About this study

Official title: Phase III Multicenter Randomized Open-label Study of Irinotecan Plus Capecitabine Versus Capecitabine in Patients Previously Treated With Anthracycline and Taxane for HER2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer[PROCEED]

This study is a multicenter, randomized study, open-label, phase III study.The efficacy of irinotecan and capecitabine combination will be superior to capecitabine alone in term of progression free survival in metastatic breast cancer patients previously treated with anthracycline and taxane.

Read the detailed description

Prior to enrollment, patients will be confirmed for hormone and HER2 receptor status. Patients may have either measurable and/or evaluable metastatic lesions which are able to be assessed by chest, abdomen CT and bone scan performed within 28 days prior to start of treatment.

  • Capecitabine alone arm: 1250 mg/m2, BID, day 1-14, every 3 weeks
  • Irinotecan plus capecitabine arm : Irinotecan 80 mg/m2, day 1 and 8, every 3 weeks + capecitabine 1000 mg/m2, BID, day 1-14, every 3 weeks.

Randomization will be done using a random block size permutation method and stratified based on : hormone receptor status (negative vs. positive), first line vs. more than second lines, visceral metastasis (negative vs. positive).

Treatment will continue until disease progression, death, or discontinuation due to side effects of drugs or refusal by patients.

The primary objective of this study is to estimate the PFS of capecitabine and irinotecan in patients with anthracycline and taxane- pretreated metastatic breast cancer, which will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test. Overall survival will be also estimated by same method. The secondary statistical analysis consisting of an estimation of the complete and partial response rates and response rates of the treatment will be calculated as the ratio of the number of complete and partial responders to the total number of evaluable patients and toxicity profile, which will be estimated as the ratio of the number of occurrence to the total number of evaluable patients. A 95% confidence interval for the response rate is computed based on the binomial distribution function. The analysis for reporting the final treatment results will be undertaken when each patient has been potentially followed for a minimum of 12 months. The overall survival and progression free survival, and their respective medians will be estimated with 95% confidence intervals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Irinotecan, Capecitabine in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by National Cancer Center, Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 13 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 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 1 site in South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jungsil Ro (+82-31-920-1610, jungsro@ncc.re.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression free survival (PFS) (time frame: The analysis for reporting the final treatment results will be undertaken when each patient has been potentially followed for a minimum of 12 months). 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 18 Jul 2012.
