Single arm, non-randomized, open label phase I/II multisite Simon two stage 
minimax trial. 
 
3.1  DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY 
Patients with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer who have progressed on at least 
one prior line of chemotherapy in combination with a HER2 targeting agent (i.e. 
T-DM1, trastuzumab, pertuzumab, or lapatinib) will be enrolled in this phase I/II 
single arm study.  
Screening/baseline testing following consent: 
  Review of clinical records for eligibility criteria 
  History and physical exam 
  Diagnostic quality CT scan of the thorax/abdomen/pelvis 
  Nuclear medicine bone scan should be performed for those with known or 
suspected bone metastases 
  Echocardiogram or MUGA scan 
  Complete metabolic panel and complete blood count with differential 
Patients should have all baseline evaluations completed and initiate study 
treatment within 28 days of signing consent. Routine CT scans that were done 
prior to consent but still fall within the 28 day window prior to the anticipated 
treatment start date may be used provided they are of adequate quality and can 
be reviewed by study site radiologists for measurable disease. Patients should 
have measurable disease on baseline scans and have target lesions selected 
as per RECIST 1.1 criteria (http://www.eortc.be/recist/). Qualified patients will 
then undergo central registration in Moffitt’s Oncore system, the study 
coordinator will be sent a confirmation with treatment assignment via fax or 
email, and then treatment is initiated.   
Phase I portion:

The phase I trial will start at the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for 
gemcitabine but will have a de-escalation dose levels in the event that an 
unacceptable toxicity requires dose reduction. 
Dose level 0 = gemcitabine (1200mg/m2) IV D1,8 q21 days 
Dose level -1 = gemcitabine (1000mg/m2) IV D1,8 q21 days 
Dose level -2 = gemcitabine (850mg/m2) IV D1,8 q21 days 
Trastuzumab will be given using an 8mg/kg loading dose on C1D1, followed by 
6mg/kg IV on subsequent cycles q21 days.  
Pertuzumab will be given using an 840mg IV loading dose on C1D1, followed by 
420mg IV on subsequent cycles q21 days.   
There will be no dose adjustments or reductions for either trastuzumab or 
pertuzumab. A sample order sheet is included in Appendix A for each of the 
agents along with the supportive premedications given during administration.  
The phase I trial will use a typical 3+3 design. The RP2D will be the dose level 
where 0-1 dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in six patients occur. Six patients 
should be treated at the RP2D to acquire sufficient safety data to proceed with 
the phase II portion of the study.  If 2 or more DLTs occur at a given dose level 
then accrual to that dose level is stopped and subsequent patients will be 
enrolled at the dose level below. In the event 2 DLTs occur at the -2 dose level 
then accrual to the trial will be held and discussions with the sponsor will take 
place to determine if there is a feasible protocol amendment that would allow the 
trial to continue or if the trial should be permanently closed. During the phase I 
portion of the study patients should be treated at least 1 week (+/- 2 days) apart 
to allow for a margin of safety. 
Phase I DLT definition: 
The definition of a DLT is any 1st cycle toxicity which meets the following criteria: 
G3 non-hematologic toxicity or G4 hematologic toxicity that is not expected 
with gemcitabine plus trastuzumab and not manageable with routine supportive 
care causing a delay of treatment greater than 3 weeks. 
Phase II Portion: 
The phase II portion of the study can commence as soon as the last patient on 
the phase I completes one cycle of therapy. It will be a single arm, open label, 
non randomized, Simon two stage minimax phase IIa. The first stage of the trial 
will enroll 20 patients. If there are 8 or fewer objective responses out of the first 
20 evaluable patients enrolled then the trial will stop early for futility. If 9 or more 
objective responses are seen in the first 20 evaluable patients, then the second 
stage of the trial consisting of 17 additional evaluable patients will commence. 
Patients will undergo consent, screening, central registration as previously 
described, and start treatment at the RP2D. Patients in the phase II can be 
initiated on treatment concurrently with no delay required between individual 
patients.

Evaluability of patients for endpoints: 
Any patient who receives any dose of the study treatment will be evaluated for 
the safety/toxicity endpoints in the trial. To be considered evaluable for the 
primary efficacy endpoint (ORR) the patient must undergo two treatment cycles 
followed by a response scan. Those un-evaluable for the efficacy endpoint may 
be replaced with approval from the study sponsor. 
3.2  RATIONALE FOR STUDY DESIGN 
The study population is patients with previously treated, metastatic HER2+ 
breast cancer.  The compelling reason for studying this particular population is 
that there is ample evidence that continued targeting of HER2 signaling through 
progression on prior HER2 directed therapy confers clinical benefit (i.e. 
Trastuzumab Beyond Progression study). With the inclusion of newer HER2 
targeted therapies such as first line pertuzumab combination therapy and T-
DM1, there is little data regarding the efficacy of pertuzumab/trastuzumab 
combined with salvage chemotherapy in previously treated patients. This trial 
seeks to provide some clinical information regarding safety and efficacy for 
gemcitabine/pertuzumab/trastuzumab in this patient population.   
3.3 OUTCOME  
MEASURES  
3.3.1  Primary Outcome Measure:  
Phase I: Establishing the recommended phase 2 dose for the combination of 
gemcitabine+trastuzumab+pertuzumab with safety data described using CTCAE 
4.0 terminology. 
Phase II: Objective response rate (CR+PR) using RECIST 1.1 criteria for the 
combination of gemcitabine+trastuzumab+pertuzumab at the recommended 
phase 2 dose. 
3.3.2 Secondary Outcome Measures: 
  Stable disease > 6 months, median progression free survival (in months) 
for all patients evaluable for response  
  Safety/toxicity using CTCAE 4.0 frequency data

period of 30 - 60 minutes.  DO NOT ADMINISTER AS AN IV PUSH OR 
BOLUS.   
When administered with pertuzumab, the recommended initial dose of 
trastuzumab is 8 mg/kg followed every 3 weeks thereafter by a dose of 6 mg/kg.  
If pertuzumab and trastuzumab are being administered concomitantly with 
chemotherapy, monoclonal antibody administration should precede 
chemotherapy administration.  Patients should be observed for fever and chills 
or other infusion-associated symptoms.  If chemotherapy is discontinued during 
the treatment phase, either because of completing a planned number of cycles 
of chemotherapy, or because of chemotherapy related toxicity.

4.3.5  Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab Dosage Modification 
Dose modification of trastuzumab and pertuzumab is not permitted.   
4.3.6  Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab Overdosage 
There is no experience with overdosage in human clinical trials.   
4.3.7  GEMCITABINE PREPARATION AND DOSING 
Refer to the full prescribing information for gemcitabine to obtain formulation and 
preparation information at 
 The initial dosing of 
the gemcitabine will be the recommended phase 2 dose identified in the phase 1 
portion of the study. 
 
4.3.8 GEMCITABINE DOSE REDUCTIONS/DELAYS 
 
The following dose reduction recommendations for subsequent day 1 dosing are 
described below. These dose reductions are permanent. Two dose reductions 


are allowed while on study. The first table is for hematologic toxicity and the 
second table is for non-hematologic toxicity. Any grade 2 or greater pneumonitis 
due to gemcitabine warrants discontinuation of gemcitabine permanently and 
administration of steroids. 
 
 
 
 
HEMATOLOGIC TOXICITIES 
 
 
 
NON-HEMATOLOGIC TOXICITIES 
 
 
 
Gemcitabine dosage adjustment for hematological toxicity within a cycle of 
treatment is based on the granulocyte and platelet counts taken on day 8 of 
therapy. If marrow suppression is detected, gemcitabine dosage should be 
modified according to guidelines in the table below.

If a day 8 gemcitabine dose is held due to toxicity then that dose will not be 
made up for the remainder of that cycle.  With the exception of pneumonitis as 
described previously, dosing on d8 should be held for any G3-4 non-
hematologic toxicity. Subsequent dosing should follow the same dose 
reductions shown in the table once the toxicity has resolved to a G0-1. In 
addition, physician judgment can be exercised in initiating subsequent cycle 
dose reductions for a grade 2 or less toxicity due to concerns over patient 
tolerance of the chemotherapy. 
 
4.4  CONCOMITANT AND EXCLUDED THERAPY 
All standard anti-emetics, supportive care medications, growth factors such as 
GCSF or pegylated GCSF are permitted while on study treatment. Concomitant 
bisphosphonates or denosumab for bone metastases are permitted if these 
agents were initiated prior to initiating the study therapy and patients are stable 
on these medications. Aspirin, platelet inhibiting agents, and anticoagulants are 
permitted only if they are absolutely medically necessary (i.e. treatment for 
DVTs/PEs or cardiac stents/CAD) and as long as they are held when medically 
indicated due to thrombocytopenia from gemcitabine. No other cytotoxic, 
targeted, or anti-hormonal agents intended to treat the underlying malignancy 
should be administered concurrently with the study treatment.

decline in LVEF, a repeat measure of LVEF will be obtained in 1 month to 
assess whether the decline has resolved. 
  Radiologic imaging for response assessment should be obtained at baseline 
and after every 6 weeks (+/- 3 days) of study therapy. This includes diagnostic 
CT of thorax/abdomen/pelvis with contrast, and bone scans in patients with 
known or suspected bone metastases.   
4.5.2 Follow-Up Assessments 
Patients would be followed up 30 days after last study therapy, or in the event of 
a study treatment related adverse event until resolution, stabilization, or death. 
Follow up intervals for these adverse events will be as clinically indicated by 
their treating oncologist.  
4.6  DISCONTINUATION OF PROTOCOL-SPECIFIED THERAPY 
Protocol-specified therapy may be discontinued for any of the following reasons: 
 Progressive 
disease 
 Unacceptable 
toxicity 
 Pregnancy 
on 
study 
  Patient non-compliance or election to discontinue therapy (for any reason) 
 Physician’s 
judgment 
  Adverse event causing a dosing delay of greater than 28 days 
 
4.7  SUBJECT  
DISCONTINUATION 
Subjects may be discontinued for any of the reasons outlined in section 4.6. 
Patients experiencing study treatment related adverse events requiring 
discontinuation should be treated as medically indicated by their treating 
oncologist. The patient should be followed until the adverse event has 
stabilized/resolved or death. Patients discontinuing prematurely for non-adverse 
event related issues should be followed up 30 days from the last study 
treatment. Patients who are non-evaluable for the primary endpoint due to 
premature discontinuation can be replaced with approval from the study sponsor 
and IRB (if applicable).  
4.8  STUDY  
DISCONTINUATION  
Genentech Study Center and the Principal Investigator have the right to 
terminate this study at any time.  Reasons for terminating the study may include 
the following: 
  The incidence or severity of adverse events in this or other studies indicates a 
potential health hazard to subjects (see early stopping rule 4.8.1) 
  Subject enrollment is unsatisfactory 


Protocol:  Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 
30/P {Protocol Number} 
 
280513 
 
  Data recording are inaccurate or incomplete 
  Study protocol not followed 
4.8.1 Early stopping rule for toxicity: There will be an interim analysis for 
toxicity after the first stage of the phase II trial (20 patients) has completed 
accrual. The study will terminate early for excessive toxicity if >50% of the 
patients experience a study treatment related (probably or definitely) grade 3/4 
toxicity requiring permanent discontinuation of treatment despite appropriate 
supportive care/dose reductions.  
4.9  STATISTICAL  
METHODS  
4.9.1  Analysis of the Conduct of the Study 
All data regarding subject enrollment, patient flow, patient demographics, 
performance status, prior therapy, screening success/failures, number of study 
treatments administered, disposition, and follow up will be captured via eCRFs 
into the Oncore study system. Descriptive statistics will be used to characterize 
the study patients. Patients who receive at least one treatment on study are 
eligible for safety analyses. Patients who receive at least two cycles of therapy 
followed by response scans will be evaluable for the efficacy analyses.  
4.9.2  Analysis of Treatment Group Comparability 
Selected exploratory retrospective subset analyses will be undertaken only 
when possible to evaluate impact of demographics, lines of prior treatment (1 or 
>1), prior pertuzumab exposure, or performance status (0-1 or 2).   
 
4.9.3  Efficacy Analysis  
Primary Endpoints:  
Phase I: Establishing the RP2D of gemcitabine/pertuzumab/trastuzumab  
based on safety/feasibility. Toxicity events will be tabulated and summarized 
for all patients at each dose level using CTCAE 4.0 criteria.  The dose level at 
which 0-1 DLTs occur in six patients (as defined in section 3.1) will be selected 
as the RP2D.   
Phase II: Overall response rate (CR+PR) (ORR) using RECIST 1.1 criteria: 
The 95% confidence interval for the response rate will be calculated based on 
the exact binomial distribution. Those patients in the phase I and phase II 
portions who have undergone at least two cycles of therapy at the RP2D 
followed by a response scan will be evaluable for this primary endpoint.  
Secondary Endpoints: 
Median progression free survival (in months): The time-to-event data will be 
summarized using Kaplan-Meir curve method for all patients who are evaluable 
for the ORR endpoint. 
Clinical benefit rate (CR+PR+SD) using RECIST 1.1 criteria: Defined as 
proportion of patients evaluable for response who attain a complete response,

  
It results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (i.e., the AE 
results in substantial disruption of the subject’s ability to conduct normal life 
functions). 
  
It results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect in a neonate/infant born to a 
mother exposed to the IMP. 
  
It is considered a significant medical event by the investigator based on 
medical judgment (e.g., may jeopardize the subject or may require 
medical/surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above). 
 
5.2    METHODS AND TIMING FOR ASSESSING AND RECORDING 
SAFETY VARIABLES 
 
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that all AEs and SAEs that are 
observed or reported during the study, are collected and reported to the FDA, 
appropriate IRB(s), and Genentech, Inc. in accordance with CFR 312.32 (IND 
Safety Reports).  
Adverse Event Reporting Period 
The study period during which all AEs and SAEs must be reported begins after 
informed consent is obtained and initiation of study treatment and ends 30 days 
following the last administration of study treatment or study 
discontinuation/termination, whichever is earlier. After this period, investigators 
should only report SAEs that are attributed to prior study treatment. 
Assessment of Adverse Events 
All AEs and SAEs whether volunteered by the subject, discovered by study 
personnel during questioning, or detected through physical examination, 
laboratory test, or other means will be reported appropriately. Each reported AE 
or SAE will be described by its duration (i.e., start and end dates), regulatory 
seriousness criteria if applicable, suspected relationship to the study treatment 
(see following guidance), and actions taken. 
 
To ensure consistency of AE and SAE causality assessments, investigators 
should apply the following general guideline: 
Yes 
There is a plausible temporal relationship between the onset of the AE and 
administration of the study treatment, and the AE cannot be readily explained by 
the subject’s clinical state, intercurrent illness, or concomitant therapies; and/or 
the AE follows a known pattern of response to the study treatment; and/or the 
AE abates or resolves upon discontinuation of the study treatment or dose 
reduction and, if applicable, reappears upon re-challenge. 
No 
Evidence exists that the AE has an etiology other than the study treatment (e.g., 
preexisting medical condition, underlying disease, intercurrent illness, or 
concomitant medication); and/or the AE has no plausible temporal relationship 


Protocol:  Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 
36/P {Protocol Number} 
 
280513 
 
to study treatment administration (e.g., cancer diagnosed 2 days after first dose 
of study drug). 
 
Expected adverse events are those adverse events that are listed or 
characterized in the Package Insert or current Investigator Brochure.  
 
Unexpected adverse events are those not listed in the Package Insert (P.I.) or 
current Investigator Brochure (I.B.) or not identified. This includes adverse 
events for which the specificity or severity is not consistent with the description 
in the P.I. or I.B. For example, under th
is definition, hepatic necrosis would be 
unexpected if the P.I. or I.B. only referred to elevated hepatic enzymes or 
hepatitis. 
 
5.3    PROCEDURES FOR ELICITING, RECORDING, AND REPORTING 
ADVERSE EVENTS 
Eliciting Adverse Events 
A consistent methodology for eliciting AEs at all subject evaluation timepoints 
should be adopted. Examples of non-directive questions include:  
  
“How have you felt since your last clinical visit?” 
  
“Have you had any new or changed health problems since you were last      
here?”  
Specific Instructions for Recording Adverse Events 
Investigators should use correct medical terminology/concepts when reporting 
AEs or SAEs. Avoid colloquialisms and abbreviations. 
a. 
Diagnosis vs. Signs and Symptoms 
If known at the time of reporting, a diagnosis should be reported rather than 
individual signs and symptoms (e.g., record only liver failure or hepatitis rather 
than jaundice, asterixis, and elevated transaminases). However, if a 
constellation of signs and/or symptoms cannot be medically characterized as a 
single diagnosis or syndrome at the time of reporting, it is ok to report the 
information that is currently available. If a diagnosis is subsequently established, 
it should be reported as follow-up information. 
b.
 Deaths
 
All deaths that occur during the protocol-specified AE reporting period (see 
Section 5.1.2), regardless of attribution, will be reported to the appropriate 
parties. When recording a death, the event or condition that caused or 
contributed to the fatal outcome should be reported as the single medical 
concept. If the cause of death is unknown and cannot be ascertained at the time 
of reporting, report “Unexplained Death”. 
c.
 Preexisting
 
Medical
 
Conditions
 
A preexisting medical condition is one that is present at the start of the study. 
Such conditions should be reported as medical and surgical history. A

   APPENDIX B Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 
(RECIST 1.1 Criteria) 
 
 
The RECIST 1.1 criteria should be used to assess response to treatment.  Only 
subjects with measurable disease should be entered in the study.  Measurable 
disease is defined as the presence of one lesion that can be accurately 
measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as 
2.0 cm with conventional techniques (or as 1.0 cm by spiral CT).  Evaluable 
lesions should be followed for the assessment of response.  Non-measurable 
lesions include bone lesions, leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural/pericardial 
effusion, lymphangitic carcinomatosis, abdominal masses that are not confirmed 
by CT, and cystic lesions. 
All measurable lesions, up to a maximum of 2 lesions per organ and 5 lesions in 
total, representative of all involved organs, should be identified as target lesions 
and recorded and measured at baseline.  A sum of the longest diameter for all 
target lesions will be calculated and reported as the baseline sum longest 
diameter.  The baseline sum longest diameter will be used as the reference by 
which to characterize the objective tumor response. 
  
Complete response (CR) 
Disappearance of all evidence of tumor for at least two cycles of therapy.  Tumor 
markers must be normal. 
 Partial
 
response
 
At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, 
taking a reference the baseline sum longest diameter. 
  
Stable disease (SD)  
Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase 
to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum longest 
diameter since the treatment started. 
  
Progressive disease (PD) 
At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, 
taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the 
beginning of treatment or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST Criteria) 
 
  
Clinical progressive disease 
Subjects, who in the opinion of the treating physician investigator have had 
a substantial decline in their performance status and have clinical evidence 
of progressive disease may be classified as having progressive disease.

HFSA Guidelines 
Criteria for NYHA functional classification for chronic heart failure patients, 
functional capacity (130) 
 
CLASS 1   
No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue 
fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea. 
 
CLASS 2   
Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest, but ordinary physical 
activity results in fatigue, palpitation or dyspnea. 
 
CLASS 3   
Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest, but less than ordinary 
activity causes fatigue, palpitation or dyspnea. 
 
CLASS 4   
Unable to carry out any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of cardiac 
insufficiency at rest. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort is 
increased.
