About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Liposomal Doxorubicin (Lipo-Dox) in Patients With Brain Metastasis From Breast Cancer

Primary objective:

To determine the brain response rate of Lipo-Dox in breast cancer patients with brain metastasis

Secondary objectives:

  1. To determine the overall objective response rate (ORR)
  2. To determine the progression free survival, and duration of objective response
  3. To evaluate the overall survival (OS)
  4. To assess the safety profiles
Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, non-comparative phase II clinical trial. Approximately thirty-three patients will be enrolled in order to obtain twenty-nine evaluable subjects who received two cycles of study treatment in Simon's 2-stage optimal design.

Duration of subject involvement: Study treatment should be administered up to disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or consent withdrawal.

Recruitment period: 10 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Liposomal Doxorubicin in people with Breast Cancer, run by Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins at 1 site in Singapore.

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 9 inclusion and 21 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Singapore. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Low recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Determine the brain response rate of Lipo-Dox in breast cancer patients with brain metastasis (time frame: 3 years). 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 6 Aug 2009.
