Show all 24Show fewer
  • Resolution of all chemotherapy- or radiation-related toxicities to ≤ grade 1 (except for stable sensory neuropathy ≤ grade 2 and alopecia) prior to commencement of study participation
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2
  • Adequate renal function: creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min Cockcroft and Gault formula
  • Adequate bone marrow function: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L, hemoglobin ≥ 10.0 g/dL (a hemoglobin <10.0 g/dL is acceptable if it is corrected by growth factor or transfusion), and platelet count ≥ 100 x 10^9/L
  • Adequate liver function: bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limits of normal (ULN), alanine aminotransferase (ALT ≤ 3 x ULN (in the case of liver metastases ≤ 5 x ULN)
  • Measurable disease (RECIST 1.1)
  • Patients with known BRCA or ATM mutations or abnormalities (based on genomic profiling of tumor or germline genetic testing) are eligible if they meet all other inclusion criteria and have none of the exclusion criteria. The trial will not perform tumor genomic profiling or genetic testing but will document this information if available at study enrolment.
  • Patients with known central nervous system (CNS) disease are eligible provided all of the following criteria are met:
  • Measurable disease outside the CNS
  • Metastases are limited solely to cerebellar and supratentorial lesions (i.e., no metastases to midbrain, pons, medulla, or spinal cord)
  • If corticosteroids are required, the patient must be on a stable dose or tapering dose of corticosteroids for 4 weeks prior to enrolment as therapy for CNS disease
  • Anticonvulsants at a stable dose are allowed as long as the patient has been seizure free for 3 weeks prior to enrolment
  • No stereotactic radiation within 7 days or whole-brain radiation within 14 days prior to randomization
  • No evidence of progression or haemorrhage after completion of CNS directed therapy
  • Note: Patients with new asymptomatic CNS metastases detected at the screening scan must receive radiation therapy and/or surgery for CNS metastases. Following treatment, these patients may then be eligible, if all other criteria above are met.
  • Women of child-bearing potential and males with female partners with child bearing potential must use highly effective contraceptive measures while taking Trifluridine/tipiracil and for 6 months after stopping treatment. Trifluridine/tipiracil may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, and therefore women using hormonal contraceptives should add a barrier contraceptive method.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Ability to take and retain oral medications

Who cannot join

  • Radiation therapy encompassing more than 30% of marrow
  • Spinal cord compression not definitively treated with surgery and/or radiation, or previously diagnosed and treated spinal cord compression without evidence that disease has been clinically stable for at least 2 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Leptomeningeal disease
  • Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to Trifluridine/tipiracil .
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because Trifluridine/tipiracil is an agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Study of Trifluridine/Tipiracil in Triple Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

This is an open-label, single arm, multi-stage, phase II trial of Trifluridine/tipiracil as a palliative treatment for patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer who have failed both a taxane and anthracycline or have contraindications to these agents.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, single arm, multi-stage, phase II trial of Trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS-102) as a palliative treatment for patients with metastatic triple negative breast cancer who have failed both a taxane and anthracycline or have contraindications to these agents.

The trial will begin with a safety run-in of 10 patients treated as follows:

Cycle 1: Trifluridine/tipiracil administered at 30 mg/m2 orally bid, 5 days per week, with 2 days of rest, for 2 weeks, followed by 14 day rest. Intra-patient dose escalation to 35 mg/m2 orally bid, 5 days per week, with 2 days of rest, for 2 weeks, followed by 14 day rest for subsequent cycles in the absence of dose limiting toxicities. As long as at least 80% of patients tolerate dose escalation, the trial will proceed to the next stage.

Patients enrolled in stages I and II will start Trifluridine/tipiracil at 35 mg/m2 orally bid, 5 days per week, with 2 days of rest, for 2 weeks, followed by 14 day rest.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    The Primary Endpoint ORR is calculated by taking the number of patients who at 8 weeks following initiation of Trifluridine/tipiracil have either a CR or a PR on first scan and dividing it over the total number of evaluable patients. Patients with stable disease are not included in this calculation.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression free survival is defined as the time (in weeks) from the date of randomization until the date of the investigator-assessed radiological disease progression or death due to any cause. All patients will be followed until disease progression is documented according to RECIST 1.1 Criteria. The time measured in weeks between their baseline CT Scan and the first CT scan showing progressive disease as will be recorded as the progression free survival for that patient.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 45 months.

  2. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    All patients who have either a Complete Response, Partial Response or exhibit stable disease for a minimum of 16 weeks will be counted as having achieved disease control. The number of patients attaining disease control will be divided by the total number of evaluable patients to attain a DCR for the entirety of the trial cohort.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 45 months.

  3. Overall Survival

    The death of any patient in the trial from any cause will be recorded and the amount of time from enrollment in the trial until death will be recorded in weeks. A median overall survival for the entire cohort will then be calculated using this information.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 45 months.

  4. Safety and Tolerability: All adverse events experienced by all patients

    All adverse events experienced by all patients exposed to Trifluridine/tipiracil will be recorded and graded according to CTCAE version 5. These will be compared to the side effect profile presented in both the product monograph as well as the previously published phase III trial upon which the Health Canada approval is based.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 45 months.

  5. Quality of Life - Using EQ5D - A standardized questionnaire measuring quality of life

    Quality of life will be scored using the EQ5D. Patients will fill out this questionnaire prior to each follow up visit and the results will be compared within the same patient from visit to visit.

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever comes first, assessed up to 32 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Trifluridine/Tipiracil in people with Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer, run by AHS Cancer Control Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 7 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2020. 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 Canada. 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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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: 8 weeks). 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 11 Jun 2020.
