What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose of Cabazitaxel

    MTD was highest dose level of cabazitaxel at which no more than 1 of 6 evaluable participants experienced dose limiting toxicities (DLT). DLT defined as an AE or abnormal laboratory values related to study treatment: hematologic DLTs: any Grade(G)4 hematologic toxicity except neutropenia G4 lasting≤7 days,G3 or 4 febrile neutropenia except G3 or 4 febrile neutropenia in absence of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor prophylaxis, G4 thrombocytopenia; non-hematologic DLTs:any G≥3 non-hematologic toxicity except G3 nausea or G3 or4 vomiting, G3 or4 diarrhea,G3 or4 dehydration,G3 fatigue lasting≤7 days, inadequately treated hypersensitivity reactions, elevated transaminases<10* upper limit of normal of ≤7 days, re-treatment delay of>2 weeks due to delayed recovery from toxicity related to study treatment to baseline G or≤ G1(except for alopecia) and platelet transfusion during Cycle1. Grades based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0.

    Measured: Cycle 1 (21 days)

  2. Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (OR)

    OR in participants was defined as the participants with a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) after 3 cycles of cabazitaxel treatment and maintained for at least 4 weeks. CR and PR were based on modified response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) criteria for participants with CNS tumors. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as ≥50% decrease in the sum of the products of the two perpendicular diameters of target lesions, compared to the baseline measurement.

    Measured: Baseline, every 9 weeks until DP or death due to any cause (maximum duration: 12.1 weeks)

  3. Phase 2: Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR defined as time (in days) from date of first response until date of first documented progressive disease (PD) or death (from any cause), whichever came first. If progression or death was not observed, participant was censored at the date of participant's last progression-free tumor assessment prior to study cut-off date. PD as per RANO criteria was defined as ≥ 25% increase in the product of perpendicular diameters of any target lesion, taking as reference the smallest product observed since the start of treatment or the appearance of one or more new lesions, or worsening neurologic status not explained by causes unrelated to tumor progression (example, anticonvulsant or corticosteroid toxicity, electrolyte disturbances, sepsis, hyperglycemia, presumed post-therapy swelling etc.) plus any increase in tumor cross-sectional area (or tumor volume).

    Measured: Baseline, every 9 weeks until DP or death due to any cause (maximum duration: 12.1 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Phase 1 and 2: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug and did not necessarily had a causal relationship with the treatment. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as AEs that developed or worsened in grade or became serious during the on-treatment period which was defined as the period from the time of first dose of cabazitaxel until 30 days following the last administration of cabazitaxel.

    Measured: Baseline up to DP or death due to any cause (maximum duration: 112.1 weeks for Phase 1 and 12.1 weeks for Phase 2)

  2. Phase 1: Number of Participants With Objective Response

    OR in participants was defined as the participants with a CR or PR after 3 cycles of cabazitaxel treatment and maintained for at least 4 weeks as assessed by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 and RANO criteria for CNS tumors. For solid tumors, as per RECIST 1.1, CR defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions (any pathological lymph nodes, must had reduction in short axis to <10 mm); PR defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. For CNS tumors, as per RANO criteria, CR defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR defined as a ≥50% decrease in the sum of the products of the two perpendicular diameters of target lesions, compared to baseline measurement.

    Measured: Baseline, every 9 weeks until DP or death due to any cause (maximum duration: 112.1 weeks)

  3. Phase 1 and 2: Pharmacokinetics (PK) Parameter of Cabazitaxel: Area Under the Plasma Concentration (AUC) Versus Time Curve

    Blood samples for PK parameters were collected at 5 minutes before end of infusion (EOI), 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 3 hours, 7 hours and 71 hours after the EOI on Day 1 of Cycle 1.

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycle 1: 5 minutes before EOI up to 71 hours after the EOI

  4. Phase 1 and 2: PK Parameter of Cabazitaxel: Total Plasma Clearance (CL)

    Blood samples for PK parameters were collected at 5 minutes before EOI, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 3 hours, 7 hours and 71 hours after the EOI on Day 1 of Cycle 1.

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycle 1: 5 minutes before EOI up to 71 hours after the EOI

  5. Phase 1 and 2: PK Parameter of Cabazitaxel: Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss)

    Blood samples for PK parameters were collected at 5 minutes before EOI, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 3 hours, 7 hours and 71 hours after the EOI on Day 1 of Cycle 1.

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycle 1: 5 minutes before EOI up to 71 hours after the EOI

  6. Phase 1 and 2: PK Parameter of Cabazitaxel: Maximum Plasma Concentration Observed (Cmax)

    Blood samples for PK parameters were collected at 5 minutes before EOI, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 3 hours, 7 hours and 71 hours after the EOI on Day 1 of Cycle 1.

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycle 1: 5 minutes before EOI up to 71 hours after the EOI

  7. Phase 2: Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    The PFS was defined as the time (in months) from the date of first dose administration until the date of first documented PD or death (from any cause), whichever came first. If progression or death was not observed, the participant was censored at the date of the participant's last progression-free tumor assessment prior to the study cut-off date. PD as per RANO criteria was defined as ≥25% increase in the product of perpendicular diameters of any target lesion, taking as reference the smallest product observed since the start of treatment or the appearance of one or more new lesions, or worsening neurologic status not explained by causes unrelated to tumor progression (example, anticonvulsant or corticosteroid toxicity, electrolyte disturbances, sepsis, hyperglycemia, presumed post-therapy swelling etc) plus any increase in tumor cross-sectional area (or tumor volume). The analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline, every 9 weeks until DP or death due to any cause (maximum duration: 12.1 weeks)

  8. Phase 2: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time (in months) from the date of first dose administration until the date of death (from any cause). If death was not observed, the participant was censored at the earliest of the last date the participant was known to be alive and the study cut-off date. The analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Baseline up to death or study cut-off (maximum duration: 12.1 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cabazitaxel (XRP6258) in people with Malignant Solid Tumor - Malignant Nervous System Neoplasm, run by Sanofi at 13 sites in 2 countries.

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 21 inclusion and 11 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 12 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States, Canada. 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 combined 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.

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 12 Aug 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?

Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose of Cabazitaxel (time frame: Cycle 1 (21 days)). The study lists 3 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 12 Aug 2016.
