What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Tumor Response

    Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence using World Health Organization (WHO) criteria that defines when participants improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable"), or worsen ("progression") during treatment.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease (eight 21-day cycles of therapy and follow-up period was 24 months starting from the date of the last drug administration. Data collected every 4 months.)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Duration of Response

    The duration of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of progression or death as a result of any cause.

    Measured: first documented complete or partial response to measured progressive disease (eight 21-day cycles of therapy and follow-up period was 24 months starting from the date of the last drug administration.)

  2. Time to Progressive Disease

    Defined as the time from study enrollment to the first date of disease progression.

    Measured: first active treatment dose to measured progressive disease (eight 21-day cycles of therapy and follow-up period was 24 months starting from the date of the last drug administration.)

  3. Time to Treatment Failure

    Defined as the time from study enrollment to the first observation of disease progression, death as a result of any cause, or early discontinuation of treatment.

    Measured: first active treatment dose to last contact for patients, death as a result of any cause, or early discontinuation of treatment (eight 21-day cycles of therapy and follow-up period was 24 months starting from the date of the last drug administration.)

  4. Survival Time

    Overall survival is the duration from enrollment to death due to any cause.

    Measured: first active treatment dose to date of death due to any cause (eight 21-day cycles of therapy and follow-up period was 24 months starting from the date of the last drug administration.)

  5. Number of Participants With Maximum Common Toxicity Criteria-National Cancer Institute Toxicity (CTC-NCI) of Gemcitabine-Cisplatin Combination

    The CTC provides descriptive terminology for adverse event reporting. A grading (severity) scale is provided for each adverse event term. Grades range from 0 (none) to 5 (death).

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (eight 21-day cycles of therapy)

  6. Number of Participants With Hematology Maximum Common Toxicity Criteria - National Cancer Institute Grades

    Maximum CTC-NCI toxicity grade for hematology. Grades range from 0 (none) to 5 (death).

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (eight 21-day cycles of therapy)

  7. Number of Deaths

    Measured: Baseline through follow-up (eight 21-day cycles of therapy and follow-up period was 24 months starting from the date of the last drug administration.)

  8. Number of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation

    Measured: Baseline through eight 21-day cycles

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Gemcitabine and cisplatin in people with Breast Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 2 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 11 Nov 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany, Russia. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Aug 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 (time frame: baseline to measured progressive disease (eight 21-day cycles of therapy and follow-up period was 24 months starting from the date of the last drug administration. Data collected every 4 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 11 Nov 2009.
