What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response (OR) Rate (as Determined by the Investigator): the Number of Patients Assigned to a Treatment Arm With a Confirmed Best Response of Complete Response(CR) or Partial Response (PR).

    The assessment of OR is based on the response of target lesion, of non-target lesion and on presence of new lesions (RECIST Criteria (V1.0)-assessed by CT scan spiral and bone scan)

    • CR:Disappearance of all target lesions
    • PR:>=30% increase in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD),taking as reference the nadir SLD
    • Progressive Disease (PD):>=20% increase in the SLD, taking as reference the nadir SLD, or the appearance of one or more new lesions
    • Stable Disease(SD):Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the nadir SLD

    Measured: At screening, every 2 cycles (i.e. 6 weeks) during the first 6 cycles, every 3 cycles (i.e. 9 weeks) during the subsequent cycles and at the End of Treatment (EOT) visit. After the EOT, the tumor assessments should be performed every 9 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Corrected QT Interval Fridericia's Formula (QTcF)

    Prolonged QTcF: QTcF >450 msec and increase of baseline on greater than or equal to 60 msec.

    Measured: Panobinostat intra-venous (i.v.): All cycles pre-dose measurements. For cycles 1 and 2, post-dose measurements as well. / Panobinostat oral: Pre-dose and post-dose measurements for all cycles. Note: each cycle = 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Panobinostat - LBH589 in people with Breast Cancer, run by Translational Research in Oncology at 1 site 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 29 inclusion and 23 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 24 Nov 2015. 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 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 10 Apr 2012). 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?

Overall Response (OR) Rate (as Determined by the Investigator): the Number of Patients Assigned to a Treatment Arm With a Confirmed Best Response of Complete Response(CR) or Partial Response (PR). (time frame: At screening, every 2 cycles (i.e. 6 weeks) during the first 6 cycles, every 3 cycles (i.e. 9 weeks) during the subsequent cycles and at the End of Treatment (EOT) visit. After the EOT, the tumor assessments should be performed every 9 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 24 Nov 2015.
