About this study

Official title: Retrospective Observational Study of Nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®) Treatment in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer in Routine Clinical Practice

This is a national, multicenter, retrospective, observational post-authorization study (EPA-OD) study. The study will be conducted by reviewing the medical records of patients up to the start of the study. In each case, only data from before the start of the study will be obtained in order to ensure they are retrospective in nature, thus reflecting the regular use of nab-paclitaxel in clinical practice and avoiding interference with the physician's clinical practice.

To ensure the observational nature of this study, these data will be collected whenever they are available in the patient's medical record, and so no diagnostic or therapeutic intervention outside regular clinical practice will be used.

Read the detailed description

This is a national, multicenter, retrospective, observational post-authorization study (EPA-OD) study. Investigators will include all consecutive adult patients diagnosed with HER2-negative MBC who have started treatment with nab-paclitaxel monotherapy no further than the third line of chemotherapy for metastatic disease during the past 3 years (2012-2014). These patients must meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria established in this protocol.

The primary objective is to describe the effectiveness of nab-paclitaxel in terms of response in early lines of chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer in routine clinical practice.

This study plans to collect data retrospectively, provided they are available in the patient's medical record and according to routine clinical practice.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Abraxane® treatment in patients with metastatic breast cancerPatients diagnosed with HER2-negative MBC who have started treatment with nab-paclitaxel monotherapy no further than the third line of chemotherapy for metastatic disease during the past 3 years (2012-2014) and who give their consent to data collection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    The number of patients who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST v1.1 criteria during treatment with nab-paclitaxel until disease progression, the end of treatment or the start of the study, whichever comes first.

    Measured: Up to approximately 8 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    The number of patients who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) during the first 3 treatment cycles with nab-paclitaxel and the corresponding 95% CI will be calculated.

    Measured: Up to approximately 8 months

  2. Disease control rate (DCR)

    The percentage of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) for at least 16 weeks, and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) will be calculated.

    Measured: Up to approximately 8 months

  3. Time to disease progression (TTP)

    Is defined as the time from the start of treatment with nab-paclitaxel to disease progression or death due to progression. TTP will be estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. The median and confidence interval for the median at 95% reliability (95% CI) will be calculated. In patients who show no disease progression or who have not died, the date of censoring may be the day on which the patient's death is documented, the day of the last follow-up assessment or the day of the last tumor assessment in case the foregoing is not available.

    Measured: Up to approximately 8 months

  4. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Is defined as the time from the start of treatment with nab-paclitaxel to disease progression or death from any cause. PFS will be estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients who have shown no disease progression or who have not died at the time of data collection will be censored on the date on which it was last known that no disease progression occurred. The date of censoring may be the day of the last follow-up assessment or the day of the last tumor assessment in case the foregoing is not available.

    Measured: Up to approximately 8 months

  5. Overall survival (OS)

    Is defined as the time from the start of treatment with nab-paclitaxel to death from any cause. OS will be estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients who have not died at the time of data collection will be censored on the date on which they are last known to be alive. The date of censoring may be the day of the last follow-up assessment or the day of the last tumor assessment in case the foregoing is not available.

    Measured: Up to approximately 8 months

  6. Adverse Events (AEs)

    Number of participants with adverse events

    Measured: Up to approximately 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Neoplasms, run by Celgene Corporation at 19 sites in Spain.

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 6 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in Spain. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Given the infeasibility to achieve the study population together with the loss of originality in the scientific rationale, it was considered to cancel the study). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Overall response rate (ORR) (time frame: Up to approximately 8 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 1 Nov 2016.
