What is being measured

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

  1. Progression free survival (PFS), as assessed locally by the investigator.

    Time to progression will be measured according to the RECIST criteria (version 1.1). Response criteria are essentially based on a set of measurable lesions identified at baseline as target lesions, and - together with other lesions that are denoted as non-target lesions - followed until disease progression.

    Measured: Time from the date of randomization to the date of progression, assessed up to 5 years.

Secondary outcomes (15)
  1. Health related quality of life score EuroQol (EQ-5D)

    Change from baseline to Health related quality of life score EuroQol (EQ-5D)

    Measured: Baseline to progression up to 2 years

  2. Health related quality of life score EORTC QLQ-C30

    European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Instrument (EORTC QLQ-C30).

    Measured: Baseline to progression up to 2 years

  3. Health related quality of life score EORTC QLQ-BR23

    European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Breast Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ-BR23).

    Measured: Baseline to progression up to 2 years

  4. Correlation of efficacy measures with tumor Biomarkers

    PgR IHC status (10% cut-off), will be correlated with PFS

    Measured: Correlative analyses will be performed after the end of the trial. PFS is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of progression assessed up to 5 years..

  5. Correlation of efficacy measures with tumor Biomarkers

    Ki67 IHC status, will be correlated with PFS

    Measured: Correlative analyses will be performed after the end of the trial. PFS is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of progression assessed up to 5 years.

  6. Correlation of efficacy measures with tumor Biomarkers

    ESR1 DNA somatic mutation status, will be correlated with PFS

    Measured: Correlative analyses will be performed after the end of the trial. PFS is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of progression assessed up to 5 years.

  7. Correlation of efficacy measures with tumor Biomarkers

    Somatic mutations in cancer genes identified by sequencing, will be correlated with PFS

    Measured: Correlative analyses will be performed after the end of the trial. PFS is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of progression assessed up to 5 years.

  8. Correlation of efficacy measures with tumor Biomarkers

    SET index, will be correlated with PFS

    Measured: Correlative analyses will be performed after the end of the trial. PFS is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date of progression assessed up to 5 years.

  9. Overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival from time of randomization to death from any cause.

    Measured: Time from randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years.

  10. 1-year survival

    1-year survival rate from time of randomization to death from any cause.

    Measured: Time from randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years.

  11. 2-year survival

    2-year survival rate from time of randomization to death from any cause.

    Measured: Time from randomization to death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years.

  12. Objective response

    Objective tumor response will be measured according to the RECIST criteria (version 1.1). Response criteria are essentially based on a set of measurable lesions identified at baseline as target lesions, and - together with other lesions that are denoted as non-target lesions - followed until disease progression.

    Measured: From randomization until end of treatment, assessed up to 5 years.

  13. Duration of response

    Response duration will be measured from the time measurement criteria for complete response (CR)/ partial response (PR) (whichever is first recorded) are first met until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented.

    Measured: From randomization until end of treatment, up to 5 years.

  14. Clinical Benefit Rate

    Clinical Benefit Rate is defined as CR+PR+stable disease (SD) for > 24 weeks

    Measured: From randomization until end of treatment, up to 5 years.

  15. Frequency of adverse events (AE)

    Adverse events will be recorded and graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 4.0

    Measured: From randomization until 28 days after the last dose of study medication, assessed up to 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Palbociclib, Fulvestrant and Capecitabine in people with Breast Cancer Metastatic, run by Theodoros Foukakis at 9 sites in 2 countries.

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 25 inclusion and 19 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 8 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Sweden, United Kingdom. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow accrual). 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?

Progression free survival (PFS), as assessed locally by the investigator. (time frame: Time from the date of randomization to the date of progression, assessed up to 5 years.). 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 8 Mar 2024.
