About this study

Official title: Cardiac Safety Profile of Caelyx Therapy in Anthracyclin Pretreated Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the cardiac safety of Caelyx in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have previously received chemotherapy with anthracyclines.

Conditions
Breast Neoplasm
Being tested
Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Pegylated Liposomal DoxorubicinDrug

    Also called SCH 200746

    Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Caelyx) IV, 50 mg/m2 once every 4 weeks for 6 cycles or until disease progression, whichever is earlier. Patients still receiving clinical benefit after a total of 6 cycles of Caelyx, may continue therapy at the discretion of the investigator.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cardiac Events

    A cardiac event was defined as a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of >=20 points from baseline if the resting LVEF remained in the normal range, or a decrease of >=10 points if the LVEF became abnormal (lower than the institutional lower limit of normal).

    Measured: Every 4 weeks during 6 cycles.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin in people with Breast Neoplasm, 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 18 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 10 Mar 2010). 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?

Cardiac Events (time frame: Every 4 weeks during 6 cycles.). 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 14 Jul 2015.
