About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Randomised, Parallel Group, Multicentre Study to Compare ZOLADEX 10.8 mg Given Every 12 Weeks With ZOLADEX 3.6 mg Given Every 4 Weeks in Pre-menopausal Women With Oestrogen Receptor Positive Advanced Breast Cancer

The primary objective is to evaluate whether Zoladex 10.8 mg (12-weekly) is non-inferior to Zoladex 3.6 mg (4-weekly) in pre-menopausal women with oestrogen receptor positive advanced breast cancer by assessment of progression-free survival at 24 weeks.

Secondary Objectives are to compare the safety and tolerability profile of ZOLADEX 10.8 mg and ZOLADEX 3.6 mg by assessment of adverse events (AEs)and to assess goserelin PK in Japanese and Caucasian participants who have received ZOLADEX 10.8 mg by assessment of goserelin plasma concentration time profiles

Recruitment into the study has been permanently stopped as of 24 December 2007 due to slow recruitment. 98 (vs the planned 260) patients were randomised into the study and will be followed as per protocol for 2 years

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS) at Week 24

    The number of participants for whom neither objective disease progression or death (due to any cause) has been observed at Week 24 over the number of randomised participants x 100.

    Measured: Objective tumour assessments carried out every 12 weeks (+/- 7 days) until Week 24, and then every 24 weeks (+/- 14 days) until Week 96 or objective progression is confirmed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST).

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) at Week 24

    Number of participants who were objective responders at Week 24 over the number of participants evaluable for response x 100. An objective responder = a participants whose best unconfirmed response is either CR (Complete Response Disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (Partial Response At least a 30% decrease in target lesions)

    Measured: Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) tumour assessments carried out every 12 weeks from randomisation until Week 24 in those patients with measurable disease at baseline.

  2. Oestradiol (E2) Serum Concentrations at Week 24

    A comparison of mean E2 serum concentrations at timepoint(s) post Day 1 performed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), with treatment group, baseline E2 serum concentrations and country as covariates. Data analysed on the log scale; log scale mean and pooled log scale standard deviation from Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) presented.

    Measured: Blood samples for measurement of E2 concentrations collected from all patients at scheduled visits of screening, Day 1 and Weeks 12 and 24 (+/- 7 days). Week 24 data is presented

  3. Maximum Plasma Concentration, Cmax (ng/mL)

    Maximum plasma concentration, Cmax (ng/mL), derived from analysis of pharmacokinetic (PK) outcomes samples provided only by participants in the PK subgroup set (all of whom received ZOLADEX 10.8 mg)

    Measured: Blood samples taken at Days 1, 2 and 3, Weeks 4, 12 and 24. Derived from the individual goserelin plasma concentration-time profiles following the first dose of study drug for patients in the pharmacokinetic (PK) subgroup

  4. Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration, Tmax (Hours)

    Time to maximum plasma concentration, Tmax (hours), derived from analysis of pharmacokinetic (PK) outcomes samples provided only by participants in the PK subgroup set (all of whom received ZOLADEX 10.8 mg)

    Measured: Blood samples taken at Days 1, 2 and 3, Weeks 4, 12 and 24. Derived from the individual goserelin plasma concentration-time profiles following the first dose of study drug for patients in the pharmacokinetic (PK) subgroup

  5. Area Under the Plasma Concentration Curve (0-12 Weeks)

    Area under the plasma concentration curve (0-12 weeks) derived from analysis of pharmacokinetic (PK) outcomes samples provided only by participants in the PK subgroup set (all of whom received ZOLADEX 10.8 mg)

    Measured: Blood samples taken at Days 1, 2 and 3, Weeks 4, 12 and 24. Derived from the individual goserelin plasma concentration-time profiles following the first dose of study drug for patients in the pharmacokinetic (PK) subgroup

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Goserelin acetate in people with Advanced Breast Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 14 sites in 3 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 3 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 24 Jan 2011. 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 Russia, Ukraine, Czechia. 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 24 Jan 2011). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS) at Week 24 (time frame: Objective tumour assessments carried out every 12 weeks (+/- 7 days) until Week 24, and then every 24 weeks (+/- 14 days) until Week 96 or objective progression is confirmed according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST).). 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 24 Jan 2011.
