About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Open-Label Bevacizumab Administered With Anastrozole or Fulvestrant as First-Line Therapy in Postmenopausal Hormone Receptor- Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer (With Trastuzumab in HER2-Positive Patients)

This is a phase II trial combining bevacizumab with either fulvestrant or anastrozole with trastuzumab in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It is hoped that these combinations will keep the cancer from growing and spreading further.

Read the detailed description

Regimen A: Bevacizumab/anastrozole (with trastuzumab in HER2+ patients). Bevacizumab 10mg/kg IV every 2 weeks [patients who are also receiving trastuzumab have the option to receive their bevacizumab at 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks instead of 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks (see Trastuzumab section below)] and anastrozole (1 mg orally daily). Treatment will be given in 4-week cycles. Response assessments will be performed after 2 cycles. Patients who respond to treatment or have stable disease will continue to be evaluated every 2 cycles. After 6 months, response assessment will occur every 3 months. A patient may remain on study if radiation is deemed necessary and appropriate, provided that there are other sites of measurable disease outside the field of radiation that may be followed. Treatment occurs until disease progression. Patients will be selected for this treatment arm per the following guidelines: >=12 months from adjuvant endocrine therapy OR >=12 months from adjuvant aromatase inhibitors OR Endocrine therapy naive OR Prior tamoxifen exposure or tamoxifen intolerance

Regimen B: Bevacizumab/fulvestrant (with trastuzumab in HER2+ patients). Bevacizumab 10mg/kg IV every 2 weeks [patients who are also receiving trastuzumab have the option to receive their bevacizumab at 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks instead of 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks (see Trastuzumab section below)] fulvestrant (500 mg intramuscular on Day 1 of Cycle 1, followed by 250 mg intramuscular of fulvestrant on Day 15 of Cycle 1. On Day 1 of Cycle 2 and the first day of all subsequent cycles thereafter, patients in this treatment arm will receive 250 mg intramuscularly of fulvestrant). Treatment will be given in 4-week cycles. Response assessments will be performed after 2 cycles. Patients who respond to treatment or have stable disease will continue to be evaluated every 2 cycles. After 6 months, response assessment will occur every 3 months. A patient may remain on study if radiation is deemed necessary and appropriate, provided that there are other sites of measurable disease outside the field of radiation that may be followed. Treatment occurs until disease progression. Patients will be selected for this treatment arm per the following guidelines: <12 months from adjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy OR Intolerant of aromatase inhibitors OR Disease progression on adjuvant aromatase inhibitors OR Physician discretion

Trastuzumab: Patients in Treatment Arm A or Treatment Arm B who have FISH HER2+ or IHC3+ breast cancer will also receive treatment with trastuzumab in addition to their treatment with the combination of bevacizumab with either anastrozole or fulvestrant. Trastuzumab will be administered ONLY to patients with HER2+ breast cancer (FISH-positive or IHC3+). An 8 mg/kg loading dose of IV trastuzumab will be administered on Day 1, followed by doses of 6 mg/kg IV trastuzumab once every 3 weeks. These patients will have the option of receiving their bevacizumab doses at 15 mg/kg every 3 weeks rather than 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks (if they prefer to keep their bevacizumab dosing schedule consistent with their trastuzumab dosing schedule so that the number of visits they must make to the study site is minimized). The dosing schedules for anastrozole (for HER2+ patients in Treatment Arm A) and fulvestrant (for HER2+ patients in Treatment Arm B) will not change.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS), the Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Worsening of Their Disease

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the interval, in months, from the date of first treatment to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR), the Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment

    The Percentage of Patients Who Experience an Objective Benefit From Treatment (CR+PR). The response categories were assigned using RECIST criteria. Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions ; Partial Response (PR) = >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab, Anastrozole and Fulvestrant in people with Breast Cancer and Breast Neoplasms, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 11 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 8 inclusion and 12 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 18 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 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 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 15 Feb 2013). 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?

Progression Free Survival (PFS), the Length of Time, in Months, That Patients Were Alive From Their First Date of Protocol Treatment Until Worsening of Their Disease (time frame: 18 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00405938, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Nov 2021.
