About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Trial of Neoadjuvant Sunitinib Administered With Weekly Paclitaxel/Carboplatin in Patients With Locally Advanced Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

This trial will examine the combination of sunitinib plus paclitaxel and carboplatin as neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

This open label, Phase I/II trial is designed to evaluate the combination of sunitinib plus paclitaxel and carboplatin as neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced breast cancer. The Phase I portion of this study will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of paclitaxel, sunitinib and carboplatin that can be used together as neoadjuvant treatment in patients with locally advanced breast cancer. The MTD identified in the Phase I portion of the study will be used in the Phase II portion which will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of neoadjuvant sunitinib/paclitaxel/carboplatin given for 6 cycles in patients with locally advanced breast cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase II: The Number of Subjects Exhibiting Pathologic Complete Response to Neoadjuvant Treatment With Sunitinib/Paclitaxel/Carboplatin

    Pathologic complete response (PCR) is defined as no residual invasive breast cancer in final breast or axillary lymph node samples.

    Measured: at weeks 26-30

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Assessments will be made through analysis of reported incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) at the phase II dose

    Measured: Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 4-week cycle up to 24 weeks during neoadjuvant treatment, and every 4 weeks during maintenance treatment

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Assessed by clinical, radiologic and surgical determinations before and after neoadjuvant therapy. Measurable lesions will be defined by RECIST criteria v1.1.

    Measured: Days 1, 8 and 15 of each cycle, minimum of 12 weeks

  3. Disease-free Survival

    Defined as the time between day of surgery to first documented disease occurrence or death due to any cause.

    Measured: every 4 weeks from date of surgery until treatment discontinuation or death, expected average 18 months

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Defined as the time between Day 1 Cycle 1 to time of death from any cause.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Paclitaxel, Carboplatin and Sunitinib in people with Breast Cancer, run by SCRI Development Innovations, LLC at 14 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 27 inclusion and 19 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 7 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 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 combined 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.

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 Dec 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?

Phase II: The Number of Subjects Exhibiting Pathologic Complete Response to Neoadjuvant Treatment With Sunitinib/Paclitaxel/Carboplatin (time frame: at weeks 26-30). 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 7 Sep 2016.
