What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved the Target Relative Dose Intensity (RDI) of 85%

    Relative Dose Intensity (RDI) is defined as the amount of drug administered over a specific time and is expressed as the fraction of that recommended for standard of care. The RDI for each participant was calculated as follows: (1) based on each participant's body surface area (BSA), a total planned dose for both eribulin (Dep) and capecitabine (Dcp) calculated for a full 4-cycle regimen; (2) actual total dose of eribulin (Dea) and capecitabine (Dca) for the full 4-cycle regimen as collected on the case report form; (3) overall RDI = (Dea/Dep + Dca/Dcp)/2. For each individual participant, the regimen was considered feasible if that participant was able to achieve an RDI of at least 85% of the 4 cycles of eribulin plus capecitabine treatment. Missing doses due to any reason was counted as zero in the RDI calculation.

    Measured: 21-Day Cycle 1 through 21-Day Cycle 4

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Use of Cold Cap for Alopecia

    Alopecia (hair loss) is a potential side effect of some chemotherapy agents. Chemotherapeutic drugs are toxic and could potentially harm the hair follicles (wear hair grows from) resulting in the hair falling out. It can occur in small patches on various parts of the body or all over the body and is usually temporary when related to cancer treatment. Cold cap therapy is one form of therapy for alopecia involving hair loss from the scalp. Wearing a cap or head covering with cold packs before, during, or after chemotherapy may help prevent hair loss as the cold narrows the blood vessels in the skin on your head which may lead to less of the drug reaching the hair follicles. Alopecia was one of the most common adverse events (AEs) related to eribulin only.

    Measured: On the day of study drug infusion treatments during Cycles 1 through 4

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Measured: Day 1 through 30 days after last dose of study drugs (approximately up to 3 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing eribulin mesylate and capecitabine in people with Estrogen Receptor Positive Tumor and Breast Cancer, run by Eisai Inc. at 23 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 13 inclusion and 11 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 22 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 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 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 20 Jun 2016). 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?

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved the Target Relative Dose Intensity (RDI) of 85% (time frame: 21-Day Cycle 1 through 21-Day Cycle 4). 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 22 Jun 2023.
