A Phase II/III, Randomised, Two-Arm, Comparison of Maintenance Lapatinib Versus Placebo After First-Line Chemotherapy in Patients With HER1 and/or HER2 Overexpressing Locally Advanced or Metastatic Bladder Cancer [LaMB]
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare progression-free survival in patients with HER1- and/or HER2-overexpressing
stage IV bladder cancer who have been randomized to maintenance therapy with lapatinib
ditosylate or placebo following first-line chemotherapy.
Secondary
- Compare overall survival between these patient groups.
- Evaluate the safety and tolerability of the regimens in these patients.
- Assess and compare quality of life between these patient groups.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to ECOG performance
status and response to first line chemotherapy (complete or partial response vs stable
disease). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
- Arm I: Patients receive oral lapatinib ditosylate once daily in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo once daily in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients undergo quality of life assessment by EORTC QLQ-C30 at baseline and every 4 weeks
during study treatment.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for up to 5
years.
