What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study medication in a participant who received study medication.

    Measured: Month 0 up to Month 36 or early withdrawal

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of Participants With Concomitant Morbidities

    Participants who had a concomitant morbidity during the study for any period of time; participants with more than one concomitant morbidity were counted for each of the concomitant morbidity classes applicable.

    Measured: Month 0 up to Month 36 or early withdrawal

  2. Number of Participants With Concomitant Medications

    Concomitant medication (any medication other than, and in addition to, the study medication) taken for any period of time during the study and was coded by World Health Organization (WHO) medical dictionary.

    Measured: Month 0 up to Month 36 or early withdrawal

  3. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued the Study Medication

    Measured: Month 0 up to Month 36 or early withdrawal

  4. Number of Participants With Reasons for Discontinuation From Study Treatment

    Measured: Month 0 up to Month 36 or early withdrawal

  5. Time to Discontinuation of Study Medication

    Measured: Month 0 up to Month 36 or early withdrawal

  6. Percentage of Participants With Recurrent Disease

    Percentage of participants with confirmed recurrent disease at the end of the study (recurrence was defined as loco-regional and/or contralateral and/or distance metastases).

    Measured: Month 36 or early withdrawal

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Early Breast Cancer, run by Pfizer.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 1 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Sep 2012). 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 With Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Month 0 up to Month 36 or early withdrawal). 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 1 Oct 2012.
