About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Docetaxel Plus Imatinib Mesylate in Metastatic Breast Cancer

This trial evaluates the novel combination of docetaxel with imatinib as first or second line therapy in advanced breast cancer with the aim of achieving higher effectiveness and potentially reducing side effects.

Read the detailed description

All patients in this study received docetaxel 30 mg/m2 weekly for 3 consecutive weeks of each 28-day cycle, along with continuous imatinib mesylate. Initially, imatinib mesylate was given at a dose of 600 mg orally daily, beginning concurrently with the first dose of docetaxel; however, after the first 15 patients were treated it became evident that this imatinib dose was not tolerable, and subsequent patients received imatinib mesylate 400 mg orally daily

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Defined as the proportion of patients with confirmed complete or partial response (CR or PR), recorded from date of treatment until date of recurrence or progressive disease, and assessed by RECIST v 1.1.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS defined as the length of time, in months, that patients were alive from date of first protocol treatment until worsening of disease, assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Defined as the time from first protocol treatment to date of death due to any cause.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Imatinib and Docetaxel in people with Breast Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 6 sites 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 7 inclusion and 11 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 27 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 May 2013). 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?

Overall Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00193180, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 May 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
