What is being measured

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

  1. Response rate (revised RECIST)

    Proportion of patients with a confirmed complete or partial response

    Measured: 12 months from date of first dose of study medication for last patient enrolled

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Disease control rate

    Proportion of patients with a confirmed complete or partial response of any duration or stable disease ≥ 3 months in duration

    Measured: 12 months from date of first dose of study medication for last patient enrolled

  2. Progression-free rate

    Proportion of patients without disease progression 6 months following the first dose of study medication

    Measured: 6 months from date of first dose of study medication for last patient enrolled

  3. Durable response rate

    Proportion of patients with a confirmed complete or partial response ≥ 6 months in duration

    Measured: 12 months from date of first dose of study medication for last patient enrolled

  4. Duration of response

    Date when response criteria are first met to the date when progression is first documented

    Measured: 12 months from date of first dose of study medication for last patient enrolled

  5. Time to progression

    Date of first dose of study medication to the date when progression is first documented

    Measured: 12 months from date of first dose of study medication for last patient enrolled

  6. Adverse events

    Incidence of adverse events

    Measured: Up to 30 days after the last dose of study medication for a specific patient

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tesetaxel once every 3 weeks and Tesetaxel once weekly in people with Breast Neoplasm, run by Genta Incorporated at 4 sites in United States.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2012. 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 United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response rate (revised RECIST) (time frame: 12 months from date of first dose of study medication for last patient enrolled). 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 24 Jul 2012.
