Abstract
Abstract TRAXHER2 is a phase 1 dose-finding study in mBC and LA/mGC followed by a randomized, international, multicenter phase 2 study of efficacy and safety of T-DM1 + capecitabine in pts with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive mBC. Rationale for this combination is supported by preclinical data demonstrating an additive effect. Phase 1 assessed maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) for mBC and mGC using a 3+3 design, with dose modification of capecitabine. The MTD for mBC based on 11 dose limiting toxicity (DLT)-evaluable pts was capecitabine 700 mg/m2 BID (days 1-14 of 3-wk cycle) + T-DM1 3.6 mg/kg Q3W. The starting phase 1 capecitabine mGC dose was based on the mBC MTD. For mGC, the MTD based on 6 DLT-evaluable pts was capecitabine 700 mg/m2 BID (days 1-14 of 3-wk cycle) + T-DM1 2.4 mg/kg QW. In phase 2 mBC pts were randomized to T-DM1 (3.6 mg/kg Q3W) + capecitabine (at the MTD from phase 1) or T-DM1 alone. The primary outcome was investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR). Secondary end points included safety and progression-free survival (PFS). 161 mBC pts (median age 52 yrs; range 28-80 yrs) were randomized to T-DM1 + capecitabine (n=81) or T-DM1 alone (n=80). Most pts were Caucasian, female, had a performance status of 0-1, had visceral disease, and received ≤1 prior mBC treatments. There was no statistically significant difference in ORR between pts who received T-DM1 + capecitabine vs T-DM1 alone (44.4% vs 36.3%; P=0.336). Efficacy and safety results are shown (Table). The safety profile was consistent with previous reports. In both arms, most pts had an adverse event (AE); the incidences of AEs (95% vs 88%) and grade 3/4 AEs (44% vs 41%) were numerically higher with the combination. No Grade 5 AEs occurred. In conclusion, the addition of capecitabine to T-DM1 does not enhance anti-tumor efficacy in pts with HER2-positive mBC.
