Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Women 18 years or older.
  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer based on pathology report of primary, regional or metastatic breast cancer.
  • Clinical evidence of metastatic (stage IV) involvement other than bone only metastasis based on the investigator's clinical and/or radiographic findings.
  • Availability of estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor status measured on biopsy tissue. (Status on the most recent biopsy where ER/PR status was documented will be used to determine hormone receptor status for stratification).
  • At least one measurable disease site defined by RECIST criteria, with measurement made within 30 days of beginning study therapy. (Non-measurable disease includes bone lesions, leptomeningeal disease, ascites, pleural/pericardial effusion, inflammatory breast disease, lymphangitis cutis/pulmonis, abdominal masses that are not confirmed and followed by imaging techniques, and cystic lesions. For lesions in a previously irradiated field, the radiated lesion cannot be assessed as a measurable lesion unless growth of that lesion has been documented after radiation).
  • No more than 2 prior cytotoxic regimens administered for metastatic breast cancer. (Participants may have received any number of exogenous hormone therapies for Stage IV disease and/or adjuvant therapy).

  • Life expectancy of >12 weeks.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status <2.
  • Women of child bearing potential must agree to use two adequate methods of contraception or abstain from sexual intercourse during study treatment. Acceptable methods of contraception are as follows:
  • Intrauterine device (IUD)

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Clinical Trial Assessing Safety and Efficacy of BZL101 for Metastatic Breast Cancer

The investigators' proposed phase 2 clinical trial will be an open-label, non-randomized study among 80 women with metastatic breast cancer. The study treatment period will be up to twelve months and enrollment will be open at 10-15 clinical sites in the United States. In this Phase 2 trial, 40 participants with hormone receptor positive tumors and 40 with hormone receptor negative tumors will be enrolled and treated with BZL101 20 grams/day (10 grams BID). Hormone receptor positive will be defined as estrogen receptor (ER)+ and progesterone receptor (PR)+, ER+ and PR-, or ER- and PR+. Hormone receptor negative will be defined as ER- and PR-.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BZL101 in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Bionovo 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 18 inclusion and 1 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 8 Feb 2012. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Mary Tagliaferri, MD (5106012000, mary@bionovo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary outcomes of the Phase 2 trial will be safety and toxicity as measured by NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.0 and tumor response rate defined by new RECIST criteria 1.1. (time frame: Monthly). 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 8 Feb 2012.
