  Purpose

In vitro data suggest synergy between oxaliplatin and 5-FU. The combination of oxaliplatin with 5-fluorouracil produced objective response rates ranging from 27-34% in two studies of patients with prior chemotherapy. Capecitabine was designed as an orally administered, tumor selective fluoropyrimidine, preferentially converted to 5-FU at the tumor site by the higher levels of pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (PyNPase) in tumor tissues compared to normal tissues. The end result is higher concentrations of 5-fluorouracil in tumor relative to surrounding normal tissue. Trastuzumab is synergistic in vitro with multiple chemotherapeutic agents including the platinum compounds. Studies have shown the efficacy of trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy in patients with HER2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer. This trial will investigate the activity of capecitabine and oxaliplatin administered with trastuzumab (CAPOX-T) in patients with HER2 overexpressing in patients with advanced disease.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • - · To determine the objective response rate (CR+PR) of capecitabine, oxaliplatin and trastuzumab(CAPOX-T) in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To measure time to progression [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To determine rate of clinical benefit response (CR + PR + SD > 6 months) [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • To determine toxicity rate of CAPOX-T in this patient population [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • To explore potential correlations between changes in HER2 circulating extracellular domain in the primary tumor with response [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: 1
Capecitabine + Oxaliplatin + trastuzumab. Patients must be HER2 positive.
Drug: Capecitabine
Capecitabine 825 mg/m2 po bid, days 1-14
Drug: Oxaliplatin
Oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 IV, day 1
Drug: Trastuzumab
Trastuzumab 6mg/kg IV, day 1. 8 mg/kg loading dose given in cycle 1 for patients without previous trastuzumab therapy only.

Detailed Description:

OUTLINE: This is a multi-center study.

  • CAPOX-T (21 day cycle):Capecitabine 825 mg/m2 orally twice daily Days 1-14Oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 intravenously Day 1
  • Trastuzumab : 6 mg/kg intravenously Day 1.8mg/kg loading dose should be given in cycle 1 for patients without previous trastuzumab therapy only.

Patients may continue combination therapy until progression or toxicity intervenes. Patients who discontinue either or both cytotoxic agents due to toxicity may, at the investigators discretion, continue therapy with the remaining agents on study until progressive disease
