About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial of Paclitaxel Loaded Polymeric Micelle (Genexol-PM®) in Patients With Taxane-Pretreated Recurrent Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the response rate in patients with taxane-pretreated recurrent breast cancer receiving paclitaxel loaded polymeric micelle (Genexol-PM).

Read the detailed description

Genexol-PM is a novel Cremophor EL-free polymeric micelle formulation of paclitaxel. This single arm, multicenter phase IV study was designed to evaluate the response rate, toxicity, progression free survival and tumor control rate of Genexol-PM in patients with Taxane-pretreated recurrence breast cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • Paclitaxel loaded Polymeric micelleDrug

    Also called Genexol-PM®

    Genexol-PM at a dose of 300mg/m2 was diluted in 500 ml of 5% dextrose solution or normal saline and infused i.v. for 3 h on day 1.Treatment was repeated every 3 weeks until either disease progression or intolerance. A minimum of 6 cycles was recommended.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Paclitaxel loaded Polymeric micelle in people with Recurrent Breast Cancer, run by Korean Breast Cancer Study Group at 1 site in South Korea.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 16 Jun 2009. 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 South Korea. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Response rate was assessed by imaging using the RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumor) guideline (time frame: 1 year). 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 16 Jun 2009.
