About this study

Official title: Phase III Randomized Multicenter Trial Comparing Continued Maintenance Therapy With the Bevacizumab + Taxane Versus Bevacizumab + Substituting Exemestane in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer or Locally Advanced With Estrogen Receptor Positive and Having at Least a Stable Disease After 16 to 18 Weeks of Treatment With Bevacizumab + Taxane.

In first-line metastatic breast cancer, the bevacizumab-taxane to progression or toxicity, is currently the standard treatment. In patients expressing hormone receptors, it was shown that hormone therapy administered in maintenance after induction chemotherapy, could have a benefit regarding the progression-free survival. The investigators make the hypothesis that there would be interest to discontinue treatment with taxane after 4 months, and to begin hormone therapy while continuing maintenance bevacizumab.

Exemestane was chosen because it has been shown potentially active in patients who progressed after letrozole, anastrozole or tamoxifen.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Paclitaxel, Bevacizumab and Exemestane in people with First Line Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by ARCAGY/ GINECO GROUP at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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 6 Sep 2023. 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 France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Not reveal any significant difference between the 2 treatment arms). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Primary free survival (time frame: 24 months for recruitment and 18 months for follow up). 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 NCT01303679, 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 6 Sep 2023.
