About this study

Official title: Phase 1/2 Open-Label Trial Of Sutent (Sunitinib Malate) And Aromasin(Exemestane) In The First-Line Treatment Of Hormone Receptor-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer

To assess progression-free survival at the combination dose determined in the Phase 1 portion of the study, and safety of sunitinib combined with exemestane in patients with metastatic or locally-recurrent, unresectable breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

The trial was terminated prematurely on August 28, 2008 due to the inability to recruit the planned number of subjects in order to provide meaningful efficacy data. There were no safety concerns regarding the study in the decision to terminate the trial.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from enrollment to first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death on study due to any cause, whichever occurred first. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. PFS was to be calculated as (first event date - the date of enrollment +1)/7.

    Measured: From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks) or death

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Overall Response (OR) According to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    OR=from start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence. Complete response (CR)=disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR)= ? 30% decrease in sum of longest dimensions of lesions taking as reference baseline sum longest dimensions. Progressive disease (PD)= ? 20% increase in sum of longest dimensions of lesions taking as reference smallest sum of the longest dimensions since treatment started, or appearance of ? 1 new lesion. Stable disease (SD)=neither shrinkage for PR or increase for PD taking as reference smallest sum of longest dimensions since treatment start.

    Measured: From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks)

  2. Duration of Response (DR)

    DR was defined as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death on study. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. DR was to be calculated as (the end date for DR - first CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed +1)/7.

    Measured: From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks) or death due to cancer

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from date of enrollment to date of death due to any cause. OS was to be calculated as (the event date - the date of enrollment +1)/7.

    Measured: From start of study treatment until death

  4. Time to Tumor Progression (TTP)

    TTP was defined as the time from enrollment to first documentation of objective tumor progression. If tumor progression data included more than 1 date, the first date was used. TTP was to be calculated as (first event date - the date of enrollment +1)/7.

    Measured: From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks)

  5. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    The clinical benefit rate (CBR) was the measure for clinical benefit (CB) and was defined as the percent of subjects with confirmed CR or confirmed PR, or confirmed SD according to RECIST, relative to the total analysis population. CRs were those that persisted on repeat imaging study ?4 weeks after initial documentation of response.

    Measured: From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing exemestane and sunitinib malate in people with Breast Neoplasms, run by Pfizer at 3 sites in 2 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 21 Sep 2010. 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 Canada, 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 30 Aug 2010). 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: From start of treatment until Day 1 of every other cycle (8 weeks) or death). 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 21 Sep 2010.
