What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events

    This outcome describes the number of participants experiencing any type, any grade, any cause adverse events (assessed both subjectively and objectively)

    Measured: From first dose to end of follow-up period (up to approximately 33 months)

  2. Number of Participants Experiencing Laboratory Tests Abnormalities

    This outcome describes the number of participants experiencing laboratory test abnormalities. The following laboratory test categories were analyzed:

    • Enzyme investigations
    • Hematology investigations
    • Hepatobiliary investigations
    • Lipid investigations
    • Protein and chemistry analyses
    • Renal and urinary tract investigations
    • Water, electrolytes and mineral investigation. Laboratory test abnormalities were graded according to the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria version 2 (JCOG Version), resulting in a score from Grade 0 (Normal) to Grade 5 (Death due to toxicity).

    Only laboratory test abnormalities with a Grade 3 or higher are reported

    Measured: From first dose to end of follow-up period (up to approximately 33 months)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the number (percentage) of participants achieving either a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) to therapy. CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions, while PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of all target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum LD).

    Target Lesions were evaluated according to "Evaluation Criteria on the Therapeutic Effects in Patients with Advanced or Recurrent Breast Cancer."

    Measured: From first dose to end of follow-up period (up to approximately 33 months)

  2. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR is defined as the median time from the first date of Partial Response (assessed as per the "Evaluation Criteria on the Therapeutic Effects in Patients with Advanced or Recurrent Breast Cancer") to the first date of Progressive Disease. Participants were evaluated for DOR in 2 separate studies (NCT01023204 and NCT00971945). Results are representative of the cumulative DOR assessed in both studies.

    Measured: From first date of Partial Response (in study NCT01023204) to first date of Progressive Disease (in study NCT01023204 or NCT00971945) (up to approximately 37 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel in people with Breast Cancer, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 4 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 1 inclusion and 0 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 25 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 25 May 2021). 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 Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (time frame: From first dose to end of follow-up period (up to approximately 33 months)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 May 2021.
