About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Fosaprepitant and Granisetron Transdermal System for the Prevention of Acute and Delayed Nausea and Vomiting in Breast Cancer Patients and to Identify Predictors of Response

This clinical trial studies how well fosaprepitant dimeglumine and granisetron transdermal system work in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Antiemetic drugs may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To evaluate the efficacy of the combination of fosaprepitant (fosaprepitant dimeglumine) and granisetron transdermal system in the prevention of acute and delayed chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To evaluate the safety of the combination of fosaprepitant and granisetron transdermal system in breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvan or neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To explore the use of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5âhydroxytryptamine-3 (5HT3) and neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptors as potential markers of efficacy.

OUTLINE: Patients receive granisetron transdermal system patch 24-48 hrs before the initiation of chemotherapy. Patients wear the granisetron transdermal system patch for 7 days. Patients receive fosaprepitant dimeglumine intravenously (IV) over 15 minutes on day 1 of chemotherapy. Treatment repeats every 2 or 3 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity.

Being tested
granisetron transdermal system, fosaprepitant dimeglumine, laboratory biomarker analysis

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of patients with complete response, defined as no emesis and no use of rescue medication in acute phase (within first 24 hours of treatment)

    The complete response rate with the exact 95% confidence intervals (CIs) will be calculated. The associations between the complete response rate and patient characteristics and biomarkers will be examined using Fisherâs exact test or Mann-Whitney U test whenever appropriate.

    Measured: Within the first 24 hours of treatment

  2. Proportion of patients with complete response, defined as no emesis and no use of rescue medication in delayed phase (within 2-4 days of treatment)

    The complete response rate with the exact 95% CIs will be calculated. The associations between the complete response rate and patient characteristics and biomarkers will be examined using Fisherâs exact test or Mann-Whitney U test whenever appropriate.

    Measured: Up to day 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing granisetron transdermal system, fosaprepitant dimeglumine and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Breast Cancer and Nausea, run by University of Southern California 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 13 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 17 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Lack of Efficacy). 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?

Proportion of patients with complete response, defined as no emesis and no use of rescue medication in acute phase (within first 24 hours of treatment) (time frame: Within the first 24 hours of treatment). 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?
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 17 Nov 2017.
