Trial design

Randomised, open-label, three arms comparing neratinib administration strategies: (1) neratinib plus loperamide prophylaxis; (2) neratinib with initial dose escalation plus loperamide administered as needed (prn); (3) neratinib plus loperamide plus colesevelam prophylaxis. (no per-arm dose and schedule details provided in the ctis record.)-controlled Phase II trial in Spain, Croatia, Italy and others.

Male patient with female partner of childbearing potential must agree and commit with his female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception (i.e., any of the above methods, or for females, hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation) while on treatment and for 3 months after last dose of medicinal products.\n- Recovery (i.e., to Grade 1 or baseline) from all clinically significant adverse events (AEs) related to prior therapies (excluding alopecia, neuropathy, and nail changes).\n- Provide written, informed consent to participate in the study and follow the study procedures.\n- Histologically confirmed Stage IB through Stage IIIC primary adenocarcinoma of the breast according to the 8th edition of the TNM Classification of Breast Cancer, by the UICC (Union for International Cancer Control). (Clarification note: in patients with surgery as their first treatment approach, the pathological stage will be used; in patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy, the higher staging will be used).\n- Documented HER2-positive disease based on local laboratory determination according to ASCO/CAP 2018 criteria.\n- Documented hormone receptor-positive (HR+) disease, defined as oestrogen receptor (ER) and/or progesterone receptor (PR) ≥1% based on local laboratory determination.\n- Patients must have completed prior neoadjuvant/adjuvant trastuzumab-based therapy (eg, trastuzumab-based treatments including trastuzumab-emtansine [T-DM1]) or experienced side effects that resulted in early discontinuation of trastuzumab-based therapy that have since resolved (pertuzumab therapy is accepted but not mandatory).\n- The last dose of trastuzumab-based therapy must have been given to the patient >2 weeks and ≤1 year (365 days) before first dose of neratinib.\n- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% measured by multiple-gated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiogram (ECHO).\n- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) status of 0 or 1.\n- Negative β-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) pregnancy test for premenopausal women of reproductive capacity (those who are biologically capable of having children) and for women less than 12 months after menopause. [Women are considered postmenopausal if they are ≥ 12 months without menses, in the absence of endocrine or anti-endocrine therapies]."}
