| Breast Cancer | Drug: Trastuzumab Injectable Solution Drug: Trastuzumab Injectable Product Drug: Trastuzumab Injection | Phase 3 |
Approximately 195 patients will be included to receive subcutaneous trastuzumab a fixed dose of 600 mg every 3 weeks for 4 cycles (2 administered from the injection of a vial with a syringe and 2 with the injection device). Following administration of these four cycles, the patient will decide whether or not to continue with the subcutaneous formulation of trastuzumab every 3 weeks until progression (out of the study). Since the randomization in the study until the start with subcutaneous trastuzumab, patients will receive a treatment cycle of intravenous trastuzumab as usual.
Main objective: Proportion of patients indicate a preference for the use of subcutaneous vs intravenous trastuzumab.
This principal primary objective will be analyzed with the answers to questionnaire of experiences and preferences of the patients (Principal endpoint) The duration of the study has been estimated after 34 months.
| Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
| Actual Enrollment : | 166 participants |
| Allocation: | Randomized |
| Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
| Intervention Model Description: | Eligible patients, from the randomization and before starting subcutaneous trastuzumab (SC-t), received an additional intravenous (IV-t) cycle. After receiving this cycle, patients started the treatment with the study medication, SC-t at a fixed dose of 600 mg every 3 weeks (+3 days) for 4 cycles (2 administered from the injection of a vial in a syringe and 2 with the single-use injection device [SID]), being randomized 1:1 in two arms of treatment without washout period:

- Percentage of Participants With Subcutaneous vs. Intravenous Treatment Preference [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]The percentage of patients who indicate a preference for the use of the intravenous vs subcutaneous administration of trastuzumab was analyzed with the answer to the questionnaire C2, question number 39 (All things considered, what method of administration do you prefer? Subcutaneous; Intravenous; No preference) of experiences and preferences of the patient.
- Percentage of Participants With Subcutaneous Treatment (Vial vs Device Administration) Preference [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]The percentage of patients who indicate a preference for the use of SC administration by vial or device was analyzed. This was discussed in the answer to questionaire C3, question number 28 (All things considered, what method of administration do you prefer? Subcutaneous; Intravenous; No preference) of the questionnaire of experiences and preferences of the patient.
- Percentage of Medical Staff With Intravenous vs. Subcutaneous Preference [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]
The medical staff satisfaction was analyzed with the answers to question number 33a (Considering all aspects, with what method of administration were you more satisfied? Between Intravenous vs. Subcutaneous: Intravenous; Subcutaneous; No differences) of the questionnaire of experiences and preferences of the medical staff.
Health care professionals were not considered enrolled, but did contribute to this assessment.
- Percentage of Medical Staff Subcutaneous Device vs. Vial Preference [ Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks ]The medical staff satisfaction was analyzed with the answers to question number 33b (Considering all aspects, with what method of administration were you more satisfied? Between Vial vs. Device: Preferred device; Preferred vial; No Preference) of the questionnaire of experiences and preferences of the medical staff. Health care professionals were not considered enrolled, but did contribute to this assessment.
- Patient Time in Healthcare Unit and Sitting in Chair/Bed [ Time Frame: An average of 4 months ]
Time spent by patient in the healthcare unit: Time between entrance and exit from the healthcare unit.
Time spent by patient sitting in the infusion/treatment chair/bed: Time between sitting and rising from the patient treatment chair/bed The data was collected by qualified observers from site staff that measured the time spent by healthcare professional using a chronometer, and write it down in the paper questionnaires or directly or after in the electronic case report form.
- The Number of Participants Who Experienced Adverse Events (AE) [ Time Frame: Through study treatment, an average of 12 weeks ]Safety was assessed by standard clinical and laboratory tests (haematology, serum chemistry). AE grade were defined by the NCI CTCAE (National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) version 4.03.
