About this study
Official title: Single Agent Docetaxel for Metastatic Breast Cancer in Patients Aged 70 Years and Older (and in a Cohort of Patients Younger Than 60 Years)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of docetaxel in treating older women who have metastatic breast cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the feasibility of treating elderly women with metastatic breast cancer with docetaxel.
- Determine the overall survival, 2-year survival, and response (confirmed and unconfirmed complete and partial) in patients treated with this drug.
- Determine the toxicity and tolerability of this drug in these patients.
- Determine the feasibility of using standardized self-report measures of comorbidity, depression, and functional status in elderly cancer patients.
- Determine the parameters of clinical pharmacology of this drug in elderly patients and in patients under 60 years of age.
- Determine, preliminarily, the genetic polymorphisms and gene expression levels of enzymes involved in drug metabolism and resistance in patients treated with this drug.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to age (70 and over vs under 60).
Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 3 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 80 patients (60 patients age 70 and over and 20 patients under age 60) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing docetaxel in people with Breast Cancer, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network.
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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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 was stopped early (reason given: poor accrual). Results are not available in the source record.
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.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Study treatment feasibility (time frame: monthly for duration of accrual). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
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 Jan 2013.
