Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Primary Endpoint : Compare Best Overall Response Rate (ORR) (According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor [RECIST] 1.1 Criteria) at Week 24 of MYL-1401O Plus Taxane Versus Herceptin® Plus Taxane in the ITT1 Population
from time of First treatment to week 24

Tumor measurements were perform by centralized blinded reviewers using RECIST 1.1 criteria. Per RECIST 1.1: Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph node must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm.Partial Response (PR): \>/= 30% decrease sum of the diameters of target lesions from baseline sum diameters. Progressive Disease (PD): \</= 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, from the smallest sum on study with at least a 5 mm absolute increase in the sum of all lesions. The appearance of one or more new lesions\* denotes disease progression. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient decrease or increase. Evaluation of Non-Target Lesions Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-target lesions. Non-complete Response/Non-Progressive Disease: Persistence of one or more non-target lesions. Progressive Disease (PD): Substantial, unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
71 days

The primary pharmacokinetic variables for assessment of bioequivalence are dose-normalized Cmax based on the equivalence criterion that Cmax least square mean ratios are bounded within the 90% confidence intervals, 80.00% - 125.00%.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) - Time 0 to Last Blood Draw (AUC0-last)
71 days

The primary pharmacokinetic variables for assessment of bioequivalence are dose-normalized AUC0-last based on the equivalence criterion that AUC0-last least square mean ratios are bounded within the 90% confidence intervals, 80.00% - 125.00%.

Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve (AUC) - Time 0 to Infinity AUC0-∞)
71 days

The primary pharmacokinetic variables for assessment of bioequivalence are dose-normalized AUC0-∞, based on the equivalence criterion that AUC0-∞ least square mean ratios are bounded within the 90% confidence intervals, 80.00% - 125.00%.

Frequently asked questions about Hercules

What is Hercules?

Hercules is an investigational monoclonal antibody developed by Viatris Inc. (ticker VTRS). It has been studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial involving healthy adult male volunteers. The specific disease or condition Hercules is intended to treat has not been disclosed.

Who makes Hercules?

Hercules is being developed by Viatris Inc., which trades under the ticker symbol VTRS. Viatris is the sponsor of the Phase 1 clinical study of Hercules listed on ClinicalTrials.gov.

What phase is Hercules in?

Hercules is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational monoclonal antibody and has not been approved by the FDA. One Phase 1 trial has been completed, and no active trials are currently listed for Hercules.

What clinical trials is Hercules in?

Hercules has been evaluated in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT02594761, titled "Phase 1 Study of Trastuzumab Administered as a Single Intravenous Infusion." The trial enrolled 132 healthy male volunteers aged 18 years and older and used a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled design.

Is Hercules the same as trastuzumab?

The completed Phase 1 trial for Hercules, NCT02594761, is titled as a study of trastuzumab administered as a single intravenous infusion. This indicates Hercules is associated with trastuzumab in that trial record. Trastuzumab is a monoclonal antibody, matching the modality listed for Hercules.
