About this study

Official title: Phase II Randomized Double-Blind Evaluation of Two Dose Levels of LY353381 Hydrochloride Administered to Women With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using arzoxifene hydrochloride may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is comparing two different doses of arzoxifene hydrochloride to see how well it works in treating women with advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the response rate or clinical benefit rate in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer treated with 1 of 2 different doses of arzoxifene hydrochloride. II. Compare the response rates and clinical benefit rates for patients with tamoxifen-sensitive versus tamoxifen-refractory disease. III. Compare the degree of toxicity between the 2 doses of arzoxifene hydrochloride in these patients. IV. Compare the quality of life and survival of these patients receiving high versus low dose arzoxifene hydrochloride. V. Determine the time to progressive disease, time to treatment failure, and response duration of this treatment in these patients. VII. Measure changes in serum estradiol, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and sex hormone binding globulin in these patients during treatment.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double blind study. Patients are stratified according to number of metastatic sites (less than 3 vs 3 or more), tamoxifen sensitivity (sensitive vs refractory), and degree of estrogen receptor positivity (high vs low vs unknown). Patients are randomized to receive 1 of 2 doses of arzoxifene hydrochloride. Patients receive arzoxifene hydrochloride orally once daily for 12 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of toxicity and disease progression. Quality of life is assessed before, during, and at the completion of the study. Patients are followed every 4 weeks for 12 weeks, at 30 days after the last treatment, and every 2-3 months after the last treatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: This study will accrue 104-114 patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing arzoxifene hydrochloride in people with Breast Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site 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 24 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?
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 24 Jun 2013.
