Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the toxicity and anti-tumor activity of nab-paclitaxel 100mg/m^2 administered weekly in a 4-week cycle as first line therapy to patients with metastatic breast cancer who received taxanes as part of their adjuvant therapy and patients who did not receive taxanes as part of their adjuvant therapy.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is an open-label, phase II study to determine the toxicity and antitumor activity of ABI-007 100 mg/m2 administered weekly for 3 weeks followed by a rest week (4-week cycle) as first line therapy to patients with metastatic breast cancer in the following 2 cohorts: Patients who have received a taxane as part of their adjuvant therapy, and patients who did not receive a taxane as part of their adjuvant therapy. Patients will be assessed for antitumor response every 8 weeks.

The last subject received study treatment 11DEC2012. The study was terminated on 31 May 2013 via a notification letter to all investigators on 14 May 2013.

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Objective Confirmed Complete or Partial Overall Response According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.0 Based on Investigator and Independent Reviewers [Every 8 weeks from study start until disease progression; Up to 61 months]

      Overall response rate (ORR) is complete response (CR) + partial response (PR). Complete response (CR): The disappearance of all known disease and no new sites or disease related symptoms confirmed at least 4 weeks after initial documentation. All sites must be assessed, including non-measurable sites, such as effusions, or markers. Disappearance of all non-target lesions. The normalization of tumor marker level confirmed at least 4 weeks after initial documentation. Partial response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum of the longest diameters confirmed at least 4 weeks after initial documentation. PR is also recorded when all measurable disease has completely disappeared, but a non-measurable component (i.e., ascites) is still present but not progressing. As well as persistence of one or more non-target lesion(s) and/or the maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Disease Control [Every 8 weeks from study start until disease progression; Up to 61 months]

      Disease control was defined as stable disease (SD) for ≥ 16 weeks or complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Response was evaluated by the Investigator and by an independent reviewer using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines version 1.0. See Outcome #1 for definitions of CR and PR. RECIST defines SD for target lesions as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, no occurrence of progression disease for non-target lesions, and no new lesions.

    2. Progression-free Survival (PFS) [Study start until disease progression, death, or up to data cut off of 31 May 2013; up to 61 months]

      PFS was defined as the time from the first dose of study drug to the start of progression or patient death (any cause), whichever occurred first. Participants who did not have progression or did not die were censored at the last known time the participant was progression free. Participants who initiated other anticancer therapy prior to progression were censored at the time when new anticancer therapy was initiated.

    3. Duration of Response Based on Independent Reviewer Assessment [Initial response until disease progression; or until data cut off 31 May 2013; up to 61 months]

      Duration of response was defined as progression-free survival in responders, i.e. as the time between the start of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) and the start of progressive disease (PD) or patient death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants who did not have progression or had not died were censored at the last known time the participant was progression free. Participants who had initiated other anticancer therapy prior to progression were censored at the time when new anticancer therapy was initiated. CR and PR were defined in outcome #1. Progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions; or the appearance of one or more new lesions; or the unequivocal progression of a non-target lesion. Response was evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    4. Duration of Response Based on Investigator Assessment [Initial response until disease progression; or until data cut off 31 May 2013; up to 61 months]

      Duration of response was defined as progression-free survival in responders, i.e. as the time between the start of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) and the start of progressive disease (PD) or patient death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants who did not have progression or had not died were censored at the last known time the participant was progression free. Participants who had initiated other anticancer therapy prior to progression were censored at the time when new anticancer therapy was initiated. Complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) were defined in outcome #1. Progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions; or the appearance of one or more new lesions; or the unequivocal progression of a non-target lesion. Response was evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

    5. Patient Survival [Study start until death, or until data cut-off 31 May 2013; up to 61 months]

      Participant survival was the time from the first dose of study drug to participant death from any cause. Participants who did not die were censored at the last known time the participant was alive.

    6. Number of Participants Experiencing Dose Reductions, Interruptions, or Dose Delays of Study Drug [Day 1 of study drug to Day 940; data cut off 31 May 2013]

      The number of participants with dose reductions, dose interruptions and dose delays that occurred during the treatment period. Dose reductions, interruptions and delays are typically caused by clinically significant laboratory abnormalities and /or treatment emergent adverse events/toxicities.

    7. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Day 1 to Day 940]

      Count of study participants who had at least one treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) defined as any adverse event that began or worsened in grade after the start of study drug through 30 days after the last dose of study drug. The National Cancer Institute (NCI)'s Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (CTCAE) was used to grade AE severity: severity grade 3= severe and undesirable AE. Severity grade 4= life-threatening or disabling AE. Severity grade 5 = death.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI)'s Common Terminology Criteria for AEs (CTCAE) was used to grade AE severity: severity grade 3= severe and undesirable AE. Severity grade 4= life-threatening or disabling AE. Severity grade 5 = death.
