Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of ISIS 5132 with ISIS 3521 in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer that has not responded to previous therapy.

About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Study of Human C-raf Kinase Antisense Oligonucleotide Isis 5132 (CGP 69846A) or Human Pkc-Alpha Antisence Oligonucleotide ISIS 3521 (CGP 64128A) in Women With Previously Treated Matastatic Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of ISIS 5132 with ISIS 3521 in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer that has not responded to previous therapy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Estimate the proportion of women with previously treated metastatic breast cancer who are progression free at 4 months after receiving ISIS 5132 or ISIS 3521. II. Determine duration of response to these treatment regimens in this patient population. III. Evaluate toxicities and tolerability of these treatment regimens in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to number of prior therapies for metastatic breast cancer (1 vs 2). Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms. (Arm I closed 12/22/99) Arm I: Patients receive ISIS 5132 IV continuously over 21 days. (closed 12/22/99) Arm II: Patients receive ISIS 3521 IV continuously over 21 days. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After every 2 courses, patients are evaluated for response. Patients are followed every 3 months for the first 2 years, every 6 months the next 3 years, then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 68 patients (34 per arm) will be accrued in this study (Arm I closed 12/22/99).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ISIS 3521 and ISIS 5132 in people with Breast Cancer, run by Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group at 6 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00003236, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jun 2023.
