About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open, Single Arm Dose-escalation and Dose-expansion Study: to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Antitumor Activity of FCN-437c Alone or in Combination With Letrozole in ER+/ HER2- Advanced Breast Cancer

This is a multicenter, open, single arm dose escalation and dose expansion clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and antitumor activity of FCN-437c alone or in combination with letrozole in women with ER +/ HER2 - advanced breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, open, single arm clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of FCN-437c in combination with letrozole in postmenopausal women with ER + / HER2 - advanced breast cancer, and to evaluate the PK characteristics of FCN-437c monotherapy and combined therapy.

The single drug administration period (7 days) . The continuous administration period made up of 21 days of continuous administration, followed by 7 days of withdrawal, which made up of 28 days as a treatment cycle. The evaluation was conducted every 8 weeks until one of the following happened, disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, the researcher's decision or the patients' voluntary withdrawal from the study. The follow-up visit was conducted 30 days after the last administration. The telephone follow-up was conducted once every 3 months until the end of the study to record the survival period.

In the expansion period, FCN-437c was continuous administration per day for 21 days, followed by 7 days of withdrawal, making a treatment cycle of 28 days during which letrozole was continuously administrated 2.5 mg QD. Evaluation was conducted every 8 weeks until one of the following occurred, disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, decision of the researcher or patients' voluntary withdrawal of the study. Follow up visit was conducted 30 days after the last administration, followed by the survival period telephone follow-up every 3 months until the end of the study.

End of of the study was defined as the last patient in the dose expansion stage took the treatment for more than one year, or terminated the treatment (depending on which occurred earlier.

At the end of the study, patients with no disease progression were determined to continue taking FCN-437c according to the clinical benefits.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FCN-437cDrug

    Also called Dose-escalation and expansion

    • FCN-437c is a selective and potent CDK4/6 dual inhibitor, with broad antitumor activity in preclinical pharmacology models, favorable physical and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties, and acceptable toxicity profile in nonclinical studies.
  • Letrozole 2.5mgDrug

    Also called Dose-escalation

    • Letrozole is the latest generation of aromatase inhibitor. Letrozole lowers estrogen levels in postmenopausal women, which may slow the growth of certain types of breast tumors that need estrogen to grow in the body.
    • Letrozole is used to treat breast cancer in postmenopausal women. It is often given to women who have been taking tamoxifen (Nolvadex, Soltamox) for 5 years.

Model description
This study plans to start dose escalating from 50 mg, followed by 100, 200, 300, 450, and 600 mg as tentatively designated escalating dose groups. After the initial dose group, it is allowed to adjust the subsequent dose level according to the test data, but it will not exceed 100% dose increment. After the completion of DLT observation in each group, the next dose group and the number of cases were determined according to the safety, efficacy and PK data of the dose group. The traditional "3+3" method was used in the design of dose escalating stage, and the improved Fibonacci series was used for the dose increasing stage.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing FCN-437c and Letrozole 2.5mg in people with Breast Neoplasms, run by Ahon Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.

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 11 inclusion and 15 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 27 Jul 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 China. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Xichun Hu, M.D. (13816110335, xchu2009@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

DLT within 7 days of FCN-437c monotherapy (time frame: 7 days). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04488107, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 27 Jul 2020.
