About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II Study of Two Chemotherapy Regimens, Pemetrexed-Carboplatin, and Gemcitabine-Vinorelbine, in Anthracycline and Taxanes Pretreated Advanced Breast Cancer Patients

The primary purpose of this study is to help answer the following research questions:

  • whether the chemotherapy combination therapy Pemetrexed-Carboplatin or Gemcitabine-Vinorelbine can help participants with advanced breast cancer to make the tumor smaller or disappear and for how long
  • to learn more about the side effects in each chemotherapy combination treatment arm
  • to assess how participants with advanced breast cancer report health changes while receiving any of the chemotherapy combination arm

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pemetrexed/CarboplatinExperimentalPemetrexed 600 mg/m^2 was administered intravenously over approximately 10 minutes on Day 1. Carboplatin was given over approximately 30 minutes on Day 1 beginning after the end of the Pemetrexed infusion, consistent with a target of AUC (Area under the plasma drug concentration versus time curve) 5.0 mg*min/mL. The cycle of treatment was 21 days.
Receives: Drug: Pemetrexed; Drug: Carboplatin
Gemcitabine/VinorelbineActive comparatorVinorelbine 30 mg/m^2 was given over approximately 6-10 minutes on Day 1 and Day 8. Gemcitabine 1200 mg/m^2 was given over approximately 30 minutes on Day 1 and Day 8 beginning after the end of the Vinorelbine infusion. The cycle of treatment was 21 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor Response Rate

    Participants with best overall response determined from complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. For CR or PR, best response must be confirmed. A second assessment performed at 28 days. Two determinations of CR before progression required for rate to=CR. Evaluations include: CR=Disappearance of lesions. PR=≥30% size decrease of lesions. Progressive Disease (PD)=≥20% size increase of lesions. Stable Disease (SD)=Not enough shrinkage for PR nor enough increase for PD. Overall Response Rate=PR+CR/Qualified Participants*100.

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days of follow-up after 21 cycles of treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR-RECIST criteria of (Complete Response [CR =Disappearance of lesions] or Partial Response [PR=≥30% size decrease of lesions]) is defined as time from the date when measurement criteria are met for CR or PR until the date of first observation of progressive disease (PD) or death from study disease. For participants who die from causes other than study disease and without PD, DOR will be censored at the date of death. For participants who have not died as of the data cut-off date who are without PD, DOR was censored at last contact date.

    Measured: Time of response to progressive disease (up to 19 months)

  2. Time to Progressive Disease (PD)

    Time to PD is defined as the time from the date of study enrollment to the first documented date of PD or death from study disease. For participants who die from causes other than study disease and without PD, time to PD was censored at the date of death. For participants not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and do not have PD, time to PD was censored at the last contact date. For participants who received subsequent chemotherapy (after discontinuation from the study chemotherapy) prior to disease progression, time to PD was censored at the date of subsequent chemotherapy.

    Measured: Baseline to measured PD (up to 25.1 months)

  3. Time To Treatment Failure (TTTF)

    TTTF is defined as the time from date of study enrollment to the first documented date of death, PD, or study treatment discontinuation due to adverse event (AE). For participants not known to have discontinued as of the data cut-off date, TTTF is censored at the last contact date. For participants who discontinued for reasons other than death, PD, or AE, TTTF is censored at the date of discontinuation.

    Measured: Baseline to end of treatment (up to 21.9 months)

  4. Time to Response

    Time to response (Complete Response(CR) or Partial Response (PR) is defined as the time from the date of study enrollment to the first date when the measurement criteria are met for complete response or partial response (whichever status is recorded first). CR=Disappearance of target lesions lesions. PR=≥30% size decrease of lesions.

    Measured: Baseline to response (up to 7.8 months)

  5. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE)

    A listing of adverse events is presented in the Reported Adverse Event Module.

    Measured: every cycle up to twenty-one 21-day cycles (plus 30 days of follow-up)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pemetrexed, Carboplatin and Gemcitabine in people with Breast Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 22 sites in 5 countries.

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 13 inclusion and 11 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 20 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 22 sites in Spain, Italy, Germany, South Africa, Turkey (Türkiye). 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 20 May 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?

Tumor Response Rate (time frame: Baseline up to 30 days of follow-up after 21 cycles of treatment). 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 NCT00325234.

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 20 May 2011.
