What is being measured

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

  1. Response rate

    the percentage of patients with a confirmed complete or partial response, as defined in the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (revised RECIST [Version 1.1])

    Measured: 4 months after the date of randomization of the last patient, which is estimated will occur 16 months after the first patient is randomized

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Clinical benefit rate

    the percentage of patients with a complete or partial response of any duration or stable disease lasting ≥ 6 months

    Measured: 12 months after the date of randomization of the last patient, which is estimated will occur 24 months after the first patient is randomized

  2. Progression-free survival

    the period from the date of randomization to the date when disease progression is first documented or when the patient dies within 6 weeks of the last lesion assessment

    Measured: 12 months after the date of randomization of the last patient, which is estimated will occur 24 months after the first patient is randomized

  3. Progression-free survival rate

    the percentage of patients who are progression free

    Measured: 6 and 12 months after patients' date of randomization

  4. Adverse events

    the percentage of patients with adverse events classified by term and body system

    Measured: up to 30 days after patients' last dose of study medication

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tesetaxel and Capecitabine in people with Locally Advanced Non-resectable Breast Cancer and Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Genta Incorporated 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 11 inclusion and 10 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 1 Jun 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 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response rate (time frame: 4 months after the date of randomization of the last patient, which is estimated will occur 16 months after the first patient is randomized). 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 1 Jun 2012.
