A Phase III Randomized, Multicenter, Two Arm, Open-label Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Trastuzumab Emtansine Compared With Treatment of Physician's Choice in Patients With HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer Who Have Received at Least Two Prior Regimens of HER2 Directed Therapy
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Trastuzumab emtansine and Treatment of physician's choice for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 602 participants across 184 sites in 22 countries.
Detailed Summary
This randomized, multicenter, 2-arm, open-label study (TH3RESA) will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in comparison with treatment of the physician's choice in participants with metastatic or unresectable locally advanced/recurrent human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either trastuzumab emtansine 3.6 mg/kg intravenously every 21 days or treatment of the physician's choice. Participants continue to receive study treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. This study is also known under Roche study protocol number BO25734.

Timeline
Interventions
The dose was calculated based on the patient's Baseline weight on Day 1 of each 3-week treatment cycle. The same dose was administered in subsequent cycles if the patient's weight stayed within 10% of the Baseline weight. If there was a weight change \> 10%, the dose was adjusted accordingly and the recorded weight became the new Baseline weight. Trastuzumab emtansine was provided as a single-use lyophilized formulation.
The treatment of physician's choice (TPC) was a protocol-specified approved or standard of care therapy or combination of therapies, based on frequently used regimens for late-line HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer treatment after receipt of both trastuzumab- and lapatinib-containing regimens. The therapies included single-agent chemotherapy, single-agent (e.g., tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitor) or dual-agent (e.g., aromatase inhibitor with luteinizing hormone releasing hormone \[LHRH\] agonist) hormonal therapy for hormone receptor positive-disease, and HER2-directed therapy. Participants who had documented progressive disease (PD) were eligible to switch treatment to receive trastuzumab emtansine 3.6 mg/kg. Participants who switched treatment remained on trastuzumab emtansine treatment until another PD event or unmanageable toxicity. The formulation, storage, and preparation of all TPC were as per the appropriate package insert or national prescribing information.
