About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Double-blinded, Randomised, Multi-centre, Three-period, Three-treatment, Crossover Study to Compare the Intravenous Pharmacokinetic and Safety Characteristics of European Taxotere® and American Taxotere® With Hospira Docetaxel Injection Administered at a Therapeutic Dose in Cancer Patients.

The purpose of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic and safety characteristics of European Taxotere® and American Taxotere® with Hospira Docetaxel injection in patients with cancer.

Read the detailed description

No information is available on the pharmacokinetic characteristics, safety or efficacy of Hospira Docetaxel Injection. The primary purpose of this study therefore is to compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics of 60-100 mg/m² Hospira Docetaxel Injection, 60-100 mg/m² European Taxotere® (Taxotere® EU) and 60-100 mg/m² American Taxotere® (Taxotere® US) when administered as a 1 hour intravenous infusion in man. The secondary objective of this study will be to compare the safety and tolerability of Hospira Docetaxel Injection, Taxotere® EU and Taxotere® US. The study will also provide an opportunity to assess selected efficacy endpoints according to local practice after each cycle of treatment.

The study dosing regimen (60-100 mg/m², administered as a 1 hour intravenous infusion at 3 week intervals) and subject population (cancer patients for whom Taxotere® monotherapy would be a suitable treatment option) were selected on the basis of the licensed use of 60-100 mg/m² Taxotere®. The randomised crossover design was chosen to reduce the effect of intersubject variation.

Since Hospira Docetaxel Injection has not been administered to man there is no information on the risks associated with its clinical use. However the active ingredient of Hospira Docetaxel Injection is the same as that of Taxotere® and it is expected that Hospira Docetaxel Injection will exhibit a similar safety and tolerability profile.

An estimated 24 patients will be recruited at several United Kingdom sites and one Russian site to provide 19 evaluable patients

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing European Taxotere®, American Taxotere® and Hospira Docetaxel Injection in people with Cancer, run by Hospira, now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 4 sites in 2 countries.

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 16 inclusion and 11 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 20 Mar 2017. 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 Kingdom, Russia. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Area under the concentration time curve from zero to last measured concentration (AUC[0-tlast]) (time frame: On Day 1, 2, 3, 22, 23, 24, 43, 44, 45 (pre-dose and 30 min, 58 min, 65 min, 70 min, 90 min, 2 hr, 3 hr, 5 hr, 7 hr, 24±2 hr and 48±2 hr after starting Investigational medicinal product infusion during each treatment cycle).). 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 20 Mar 2017.
