About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Doxil and Multiday Vinorelbine in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer

This is a phase II trial of Doxil on day 1 and vinorelbine on days 1 and 2 in women with metastatic breast cancer. Administered every 28 days. A study to assess the safety and efficacy of Doxil and vinorelbine in metastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

PROTOCOL SUMMARY

Study design: Phase II trial of monthly Doxil® and vinorelbine on day 1 and 2 in women with metastatic breast cancer.

Treatment plan: Patients will continue therapy, until they have unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Primary endpoint: Response rate

Secondary endpoints: Time to progression, overall survival and toxicity.

Additional study objectives: Evaluation of treatment-related dyspnea, with measurement of pulse oximetry during and after drug administration, and rigorous study of patients who experience dyspnea. Palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) will be treated with one of 2 randomly assigned topical salves, measuring duration and severity of symptoms.

Eligibility: Women who have had prior chemotherapy in the adjuvant or metastatic setting, or both, up to 3 prior regimens. Patients having more than one prior regimen for metastatic disease must have a performance status of 0 or 1; others may have 0-2. No prior Doxil® or vinorelbine therapy. Patients are ineligible if prior anthracycline dose is greater than 400 mg/m2, or if they have primary anthracycline-refractory disease, with disease progression during treatment or with relapse/recurrence within 6 months after last dose of anthracycline. Patients must have normal neurologic, hematologic, renal and hepatic functional parameters. Asymptomatic brain metastases are permissible.

Treatment plan: Doxil® 40 mg/m2 IV infusion over 60 minutes on day 1 Vinorelbine 15 mg/m2 IV over 6 minutes on days 1 and 2 Dexamethasone 4 mg IV or 8 mg po (Doxil® pretreatment) Heparin 5000 U IV (Vinorelbine pretreatment) Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) 200 mg po qd Repeat every 28 days.

Supportive measures:

For anemia (hematocrit < 35): Procrit® 40,000 U q wk For neutropenia (ANC < 1,000/mm3 ): Prophylactic antibiotics (Cipro® or Septra®) For all cycles after neutropenic fever/infection or grade 3-4 stomatitis: Prophylactic Neulasta® 6 mg SQ on day 3 (This intervention may be adopted for all patients, all cycles, if 2 of the first 4 patients enrolled need it.) For PPE: randomize between 2 topical salves and document duration and severity of sx

Dose adjustments: Subsequent cycles are given on day 29 or after recovery or to grade 0-1 toxicity, with no more than 3 weeks delay. Reduce dose of both drugs by 25% if grade 3 or 4 stomatitis or palmar-plantar or grade 4 thrombocytopenia. Reduce dose of Doxil® ONLY by 50-75% if abnormal bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase and/or ALT, AST (appendix 14.3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Doxil and Vinorelbine in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Hematology Oncology Consultants at 2 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?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 10 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 2 Jun 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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 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 Leslie R Laufman, MD (614-846-0044, email@hoci.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response rate. 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 2 Jun 2008.
