A Study of Trastuzumab Emtansine (T-DM1) Plus Pertuzumab/Pertuzumab Placebo Versus Trastuzumab [Herceptin] Plus a Taxane in Participants With Metastatic Breast Cancer (MARIANNE)

Official Title:

A Randomized, 3 Arm, Multicenter, Phase III Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and the Safety of T-DM1 Combined With Pertuzumab or T-DM1 Combined With Pertuzumab-Placebo (Blinded for Pertuzumab), Versus the Combination of Trastuzumab Plus Taxane, as First Line Treatment in HER2 Positive Progressive or Recurrent Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

Summary

This randomized, 3-arm, multicenter, phase III study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) with pertuzumab or trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) with pertuzumab-placebo (blinded for pertuzumab), versus the combination of trastuzumab (Herceptin) plus taxane (docetaxel or paclitaxel) in participants with HER2-positive progressive or recurrent locally advanced or previously untreated metastatic breast cancer. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms (Arms A, B or C). Arm A will be open-label, whereas Arms B and C will be blinded.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* Adult participants \>/=18 years of age
* HER2-positive breast cancer

Participants with locally advanced disease must have recurrent or progressive disease, which must not be amenable to resection with curative intent.
* Participants must have measurable and/or non-measurable disease which must be evaluable per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 or 1
* Adequate organ function as determined by laboratory results

Exclusion Criteria:

* History of prior (or any) chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer or recurrent locally advanced disease
* An interval of \<6 months from the last dose of vinca-alkaloid or taxane cytotoxic chemotherapy until the time of metastatic diagnosis
* Hormone therapy \<7 days prior to randomization
* Trastuzumab therapy and/or lapatinib (neo- or adjuvant setting) \<21 days prior to randomization
* Prior trastuzumab emtansine or pertuzumab therapy
