Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

invasive disease-free survival (IDFS)
5 years

The IDFS is defined as the time period between the registration and the first invasive event. It will be analyzed after the end of the study by referring to data from GBG patient's registry.

Rate of pathological complete remissions
20 weeks

at the time of final surgery after 6 cycles of Arm A (Epirubicin/ Docetaxel/ Capecitabine-containing chemotherapy ± Trastuzumab in HER-2 positive disease) vs. Arm B (Epirubicin/Docetaxel-containing chemotherapy ± Trastuzumab in HER-2 positive disease).

Progression free survival (PFS), as measured by RECIST per local review
Subjects coming off study will be contacted by telephone or at routine clinic visits approximately every 3 months until 36 months from date the last subject is randomized into the study.

Secondary Endpoints

locoregional relapse-free survival (LRRFS)
5 years
overall survival (OS)
5 years
distant disease-free survival (DDFS)
5 years

Frequently asked questions about Epirubicin

What is Epirubicin used for?

Epirubicin is an oncology small molecule being studied for stomach neoplasms, breast cancer, and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. It is currently in Phase 3 clinical development. Epirubicin is being evaluated in combination with other agents in clinical trials for these cancer types.

Who makes Epirubicin?

Epirubicin is being developed by Amgen Inc., which trades under the ticker AMGN. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug in oncology indications including breast cancer and gastric cancers.

What phase is Epirubicin in?

Epirubicin is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. The drug is being studied in completed Phase 3 trials for early breast cancer and in earlier-phase trials for gastric and esophagogastric junction cancers.

What clinical trials is Epirubicin in?

Epirubicin has been studied in several completed trials. NCT00309556 was a Phase 3 randomized neoadjuvant study in early breast cancer. NCT00719550 was a Phase 1 trial combining epirubicin with AMG 102 for gastric or esophagogastric junction cancer. NCT01234324 was a Phase 2 trial of epirubicin with panitumumab in gastric cancer. NCT01690702 was a Phase 3 study in high-risk early breast cancer.

What does Epirubicin target?

Epirubicin is a small molecule oncology drug. Its specific molecular target is not disclosed in the available clinical trial information. The drug is being studied in combination with other therapies for the treatment of breast cancer and gastric cancers.

Is Epirubicin the same as AMG 102?

No, Epirubicin is not the same as AMG 102. In clinical trial NCT00719550, epirubicin was combined with AMG 102, which is a separate investigational agent. Epirubicin is the chemotherapy drug being evaluated in that trial, while AMG 102 is the experimental combination partner.
