Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with documented histological/cytological proof of metastatic and/or recurrent breast cancer suitable for treatment with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide. Patients with locally advanced and inoperable lesions are also eligible.
  • Previous therapy:
  • If patients have had hormone-responsive disease, randomization is permitted after 6 weeks off anti-hormonal therapy or 5 half lives (whichever is shorter) unless there is evidence of progressive disease in which case patients could be randomized earlier.
  • No previous exposure to anthracycline/anthracenedione-based chemotherapy.
  • Patients may have received non-anthracycline/anthracenedione based adjuvant chemotherapy, completed a minimum of 4 weeks prior to randomization. Patients must not have had previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease.
  • Immunotherapy and experimental therapy must stop a minimum of 4 weeks prior to randomization.

  • A minimum of four weeks must have elapsed between the end of prior radiotherapy and randomization. Exceptions will be made, however, for palliative radiotherapy which involves no more than 30% of bone marrow.
  • ECOG status of 0, 1 or 2.

  • Life expectancy of at least 6 months.
  • Patients must be willing and able to follow instructions and make all required study visits.
  • Patients must be willing and able to give written consent to participate in this study.
  • Disease free interval less than or equal to 36 months.
  • Normal organ and marrow function
  • Negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to randomization and must be on a medically recognized form of birth control that is approved by the investigator.
  • Negative blood tests for HIV and Hepatitis B and C within 4 weeks prior to randomisation.

Who cannot join

  • Previous malignancies, excluding curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in-situ cervical cancer or any other cancer treated more than five years prior to study entry and presumed cured.
  • Known brain or meningeal metastases
  • Use of chemotherapeutic agents for any malignancy within 4 weeks prior to study entry or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
  • Treatment with any other investigational drug within the preceding four weeks.
  • Pregnant and breast-feeding females.
  • History of seizure disorder.
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Clinical evidence of congestive heart failure, recent myocardial infarction within 6 months, uncontrolled arterial hypertension, unstable angina, cardiomyopathy or arterial or ventricular clinically significant arrhythmias even if medically controlled.
  • Clinically significant cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, endocrine, hepatic, respiratory, neurologic, psychiatric, immunologic, gastrointestinal, haematologic, metabolic or any other condition or laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Medical Director of YM BioSciences Inc., makes the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.
  • Known allergy or hypersensitivity to test article ingredients.
  • Patients on COX 1 or 2 prostaglandin inhibitors (e.g. ASA, other NSAID's, Celcbrex®, Vioxx® ) who can not comply with guidelines or concomitant therapy.
  • Patients on H1 antagonists as detailed in the protocol who can not comply with guidelines or concomitant therapy

About this study

Official title: A PHARMACOKINETIC INTERACTION PHASE I, MULTI-CENTRE, OPEN-LABEL, CROSS-OVER Study Evaluating the Effect of Tesmilifene on the Plasma Pharmacokinetics of Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide in Patients With Metastatic/Recurrent Breast Cancer

This is a Phase I, multi-centre, open-label, cross-over pharmacokinetic study designed to investigate whether the co-administration of a fixed dose of tesmilifene alters the plasma pharmacokinetics of a standard regimen of epirubicin and/or its principle metabolite, epirubicinol and cyclophosphamide.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, multi-centre, open-label, cross-over pharmacokinetic study designed to investigate whether the co-administration of a fixed dose of tesmilifene alters the plasma pharmacokinetics of a standard regimen of epirubicin and/or it's principle metabolite, epirubicinol and cyclophosphamide. The plasma pharmacokinetics of epirubicin/epirubicinol and cyclophosphamide when given alone or concurrently with tesmilifene will be examined. Safety information for the tesmilifene/ epirubicin and cyclophosphamide combination and for epirubicin and cyclophosphamide alone in this patient population will also be collected.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Tesmilifene (YMB 1002)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. The distribution of the pharmacokinetic variables will be summarized by treatment. The variables AUC and CMAX expressed as geometric means and ratios of geometric means on the original scale of measurement.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adverse experiences will be collected and graded using the NCI Expanded Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0.

  2. Blood pressure, temperature, pulse and respiration will be tabulated across time and shift tables will be presented.

  3. The tesmilifene concentration, haematology and biochemistry values will be tabulated across time.

  4. Although response is not the endpoint of this trial, patients with measurable disease will be assessed by standard institutional criteria.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tesmilifene (YMB 1002) in people with Metastatic/Recurrent Breast Cancer, run by YM BioSciences at 10 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 16 inclusion and 11 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 21 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Russia, Ukraine, Georgia. 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 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.

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?

The distribution of the pharmacokinetic variables will be summarized by treatment. The variables AUC and CMAX expressed as geometric means and ratios of geometric means on the original scale of measurement.. 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 21 Apr 2014.
