About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Capecitabine, Oxaliplatin and Trastuzumab (CAPOX-T) in Patients With HER-2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer: Hoosier Oncology Group BRE03-61

In vitro data suggest synergy between oxaliplatin and 5-FU. The combination of oxaliplatin with 5-fluorouracil produced objective response rates ranging from 27-34% in two studies of patients with prior chemotherapy. Capecitabine was designed as an orally administered, tumor selective fluoropyrimidine, preferentially converted to 5-FU at the tumor site by the higher levels of pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (PyNPase) in tumor tissues compared to normal tissues. The end result is higher concentrations of 5-fluorouracil in tumor relative to surrounding normal tissue. Trastuzumab is synergistic in vitro with multiple chemotherapeutic agents including the platinum compounds. Studies have shown the efficacy of trastuzumab combined with chemotherapy in patients with HER2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer. This trial will investigate the activity of capecitabine and oxaliplatin administered with trastuzumab (CAPOX-T) in patients with HER2 overexpressing in patients with advanced disease.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE: This is a multi-center study.

  • CAPOX-T (21 day cycle):Capecitabine 825 mg/m2 orally twice daily Days 1-14Oxaliplatin 100 mg/m2 intravenously Day 1
  • Trastuzumab : 6 mg/kg intravenously Day 1.8mg/kg loading dose should be given in cycle 1 for patients without previous trastuzumab therapy only.

Patients may continue combination therapy until progression or toxicity intervenes. Patients who discontinue either or both cytotoxic agents due to toxicity may, at the investigators discretion, continue therapy with the remaining agents on study until progressive disease

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Capecitabine, Oxaliplatin and Trastuzumab in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Hoosier Cancer Research Network at 11 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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of patient accrual). Results are not available in the source record.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

- · To determine the objective response rate (CR+PR) of capecitabine, oxaliplatin and trastuzumab(CAPOX-T) in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer. (time frame: 18 months). 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 May 2011.
