Cabozantinib for Metastatic Triple Negative BrCa
A Phase 2 study testing Cabozantinib in people with Breast Cancer, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 3 sites in United States.
Trial summary
In this research study, we are looking at the anti-tumor effects of Cabozantinib (XL184) in metastatic breast cancer. Data suggest that MET expression and activation are important for initiation and progression of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Phase II Study of XL184 (Cabozantinib) for Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
In this research study, we are looking at the anti-tumor effects of Cabozantinib (XL184) in metastatic breast cancer. Data suggest that MET expression and activation are important for initiation and progression of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We evaluated the efficacy of cabozantinib (XL184), a novel inhibitor of multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, including MET and VEGFR2, in patients with metastatic TNBC.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To evaluate the activity of cabozantinib, as defined by objective response rate in patients with triple-negative metastatic breast cancer
Secondary
- To evaluate progression free survival
- To evaluate c-Met and phospho c-Met expression in archival tumor tissue
- To evaluate the incidence of c-Met amplified circulating tumor cells at baseline
- To evaluate potential plasma biomarkers of cabozantinib
DESIGN:
This study uses a two-stage design enrolling 35 patients to evaluate efficacy of cabozantinib based on overall response defined as complete or partial response per RECIST1.1 criteria. The null and alternative overall response rates were 5% and 20%. If one or more patients enrolled in the stage one cohort (n=13 patients) achieve PR or better then accrual proceeds to stage two (n=22 patients).

Also called XL184
| Study group | Role | What they receive |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective Response Rate
The objective response rate (ORR) was defined as achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) on treatment based on RECIST1.1 criteria. For target lesions: CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions. Confirmatory scans were required 3 weeks following initial documentation.
Measured: Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline, week 6 and every 9 weeks on treatment; Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment duration was a median of 3 cycles range (1-17).
Secondary outcomes (1)
Progression Free Survival
Progression-free survival (PFS) estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods was defined as the time from registration to documented disease progression (PD) or death. Based on RECIST1.1, radiographic PD is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum since beginning therapy, the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Patients who were event-free were censored at the date of their last disease evaluation.
Measured: Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline, week 6 and every 9 weeks on treatment; Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment duration was a median of 3 cycles range (1-17).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Cabozantinib in people with Breast Cancer, run by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute at 3 sites 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 8 inclusion and 13 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 6 Dec 2016. 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Jul 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Objective Response Rate (time frame: Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline, week 6 and every 9 weeks on treatment; Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment duration was a median of 3 cycles range (1-17).). 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 NCT01738438, 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 Dec 2016.
