What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Dose limiting toxicities during the first cycle of treatment.

    Measured: First treatment cycle (4 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Incidence of safety events during the whole treatment period (until progression of disease).

    Measured: From start of treatment until disease progression

  2. pharmacokinetics of BEZ235, BKM120 and paclitaxel given in combination, on Day 1, 8 and 22.

    Measured: First treatment cycle (4 weeks)

  3. Treatment efficacy (response to treatment according to RECIST criteria)

    Measured: From start of treatment until disease progression

  4. Impact of treatment on biomarkers of Pi3 Kinase pathway (analyses of skin biopsies, circulating markers)

    Measured: From start of treatment until disease progression

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BEZ235 + paclitaxel, BKM120 + paclitaxel and BEZ235 + paclitaxel + trastuzumab in people with Metastatic or Locally Advanced Solid Tumors, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 10 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 6 inclusion and 10 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 9 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 10 sites in Belgium, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, 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?

Incidence of Dose limiting toxicities during the first cycle of treatment. (time frame: First treatment cycle (4 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 9 Dec 2020.
