• Heterogeneous tumor subtypes • Specific treatment (trastuzumab) only used in 3 trials so absolute overall differences in pCR were low (1‐11%) but high for NOAH (20%) with 13% difference in EFS • Factors unrelated to primary tumor response Neoadjuvant Pathway to Accelerated Approval Goal: to market highly effective drugs sooner – Not a lesser standard or “easy” route to market for marginal drugs – Target patients at high risk for recurrence and death – Utilize superiority designs – Design trials to detect a large improvement in pCR – Choose drugs with high likelihood of meaningfully improving long-term outcomes Tatiana M. Prowell, March 2013 Concerns about Neoadjuvant Pathway to Accelerated Approval • Delay between initial approval & confirmation of (or failure to confirm) clinical benefit • Limited data on cumulative toxicity (e.g., neuropathy) and rare/late toxicity (e.g., CHF, secondary malignancy) • Uncertainty about magnitude of improvement in pCR needed to improve EFS/OS – May vary by breast cancer subtype – Some patients with pCR will relapse and many with residual disease will not • Potential negative impacts on drug development – Assessing risks of drug studied first in early-stage breast cancer – Diminished drug development in advanced breast cancer Tatiana M. Prowell March 2013 Number of trials • Single Trial Model: – One large RCT to assess pCR & EFS/OS • Multi-Trial Model: – Accelerated approval based on smaller RCT(s) demonstrating large absolute improvement in pCR rate – Conversion to regular approval based on large RCT(s) with DFS/EFS/OS as primary endpoint Tatiana M. Prowell, March 2013 Panel Discussion Summary • Do we believe the advantages of granting accelerated approval (AA) based on a Neoadjuvant trial with pCR as endpoint outweighs the concerns? Does pCR predict clinical benefit? – Generally yes – Minimum improvement 20% – High risk only, 20-25% 5 year relative risk of recurrence Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee Meeting September 12, 2013 sBLA submission for Pertuzumab • “PERJETA is a HER2/neu receptor antagonist indicated for: Neoadjuvant treatment of breast cancer, in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel for patients with HER2‐positive, locally advanced, inflammatory, or early stage breast cancer (>2 cm in diameter) as part of a complete early breast cancer regimen containing either fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (FEC) or carboplatin NOAH Trial: 5 yr Outcomes EFS OS Gianni: Lancet Oncology (In Press) NeoSphere: Study design and objectives TH (n=107) docetaxel (75100 mg/m2) trastuzumab (86 mg/kg) Patients with operable or locally advanced /inflammatory* HER2‐positive BC Chemo‐naïve & primary tumors >2cm (N=417) • Phase II design S THP (n=107) docetaxel (75100 mg/m2) trastuzumab (86 mg/kg) pertuzumab (840420 mg) U HP (n=107) trastuzumab (86 mg/kg) pertuzumab (840420 mg) E TP (n=96) docetaxel (75100 mg/m2) pertuzumab (840420 mg) Study dosing: q3w x 4 R G R Y • Primary endpoint: Comparison of pCR rates TH vs THP TH vs HP THP vs TP • Secondary endpoints: Clinical response DFS Breast conservation rate Biomarker evaluation NeoSphere: Primary endpoint – pathologic complete response (breast only) (ITT population) p=0.0198 p=0.0141 50 p=0.003 pCR, % 95% CI 40 45.8 30 20 29.0 24.0 10 16.8 0 TH THP H, trastuzumab; P, pertuzumab; T, docetaxel p values from Cochran‐Mantel‐Haenszel test and adjusted for multiplicity HP TP Gianni L, et al.
