Corrected QT Interval Effects of Trastuzumab Emtansine (T-DM1) in Patients With Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer and the Safety and Tolerability of Combined T-DM1 and Pertuzumab in Patients With Early Disease Progression

Genentech, Inc.51 enrolled

Overview

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase II study designed to evaluate the effect of T-DM1 on the duration of corrected QT (QTc) interval in patients with HER2-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer and to make preliminary assessments regarding the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of combined T-DM1 and pertuzumab in patients with early disease progression. The QT interval is a measure of time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle. The QTcF interval is the QT interval as calculated using Fridericia's correction; the QTcB interval is the QT interval as calculated using Bazett's correction.

Change From Baseline in Mean Duration of the QTc Interval

The QT interval is a measure of time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle. The corrected QT interval was calculated using Fridericia's correction (QTcF) from electrocardiogram (ECG) data. Each participant had triplicate QTcF intervals measured at each timepoint and the average was calculated for each patient at each timepoint. For each timepoint, a participant's corresponding baseline QTcF interval was subtracted from the average QTcF intervals to create a baseline-adjusted average QTcF interval.
