What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival

    PFS is defined as the period from the day of randomization until the first observation of lesion progression or death from any cause. Disease progression is defined as PD according to RECIST Ver. 1.1.

    Assessment period was from the day of randomisation until the first observation of lesion progression or death

    Measured: Baseline, every 6 weeks of study treatment period, and end of study,

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Survival

    OS is defined as the period from the day of randomization until the day of death from any cause.

    Assessment period was from the day of randomisation until the first observation of lesion progression or death

    Measured: Baseline, every 6 weeks of study treatment period, and end of study.

  2. Overall Response Rate

    ORR is the proportion of patients who are assessed as complete response or partial response as the best overall response among evaluable patients, according to RECIST Ver.1.1.

    Assessment period was from the day of randomisation until the first observation of lesion progression or death

    Measured: Baseline, every 6 weeks of study treatment period, and end of study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing NK105 and Paclitaxel in people with Breast Cancer Nos Metastatic Recurrent, run by Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Japan.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 29 Jul 2019). 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?

Progression Free Survival (time frame: Baseline, every 6 weeks of study treatment period, and end of study,). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01644890, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Jul 2019.
