Study Description

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Gathering information from patients of different ages receiving paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation for metastatic breast cancer may help doctors understand how the age of the patient changes the way the drug works.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation works in treating patients of different ages with metastatic breast cancer.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation
  • Other: pharmacological study
  • Other: physiologic testing
  • Other: questionnaire administration
  • Other: study of socioeconomic and demographic variables
  • Procedure: cognitive assessment
  • Procedure: psychosocial assessment and care
Phase 2

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To determine age-related changes in the pharmacokinetics (pK) of weekly paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation (nab-paclitaxel) in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

  • To determine age-related changes in the pharmacodynamics (toxicity) of nab-paclitaxel in these patients.

Secondary

  • To determine response and time to progression in these patients.

  • To explore predictors of pK parameters in these patients.

  • To explore predictors of the need for dose reduction, dose delays, or grade 3 or 4 toxicity in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified by age in years (< 50 vs 50-60 vs 60-70 vs > 70).

Patients receive paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation IV over 30 minutes once daily on days 1, 8, and 15 as planned. Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Blood is drawn for pharmacokinetic studies periodically during course 1.

Patients complete questionnaires regarding risk factors that would predict for pharmacokinetic parameters at baseline, prior to the third course of treatment, and at end of study. Data collected include medical characteristics, demographics, functional status, comorbidity, psychological status, social functioning and support, nutritional status, and cognition.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Mean Area Under the Curve Over 24 Hours (AUC24) [Cycle 1, week 1 at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post treatment]

    Mean of area under the curve over 24 hours (AUC24) reported as well as linear regression of AUC24 by age and chemotherapy toxicity risk score. Chemotherapy toxicity risk score is based on the following variables and the value assigned to them. Higher scores indicate more risk, range of 2-19: patient age (>=72 years); creatinine clearance (<34 mL/min); presence of amenia (<10 g/dL); hearing impairment; falls in the last 6 months; need for assistance with taking medications; limitations in walking one block; decreased social activities; chemotherapy dosing; number of chemotherapy drugs; cancer type

  2. Mean Clearance (CL) [Cycle 1, week 1 at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post treatment]

    Mean CL reported as well as regression results of CL by age and chemotherapy toxicity risk score. Chemotherapy toxicity risk score is based on the following variables and the value assigned to them. Higher scores indicate more risk, range of 2-19: patient age (>=72 years); creatinine clearance (<34 mL/min); presence of amenia (<10 g/dL); hearing impairment; falls in the last 6 months; need for assistance with taking medications; limitations in walking one block; decreased social activities; chemotherapy dosing; number of chemotherapy drugs; cancer type

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Grade 3 Toxicity Rate by Chemotherapy Toxicity Risk Score [Up to 2.5 years]

    Comparison of presence of grade 3 toxicity rate by risk score distribution. Chemotherapy toxicity risk score is based on the following variables. Higher scores indicate more risk, range of 2-19: patient age (>=72 years); creatinine clearance (<34 mL/min); presence of amenia (<10 g/dL); hearing impairment; falls in the last 6 months; need for assistance with taking medications; limitations in walking one block; decreased social activities; chemotherapy dosing; number of chemotherapy drugs; cancer type Chemotherapy toxicity risk score category: Low risk score - toxicity risk score: 0-5 Medium risk score - toxicity risk score: 6-9 High risk score - toxicity risk score: 10-19

  2. Best Response [Assessed after every 2 cycles of therapy until progression, up to 2.5 years]

    Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.

  3. Median Event-free Survival (EFS) in Months [From the date treatment begins until the first date on which recurrence, progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 3.5 years]

    Median and associated 95% exact Clopper and Pearson binomial confidence limits will be estimated for EFS. EFS will be estimated using the product limit method of Kaplan and Meier. EFS is defined by time to disease recurrence, disease progression or death to due to any cause

  4. Number of Participants Requiring Dose Reductions [At the completion of treatment, up to 2.5 years]

    Number of participants requiring a dose reduction is reported and analysis was performed using a student's 2 sample t test to determine the need of dose reductions based on age, AUC, and CL.

  5. Number of Participants With a Dose Omission [At the completion of treatment, up to 2.5 years]

    Number of participants with a dose omission is reported and analysis was performed using a student's 2 sample t test to determine the need of dose omission based on age, AUC, and CL.

  6. Percent of Participants With a Grade 3 Toxicity [At the completion of treatment, up to 2.5 years]

    Percent of participants experiencing a grade 3 toxicity is reported and analysis was performed using a student's 2 sample t test to determine the presence of grade 3 toxicity based on age, AUC, and CL.
