About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Open Label Clinical Study Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Albumin-Bound Paclitaxel Combined With Antiangiogenic Agents in First-line Treatment of Relapsed or Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label clinical study. 128 patients with relapsed or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who had not been systematically treated are going to be enrolled and randomly assigned to 3 groups. Group A: albumin-bound paclitaxel (260mg/m2, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks). Group B: albumin-bound paclitaxel (260mg/m2, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks)+ apatinib mesylate tablet (500 mg, orally, once daily, every 3 weeks). Group C: albumin-bound paclitaxel (260mg/m2, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks) + bevacizumab (7.5mg/kg, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks). The dosages of therapeutic drugs are allowed to be adjusted appropriately according to the toxic reaction of the patients. Patients in three groups continued to take medication until disease progression/death/toxicity was intolerable/the patient or investigator decided to discontinue the medication.

The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR, complete response (CR)+ partial response (PR) + stable disease (SD, > 6 months)), overall survival (OS), adverse events (AE), and potential predictive biomarker parameters related to treatment response (VEGF-A expression level) in peripheral blood.

Read the detailed description

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a special type of breast cancer (BC), which cannot benefit from endocrine therapy and anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) therapy due to lack of corresponding targets. Thus, it confers a hot spot and difficulty in clinical and basic research of BC. At present, the clinical treatment of TNBC is mainly relayed on chemotherapy based on anthracycline and taxane drugs with an unsatisfactory therapeutic effects and outcomes of the patients. Although data have suggested that antiangiogenic agents may have some benefit to TNBC patients, there seems to be a lack of clinical trials evaluating efficacy and safety of albumin paclitaxel combined with antiangiogenic agents in first-line treatment of relapsed or metastatic TNBC.

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label clinical study. 128 patients with relapsed or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who had not been systematically treated are going to be enrolled and randomly assigned to 3 groups. Group A: albumin-bound paclitaxel (260mg/m2, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks). Group B: albumin-bound paclitaxel (260mg/m2, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks)+ apatinib mesylate tablet (500 mg, orally, once daily, every 3 weeks). Group C: albumin-bound paclitaxel (260mg/m2, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks) + bevacizumab (7.5mg/kg, intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks). The dosages of therapeutic drugs are allowed to be reduced, among which the lowest allowable dosage of apatinib and bevacizumab can be reduced to 250mg and 5mg/kg, respectively. The dosage of albumin-bound paclitaxel can be adjusted appropriately according to the toxic reaction of the patients. The lowest allowable dosage of albumin-bound paclitaxel can be reduced to 180mg/m2, specifically. Patients in three groups continued to take medication until disease progression/death/toxicity was intolerable/the patient or investigator decided to discontinue the medication.

The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR), CBR (CR+PR+SD (> 6 months)), overall survival (OS), adverse events (AE), and potential predictive biomarker parameters related to treatment response (VEGF-A expression level) in peripheral blood.

For statistical description, Kaplan-Meier method is used to plot the progression-free survival curve and estimate the median progression-free survival and its 95% confidence interval. The secondary analysis is to plot the overall survival curve using Kaplan-Meier method and estimate its 95% confidence interval. Log-rank test is used to analyze the overall survival of the main stratified factors. Objective response rate, disease control rate and 95% confidence interval are also calculated.

The safety analyses will be mainly descriptive statistical analyses, listing the incidence, severity, association, risk, and outcome of adverse events that will occur in this study.

What participants receive

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

  • Albumin-Bound PaclitaxelDrug

    Albumin-bound paclitaxel is one of the standard first-line regimens for relapsed or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization until objective tumor progression or death.

    Measured: 2 Years.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    CBR is defined as the proportion of patients who have a complete, partial response or stable disease for more than 6 months to therapy.

    Measured: 2 Years.

  2. objective response rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients who have a partial or complete response to therapy.

    Measured: 2 Years.

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is defined as the time from randomization to the time of death from any cause.

    Measured: 2 Years.

  4. Adverse Event (AE)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

    Measured: 2 Years.

  5. Serum VEGF-A

    Potential predictive biomarker parameter in peripheral blood related to tumor response.

    Measured: 2 Years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Albumin-Bound Paclitaxel, Apatinib Mesylate and Bevacizumab in people with Triple-negative Breast Cancer, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University 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 15 inclusion and 13 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Sep 2026. 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 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Jing Liu, M.D. (+86-0552-3086178, 15805692769@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: 2 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 4 Sep 2026.
