About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomized, Parallel Group, Multicentre Study to Compare Oestradiol Suppression Between ZOLADEX 10.8 mg Depot Given 3 Monthly and ZOLADEX 3.6 mg Depot Given Monthly in Pre-menopausal Patients With ER Positive Early Breast Cancer

The primary purpose of this study is to establish if a 10.8 mg dose of ZOLADEX given 3 monthly is non-inferior to a 3.6 mg dose of ZOLADEX given monthly in terms of oestradiol suppression in patients with oestrogen receptor positive early breast cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Zoladex 10.8mg depot (every 12 weeks) is non-inferior to Zoladex 3.6mg depot (every 4 weeks) in terms of oestradiol (E2) suppression in patient population by assessment of area under the curve of E2 concentration during the first 24 weeks of treatment.

    Measured: every 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Zoladex 10.8mg has similar safety and tolerability profile to Zoladex 3.6mg. Examination of goserelin pharmacokinetics (PK) in Japanese patients after injection of Zoladex 10.8mg. Efficacy of Zoladex 10.8mg is similar to 3.6mg by assessment of DFS.

    Measured: every 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Goserelin acetate in people with Breast Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 22 sites in Japan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in Japan. 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?

Zoladex 10.8mg depot (every 12 weeks) is non-inferior to Zoladex 3.6mg depot (every 4 weeks) in terms of oestradiol (E2) suppression in patient population by assessment of area under the curve of E2 concentration during the first 24 weeks of treatment. (time frame: every 12 weeks). 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 Dec 2009.
