  • Neutrophil count >= 1,500 /µL
  • Platelet count >= 100,000 /µL
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <= 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) in the facility or <= 5 times ULN in patients with hepatic metastasis)

Premenopausal women of childbearing potential are defined as women who are <12 months after the latest menstruation and are positive in pregnancy test performed for enrollment or who have not taken the test and do not consent to take an appropriate contraceptive measure. Post-menopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months to make sure that they have no potential for becoming pregnant.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Extension Study of E7389 for Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study (E7389-J081-224; hereafter referred to as Study 224) is to evaluate the safety of patients who continue to receive E7389 after completing the Phase II clinical study (E7389-J081-221; hereafter referred to as Study 221) of E7389 for advanced or relapsed breast cancer by intravenously administering E7389.

Read the detailed description

Study 224 (Extension Period) was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of E7389 by collecting data from subjects who continued receiving E7389 after being transferred from Study 221 (Core Period). Thus, efficacy analyses performed in Study 221 were updated and reported with the additional data collected in Study 224. Objective response rate (ORR) and the number of subjects with adverse events are reported as outcome measures because these were the outcome measures of Study 221 which is a main study in the combined data. Also, safety analyses performed in Study 221 were updated and reported with the additional data collected in Study 224.

What participants receive

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

  • Eribulin MesylateDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Adverse Events.

    Measured: Every week during treatment and up to 30 days after last dose of study treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Measured by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    Objective response measured by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria and is Complete Response (disappearance of all target lesions) plus Partial Response (at least 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter [LD] of target lesions compared baseline sum of LD). Tumor assessments every 6 weeks.

    Measured: Every 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Eribulin Mesylate in people with Breast Cancer, run by Eisai Co., Ltd. at 5 sites in Japan.

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 15 inclusion and 16 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Japan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Aug 2013). 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?

Number of Subjects With Adverse Events. (time frame: Every week during treatment and up to 30 days after last dose of study treatment). 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 15 Aug 2013.
