About this study

Official title: A 24-Week Blinded Study Conducted at Multiple Centers, Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of Various Doses of the Investigational Drug (CAL) Versus Zoledronic Acid (Zometa®) When Randomly Assigned to Patients With Breast Cancer That Has Metastasized to Bone

This study is intended to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and possible effectiveness of an investigational humanized monoclonal antibody (CAL) to the parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) when compared to zoledronic acid in patients with breast cancer metastatic to bone.

The study will also evaluate the possible effects of both study drugs on performance status, markers of bone metabolism, and skeletal events related to bone metastasis including elevated blood calcium levels, bone pain, metastatic lesions, complications and interventions. The levels of CAL in the blood will also be evaluated.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CAL in people with Breast Neoplasms and Breast Cancer, run by Chugai Pharma USA at 38 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 24 Jun 2005. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States. 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 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.

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.

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 24 Jun 2005.
