About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Irinotecan Plus Capecitabine in Patients With Antracycline and Taxane Pretreated Metastatic Breast Cancer

To evaluate the response rate of capecitabine and irinotecan combination therapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer

Read the detailed description

This is a nonrandomized, open-label, phase II study of irinotecan plus capecitabine in patients with metastatic breast cancer previously treated with anthracyclines and taxanes. Up to 44 qualified patients will be enrolled according to the exact single stage design.

Irinotecan 90 mg/m2 intravenously for 90 minutes once a week for 2 weeks (Days 1 and 8) followed by 1-week rest period. Capecitabine is administered orally at a dose of 1,000 mg/m2 twice daily (total daily dose 2,000 mg/m2) as an intermittent regimen in 3-week cycles (2 weeks of treatment followed by a 1-week rest period). For practical reasons, capecitabine doses are rounded to the nearest dose that could be administered with a combination of 500-mg and 150-mg tablets of drug. Capecitabine is given approximately 12 hours apart and taken orally with water within 30 minutes after ingestion of food (breakfast or dinner).

Being tested
Irinotecan plus capecitabine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Irinotecan plus capecitabine in people with Breast Cancer Metastatic, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 13 inclusion and 3 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 30 Dec 2011. 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 South Korea. 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 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?

To evaluate the response rate of capecitabine and irinotecan combination therapy in patients with metastatic breast cancer (time frame: 2009). 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 30 Dec 2011.
