About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Clinical Trial of the Hypomethylating Agent Azacitidine (Vidaza) With the Nanoparticle Albumin Bound Paclitaxel (Abraxane) in the Treatment of Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors and Breast Cancer

The purpose of this clinical trial is to test whether treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors or breast cancer with Abraxane plus Vidaza is safe and results in good tumor response. All patients enrolling in this study will receive treatment with Abraxane and Vidaza. Safety will be assessed by adverse events, laboratory results and performance status. Tumor response will be measured by RECIST criteria.

Read the detailed description

The phase I part of the study will enroll patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors who have failed at least one previous treatment. The purpose of the phase I part is to assess the safety of the investigational treatment and select the recommended phase II dose-regimen. The phase II part of the study will enroll patients with advanced or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer who have not received treatment for their metastatic disease. The purpose of the phase II part of the study is to assess safety and efficacy of the investigational treatment in breast cancer. The study doctor will determine what phase patients will be enrolled in.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase I: Percentage of Participants Responding to Treatment

    Azacitidine is set at 75mg/m2 and Nab-paclitaxel is set at100mg/m2 based on the number of participants responding to treatment as measured per RECIST v1 criteria.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Phase II: Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Rate (ORR) Measured Using RECIST 1.0 Criteria

    Objective response rate (ORR) will be measured using RECIST 1.0 criteria. The best response, including complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), or progressive disease (PD), for each patient will be summarized.

    For target lesions, Complete Response is defined as disappearance of all target lesions for at least 4 weeks; Partial Response consists of at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD, for at least 4 weeks; Progressive Disease consists of at least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions; Stable Disease consists of neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.

    Measured: 1.5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With ER+ Status

    Tissue SPARC protein will be assessed using archival tumor blocks. In addition, in patients who have easily accessible tumors, such as lymph nodes, cutaneous or subcutaneous lesions, and who have consented to sample collection, biopsies will be taken twice: before cycle 1 day 1 treatment, and cycle 3 day 8 (+/- 3 days).

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival (PSF) is defined as the length of time during and after treatment in which a patient is living with a disease that does not get worse.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Azacitidine (Vidaza) and Nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) in people with Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumors and Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by University of Utah at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 13 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 26 Jul 2017. 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 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Jul 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Phase I: Percentage of Participants Responding to Treatment (time frame: 6 months). 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?
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 26 Jul 2017.
