About this study

Official title: Anti-EGFR-immunoliposomes Loaded With Doxorubicin in Patients With Advanced Triple Negative EGFR Positive Breast Cancer - A Multicenter Single Arm Phase II Trial

The main objective of the trial is to determine the efficacy of doxorubicin-loaded anti-EGFR immunoliposomes as first-line therapy in patients with advanced triple Negative, EGFR positive breast cancer. In this proof of concept trial, all patients will have an administration of the doxorubicin-loaded anti-EGFR immunoliposomes (anti-EGFR-IL-dox) every 28 days, until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Read the detailed description

Advanced triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly chemosensitive disease displaying a dismal short-term prognosis with more than three quarters of patients in progression 12 months after the initiation of conventional chemotherapy. Approximately 2/3 of TNBC are expressing EGFR and breast cancer, including TNBC, is a disease highly sensitive to anthracyclines. Furthermore, data from a phase I trial, in 26 patients with different solid tumors, show very little toxicity and signs of efficacy of anti-EGFR-IL-dox.

The EGFR assessment will be performed centrally and only patients with EGFR positive tumors will be included. The patients will be treated with the anti-EGFR-IL-dox until progression and followed-up according to standard practice for patient with TNBC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from registration until progression according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: at 12 months after registration

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as proportion of patients achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST v1.1 during trial treatment.

    Measured: at 12 months after registration

  2. Duration of response (DOR)

    DOR is defined as time from the date when a patient first meets the criteria for CR or PR according to RECIST v1.1, until documented progression, relapse or death due to disease progression, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: at 12 months after registration

  3. Time to Progression (TTP)

    Time to Progression (TTP), defined as the time from registration until progression TTP assessed according to RECIST v1.1 or death due to disease progression, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: at 12 months after registration

  4. PFS

    PFS is defined as the time from registration until progression according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: at 12 months after registration

  5. Overall survival (OS)

    OS is defined as time from registration until death from any cause.

    Measured: at 12 months after registration

  6. Adverse events (AEs)

    AE are assessed according to NCI CTCAE v4.0.

    Measured: at 12 months after registration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing anti-EGFR-IL-dox in people with Breast Cancer, run by Swiss Cancer Institute at 15 sites in Switzerland.

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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in Switzerland. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: the trial was prematurely terminated as per SAKK board decision from 14th of November 2020. The trial is to be terminated after primary endpoint is reached.). Results are not available in the source record.

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 (PFS) (time frame: at 12 months after registration). 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 NCT02833766, 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 Sep 2021.
