What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Objective Response Rate(ORR)
ORR is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (v.1.1) criteria
Measured: Every 8 weeks upto 18 months from randomization date
Secondary outcomes (7)
Progression free survival(PFS)
PFS is defined as the time from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or death.
Measured: Up to 18 months from randomization date
Overall survival(OS)
OS is defined as the time from the date of inclusion to the date of death.
Measured: Up to 36 months from FPI
Time to treatment failure(TTF)
TTF is defined as the time from the randomization date to the date of discontinuation of treatment, regardless of the cause.
Measured: Up to 18 months from randomization date
Duration of response(DOR)
DOR is the time between the initial response to therapy and subsequent disease progression or relapse.
Measured: Up to 18 months from randomization date
Disease control rate(DCR)
DCR is defined as the percentage of subjects who were evaluated for complete response(CR), partial response(PR), and stable disease(SD) as the best response among from randomization.
Measured: Up to 18 months from randomization date
Quality of life(QoL)
Evaluate changes compared to baseline using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)
Measured: after randomization(C1D1), D1 of every 3rd cycle(each cycle consists of 28 days) up to 18 months
PK
Pharmacokinetics is defined as the study of the time course of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
Measured: The 12 eligible subjects will receive DHP107 and be taken blood samples for PK analysis on Day 1, 8 of Cycle 1

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing DHP107 and IV Paclitaxel in people with Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Daehwa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 15 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 16 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 15 sites in United States, Czechia. 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?
Objective Response Rate(ORR) (time frame: Every 8 weeks upto 18 months from randomization date). 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 NCT03326102, 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 16 Feb 2024.
