About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Weekly Paclitaxel in Combination With Bavituximab in Patients With Her-2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bavituximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving paclitaxel together with bavituximab may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of giving paclitaxel and bavituximab together in treating patients with Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2 )-negative metastatic breast cancer

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the safety, feasibility, and tolerability of combining paclitaxel with weekly bavituximab therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe changes in pharmacodynamic markers and coagulation markers in response to single agent and combined therapy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) on days 1, 8, and 15 and bavituximab IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 (days 15 and 22 only of course 1). Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

What is being measured

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

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Overall response rate of the regimen by RECIST

    Measured: One year

  2. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Measured: One year

  3. Measurable changes in levels of circulating endothelial cells (CEC), circulating endothelial progenitors (CEP), apoptotic CEC, and circulating tumor cells (CTC), as well as changes in cell-specific microparticle formation in response to therapy

    Measured: One year

  4. Activation of coagulation as measured by changes in D-dimer levels and platelet activation markers in response to therapy

    Measured: One year

  5. Collection and storage of additional plasma for further analysis of angiogenic markers (i.e., VCAM and VEGF)

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing paclitaxel, bavituximab and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Human Epidermal Growth Factor 2 Negative Carcinoma of Breast and Male Breast Cancer, run by University of Arizona at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 19 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 21 Apr 2016. 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 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 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?

Determination of grade 3 or higher toxicities associated with the combination therapy as classified using National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 (time frame: One year). 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 21 Apr 2016.
