Trial summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Zoledronate may prevent bone loss and stop the growth of tumor cells in bone. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I-II, 24-Week, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Dose-Ranging Study To Evaluate The Safety And Efficacy Of A Humanized Monoclonal Antibody To PTHrP Versus Zoledronic Acid In Patients With Breast Cancer Metastatic To Bone

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Zoledronate may prevent bone loss and stop the growth of tumor cells in bone. It is not yet known whether monoclonal antibody is more effective than zoledronate in treating women who have breast cancer and bone metastases.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase I/II trial to compare the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody with that of zoledronate in treating women who have breast cancer and bone metastases.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the safety and tolerability of monoclonal antibody CAL vs zoledronate in women with breast cancer and bone metastases.
  • Compare, preliminarily, the potential effects of these drugs on skeletal events/manifestations related to bone metastases, including hypercalcemia, bone pain, bone metastatic lesions, complications (e.g., pathologic fracture and spinal cord compression), and interventions (e.g., surgery and radiotherapy) in these patients.
  • Compare changes in ECOG performance status in patients treated with these drugs.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of monoclonal antibody CAL in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to average prestudy pain score on question 3 of a daily electronic telephone pain diary (less than 3 vs 3 or more) and prior bisphosphonate therapy (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive monoclonal antibody CAL IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1.
  • Arm II: Patients receive a lower dose of monoclonal antibody CAL as in arm I.
  • Arm III: Patients receive a lower dose (lower than arm II) of monoclonal antibody CAL as in arm I.
  • Arm IV: Patients receive zoledronate IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1. Treatment in all arms repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients keep a pain diary throughout study participation.

Patients are followed at 24 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 72 patients (18 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing monoclonal antibody CAL and zoledronic acid in people with Breast Cancer and Hypercalcemia of Malignancy, run by Chugai Pharmaceutical at 1 site 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 15 May 2013. 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 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 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?

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 15 May 2013.
