Who cannot join

  • Receive concurrent treatment with an investigational agent or participate in another clinical trial
  • Have a concurrent disease or condition that would make the patient inappropriate for study participation, or any serious medical disorder that would interfere with the patient safety
  • Patients with responsive or stable disease after chemotherapy (fulvestrant administration in not allowed as maintenance therapy)

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study, Comparing a Dose-Titration Regimen of Fulvestrant With the Approved Dosing Regimen in Postmenopausal Patients With Hormone-Responsive Advanced Breast Cancer (ABC) (Fulvestrant Intensity Density Study - Studio FIDeS)

In post-menopausal metastatic hormone-responsive breast cancer women.

This study is a two arm randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of dose-titration regimen of fulvestrant compared with the approved dosing regimen. Patients will be randomized to one of the following treatment arms:

Arm A: Fulvestrant 500 mg days 0, 14, 28, then 250 mg every 2 weeks for 5 administrations, then 250 mg every 28 days, until progression or unacceptable toxicity Arm B: Fulvestrant 250 mg every 28 days until progression or unacceptable toxicity

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to progression (sec. RECIST) or death from any cause; where there is no evidence of progression, TTP will be right-censored at last patients contact where status was recorded

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fulvestrant in people with Breast Cancer, run by Regina Elena Cancer Institute at 1 site in Italy.

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 21 inclusion and 9 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 22 Jul 2011. 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 Italy. 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 Papaldo Paola, MD (06-52666230, p.papaldo@mclink.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to progression (sec. RECIST) or death from any cause; where there is no evidence of progression, TTP will be right-censored at last patients contact where status was recorded (time frame: 12 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 22 Jul 2011.
