About this study

Official title: Randomised, Multicenter Phase II Study in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer With Gemcitabine Plus Vinorelbine Versus Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin Versus Gemcitabine Plus Capecitabine

Development of an active second-line treatment option for metastatic breast cancer patients previously pre-treated with anthracyclines and taxanes in neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative settings.

For each randomisation arm, 47 patients will be included. The trial was performed as a 2-stage phase II study according to the optimal design by Simon with overall response rate as the primary objective.

Study Design:

Arm A Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 d1, 8; Vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 d1, 8 q 3 weeks

Arm B Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 d1, 8; Cisplain 30 mg/m2 d1, 8 q 3 weeks

Arm C Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 d1, 8; Capecitabine 1650 mg/m2 oral d1-14 q 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gemcitabine, cisplatin and vinorelbine in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Ludwig-Maximilians - University of Munich.

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 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 28 Oct 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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?

Response rate (time frame: one year after last patient in). 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 NCT00480597, 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 28 Oct 2010.
