicity develops

DRUG

trastuzumab

Patients must have received a minimum of 4 and maximum of 8 cycles of induction therapy prior to randomization to Arm A or B, at which point they will continue on antiHER2 therapy and endocrine therapy, with or without palbociclib. Trastuzumab dosing will be determined based on a loading dose of 8mg trastuzumab/kg body weight for Q3WK dosing schedules or a maintenance dose of 6mg/kg trastuzumab/kg dosing weight for Q3WK dosing schedules. Loading dose will be administered on Cycle 1, Day 1.

DRUG

pertuzumab

Patients must have received a minimum of 4 and maximum of 8 cycles of induction therapy prior to randomization to Arm A or B, at which point they will continue on antiHER2 therapy and endocrine therapy, with or without palbociclib.Pertuzumab will be administered at a loading dose of 840 mg infusion and then at a maintenance dose of 420 mg q3wks. If patient is within 5 weeks of receiving loading dose at Cycle 1, Day 1, patient may start with maintenance dose of 420 mg.
