About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial Of PS-341 In Metastatic Breast Cancer

PS-341 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of PS-341 in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the efficacy of PS-341, in terms of response rate, in women with metastatic breast cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the clinical activity of this drug, in terms of progression-free survival, in these women.

II. Determine the toxicity profile and tolerability of this drug in these women.

III. Determine the pharmacodynamics of this drug in these women.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive PS-341 IV over 3-5 seconds twice weekly on weeks 1 and 2. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 12-35 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-12 months.

Being tested
bortezomib, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Objective tumor response (CR + PR)

    The agent would be of definite interest for further investigation if the associated response rate is at least 30% (p1), and would not be of further interest if the response rate is below 10% (p0).

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to progression

    Will be reported using the Kaplan-Meier method with 95% confidence intervals indicated.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Overall survival

    Will be reported using the Kaplan-Meier method with 95% confidence intervals indicated.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  3. Correlation between variations in the serum levels of adhesion molecules and angiogenic factors

    Will be evaluated and descriptive analysis will be performed.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  4. Tissue markers of biological activity

    Will be described in case of lesions amenable to tissue biopsy. The plasma pharmacodynamics of PS-341 as measured by the 20S-proteosome assay, will be used to measured the biological activity of the drug and correlated with response to treatment and variations in biomarkers.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bortezomib and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Recurrent Breast Cancer and Stage IV Breast Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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?

The sponsor lists 48 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. 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 23 Jan 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective tumor response (CR + PR) (time frame: Up to 24 months). 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 23 Jan 2013.
