About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Dasatinib to Treat Women With Stage IV or Inoperable Stage III Advanced Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to find out if dasatinib will safely reduce the size or spread of your tumor.

Read the detailed description

The introduction of biologics with specific molecular targets has initiated a trend toward improved survival in women with metastatic breast cancer.

The tyrosine kinase SRC (pp60src) is a member of a family of proteins that contribute to cellular signal transduction activities such as cell growth, differentiation, survival, adhesion and migration. Abnormal signaling has been linked to cancer metastases; thus, identification of molecular regulators or inhibitors of SRC present therapeutic opportunity for cancer patients. Src kinases consist of eight non-receptor tyrosine kinases (Src, Fyn, Yes, Lck, Lyn, Hck, Fgr and Blk) that interact with the intracellular domains of growth factor/cytokine receptors, (G-protein-coupled receptor)GPCRs and integrins.

Inhibition of SRC has also been associated with reversal of chemoresistance and restored sensitivity to drug-resistant ovarian cancer cells, suggesting potential as second- line treatment for previously treated populations. Dasatinib is a potent, broad spectrum inhibitor of 5 critical oncogenic tyrosine kinases, including SRC.

Patients will receive dasatinib, a Src inhibitor, at an initial dose of 50 mg PO BID, with real-time PharmacoDynamic dose adjustment following 4 weeks of therapy based on inhibition of phosphorylation of SRC, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and paxillin, until progression. The primary objective is to assess tolerability and estimate the proportion of patients who are progression-free at 16 weeks from the date of study enrollment.

A minimum of 2 (maximum of 3) tumor biopsies will be analyzed and compared for SRC signature: one at baseline (study enrollment, all patients); the second after 4 weeks of dasatinib therapy (all patients); and the third at progression (only patients who progress after a documented response).

Patients will receive continuous daily administration until documented disease progression, and will be followed until death.

The results of this study may be useful in designing future studies using dasatinib alone or in combination with chemotherapy, thus having the potential to alter the current standard of care in this incurable population.

Additional correlative studies will be conducted. Tumor biopsies will be analyzed and compared for SRC, pSRC, Ki67, and related genomic signatures.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • DasatinibDrug

    Also called Sprycel, BMS-354825

    An initial dose of 50 mg PO BID; following 4 weeks of treatment, dose adjustment will be based on inhibition of phosphorylation of FAK and paxillin per biopsy assessment, as well as toxicity assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimation of the Proportion of Progression-free Patients at 16 Wks.

    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions, or similar definition as appropriate.

    Proportion progression-free at 16 weeks.From first day of study related treatment with Dasatinib until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first.

    Measured: 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To Measure Response to Protocol Therapy Per RECIST Criteria

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Progression At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as a reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since treatment started, or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

    RECIST 1.0 Overall response:

    Complete Response (CR) Partial Response (PR) Stable Disease (SD) Progressive Disease (PD)

    CR= CR+CR and No new lesions PR= CR+SD; PR+SD and no new lesions SD= SD+SD and no new lesions PD= PD+any new lesions

    Measured: 16 weeks

  2. Characterization and Comparison of SRC (A Protein Tyrosine Kinase)Dysregulation at Baseline (All Patients), After 4 Weeks of Dasatinib Treatment (All Patients), and at Progression (Only Patients Who Progress After Documented Response)

    For the 20 patients with evaluable biopsies at baseline and week 4, the median relative change from baseline in tissue biomarker levels of phospho-Src (p-Src)

    Measured: 4 weeks

  3. Correlate SRC Dysregulation Results With Response to Dasatinib Therapy

    Since all patients progressed there is no comparison to between responders and non-responders.

    Measured: 16 weeks

  4. To Explore the Association Between Each Patient's SRC Signature and Their Time to Progression.

    Spearman's correlation between the change in SRC signature from baseline to 4 weeks and time to progression

    Measured: Baseline Src measure to first progression

  5. To Explore the Association Between Dasatinib and Osteoclastic Bone Resorption

    Not assessed secondary to limited number of subjects.

    Measured: not assessed

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dasatinib in people with Advanced Breast Cancer, run by Duke University at 3 sites in United States.

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 12 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 Jul 2013. 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 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 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 17 Jul 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?

Estimation of the Proportion of Progression-free Patients at 16 Wks. (time frame: 16 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 17 Jul 2013.
