NCT03225937

Brief Summary

This is a Phase II multi-center 2-sequential cohorts trial, designed to assess the objective response rate of two anti HER2 combination in advanced disease CRC patients harbouring an amplified HER2 tumor assessed according to HERACLES Diagnostic Criteria by FISH/SISH. Cohort A: monoclonal antibody trastuzumab, used in combination with the small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor lapatinib. Cohort B, monoclonal antibody pertuzumab, used in combination with the antibody drug conjugate trastuzumab-emtansine. Please note that cohort A accrual has been closed and endpoint already reached.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Objective Response Rate according to RECIST 1.1 criteria

    Time Frame: every 8 weeks (cohort A) or every 9 weeks (cohort B) from date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 48 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Description of the frequency and severity of Adverse Events based on the NCI -CTCAE V4.0

    Time Frame: weekly (cohort A) or every 21 days (cohort B) from date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 48 months

  • Progression Free Survival

    Time Frame: every 8 weeks (cohort A) or every 9 weeks (cohort B) from date of enrollment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 48 months

Study Arms (2)

Cohort A

EXPERIMENTAL

Trastuzumab and lapatinib

Drug: Trastuzumab, Lapatinib

Cohort B

EXPERIMENTAL

Pertuzumab and Trastuzumab-emtansine

Drug: Pertuzumab, trastuzumab-emtansine

Interventions

Patients enrolled in Cohort A will receive lapatinib 1000 mg daily per os + trastuzumab 4 mg/kg iv load, followed by 2 mg/kg iv weekly. Patients will receive study medication until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death, whichever come first.

Cohort A

Patients enrolled in Cohort B will receive pertuzumab 840 mg iv load, followed by 420 mg iv Q3weeks + trastuzumab-emtansine 3.6 mg/kg iv on day 1 of each subsequent 3 week cycle. Patients will receive study medication until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or death, whichever come first.

Cohort B

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histological/confirmed adenocarcinoma of the colon or rectum with metastatic disease not amenable to salvage surgery.
  • Pathology mandatory requirements: the original tumour specimen must be KRAS WT and SISH/FISH positive or IHC 3+ positive in more than 50% cells. Note: for immunohistochemistry a positive staining (3+) is defined as an intense membrane staining which can be circumferential, basolateral, or lateral of the tumor cells. the original paraffin block or a minimum of 15 polarized unstained slides from the original paraffin block must be made available to the Pathology Core within 15 days from registration.
  • Age ≥18
  • ECOG PS 0-1
  • Measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria.
  • Progression (PD) while on, or within 6 months from therapy with approved standard drugs.
  • Unless otherwise contraindicated patients should have received and failed the following previous therapies for mCRC: fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, cetuximab or panitumumab containing regimens. Bevacizumab is allowed
  • Adequate haematological function as defined by: ANC \> 1.5 x 109/L, platelet count \>100 x 109/L, haemoglobin \> 10 g/dL
  • Adequate renal function, as defined by: creatinine \< 1.5 x UNL
  • Adequate hepatobiliary function, as defined by the following baseline liver function tests: total serum bilirubin \<1.5 upper normal limit (UNL); alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \< 2.5xUNL; alkaline phosphatase (AP) \< 2.5xUNL, if total alkaline phosphatase (AP) \> 2.5xUNL, alkaline phosphatase liver fraction must be \< 2.5xUNL
  • Adequate contraception for all fertile patients
  • Negative pregnancy test

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects meeting any of the following criteria must not be enrolled in the study:
  • Radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks prior to enrolment.
  • Other chemotherapy or biological therapy treatment ≤ 4 weeks prior to enrolment.
  • Symptomatic brain metastases.
  • Active infection.
  • Gastro-intestinal abnormalities, inability to take oral medication, any condition affecting absorption.
  • Impaired cardiac function including any of the following: uncontrolled hypertension (systolic \>150 mmHg and/or diastolic \> 100 mmHg) or clinically significant (i.e. active) cardiovascular disease: cerebrovascular accident/stroke or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to first study medication; unstable angina; chronic heart failure (CHF) of New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or higher (See Appendix 4); or serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication, baseline Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≤ 55% measured by echocardiography (ECHO).
  • Major surgery in the two weeks prior to entering the clinical trial.
  • Concurrent treatment with any other anti-cancer therapy.
  • History of another neoplastic disease (except basal cell carcinoma of the skin or uterine cervix carcinoma in situ adequately treated), unless in remission for ≥ 5 years.
