About this study

Official title: Multicenter Study of PEGylated Liposomal Doxorubicin in Geriatric Oncology - Metastatic Breast Cancer - First-line Treatment PEGylated Liposomal Doxorubicin in Patients Older Than 70 Years, Breast Cancer Metastasis

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome works as first-line therapy in treating older women with metastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, in terms of objective response rate, in elderly women with metastatic breast cancer.

Secondary

  • Determine the feasibility of this drug in these patients.
  • Evaluate chemotherapy-induced toxicities in these patients.
  • Assess the disease-free survival and overall survival of these patients.
  • Study the geriatric covariates.
  • Assess the covariates predictive of the hematopoietic reserve and the risk of febrile neutropenia in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 60-90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or progressive disease.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically for 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride in people with Breast Cancer, run by ARCAGY/ GINECO GROUP at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 29 Oct 2014. 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 (time frame: 3 and 6 cures). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00960336, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Oct 2014.
