Abstract OT-28-01: HER2CLIMB-02: A randomized, double-blind, phase 3 study of tucatinib or placebo with T-DM1 for unresectable locally-advanced or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Background - Tucatinib (TUC), an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) highly selective for HER2 with minimal inhibition of EGFR, is approved in the US for use in combination with trastuzumab (Tras) and capecitabine for treatment (tx) of adult patients (pts) with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer (MBC), including pts with brain metastases (BM), who have received 1 or more prior anti-HER2-based regimens in the metastatic setting. Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1), approved for tx of pts with HER2+ MBC after Tras and a taxane, has led to significant improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Still, further improvements are needed, including pts with active BM. A phase 1b trial evaluated TUC (300 mg PO BID) with T-DM1 in 50 pts with HER2+ MBC who received prior tx with Tras and a taxane (Borges 2018). Common AEs included nausea (72%), diarrhea (60%), and fatigue (56%); mostly grade 1/2. Median PFS was 8.2 months and the objective response rate (ORR) in pts with measurable disease (n=34) was 47%. Sixty percent of pts treated with TUC + T-DM1 had BM at baseline and showed a brain specific response rate (RECISTv1.1) of 36% in pts with measurable BM. This encouraging clinical activity, including in pts with BM, provides rationale for a randomized trial to further evaluate this combination. Trial design - HER2CLIMB-02 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 study to evaluate efficacy and safety of TUC + T-DM1 in pts with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer; ~460 pts will be randomized 1:1 to receive 21-day cycles of TUC (300 mg PO BID) or placebo with T-DM1 (3.6 mg/kg IV). Pts must have had prior tx with Tras and a taxane in any setting, be ≥18 yrs, with an ECOG ≤1 and histologically confirmed HER2+ MBC. Prior tx with any investigational antiHER2 or anti-EGFR agent or HER2 TKI is not permitted. Prior pertuzumab tx is allowed, but not required. Baseline brain MRIs are required for all pts; pts with stable, progressing, or untreated BM not requiring immediate local therapy are eligible. While on tx, radiographic disease evaluations (RECISTv1.1) will occur every 6 weeks for the first 24 weeks, and then every 9 weeks. The primary endpoint is PFS per investigator, with OS and ORR as key secondary endpoints. Enrollment is ongoing in the US (NCT03975647) and planned for Canada, the EU, and the Asia/Pacific region.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
