Enzastaurin + FulvestrantExperimentalParticipants received Enzastaurin loading dose of 1125 mg, on Day 1 of Cycle 1 only then received Enzastaurin 500 mg orally (QD) once daily in a 28-day cycle. Participants received enzastaurin loading dose of 1125 mg, on Day 1 of Cycle 1 only then received Enzastaurin 250 mg orally (BID) twice daily in a 28-day cycle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Best Response of Complete Response, Partial Response, and Stable Disease (CR+PR+SD) (Clinical Benefit Rate)

    Clinical benefit rate is defined as the rate of confirmed CR, confirmed PR, and SD for 24 weeks duration and is the best response CR, PR, or SD as classified by the investigators according to the RECIST v1.1. CR is a disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. PR is an at least 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameter) without progression of not-target lesions or appearance of new lesions. SD is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum diameter since treatment started. Kaplan-Meier (KM) techniques were used to assess the time-to-event endpoints. Progressive Disease (PD) was defined as having at least 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and minimum 5 mm increase above nadir.

    Measured: Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease or Study Discontinuation (Up to 24 Weeks)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Overall Tumor Response Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [Overall Response Rate (ORR])

    The ORR is equal to the percentage of participants achieving a best overall response of partial response or complete response (PR + CR), according to RECIST version 1.1 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes must have reduction in short axis to <10 millimeter (mm) and normalization of tumor marker level of non-target lesions; PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; PD was defined as having at least 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and minimum 5 mm increase above nadir; SD was defined as small changes that did not meet above criteria. Participants who had no post baseline tumor assessments were considered non-responders and included in the denominator when calculating response rate. The 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated by exact method. Kaplan-Meier (KM) techniques were used to assess the time-to-event endpoints.

    Measured: Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease or Study Discontinuation (Up to 24 Weeks)

  2. Duration of Clinical Benefit

    The duration of clinical benefit was measured from the time of clinical benefit of CR, PR or SD to the time of progressive disease or death from any cause. PD was defined as having at least 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and minimum 5 mm increase above nadir. Kaplan-Meier (KM) techniques were used to assess the time-to-event endpoints.

    Measured: Time of Clinical Benefit to Progressive Disease or Death (Up to 3 Years)

  3. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival (PFS) time was defined as the time from baseline to the first date of progressive disease (symptomatic or objective) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PD was defined as having at least 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and minimum 5 mm increase above nadir.For participants who were not known to have died or progressed as of the data-inclusion cutoff date, PFS time was censored at the date of the last objective progression-free disease assessment prior to the date of any subsequent systematic anticancer therapy. PFS was summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease or Death Due to Any Cause (Up to 3 Years)

  4. Number of Participants Who Discontinued With Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Clinically significant events were defined as serious AEs (SAEs) and other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events module. Participants who discontinued due to an AE or SAE are reported.

    Measured: From Baseline to Study Completion (Up to 3 years, 9 months)

  5. Percentage of Participants With Enzastaurin Biomarkers and Disease State

    Measured: Baseline, Cycle 2 to Study Completion (Up to 3 Years, 9 Months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing enzastaurin and fulvestrant in people with Breast Cancer, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 21 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 10 inclusion and 13 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 1 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 Nov 2019). 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?

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Best Response of Complete Response, Partial Response, and Stable Disease (CR+PR+SD) (Clinical Benefit Rate) (time frame: Baseline to Measured Progressive Disease or Study Discontinuation (Up to 24 Weeks)). 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 1 Nov 2019.
