About this study

Official title: A Phase I With Dose Expansion to Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose of Liposomal Doxorubicin in Combination With Seliciclib for the Treatment of Patients With Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of seliciclib that can be given in combination with liposomal doxorubicin to patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

The Study Drugs:

Seliciclib is designed to stop cancer cells from dividing, which may cause them to die.

Doxorubicin is a chemotherapy drug that is designed to stop the growth of cancer cells, which may cause the cells to die. Liposomal doxorubicin is a redesigned version of doxorubicin. The drug, doxorubicin, is enclosed in a fat bubble called a liposome. This is designed to allow the drug to get into the tumor tissue better and to stay in the body for a longer time.

Study Groups:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will be assigned to a dose level of seliciclib based on when you joined this study. Up to 6 dose levels of seliciclib will be tested. At least 2 participants will be enrolled at each dose level. The first group of participants will receive the lowest dose level. Each new group will receive a higher dose than the group before it, if no intolerable side effects were seen. This will continue until the highest tolerable dose of seliciclib is found.

All participants will receive the same dose level of liposomal doxorubicin.

Drug Administration:

You will take seliciclib by mouth with a cup (8 ounces) of water twice a day on Days 1-3 of each 28-day study cycle. The 2 doses should be taken 12 hours apart. Seliciclib should be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. If you miss a dose, it can be taken up to 2 hours after the scheduled time. If it has been more than 2 hours, the missed dose should not be taken. You should resume taking the study drug at the next normally scheduled time.

You will receive liposomal doxorubicin by vein over 2-3 hours on Day 4 of each cycle.

On Days 5-28 you will not receive any study drugs.

Study Visits:

At all study visits, you will be asked about any side effects you may be having and about any other drugs you may be taking.

On Day 1 of every cycle:

  • You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your weight and vital signs.
  • Your performance status will be recorded.
  • Blood (about 1-2 teaspoons) and urine will be collected for routine tests.

During Week 2 of Cycle 1:

-Blood (about 1-2 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.

You will have an ECHO or MUGA scan at least every 4 cycles to check your heart function.

After every even-numbered cycles (Cycles 2, 4, 6 and so on), you will have either a CT or MRI scan to check the status of the disease.

Length of Study:

You may continue taking the study drugs for as long as the doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will no longer be able to take the study drug if the disease gets worse, if intolerable side effects occur, or if you are unable to follow study directions.

Your participation on the study will be over once you have completed the end-of-study visit.

End-of-Study Visit:

About 4-6 weeks after you have stopped receiving the study drugs, you will have an end-of-study visit. The following tests and procedures will be performed:

  • You will have a physical exam, including measurement of your weight and vital signs.
  • Your performance status will be recorded.
  • Blood (about 1-2 teaspoons) and urine will be collected for routine tests.
  • You will be asked about any symptoms you may be having and drugs you may be taking.

This is an investigational study. Seliciclib is not FDA-approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only.

Liposomal doxorubicin is FDA-approved and commercially available for metastatic breast cancer. The use of these drugs together is investigational.

Up to 40 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with a Dose Limiting Toxicity(DLT)

    Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) defined as NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (version 4.0): Grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia lasting > 2 weeks; Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia lasting >2 weeks; Febrile neutropenia; Grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicity that lasts > 72 hours despite appropriate medical management (excluding grade 3 fatigue); or Delay in administration of cycle 2 of therapy for >2 weeks due to myelosuppression. DLT must be considered treatment related and occur during cycle 1 of therapy.

    Measured: Cycle 1 of therapy (28 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants with Clinical Response

    Disease response assessed using standard imaging techniques every two cycles. Response measured and defined using modified RECIST criterias of CR, PR or SD at 6 months where Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum longest diameter; and Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for Progressive Disease (PD), taking as reference smallest sum of longest diameter since treatment started.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Liposomal Doxorubicin and Seliciclib in people with Breast Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

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 20 inclusion and 1 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Number of Participants with a Dose Limiting Toxicity(DLT) (time frame: Cycle 1 of therapy (28 days)). 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 26 Jun 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
