About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open-label Multicenter Trial of Panobinostat Monotherapy in Women With HER2-negative Locally Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer

The purpose of the study is to assess the benefit of oral panobinostat monotherapy given to women with HER2-negative locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

This was a phase II, open label, multi-centre, two-arm, two-stage design, international study of oral panobinostat in women with HER2-negative locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.

In the first stage of the trial, 21 evaluable patients HR+ (ER+ and/or PgR+), HER2-negative, were to be treated (Arm I); if less than 3 responses were observed, that arm would be stopped and the treatment in this patient population would be declared as ineffective. In the other arm, 27 evaluable patients HR- (ER- and PgR-), HER2-negative, were to be treated (Arm II); if less than 2 responses were observed, that arm would be stopped and the treatment in this patient population would be declared as ineffective.

Given these protocol conditions, the study was stopped in Arm II due to low recruitment as there was insufficient data available to draw conclusions regarding efficacy in that arm. It should also be noted that only one response was observed in this group.. In Arm I, among the 25 evaluable patients, the study did not achieve the required number of tumor responses to allow enrolment to continue.

As such the protocol was amended to stop enrolment and remove analysis of the initially planned secondary objectives (Progression Free Survival and Overall Survival) considering the small study sample size. The patients already included were given the option to continue in the study until they reached their planned end-of-study visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (as Determined by Investigator): the Percentage of Patients Assigned to a Treatment Arm With a Confirmed Best Response of CR or PR.

    The assessment of overall response (OR) is based on the response of target lesion, of non-target lesion, and on presence of new lesions (RECIST criteria version 1.0 using imaging techniques; as per investigator assessment).

    Measured: 6 years and 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Panobinostat in people with Breast Cancer, run by Translational Research in Oncology 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 30 inclusion and 25 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 15 Jul 2016. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jul 2016). 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?

Objective Response Rate (as Determined by Investigator): the Percentage of Patients Assigned to a Treatment Arm With a Confirmed Best Response of CR or PR. (time frame: 6 years and 2 months). 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 Jul 2016.
