Trial Outcomes & Findings for Doxorubicin HCI Liposome Injection Versus Weekly Docetaxel in Patients First Relapse Metastatic Breast Cancer (NCT NCT00193037)

NCT ID: NCT00193037

Last Updated: 2013-07-31

Results Overview

ORR is defined as the percentage of patients who exhibit a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR). Complete Response is the total disappearance of clinically and radiologically detectable disease for at least 4 weeks. Partial Response is at least a 50% reduction of all measurable lesions as measured by the product of the perpendicular diameters of the greatest dimensions of tumor size, with no new lesions appearing for at least four weeks.

Measure
Arm A -Liposomal Doxorubicin Then Docetaxel
Liposomal doxorubicin (Arm A) Liposomal doxorubicin 40 mg/m2 IV day 1 over one hour, repeated q 28 days thru peripheral vein or central venous access. This will define one cycle. Patients demonstrating progression on Liposomal Doxorubicin were eligible for cross over to treatment on Docetaxel, provided patient still met the eligibility laboratory and performance status criteria.
Arm B - Docetaxel Then Liposomal Doxorubicin
Weekly docetaxel 36 mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8 and 15 followed by one week rest, administered on a q 28 day cycle. This dosing schedule will define one cycle. Patients demonstrating progression on Docetaxel were eligible for cross over to treatment on Liposomal Doxorubicin, provided patient still met the eligibility laboratory and performance status criteria.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 18 Months

Population: Patients who were removed from treatment before evaluation were not included in analysis

ORR is defined as the percentage of patients who exhibit a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR). Complete Response is the total disappearance of clinically and radiologically detectable disease for at least 4 weeks. Partial Response is at least a 50% reduction of all measurable lesions as measured by the product of the perpendicular diameters of the greatest dimensions of tumor size, with no new lesions appearing for at least four weeks.
