About this study

Official title: Phase IV Clinical Trial to Evaluate Safety of Eribulin in Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer

This clinical study is designed as an open, single group, multi-center, phase 4 clinical study to assess the safety of eribulin which is approved for the treatment of the patients in Korea with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who had received two to five prior chemotherapy regimens including anthracyclines and taxanes for advanced disease.

Subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria are administered of 1.4 mg/m2 of the investigational product intravenously in 2-5 min on day 1 and day 8 of every 21-day cycle. In case of the progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of the consent, or judgment by investigator that the treatment needs to be stopped, the treatment of investigational product is stopped, and treatment termination assessment is performed within 30 days from the last treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) and Any Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Event (SAE)

    An AE is defined as any harmful, untoward sign (including abnormal laboratory value, etc.), symptom, or disease in a participant administered investigational product that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. An SAE is defined as an AE that is life threatening or results in death, results in hospitalization (initial or prolonged), results in a disability (significant, persistent, or permanent change, impairment, damage or disruption in the participant's body function/structure, physical activities, or quality of life), results in a congenital anomaly, or requires intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage. TEAEs are defined as those events that started on or after the date and time of administration of the first dose of study drug and those events that were present prior to the administration of the first dose of study drug and increased in severity during the study.

    Measured: mean of 3.76 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR is defined as the number of participants with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD). The Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 was used to assess the tumor response. Tumor response was evaluated by investigators. CR is defined as the disappearance of all extranodal target lesions. All pathological lymph nodes must have decreased to <10 millimeters (mm) in the short axis. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters (SLD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. SD is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (SLD increased by at least 20% from the smallest value on study [including baseline, if that is the smallest]. The SLD must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. [Two lesions increasing from 2 mm to 3 mm, for example, does not qualify]).

    Measured: mean of 3.76 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Eribulin mesylate in people with Breast Neoplasms and Breast Cancer, run by Eisai Korea Inc. at 14 sites 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 23 inclusion and 18 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 7 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Oct 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?

Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) and Any Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Event (SAE) (time frame: mean of 3.76 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 7 Oct 2016.
