  • Bilirubin greater than 1.5 mg/dl (>26 micromol /L, SI unit equivalent).
  • Aspartate amino transferase (AST) or alanine amino transferase (ALT) greater than three times the upper limit of normal.
  • Serum creatinine greater than 1.5 mg/dl (>132 micromol/L, SI unit equivalent).
  • Women and men (and their partners) who are sexually active and unwilling to use a medically acceptable method of contraception.
  • Pregnancy or breast-feeding.
  • Treatment with other investigational drugs; chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiotherapy or hormone therapy (including LHRH agonists, or other hormones taken for breast cancer), or participation in another clinical study within the past 4 weeks before start of therapy or concomitantly with this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response (OR)

    Objective response (OR) including complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) criteria .

    Measured: From first dose of study medication to response measurement, up to 34 month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from the first treatment to the occurrence of tumour progression or death, whichever came first. It was assessed according to RECIST criteria.

    Measured: From first dose of study medication to the occurrence of progression or death whichever came first, up to 34 month

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from first treatment to death or to the last date the patient was known to be alive.

    Measured: From first dose of study medication to death or to the last date the patient was known to be alive, up to 34 month

  3. Time to RECIST Tumour Reponse

    The time to OR was the duration from the first treatment to the time when the measurement criteria for CR and/or PR were met according to RECIST criteria.

    Measured: From first dose of study medication to time when OR measurement was taken.

  4. Duration of Confirmed OR

    Duration of confirmed OR is measured from the time of first OR to the time of progression or death (or date of censoring for progression free survival).

    Measured: From first OR to time of progression or death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BIBW 2992 in people with Breast Neoplasms, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 12 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 10 inclusion and 17 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 9 Jun 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, United Kingdom. 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 23 Dec 2013). 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?

Objective Response (OR) (time frame: From first dose of study medication to response measurement, up to 34 month). 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 9 Jun 2014.
