About this study

Official title: "An Open Label Study to Assess the Effect of Neoadjuvant Treatment With Docetaxel + Xeloda + Avastin on Pathological Response Rate in Inflammatory or Locally Advanced Breast Cancer"

This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of combination first-line treatment with docetaxel + Xeloda + Avastin in patients with inflammatory or locally advanced breast cancer. Patients will receive 3-weekly cycles of Avastin (15mg/kg i.v. on day 1 of each cycle), docetaxel (75mg/m2 i.v. on day 1 of each cycle, after Avastin) and Xeloda (2000mg/m2 p.o. on days 1-15 of each cycle). Four cycles of chemotherapy are planned, plus an optional additional two cycles; after chemotherapy patients will be assessed for surgery. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Pathological Complete Response (pCR)

    pCR was defined as the absence of viable tumor cells, as determined by standard histologic procedure, in the tumor specimen (including regional lymph nodes) obtained at surgery. In order to minimize evaluation bias, tumor specimens were analyzed by both a central and local pathologist. The number of participants with pathological tumor stage 0 (pT0) and regional lymph nodes stage 0 (pN0) at surgery was determined. pCR was defined as the number of participants with pT0 and pN0 at surgery divided by the total number of participants with pathological tumor stage data collected.

    Measured: At time of surgery, after receiving up to 6 cycles of treatment (average of 12 to 18 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving an Overall Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)

    The percentage of participants with a best overall response of CR or PR according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). CR was defined as complete disappearance of all target lesions and non-target disease, with the exception of nodal disease. All nodes, both target and non-target, must have decreased to normal (short axis less than [<]10 millimeters [mm]). No new lesions. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥) 30 percent (%) decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target lesions. The short aixs was used in the sum for target nodes, while the longest diameter was used in the sum for all other target lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-target disease. No new lesions.

    Measured: Day 1 of Cycles 1-6

  2. Progression-Free Survival

    Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of informed consent until the date disease progression was identified, or the date of death from disease progression, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: Cycles 1-6

  3. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of informed consent until the date of death due to any cause.

    Measured: Cycles 1-6

  4. Percentage of Participants Undergoing Breast-Conserving Surgery

    The percentage of participants who were able to undergo breast-conserving surgical procedures (segmentectomy plus lymphadenectomy or quadrantectomy plus lymphadenectomy) rather than non-breast conserving procedures (radical mastectomy or modified-radical mastectomy) following 4 or more treatment cycles.

    Measured: Following Cycle 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bevacizumab [Avastin], Docetaxel and Xeloda in people with Breast Cancer, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in 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. 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 11 Aug 2014). 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 Achieving Pathological Complete Response (pCR) (time frame: At time of surgery, after receiving up to 6 cycles of treatment (average of 12 to 18 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 11 Aug 2014.
