Phase II Metastatic ER+/PgR+ Nolvadex +/- Iressa Study - Full Text View

Purpose

This study is being carried out to see if ZD1839 is effective in treating metastatic breast cancer in combination with Nolvadex, and if so, how it compares with Nolvadex alone.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Strata 1: To compare the time to progression between 2 treatment arms (ZD1839/Nolvadex vs placebo/Nolvadex)
Strata 2: To compare the clinical benefit rate between 2 treatment arms (ZD1839/Nolvadex vs placebo/Nolvadex)

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To compare the clinical benefit rate between 2 treatment arms (ZD1839/Nolvadex vs placebo/Nolvadex) in Strata 1 and overall
To compare time to progression between 2 treatment arms (ZD1839/Nolvadex vs placebo/Nolvadex) in Strata 2 and overall
To compare the objective response rate between ZD1839/Nolvadex and placebo/Nolvadex in each strata and overall
To estimate duration of response for the ZD1839/Nolvadex and placebo/Nolvadex treatments in each strata and overall
To compare overall survival between the ZD1839/Nolvadex and placebo/Nolvadex in each strata
To assess whether patients with high tumour levels of HER-2 and/or AIB1 demonstrate de novo resistance to Nolvadex therapy or have shorter TTP or response duration when compared with Nolvadex/ZD1839 treatment
To compare the objective response rate between the ZD1839/Nolvadex and placebo/Nolvadex treatment arms in the subset of all patients with ER+ tumours staining 2+/3+ for Her2neu by IHC
To compare the safety and tolerability of ZD1839/Nolvadex to placebo/Nolvadex
To determine steady-state plasma trough concentrations of tamoxifen in all patients and to compare between the ZD1839/Nolvadex and placebo/Nolvadex treatment arms
To determine steady-state plasma trough concentrations of ZD1839 and relate values to historical data
To relate steady-state plasma trough concentrations of ZD1839 to demographic, response, and safety variables
To assess the quality of life (QOL) and symptom relief based on the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Breast (FACT-B) on both treatment arms
To investigate subject hospital resource use and health status
Characterization of specific adverse events
To obtain tumour tissue for biologic studies in this patient population

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Histologically confirmed metastatic adenocarcinoma of the breast (seeTNM staging Appendix I) that is ER and/or PR positive as determined in local laboratories at each investigator site (central verification of ER status will be performed after the patient starts treatment
A tissue block from either the metastatic or primary tumor site is required.
WHO performance status (PS) 0-2
Patients must not be pregnant or breast-feeding. A negative pregnancy test is required within 7 days prior to randomization if pre- or peri-menopausal. Postmenopausal patients are defined as:
natural menopause with last menses > 1 year ago,
radiation induced oophorectomy with last menses > 1 year ago,
chemotherapy induced menopause with 1 year interval since last menses, or
serum FSH and LH and plasma estradiol levels in the postmenopausal range for the institution.
bilateral oophorectomy

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients cannot be on hormone replacement therapy or received prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease.
Patients previously treated with a Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor or have evidence of an active interstitial lung disease are not eligible.
Treatment with LH-RH analog.
Laboratory values as follow Bilirubin >1.5 times upper limit of normal ULN, alanine amino transferase (ALT) or aspartate amino transferase (AST) >2.5 times the ULN if no demonstrable liver metastases, or >5 times the ULN in the presence of liver metastases
Bone marrow function: WBC <1500 mm3
