About this study

Official title: A Phase Ib, Open-label, Two Arm Study of i.v. and Oral Panobinostat (LBH589) in Combination With i.v. Trastuzumab (Herceptin®) and i.v. Paclitaxel as Treatment for Adult Female Patients With HER2 Overexpressing Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC)

The primary purpose of this study is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of both intravenous and oral panobinostat when given in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel. The study will evaluate safety and efficacy of the combination in adult female patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral panobinostat in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of iv LBH in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel.

    Measured: At least 21 day cycle for both arms

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Safety and tolerability throughout the study for both IV and oral arms to determine the recommended dose for phase ll trials.

    Measured: 4 weeks after end of treatment

  2. To evaluate the efficacy in the expansion phase of the trial when the MTD is defined.

    Measured: throughout the study and 4 weeks after end of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing IV LBH589, Oral LBH589 and trastuzumab in people with HER-2 Positive Breast Cancer and Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 7 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Belgium, Italy, United States, Australia, Netherlands. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral panobinostat in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of iv LBH in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel. (time frame: At least 21 day cycle for both arms). 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 19 Dec 2020.
