Title of the study 
A multicenter, randomised, phase III study of vinflunine plus capecitabine versus capecitabine alone in patients with advanced 
breast cancer previously treated with an anthracycline and a taxane (L00070 IN 311 B0). 
Coordinating investigators: Binghe Xu 
Planned number of study centres:  
26 centres have been active in China, Singapore and Taiwan. 
Study rationale 
Options for the treatment of patients who have progressed after an anthracycline and a taxane are limited. Capecitabine currently 
has a role in this setting, yet as many as 80% of patients do not respond to this treatment and those who respond eventually 
develop clinical resistance. 
The antitumour activity of vinflunine has been demonstrated in patients with breast cancer after exposure to anthracycline and to 
taxane. 
Vinflunine plus capecitabine has been shown to be a feasible combination for patients previously treated with an anthracycline 
and a taxane. Each drug in combination can be administered at efficacious doses. 
This population has few therapeutic options with established clinical benefit. The development of a new regimen and potential 
new standard of care for this group is important. 
Period of inclusion  
Q3 2013 to Q4 2014  
Clinical phase Phase III 
Objectives 
- Primary objective: 
• 
To compare in patients with advanced breast cancer pretreated with anthracycline and taxane the efficacy of the 
combination of vinflunine and capecitabine with capecitabine alone, in terms of progression-free survival. 
- Secondary objectives: 
The secondary objectives listed below will be no more evaluated: 
• 
 To evaluate the response rate, the time to response and the duration of response in both arms 
• 
 To compare the disease control rate between arms 
• 
 To evaluate the duration of disease control in both arms 
• 
 To evaluate the overall survival in both arms 
 
Except following secondary objective, which will be evaluated: 
• 
 To evaluate safety

Methodology 
This multicentre, open-label, randomised, Phase III study planned to enrol a total of 334 patients. The sponsor decided to stop the 
recruitment after enrolment of a total of 112 patients with advanced breast cancer who have previously been treated with an 
anthracycline and a taxane. Patients will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive VFL plus capecitabine (Arm A) or capecitabine 
alone (Arm B). 
Randomisation will be stratified according to : 
1. Karnofsky Performance Status (“90-100%” versus “70-80%”), 
2. Visceral involvement (yes versus no), visceral lesions include one of the following : liver, lung, pleura (including pleural 
effusion), heart (including pericardial effusion), peritoneum (including abdominal ascites), spleen and adrenal glands, 
3. Investigator site. 
Number of patients  
 A sample size of 167 patients per arm was planned.  Following the sponsor decision, a total of 112 patients have been enrolled in 
this. The inclusions are now closed.

In addition, patients will receive capecitabine which will be self administered in the outpatient setting. Patients will take 825 mg/m² 
twice daily orally for 14 consecutive days beginning on day 1 of each cycle followed by 1 week of rest.  
A cycle of therapy is defined as 3 weeks.

Clinical safety will be assessed by: 
• 
complete history of malignant and non malignant disease. 
• 
full physical examination including vital signs, weight, PS, and neurological examination 
• 
ECG at baseline and at the end of treatment 
• 
regular reporting of adverse events that will be graded by using NCI CTCAE version 3.0

Statistical methods 
As the final population size is much lower than the population size required to ensure adequate statistical power, , the 
collection of data will be stopped and the analyses will be performed when patients have either completed the end of 
treatment period or completed 35 cycles. As patients are not followed until progression, the results should be not 
representative and they will only be used as exploratory data. 
The primary objective of this study is to show the superiority of the vinflunine plus capecitabine combination (arm A) versus 
capecitabine alone (arm B) in terms of progression-free survival in breast cancer patients after anthracycline and taxane 
failure. 
It is assumed that the median progression-free survival will be 4.0 months for the control arm (arm B). The goal of the study 
is to show a PFS improvement of 1.5 months (HR=0.727) i.e. a median PFS of 5.5 months for the VFL plus capecitabine 
arm.  
Using a two sided log-rank test with a target type I error α = 5%, it is required to observe 310 events (progression or death)  
in order to have a 80% power (1 - β) to show a statistically significant PFS difference when the true hazard ratio is 0.727. 
An approximately 24 months accrual period was planned for the 334 patients. Following the decision to stop the recruitment, 
the statistical analysis will be actually conducted on the 112 randomised patients and only descriptive analyses will be 
performed on the ITT population. 
The primary efficacy analysis will be the description of median PFS in the ITT population.. 
The safety analysis will be performed in the evaluable population for safety. Haematological parameters (WBC, ANC, 
platelets, haemoglobin), febrile neutropenia, biochemical parameters (ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, total 
bilirubin) and non haematological toxicities will be assessed. The NCI CTCAE version 3.0 will be used except hand-foot-
syndrome which will be graded using Roche Hand-Foot-Syndrome Grading Scale. 
End of study 
The end of study is the date of the last patient study treatment administration plus 30 days (EOT). 
No follow up period assessments will be performed subsequently to the approval of the amendment PA06: 
-Patients under treatment will stop the study at End Of Treatment (EOT) 
-Patients under follow up will stop the study immediately.
