BEZ235 Trial in Patients With HER2-(Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 Negative) /HR+ (Hormonal Receptor Positive) Metastatic Breast Cancer - Full Text View

Purpose

This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single arm, phase II study with a 2-stage design and Bayesian interim monitoring to investigate the safety and efficacy of BEZ235 in patients with progressive metastatic HR+ HER2- breast cancer who have received at least one prior line of endocrine therapy and two to three prior lines of chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Patients will be stratified into 3 groups according to their PI3K (phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase) pathway activation status.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Progression-free survival rate after 16 weeks of treatment [ Time Frame: 16 weeks after the first BEZ235 administration ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

determine the efficacy of BEZ235 (objective response rate) [ Time Frame: about 6 months ]
evaluate the clinical benefit rate of BEZ235 [ Time Frame: about 6 months ]
evaluate the time to response [ Time Frame: about 6 months ]
evaluate the Progression Free Survival Rate at 16-week & 24-week using the Kaplan-Meier method [ Time Frame: 16-week & 24-week after the first BEZ235 administration ]
evaluate safety of BEZ235 (frequency and severity of Adverse Events, abnormal laboratory values, other safety data as appropriate) [ Time Frame: 30-35 days after treatment discontinuation ]
