Study groups in NCT00367471
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group AActive comparatorSubjects in Treatment Group A (in cohorts of three) will receive oral lapatinib QD (Days 1 to 28). Following lapatinib administration on Day 1, paclitaxel will be administered intravenously over one hour followed immediately by an IV infusion of carboplatin over not less than 15 minutes. Carboplatin will be followed by an initial loading dose of trastuzumab by 90 minute IV infusion (first dose only) with subsequent IV doses of trastuzumab to be given weekly over 30 minute infusion. Doses of paclitaxel and carboplatin will be administered weekly (Day 1, 8, and 15). Trastuzumab is administered on Day 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment cycles are repeated every four weeks.
Receives: Drug: lapatinib; Drug: carboplatin; Drug: trastuzumab; Drug: paclitaxel
Group BActive comparatorSubjects in Treatment Group B (in cohorts of three) will receive oral lapatinib QD (Days 1 to 28). Following lapatinib administration on Day 1, paclitaxel will be administered intravenously over one hour followed immediately by a ≥15 minute intravenous infusion of carboplatin. Doses of paclitaxel, and carboplatin will be administered weekly (Day 1, 8, and 15) for three weeks with cycles repeated every four weeks.
Receives: Drug: lapatinib; Drug: carboplatin; Drug: paclitaxel

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse events and safety evaluations

    • The OTR for Treatment Group A (lapatinib, paclitaxel, carboplatin, and trastuzumab) will be defined as the maximum dose level at which no more than one subject out of six experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) after completing one treatment cycle.
    • The OTR for Treatment Group B (lapatinib, paclitaxel, carboplatin) will be defined as the maximum dose level at which no more than one subject out of six experiences a DLT after completing one treatment cycle.
    • Adverse events and changes from baseline in laboratory values, Multiple-gated Acquisition (MUGA) scanning/Echocardiogram (ECHO), and vital signs will be evaluated to assess safety and tolerability.

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Tumor response by RECIST version 1.0

    Tumor response is assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.0. RECIST has 4 response categories:

    • Complete Response (CR) = disappearance of all target and non-target lesions.
    • Partial Response (PR) = at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.
    • Progressive Disease (PD) = At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline.
    • Stable Disease (SD) = neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD.

    A CR or PR should be confirmed within 4 weeks.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or death from any cause,whichever came first, assessed up to 48.5 months

  2. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Duration of Response is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR or PR until the first documented sign of PD or death due to breast cancer.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or death from any cause,whichever came first, assessed up to 48.5 months

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival is defined as the time from first dose until the first documented sign of disease progression or death due to any cause. For subjects who do not progress or die, but who permanently discontinue Lapatinib treatment, progression-free survival will be censored at the time of last radiological scan preceding the initiation of alternative anti-cancer therapy. For subjects who do not progress or die and who complete the study, progression-free survival will be censored at the time of last radiological scan preceding the date of the study conclusion.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or death from any cause,whichever came first, assessed up to 48.5 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing lapatinib, carboplatin and trastuzumab in people with Neoplasms, Breast, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 3 sites in United States.

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 31 inclusion and 9 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 9 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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?

Adverse events and safety evaluations (time frame: 28 days). 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 9 Sep 2020.
