  • previous treatment with an anthracycline and with a taxane is mandatory either as neoadjuvant/adjuvant treatment or for metastatic disease.
  • previous treatment by chemotherapy for metastatic disease is allowed (up to three lines, allowing for MTD Capecitabine to be one of them).

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the efficacy by rate of clinical benefit (CB): rate of response (RR) + rate of Stable Disease (SD)

    Measured: 6 and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Plasma Levels of angiogenic growth factors

    Measured: At 4 predetermined time points along treatment period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cyclophosphamide, Capecitabine, Methotrexate, Celecoxib, Pamidronate (or Zoledronate) in people with Chemotherapy and Breast Cancer, Metastatic, run by HaEmek Medical Center, Israel at 1 site in Israel.

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 10 inclusion and 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jul 2015. 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 Israel. 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 was stopped early (reason given: No satisfactory acrual). 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?

To determine the efficacy by rate of clinical benefit (CB): rate of response (RR) + rate of Stable Disease (SD) (time frame: 6 and 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 8 Jul 2015.
