Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Centrally Assessed Progression Free Survival
From randomization date to recurrence, progression or death, assessed up to 38 months. The result is based on primary analysis data cut.

Progression Free Survival (PFS), Measured in Months, for Randomized Subjects of the Central Assessment. The time interval from the date of randomization until the first date on which recurrence, progression (per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST) v1.1), or death due to any cause, is documented. For subjects without recurrence, progression or death, it is censored at the last valid tumor assessment. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Here, the time to event was reported as the restricted mean survival time. The restricted mean survival time was defined as the area under the curve of the survival function up to 24 months.

Overall Survival
From randomization date to death, assessed up to 59 months.The result is based on primary analysis data cut.

Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause, censored at the last date known alive on or prior to the data cutoff employed for the analysis, whichever was earlier.

Trastuzumab may be administered intravenously with a loading dose of 6 mg/kg then 4 mg/kg every 2 weeks. A cycle will be defined as 28 days. Patients will receive neratinib PO daily on Days 1-28 and fulvestrant on Day 1 of each cycle (and C1D15). Each cycle is 4 weeks.
Arm AEXPERIMENTAL1. Neratinib 240 mg (six 40mg tablets) orally once daily for 13 cycles (C) (1 C = 28 days), unless patient discontinues earlier. 2. Mandatory loperamide 4 mg (2 tablets/capsules) orally, 3 times a day (total 12 mg a day) starting Day (D) 1 of neratinib and for the first 14 days. Then, 4 mg (2 tablets/capsules) orally, 2 times a day (total 8 mg a day) until the end of C2 (D56); thereafter, loperamide will be administered PRN (without exceeding 16 mg per day).
Arm BEXPERIMENTAL1. Neratinib 120 mg for Week 1 (C1D1 - C1D7), followed by 160 mg neratinib for Week 2 (C1D8 - C1D14), followed by 240 mg neratinib for Week 3 and thereafter for 13 cycles inclusive, until cycle 13 day 28 (unless patient discontinues earlier). 2. Loperamide to be administered PRN only (without exceeding 16 mg per day).
Arm CEXPERIMENTAL1. Neratinib 240 mg (six 40-mg tablets) orally once daily for 13 C, unless patient discontinues earlier. 2. Mandatory loperamide 4 mg (2 tablets/capsules) orally, 3 times a day (total 12 mg a day) for the first 14 days. After the first 14 days, 4 mg (2 tablets/capsules) orally, 2 times a day (total 8 mg a day) to complete a total of 28 days. 3. Mandatory colesevelam 1,875 mg (three 625-mg capsules orally), 2 times a day for the first month (28 days). After day 28, any prophylaxis or treatment for diarrhoea could be administered PRN, if loperamide not to exceed 16 mg per day.

Frequently asked questions about HKI-272

What is HKI-272?

HKI-272 is an investigational small molecule drug being developed by Puma Biotechnology Inc (ticker PBYI) for oncology indications. It has been studied in advanced breast cancer, breast cancer, carcinoma, and non-small-cell lung cancer. HKI-272 is also known as neratinib, and it is a targeted therapy rather than a conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy.

What is HKI-272 used for in breast cancer?

HKI-272 has been studied in breast cancer, including HER2-positive breast cancer with brain metastases and advanced breast cancer. Clinical trials have evaluated it both as a single agent and in combination with paclitaxel or trastuzumab. It is an investigational therapy and is not described as approved for these uses.

What does HKI-272 target?

HKI-272 targets HER2, a protein receptor that is overexpressed in certain cancers. By binding to HER2, the small molecule is designed to interfere with signaling that drives tumor cell growth. Trials of HKI-272 have used biomarker selection, meaning patients were chosen based on tumor characteristics such as HER2 status.

Who makes HKI-272?

HKI-272 is developed by Puma Biotechnology Inc, which trades under the ticker PBYI. Puma Biotechnology is the sponsor associated with the clinical development program for HKI-272, also known as neratinib, across breast cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer studies.

What phase is HKI-272 in?

HKI-272 is in clinical development, with studies conducted across Phase 1 and Phase 2. It is an investigational drug and is not described as FDA approved. The development program includes completed trials in breast cancer and non-small-cell lung cancer, with no active trials currently listed.

What clinical trials is HKI-272 in?

HKI-272 has been evaluated in completed trials including NCT01494662, which studied HER2-positive breast cancer and brain metastases, and NCT00445458, which tested HKI-272 with paclitaxel in solid tumors and breast cancer. Other completed studies include NCT00398567 with trastuzumab in advanced breast cancer and NCT00266877 in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer.

Is HKI-272 the same as neratinib?

Yes, HKI-272 is the same drug as neratinib. HKI-272 is the research code designation, while neratinib is the generic name used for the same small molecule HER2-targeted agent. Both names refer to the compound developed by Puma Biotechnology Inc for breast cancer and other solid tumor indications.
