About this study

Official title: An Open-label Study to Evaluate the Effect of Combination Therapy With Epothilone D and Herceptin on Tumor Response in Patients With HER-2 Overexpressing Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

This single arm study will determine the efficacy and safety of an epothilone D and Herceptin combination regimen in patients with HER-2 positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Epothilone D will be administered intravenously on days 1, 8 and 15 every 4 weeks at a dose not exceeding 100mg/m2. Herceptin will be administered intravenously on a weekly schedule; a 4mg/kg loading dose will be followed by a weekly maintenance dose of 2mg/kg. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase I: Number of Participants with a Dose-Limiting Toxicity

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment until end of Cycle 1 (1 cycle is 28 days)

  2. Phase II: Objective Response Rate (per RECIST criteria)

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment until documented response (up to 3 years, 2 months)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Phase II: Duration of Response

    Measured: From date of objective response until progressive disease or death, whichever occurs first (up to 3 years, 2 months)

  2. Phase II: Time to Tumor Progression

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment until progressive disease or death, whichever occurs first (up to 3 years, 2 months)

  3. Phase I: Plasma Concentration of Epothilone D at Specified Timepoints

    Measured: Cycle 1 Days -2, -1, and 1; Cycle 2 Days 1 15-17 (1 cycle is 28 days)

  4. Number of Participants with at Least One Adverse Event

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment until 28 days after last dose (up to 3 years, 2 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Epothilone D and Herceptin in people with Breast Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 6 sites in Spain.

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 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 28 Apr 2023. 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 Spain. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Phase I: Number of Participants with a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (time frame: From first dose of study treatment until end of Cycle 1 (1 cycle is 28 days)). 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 28 Apr 2023.
