What participants receive

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

  • Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Doxil)Drug

    Also called taxol (paclitaxel), herceptin

    Doxorubicin administered once every three weeks Taxol administered weekly Herceptin administered weekly

What is being measured

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

  1. Identify the pCR rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapy using the proposed 18-week regimen of PLD + paclitaxel + trastuzumab

    Measured: within 18 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Identify the complete response rate

    Measured: within 18 weeks

  2. Identify the partial response rate

    Measured: within 18 weeks

  3. Identify the overall response rate

    Measured: within 18 weeks

  4. Evaluate changes in cardiac function

    Measured: within study participation

  5. Monitor safety and tolerability of neoadjuvant chemotherapy using the proposed 18 week regimen

    Measured: within study participation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Doxil) in people with Breast Cancer, run by Aptium Oncology Research Network at 9 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 9 inclusion and 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jan 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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?

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?

Identify the pCR rate of neoadjuvant chemotherapy using the proposed 18-week regimen of PLD + paclitaxel + trastuzumab (time frame: within 18 weeks). 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 15 Jan 2010.
