What is being measured

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

  1. Best Overall Tumor Response

    Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria that defines when participants improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable"), or worsen ("progression") during treatment.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease (tumor assessments were performed every 2 cycles during study therapy, or 3 months during post-therapy until disease progression, or up to 12 months after enrollment)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to Treatment Failure

    Defined as time from enrollment to the date of death due to any cause, measured disease progression, treatment discontinuation for undocumented progression, early treatment discontinuation for toxicity or other reason, or new anticancer treatment started.

    Measured: baseline to stopping treatment

  2. Progression-Free Survival

    Defined as the time from enrollment to the date of objective disease progression or death on study, whichever occurs first. Censoring was determined based on US-FDA 2005 draft guidance on clinical endpoints.

    Measured: baseline to measured progressive disease or death (tumor assessments were performed every 2 cycles during study therapy, or 3 months during post-therapy until disease progression, or up to 12 months after enrollment)

  3. Duration of Response

    Measured from the time of first documentation of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), whichever status is first recorded, until the date of objective disease progression or death on study, whichever occurs first, with censoring defined in the same way as for progression-free survival.

    Measured: time of response to measured progressive disease or death (tumor assessments were performed every 2 cycles during study therapy, or 3 months during post-therapy until disease progression, or up to 12 months after enrollment)

  4. Overall Survival Probability

    Original outcome was overall survival = time from date of enrollment to date of death due to any cause. Survival time was censored at date of last contact for participants who were still alive or lost to follow-up. Because only 8 participants had documented death while on study, results are reported as 6- and 12-month overall survival probability.

    Measured: baseline to date of death from any cause

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing gemcitabine and paclitaxel in people with Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 3 sites in China.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 17 Jun 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. 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 11 Jun 2009). 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?

Best Overall Tumor Response (time frame: baseline to measured progressive disease (tumor assessments were performed every 2 cycles during study therapy, or 3 months during post-therapy until disease progression, or up to 12 months after enrollment)). 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 17 Jun 2009.
