Trial Information

Phase II Trial of Weekly Nab (Nanoparticle Albumin Bound)-Paclitaxel (Nab-paclitaxel) (Abraxane®) in Combination With Gemcitabine in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the antitumor activity of ABI-007 and gemcitabine, in terms of response rate
in women with metastatic breast cancer.

- Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen, in terms of incidence and severity of
observed toxic effects, in these patients.

Secondary

* Determine the time to disease progression and survival of patients treated with this
regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive ABI-007 IV over 30 minutes and
gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence
of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for up to 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 43 patients will be accrued for this study within 20 months.

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Proportion of Patients With Confirmed Responses

Outcome Description:

Confirmed tumor response (complete and partial) as measured by RECIST(Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors) criteria on 2 consecutive evaluations at least 6 weeks apart. Confirmed tumor response is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions and no new lesions.

Outcome Time Frame:

Two consecutive evaluations at least 6 weeks apart

Safety Issue:

No
