About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase 2 Study of SCH 727965 in Subjects With Advanced Breast and Non Small Cell Lung (NSCLC) Cancers

To determine the activity of SCH 727965 in participants with breast cancer and in participants with nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to standard treatment. The standard treatment used is capecitabine for breast cancer and erlotinib for NSCLC. The study will also determine the activity of SCH 727965 treatment in participants who experience cancer progression after standard treatment.

Being tested
SCH 727965, Capecitabine, Erlotinib
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms, Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What participants receive

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

  • SCH 727965Drug

    SCH 727965 50 mg/m^2 IV on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle until disease progression.

  • CapecitabineDrug

    Also called Xeloda

    Capecitabine 1250 mg/m^2 orally twice daily from Day 1 to Day 14 of each 21 day cycle until disease progression.

  • ErlotinibDrug

    Also called Tarceva

    Erlotinib 150 mg orally once daily until disease progression.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to disease progression.

    Date of randomization to date of tumor progression.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks for 30 weeks, and then every 9 weeks. Assessments continue until disease progression.

  2. Overall response rate in participants treated with SCH 727965 after disease progression on the comparator drug.

    Percentage of participants with tumor responses (partial responses + complete responses).

    Measured: Every 6 weeks for 30 weeks, and then every 9 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SCH 727965, Capecitabine and Erlotinib in people with Breast Neoplasms and Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 11 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 5 Aug 2015. 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?

Time to disease progression. (time frame: Every 6 weeks for 30 weeks, and then every 9 weeks. Assessments continue until disease progression.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00732810, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 5 Aug 2015.
