A Study of Tucatinib vs. Placebo in Combination With Ado-trastuzumab Emtansine (T-DM1) for Patients With Advanced or Metastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer

Institutional Protocol # 20190505
National Clinical Trials Identifier NCT03975647

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is being done to see if tucatinib with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) works
better than T-DM1 alone to help patients who have a specific type of breast cancer called
HER2 positive breast carcinoma. The breast cancer in this study is either metastatic (spread
into other parts of the body) or cannot be removed completely with surgery.
Patients in this study will be randomly assigned to get either tucatinib or placebo (a pill
with no medicine). This is a blinded study, so neither patients nor their doctors will know
whether a patient gets tucatinib or placebo. All patients in the study will get T-DM1, a drug
that is often used to treat this cancer.
Each treatment cycle lasts 21 days. Patients will swallow tucatinib pills or placebo pills
two times every day. Patients will get T-DM1 injections from the study site staff on the
first day of every cycle.

- Histologically confirmed HER2+ breast carcinoma as determined by a
sponsor-designated central laboratory
- History of prior treatment with a taxane and trastuzumab in any setting,
separately or in combination
- Have progression of unresectable locally advanced/metastatic breast cancer after
last systemic therapy, or be intolerant of last systemic therapy
- Measurable or non-measurable disease assessable by RECIST v1.1
- ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1
- CNS Inclusion - Based on screening contrast brain magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), subjects must have at least one of the following:
(a) No evidence of brain metastases
(b) Untreated brain metastases not needing immediate local therapy
(c) Previously treated brain metastases
1. Brain metastases previously treated with local therapy may either be stable
since treatment or may have progressed since prior local CNS therapy,
provided that there is no clinical indication for immediate re-treatment
with local therapy
2. Subjects treated with CNS local therapy for newly identified lesions or
previously treated and progressing lesions may be eligible to enroll if all
of the following criteria are met:
(i) Time since SRS is at least 7 days prior to first dose of study
treatment, time since WBRT is at least 14 days prior to first dose, or time
since surgical resection is at least 28 days.
(ii) Other sites of evaluable disease are present
3. Relevant records of any CNS treatment must be available to allow for
classification of target and non-target lesions
- Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior treatment with tucatinib, afatinib, trastuzumab deruxtecan (DS-8201a), or
any other investigational anti-HER2, anti-EGFR, or HER2 TKI agent. Prior
treatment with lapatinib or neratinib within 12 months of starting study
treatment (except in cases where they were given for ≤21 days and was
discontinued for reasons other than disease progression or severe toxicity).
Prior treatment with pyrotinib for recurrent of mBC (except in cases where
pyrotinib was given for ≤21 days and was discontinued for reasons other than
disease progression or severe toxicity).
- CNS Exclusion - Based on screening contrast brain magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), subjects must not have any of the following:
1. Any untreated brain lesions >2 cm in size
2. Ongoing use of corticosteroids for control of symptoms of brain metastases
at a total daily dose of >2 mg of dexamethasone (or equivalent).
