Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Pathological complete response of breast and lymph nodes (ypT0 ypN0; primary endpoint)
24 weeks (time window -3 weeks)

Pathological response will be assessed considering all removed breast and lymphatic tissues from all surgeries. Surgery takes place shortly after the 18 weeks (six 3-week cycles) chemotherapy treatment. No microscopic evidence of residual viable tumor cells in all resected specimens of the breast and axilla meets the primary endpoint.

Secondary Endpoints

1.ypT0/is ypN0; ypT0; ypT0/is; ypN0, and regression grades
24 weeks (time window -3 weeks)
Clinical and imaging response
24 weeks (time window -3 weeks)
loco-regional invasive recurrence free survival (LRRFS), regional recurrence free survival (RRFS), local recurrence free survival (LRFS), distant-disease- free survival (DDFS), invasive disease-free survival (IDFS), and overall survival (OS)

Frequently asked questions about background treatment

What is the background treatment used for?

The background treatment is a small molecule being studied for use in oncology, specifically in patients with tubular breast cancer stage II. It is part of a neoadjuvant therapy regimen for early breast cancer, including triple-negative and HER2-positive subtypes.

Who is developing the background treatment?

The background treatment is being developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, a company traded on the NYSE under the ticker TEVA. The drug is currently in Phase 2 clinical development.

What phase is the background treatment in?

The background treatment is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. One Phase 2 trial has been completed.

What clinical trials is the background treatment in?

The background treatment was studied in clinical trial NCT01426880, titled "Addition of Carboplatin to Neoadjuvant Therapy for Triple-negative and HER2-positive Early Breast Cancer." This Phase 2 trial enrolled 595 female participants aged 18 years and older in Germany.

Is the background treatment the same as carboplatin?

The background treatment is not the same as carboplatin. In the clinical trial NCT01426880, carboplatin was added to the background treatment as part of the neoadjuvant therapy regimen. The background treatment serves as the standard backbone to which carboplatin was added.
