About this study

Official title: Docetaxel in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Who Have Been Heavily Pretreated, Including Prior Treatment With Paclitaxel or Docetaxel.

There is clinical benefit of docetaxel administered to patients who have progressed to 3 or more lines of chemotherapy including prior exposure to paclitaxel or docetaxel; using docetaxel in metastatic stage breast cancer previously exposed to taxanes equal therapeutic responses are obtained that it never received taxanes.

Read the detailed description

Methodology:

Prospective non-randomized phase IIa. The selected patients with metastatic breast cancer heavily pretreated including those previously treated with taxanes, receive docetaxel administered at a dose of 45mg/m2 body surface every 2 weeks to assess the activity of this drug.

Variables:

Age. Menopausal status. Hormone receptor status. Overexpression of HER2 neu. Location of metastatic sites. Performance status (PS) 0-3. comorbidities.

Case management in the variables (patient subgroups )

The patients with HER 2 neu overexpression of anti -HER2 therapy will further chemotherapy with docetaxel.

The patients presenting with brain metastases may receive radiation therapy to the brain and then at the end of radiotherapy, start docetaxel.

Patients whose tumors express estrogen receptors and progesterone positive receive treatment with docetaxel:

Where there is visceral crisis and it is shown that they have already progressed to more than 2 lines of previously administered hormone treatment.

In no event cytotoxic chemotherapy with concurrent docetaxel was administered to an anti-estrogen drug.

And they can continue only when hormone therapy has achieved complete response measurable lesions with docetaxel and opt for a non-cytotoxic anti-estrogen therapy and when it came to presenting unacceptable toxicity with docetaxel.

Evaluations:

clinical assessment that will include physical examination and review of laboratory studies were carried out every 2 weeks before authorizing the housing management of a next cycle.

The objective assessment of tumor response was carried out by imaging studies (CT) by RECIST criteria after administration of the 4 criteria of cycles, a cycle is administered every 2 weeks with docetaxel at a dose of 45mg/m2.

Response Criteria

  1. Response tumor shrinkage by royalty over 30%.
  2. Greater than 1 cm in the size of tumor lesions decrease.
  3. Disease-free survival
  4. Progression-free survival.
  5. Stable disease
  6. Improved quality of life that is decreased bone pain, improvement of dyspnea.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
docetaxelExperimentalmeasurement evaluation every 2 months tomography of all measurable lesions in millimeters, to assess response rate, partial and complete responses.
Receives: Drug: Docetaxel

What is being measured

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

  1. disease free interval

    more than 4 months free of clinically detectable cancer until recurrent cancer is diagnosed

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. partial response

    Decreases measurable tumor mass by 50% after treatment, With the report of Decreased size in millimeters of the original tumor.

    Measured: 2 months

  2. rate response

    percentage of patients who responded with a decrease greater than 40% of the lesions at the time of initiation of this treatment after 3 months of treatment.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Centro Universitario contra el Cáncer at 2 sites in Mexico.

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 0 inclusion and 1 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 27 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Mexico. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

disease free interval (time frame: 4 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 27 Jan 2016.
