Scientific title | Effect of peri-operative anti-HER2 therapy on early breast cancer: a randomised phase III open-label multicentre clinical trial |
Study acronym | EPHOS-B |
Study objectives | The EPHOS-B study will test the hypothesis that peri-operative anti-HER2 therapy causes a significant increase in tumour apoptosis and a significant decrease in tumour cell proliferation. Please note that as of 19/02/10 this record has been updated. All updates can be found in the relevant field with the above update date. Please also note that the start and end dates of this trial have been updated from 01/06/2009 and 01/12/2009 to 01/04/2010 and 01/11/2021 respectively. This includes the follow up period. |
Ethics approval(s) |
Approved 12/01/2010, West Midlands Research Ethics Committee (1st Floor, NHSBT Newcastle Blood Donor Centre, Holland Drive, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE2 4NQ, United Kingdom; +44 (0)2071048357; edgbaston.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 09/H1208/52 |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Early breast cancer |
Intervention | Current information as of 19/02/10: Group I: control (i.e. no peri-operative treatment) Group II: trastuzumab 6 mg/kg intravenous (iv) given on days 1 and 8 pre-surgery, and 2 mg/kg iv on day 15 post-operatively Group III: Lapatinib 1500mg/day p.o. continuously for 28 days, starting 11 days (± 1 day) pre-surgery. Initial information at time of registration: Group I: control (i.e. no peri-operative treatment) Group II: trastuzumab 6 mg/kg intravenous (iv) given on days 1 and 8 pre-surgery, and 2 mg/kg iv on days 15 and 22 post-operatively Group III: lapatinib 1500 mg/day orally (p.o.) for approximately 6 weeks, starting 11 days (± 1 day) pre-operatively and continued for 4 weeks post-operatively Patients should be followed-up 28 days after surgery and then every 6 months until the end of year 2. Patients will then be followed up annually for at least 10 years after completion of recruitment.

Intervention type | Drug |
Pharmaceutical study type(s) | |
Phase | Phase III |
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Trastuzumab, lapatinib |
Primary outcome measure | 1. Increase in apoptosis: change in the tumour (morphological apoptosis and activated caspase 3) measured at diagnosis and at surgery 2. Fall in proliferation between diagnosis and surgery: change in proliferation measured by Ki67 immunohistochemical assessment (%) at diagnosis and at surgery |
Secondary outcome measures | 1. Changes in the angiogenic serum markers vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), VEGF-R1 and CD105, measured at diagnosis, surgery (plus also tumour CD31) and 28 days post-surgery 2. To establish if the expression of molecular markers (epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR], Her-3, insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor [IGF1R], c-myc, Akt, p-ERK, pS6 Kinase, activated Src, or truncated p95HER-2 expression) predict increases in apoptosis or decreases in proliferation in response to therapy |
Overall study start date | 01/04/2010 |
Completion date | 19/12/2022 |
