About this study

Official title: A Phase IB/II Trial of Combination of Vinorelbine With Sorafenib (BAY 43-9006) as First-Line Treatment in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer

This is a phase IB/II trial of sorafenib, a new tyrosine kinase inhibition of multiple genes that is active against renal cancer, plus vinorelbine, a chemotherapy agent active in breast cancer.

The investigators are combining these 2 drugs in order to determine if the investigators can increase the activity of vinorelbine in metastatic breast cancer patients.

Patients with measurable metastatic breast cancer without previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease are eligible for the protocol. They will be treated with 2 different dose levels of sorafenib in order to determine the most tolerable dose.

Being tested
Sorafenib and Vinorelbine
Keywords
To evaluate the use of sorafenib added to vinorelbine chemotherapy, to find out which are the doses of two drugs can be safely combined
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Sorafenib and Vinorelbine in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by McGill University at 1 site in Canada.

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 18 inclusion and 21 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 21 Oct 2008. 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 Canada. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lawrence Panasci (514-340-8248, lpanasci@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), defined according to RECIST criteria, persisting 4 weeks after the initial documentation.. 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 NCT00764972, 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 21 Oct 2008.
