  Purpose

This open-label, randomized, parallel arm study will evaluate the effect of Xeloda administered concurrently with Whole Brain Radiation Therapy (WBRT) and as maintenance therapy in patients with breast cancer and newly diagnosed brain metastases. Patients will be randomized to receive either Xeloda (825 mg/sqm orally bid) on days 1-14 of the 1st 3-week cycle together with 10 days standard WBRT, or WBRT alone. Maintenance therapy will follow with Xeloda (1000 mg/sqm orally bid) on days 1-14 from cycle 2 onwards, or another systemic therapy in the WBRT only group. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression and the target sample size is <150.

Further study details as provided by Hoffmann-La Roche:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Best objective CNS response (CR+PR) assessed by contrast-enhanced MRI reviewed by centralized independent expert [ Time Frame: MRI 6 weeks after 1st day of radiotherapy and every 9 weeks thereafter ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Objective CNS response (CR+PR) assessed by MRI 4 weeks after completion of WBRT [ Time Frame: 6 weeks after 1st day of radiotherapy ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Best objective CNS response (CR+PR), clinical benefit (CR+PR+stable disease), duration of CNS response, brain progression-free survival [ Time Frame: assessed 6 weeks after 1st day of radiotherapy and every 9 weeks thereafter or at time of clinical deterioration ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Extracranial disease response rate according to RECIST criteria [ Time Frame: assessed after 6 weeks and every 9 weeks thereafter ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • progression-free survival (CNS or extracranial), overall survival [ Time Frame: assessed every 9 weeks or at time of clinical deterioration and by the end of the study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Safety, AEs [ Time Frame: throughout study, laboratory and neurological assessments every 3 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
