About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Phase 3, Randomized Comparison of the Safety and Efficacy of Weekly TOCOSOL(R) Paclitaxel vs. Weekly Paclitaxel Injection in the Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare the objective response rates of patients randomized to receive either TOCOSOL(R) Paclitaxel or Taxol(R) (paclitaxel injection) administered every week to patients with metastatic breast cancer. The study hypothesis is that the objective response rate with TOCOSOL Paclitaxel given every week is non-inferior to that observed with Taxol given every week.

Read the detailed description

Female patients with first or second line metastatic breast cancer will be randomized to receive either weekly TOCOSOL Paclitaxel or weekly Taxol (paclitaxel injection). Patients will undergo radiographic imaging of their disease to assess response to therapy. The primary endpoint of this study is a comparison of the objective response rates observed in patients receiving TOCOSOL Paclitaxel, to those receiving Taxol. Time-to-disease progression and overall survival will also be compared. The toxicities of the two treatment regimens will be compared.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Taxol and TOCOSOL Paclitaxel in people with Breast Neoplasm, run by Achieve Life Sciences at 14 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 3 inclusion and 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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: Failed primary endpoint). 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?

Objective response rates (time frame: Based on enrollment). 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 4 Jun 2009.
