About this study

Official title: Phase I-II Study of Liposomal Doxorubicin (Myocet®), Docetaxel and Trastuzumab as First-Line Treatment of Patients With HER-2/Neu Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

To study the pharmacokinetic profile of the therapeutic schedule in order to demonstrate absence of negative interactions among the 3 drugs administered

Read the detailed description
  1. To assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Myocet at different dosages in combination with Taxotere at the fixed dose of 35 mg/m2 on day 2 and 9 every 21 days and weekly Herceptin as first line therapy in patients affected by HER-2/neu positive metastatic breast cancer
  2. To enhance the proportion of complete remission
  3. To allow the feasibility of the combination of Herceptin with both Myocet and Taxotere without an enhanced risk of cardiotoxicity
Being tested
Liposomal Doxorubicin (Myocet), Docetaxel and Trastuzumab
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Liposomal Doxorubicin (Myocet), Docetaxel and Trastuzumab in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Zeneus Pharma at 1 site in Italy.

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 8 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 8 Nov 2005. 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 Italy. 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 Professor Amadori (+39 0543 731737, segronco@ausl.fo.it), or a site near the patient. 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 8 Nov 2005.
