Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histological or cytological diagnosis of breast carcinoma with evidence of unresectable, locally recurrent, or metastatic disease. Lesions should not be amenable to surgery or radiation of curative intent.
  • Presence of metastatic or local-regional recurrent disease, according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer
  • Uni-dimensionally measurable lesions with clearly defined margin that are clearly measurable by following methods according to computerized tomography (CT), Chest x-ray or clinical examination, according to RECIST criteria
  • Patients with unresectable, locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who, were pre-treated with anthracyclines with/without taxanes (paclitaxel, docetaxel)containing chemotherapy either in neoadjuvant/adjuvant or 1st line metastatic setting will be enrolled into the study. Prior chemotherapy has to be terminated 4 weeks prior. Study randomization and disease progression under this therapy has to be documented, also patients must have completely recovered from all acute chemotherapy related toxicities (with exception of alopecia).
  • Prior radiotherapy must be completed at least 30 days before study entry. Patients must have recovered from the acute toxic effects of the treatment prior to study enrollment (except for alopecia). Lesions that have been radiated cannot be included as sites of measurable disease unless clear tumor progression has been documented in these lesions since the end of radiation therapy.

Who cannot join

  • Have received treatment within the last 30 days with an investigational drug for any indication before study entry.
  • Concurrent administration of other tumor therapy, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, surgery of cancer, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy and immunotherapy (including Herceptin)
  • Active infection that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate therapy, unless adequately treated.
  • Serious concomitant disorders that would compromise the safety of the patient or compromise the patient's ability to complete the study, at the discretion of the investigator.
  • Second primary malignancy that is clinically detectable at the time of consideration for study enrollment(except in situ carcinoma of cervix or adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of skin)

About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase II Study of the Combination of Gemcitabine (Gemzar) Plus Cisplatin Single Dose Versus Split Dose in the Treatment of Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer After Failure of Anthracyclines an/or Taxanes

This is an open label, two arms, randomized, unblinded phase 2 study in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have been previously treated with anthracycline with/without taxane based regimen in the adjuvant/neoadjuvant or 1st line metastatic setting. Gemcitabine will be administered via intravenous infusion over approximately 30 minutes at a dose of 1250mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 of each 21-day cycle. In arm A:Cisplatin will be given via intravenous infusion over approximately 60-120 minutes at a dose of 70 mg/m2 on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. The investigator may attempt to give Cisplatin with at least one liter of fluids for hydration and on an outpatient basis.

Patients will remain in the study until disease progression or when a maximum of six cycles have been administered. Study therapy may continue until:

  • There is evidence of progressive disease
  • The patient experiences unacceptable toxicity.
  • The investigator decides that the patient should be discontinued.
  • The patient requests discontinuation
  • The patient has received 6 cycles of the regimen (if the physician decides to continue after 6 cycles-this will be done after consultation with the sponsor)
  • Discontinuation from study therapy is indicated according to the additional guidelines described in the protocol After patients discontinue from study therapy, they proceed to the post-study follow up phase of the study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall response rates of the combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have been previously treated with anthracycline with/without taxane based regimen

  2. in the adjuvant/neoadjuvant or 1st line metastatic setting for each treatment arm separately.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To characterize the quantitative and qualitative toxicity of gemcitabine-cisplatin patient population for each treatment arm separately;Relative dose intensity of gemcitabine and cisplatin for each treatment arm separately

  2. Rate of dose modifications (omissions, reductions, delays) for each treatment arm separately;Time to progression for each treatment arm separately;Duration of response for each treatment arm separately;1-year survival in each treatment arm separately

  3. Overall survival in each treatment arm separately;To assess the medical resources utilization with the combination in each treatment arm separately

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gemcitabine and cisplatin in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 20 Nov 2007. 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 Saudi Arabia. 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?

Overall response rates of the combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have been previously treated with anthracycline with/without taxane based regimen. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Nov 2007.
