About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase 2 Study Of SU011248 Versus Standard-Of-Care For Patients With Previously Treated, Advanced, Triple Receptor Negative (ER, PR, HER2) Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare progression free survival for SU011248 [sutent (sunitinib malate)] versus standard of care therapy in patients with previously treated, advanced, triple receptor negative (ER, PR, HER2) locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.

Being tested
SU011248, Chemotherapy
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • SU011248Drug

    Also called Sutent, sunitinib malate

    SU011248 capsules administered orally, daily in a continuous regimen, 3-week cycles, starting dose of 37.5 mg daily. 1-week treatment rests and dose reductions allowed for dose-limiting toxicity. Dose escalate SU011248 to 50-mg daily if minimal toxicities . Study will continue until disease progression. Patients randomized to or crossed over to SU011248 may continue beyond the time of Response Evaluation Criterion in Solid Tumors (RECIST) -defined progression at the discretion of the investigator in the case of clinical benefit.

  • ChemotherapyDrug

    The choice of chemotherapy will be at the discretion of the investigator within the limits outlined below.

    1. Capecitabine - 1000-1250 mg/m2 twice daily days 1-14 every 3 weeks
    2. Vinorelbine - 25-30 mg/m2 rapid intravenous infusion or 60-80 mg/m2 oral weekly, expressed in 3-week cycles
    3. Docetaxel - 75-100 mg/m2 every 3 weeks
    4. Paclitaxel - 175-200 mg/m2 every 3 weeks
    5. Paclitaxel - 80-90 mg/m2 weekly, in a continuous regimen expressed in 3-week cycles or administration of 3 weeks of treatment followed by 1 week of rest. Use of the 3/1 regimen will require extra care in scheduling disease assessments.
    6. Gemcitabine - 800-1250 mg/m2 Days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks Study will continue until disease progression or it is in the best interest of the patient to discontinue based on achievement of maximum benefit or tolerability issues. At the time of progression patients randomized to chemotherapy will be offered crossover to single agent SU011248.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Time in months from start of study treatment to first documentation of objective tumor progression (per RECIST) or death due to any cause. PFS was calculated as (first event date minus first randomization date plus 1) divided by 30.4. Tumor progression was determined from oncologic assessment data (where data meet the criteria for progressive disease [PD]), or from adverse event (AE) data (where the outcome was "Death").

    Measured: Baseline, every 6 weeks until disease progression or death (up to 3 years from first dose)

Secondary outcomes (19)
  1. Proportion of Participants With Objective Response

    Objective response based assessment of confirmed response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to RECIST. CR are those that persist on repeat imaging study at least 4 weeks after initial documentation of response. PR are those with a greater than or equal to (≥) 30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions (SLD) of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline SLD.

    Measured: Baseline until response or disease progression (up to 3 years from first dose)

  2. Duration of Response (DR)

    Time in months from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to objective tumor progression or death. Duration of tumor response was calculated as (the date of the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to cancer minus the date of the first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed plus 1) divided by 30.4. DR was calculated for the subgroup of participants with a confirmed objective tumor response.

    Measured: Time from first response to disease progression up to 3 years from first dose

  3. Survival Probability at 1 Year

    Probability that the participants will survive at end of 1 year from the first dose of study treatment. Calculated using data collected from baseline until death (up to 3 years after first dose of study medication). Probability calculated from Kaplan-Meier estimate.

    Measured: Baseline until death (up to 3 years after first dose of study medication)

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time in months from the date of randomization to date of death due to any cause. OS was calculated as (date of death minus randomization date plus 1) divided by 30.4. Death was determined from adverse event data (where outcome was death) or from follow-up contact data (where the participant current status was death).

    Measured: Baseline until death (up to 3 years after first dose of study medication)

  5. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and Disease Related Symptoms as Measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life (QoL) Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ-C30)

    EORTC QLQ-C30: global health/QoL, functional domains (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, social), and symptom scales/items (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea). Recall period: past week; response range: not at all to very much; global/QoL range: very poor to excellent. Scale score range: 0 to 100. Higher functional/global QoL score = better functioning and higher symptom score = greater degree of symptoms.

    Measured: Day 1, Cycle 1; Day 1, odd number cycles; and end of treatment (EOT)/withdrawal

  6. HRQoL and Disease Related Symptoms as Measured by EORTC-QLQ-C30 Breast Cancer Module (BR23) Score

    BR23: measured disease related symptoms of dry mouth, eye pain, hair loss, hot flushes, attractiveness, future health, sexual activity, arm/shoulder pain, breast pain, swollen breast, and skin problems on the breast. Recall period: past week; response range: not at all to very much. Scale score range: 0 to 100. Higher symptom score = greater degree of symptoms.

    Measured: Day 1, Cycle 1; Day 1, odd number cycles; and EOT/withdrawal

  7. Observed Plasma Trough Concentrations (Ctrough) of Sunitinib

    Measured: Predose Day 1, Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 and Day 15 of Cycles 1, 2, and 3

  8. Ctrough of SU012662 (Metabolite of Sunitinib)

    Measured: Predose Day 1, Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 and Day 15 of Cycles 1, 2, and 3

  9. Ctrough of Total Drug (Sunitinib + SU012662)

    Measured: Predose Day 1, Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 and Day 15 of Cycles 1, 2, and 3

  10. Dose-corrected Ctrough of Sunitinib

    Ctrough = plasma concentration of sunitinib prior to study drug administration, dose corrected using the following formula Intended Dose/Actual Dose, where Actual Dose: the dose the participant received over the last 10 consecutive days and Intended Dose: the starting dose per study protocol.

    Measured: Predose Day 1, Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 and Day 15 of Cycles 1, 2, and 3

  11. Dose-corrected Ctrough of SU012662 (Metabolite of Sunitinib)

    Ctrough = plasma concentration of SU012662 prior to study drug administration, dose corrected using the following formula Intended Dose/Actual Dose, where Actual Dose: the dose the participant received over the last 10 consecutive days and Intended Dose: the starting dose per study protocol.

    Measured: Predose Day 1, Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 and Day 15 of Cycles 1, 2, and 3

  12. Dose-corrected Ctrough of Total Drug (Sunitinib + SU012662)

    Ctrough = plasma concentration of total drug (Sunitinib + SU012662) prior to study drug administration dose corrected using the following formula Intended Dose/Actual Dose, where Actual Dose: the dose the participant received over the last 10 consecutive days and Intended Dose: the starting dose per study protocol.

    Measured: Predose Day 1, Cycles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 and Day 15 of Cycles 1, 2, and 3

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 4 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 113 sites in United States, Bulgaria, Spain, Czechia, France and 7 more countries. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Jun 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: Baseline, every 6 weeks until disease progression or death (up to 3 years from first dose)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00246571, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Jul 2012.
