What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical Benefit Rate, in Centrally Confirmed Androgen Receptor (AR)+ Subjects

    To estimate the clinical benefit rate (defined as complete response, partial response, or stable disease) according to RECIST 1.1, in subjects with estrogen receptor positive/androgen receptor positive (ER+/AR+) BC who have centrally confirmed AR+ status. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions assessed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR; Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)= CR + PR + SD.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Clinical Benefit Rate, in Full Analysis Set

    To estimate the clinical benefit response rate in all subjects randomized who receive at least one dose of study medication (the FAS) regardless of AR status as determined by the central laboratory. o estimate the clinical benefit rate (defined as complete response, partial response, or stable disease) according to RECIST 1.1, in subjects with estrogen receptor positive/androgen receptor positive (ER+/AR+) BC who have centrally confirmed AR+ status. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions assessed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR; Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)= CR + PR + SD.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Objective Response (CR + PR) in AR+ Patients

    To estimate the clinical benefit rate (defined as complete response, partial response, or stable disease) according to RECIST 1.1, in subjects with estrogen receptor positive/androgen receptor positive (ER+/AR+) BC who have centrally confirmed AR+ status. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions assessed by CT or MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR; Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)= CR + PR + SD.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Best Overall Response in AR+ Patients

    To estimate the best overall response of GTx-024 9 mg and 18 mg

    Measured: From treatment initiation to end of treatment

  4. Progression Free Survival in All Subjects

    To estimate the progression free survival of subjects receiving Gtx-024 9 mg and 18 mg. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Subjects were assessed up through 24 months.

    Measured: From randomization to tumor progression or death

  5. Time to Progression in All Subjects

    To estimate the time to progression in subjects receiving Gtx-024 9 mg and 18 mg in all subjects. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. Time to progression was assessed up through 24 months.

    Measured: From randomization to tumor progression or death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GTx-024 in people with ER+ and AR+ Breast Cancer, run by GTx at 4 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 24 inclusion and 22 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 9 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 9 Dec 2020). 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?

Clinical Benefit Rate, in Centrally Confirmed Androgen Receptor (AR)+ Subjects (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 NCT02463032, 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 9 Dec 2020.
