About this study

Official title: An Open-label Positron Emission Tomography Study to Investigate and Quantify Brain and Tumour Penetration of [11C]Lapatinib in Subjects With HER2-overexpressing Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to find out how much lapatinib can enter both normal brains and brains in which tumours secondary to breast cancer have developed.

Read the detailed description

Lapatinib is an anti-cancer drug taken by mouth which inhibits the HER2 protein, overexpressed in some breast tumours. It is not known whether lapatinib passes through the blood-brain barrier, and, therefore, whether it can target secondary tumours in the brain. This study will investigate whether lapatinib does indeed enter the brain.

Subjects with HER2-overexpressing breast cancer, with and without brain metastases, will receive lapatinib tablets daily for 8 days. The subjects will also receive lapatinib with a small amount of radioactivity attached on the first and last days of dosing to investigate whether it is taken up by the brain, using positron emission tomography (PET) scans.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Lapatinib and [11C] lapatinib in people with Cancer, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 3 sites in United Kingdom.

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 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 13 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United Kingdom. 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?

Brain penetration of [11C]lapatinib (time frame: 8 days). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01290354, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Nov 2017.
