Interventions

  • Lapatinib — DRUG
    Lapatinib is available as 250-mg orange tablets. Subjects randomized to the Lapatinib plus Trastuzumab arm received 1000 mg per day of Lapatinib, so wre instructed to take 4 x 250 mg tablets per day. Lapatinib was to be taken either 1 hour (or more) before a meal or 1 hour (or more) after a meal
  • Trastuzumab — BIOLOGICAL
    Trastuzumab is a sterile, white to pale yellow, preservative-free lyophilized powder for IV administration. Trastuzumab was administered on Day 1 of the start of Lapatinib or in conjunction with the first cycle of chemotherapy, as an 8 mg/kg loading dose. Subsequently, Trastuzumab was administered q3weekly as a 6 mg/kg maintenance dose. At the discretion of the investigator, weekly Trastuzumab could be given in either of the three treatment arms (loading dose 4mg/kg followed by weekly administration of 2mg/kg).
  • Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) — DRUG
    Subjects who were hormone receptor-positive were required to receive an aromatase inhibitor as combination treatment; however the choice of the aromatase inhibitor selected for each patient was determined by the patients' investigator. The AIs the Investigator could choose from were anastrozole, exemestane, and letrozole and dosing was per product information.

Study Details

This was a multicenter, open-label, Phase II study in subjects with Human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer who received at least 2 prior lines of anti-HER2-targeted therapies of which at least one included a Trastuzumab-containing regimen. This study was a post-approval commitment with regulatory authorities. It was designed to evaluate whether treatment with Dual blockade promoted changes to biomarkers associated with immunomodulation.

Arms

  • Active Comparator: Lapatinib 1000mg + Trastuzumab in HER2 Enriched
    In subjects with HER2-overexpressing MBC with a molecular subtype of HER2 Enriched, Lapatinib 1000mg once daily orally along with Trastuzumab (loading dose of 8 milligram/ kilogram (mg/kg) followed by the maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg Intravenous (IV) Every 3 weeks (q3weekly)) or Lapatinib 1000 milligram (mg) once daily orally along with Weekly Trastuzumab (loading dose of 4 mg/kg) followed by maintenance dose of 2 mg/kg IV weekly. For subjects who were hormone receptor positive, an aromatase inhibitor of the investigator's choice was required.
  • Active Comparator: Trastuzumab in HER2 Enriched
    In subjects with HER2-overexpressing MBC with a molecular subtype of HER2 Enriched, Trastuzumab (loading dose of 8 mg/kg followed by the maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg IV q3weekly) along with chemotherapy of the investigator's choice or Weekly Trastuzumab (loading dose of 4 mg/kg) followed by maintenance dose of 2 mg/kg IV weekly along with chemotherapy of the investigators choice. Subjects randomized to this arm and hormone receptor positive received an aromatase inhibitor at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Active Comparator: Lapatinib 1000mg + Trastuzumab in Non- HER2 Enriched
    In subjects with HER2-overexpressing MBC with a molecular subtype of Non- HER2 Enriched (luminal A, luminal B or Basal type), Lapatinib 1000mg once daily orally along with Trastuzumab (loading dose of 8 milligram/ kilogram (mg/kg) followed by the maintenance dose of 6 mg/kg Intravenous (IV) Every 3 weeks (q3weekly)) or Lapatinib 1000 milligram (mg) once daily orally along with Weekly Trastuzumab (loading dose of 4 mg/kg) followed by maintenance dose of 2 mg/kg IV weekly. For subjects who were hormone receptor positive, an aromatase inhibitor of the investigator's choice was required.

Primary Outcome Measure

Fold Change in Expression Profile of Genes and/or Proteins for Arm A (LAP+TRAS±AI (HER2-Enriched)) From Screening to Approx. 3.5 Years [ Time Frame: At screening and at disease progression, assessed up to approx. 3.5 years ]
