About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of an All-Oral Combination of Capecitabine (X) and Cyclophosphamide (C) in Patients With Anthracycline- and Taxane-Pretreated Metastatic Breast Cancer

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the time to progression. Secondary objectives are safety, OS and pharmacogenetic analysis. Sixty patients will be enrolled into this study.

Read the detailed description

Xeloda (capecitabine) is converted to 5-fluorouracil by thymidine phosphorylase, and cyclophosphamide is capable of upregulating the expression of thymidine phosphorylase suggesting a synergistic effect.

Conditions
Breast Cancer
Being tested
capecitabine and cyclophosphamide
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing capecitabine and cyclophosphamide in people with Breast Cancer, run by Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2008. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhonghua Wang, MD (8613918322628, zhonghuawang95@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

TTP (first treatment of this regimen to disease progression) (time frame: every two cycles). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00589901, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 18 Apr 2008.
