About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Pilot Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of the Addition of Vismodegib to Standard Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Triple Negative Breast Cancer Patients

To evaluate safety and efficacy of vismodegib with standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients based on the CTCAE v4 2010

  1. To study changes in biomarkers involved in the Hedgehog (HH) pathway in the first biopsy as compared to the later one
  2. To detect predictive factors among patients who reached pathological complete response (pCR) as compared to those with no pCR
  3. To evaluate the role of the addition of vismodegib in the pCR rate
  4. To evaluate clinical responses by breast MRI and rates of breast conservative surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy
  5. To evaluate QOL with EORTC QLQ-C30 scale
Conditions
Breast Cancer
Being tested
vismodegib, Paclitaxel, Epirubicin, Cyclophosphamide
Keywords

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: 21 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Molecular changes in breast

    Measured: 30 months

  2. Pathologic complete response (pCR)

    Measured: 30 months

  3. Clinical complete response (cCR)

    Measured: 21 months

  4. European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life questionnaire C30 (EORTC QOL-C30)

    We will consider data related to quality of life such as weakness, appetite, physical health, physiological health, social relationships, environment etc

    Measured: 30 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing vismodegib, Paclitaxel and Epirubicin in people with Breast Cancer, run by Clinica Universidad de Navarra, Universidad de Navarra at 1 site 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 9 inclusion and 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Amaya Izal (+34948255400 ext. 2724, aizal@unav.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (time frame: 21 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 24 Oct 2017.
