What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor Response

    Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria that defines when participants improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable"), or worsen ("progression") during treatment. Responders are patients with complete response or partial response.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Duration of Response

    The duration of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of progression or death as a result of any cause.

    Measured: time of response to progressive disease

  2. Time to Progressive Disease

    Defined as the time from study enrollment to the first date of disease progression. Time to disease progression was censored at the date of death if death was due to other cause.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease

  3. Number of Participants Alive at One Year (1-Year Survival)

    Measured: baseline to date of death from any cause, evaluated at 1 year

  4. Pharmacokinetics - Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax)

    Maximum plasma concentration of gemcitabine plus paclitaxel on Day 1, Cycle 1, and gemcitabine monotherapy on Day 8, Cycle 1.

    Measured: cycle 1, day 1 (0 minutes, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.58, 3.75, 4, 4.5, 5 hours) and 8 (0, 15, 30, 35, 45, 60, 90, 120 minutes)

  5. Pharmacokinetics - Area Under the Concentration Curve (AUC)

    Area under the concentration curve from time zero to infinity.

    Measured: cycle 1, day 1 (0 minutes, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.58, 3.75, 4, 4.5, 5 hours) and 8 (0, 15, 30, 35, 45, 60, 90, 120 minutes)

  6. Pharmacokinetics - Half Life (t½)

    Apparent elimination half-life.

    Measured: cycle 1, day 1 (0 minutes, 3, 3.25, 3.5, 3.58, 3.75, 4, 4.5, 5 hours) and 8 (0, 15, 30, 35, 45, 60, 90, 120 minutes)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gemcitabine and paclitaxel in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 15 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 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 16 Mar 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Jul 2009). 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?

Tumor Response (time frame: baseline to measured progressive disease). 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 16 Mar 2010.
