Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, single-arm Phase II trial to assess the feasibility of dose-dense adjuvant chemotherapy in subjects with early stage (I-III), HER-2 normal breast cancer. A total of 80 adult subjects will be enrolled in order to have 73 subjects who start the eribulin portion of the adjuvant study regimen. After completion of 4 cycles of AC, each subject will begin 4 cycles of eribulin mesylate 1.4 mg/m2 intravenously over 2 to 5 minutes on Days 1 and 8 of every 21 day cycle.

Phase

Phase

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Perimenopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of nonchildbearing potential. Male subjects who are not abstinent or who have undergone a successful vasectomy, who are partners of women of childbearing potential must use, or their partners must use, a highly effective method of contraception (e.g., condom + spermicide, condom + diaphragm with spermicide, IUD) starting for at least one menstrual cycle prior to starting study drug and throughout the entire study period and for 30 days (longer if appropriate) after the last dose of study drug. Subjects with partners using hormonal contraceptives must also be using an additional approved method of contraception (as described previously).
  • Subjects willing and able to comply with the study protocol for the duration of the study and provide written informed consent prior to any study-specific screening procedures with the understanding that the subject may withdraw consent at any time without prejudice.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Stage IV breast cancer.
  • Prior chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or biotherapy for current breast cancer.
  • Nonmalignant systemic disease (cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, etc.) that would preclude any of the study therapy drugs.
  • Subjects with a concurrently active second malignancy other than adequately treated nonmelanoma skin cancers or in situ cervical cancer.
  • Subjects with known positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) status.
  • Pregnancy or breast feeding at the time of study enrollment. Eligible subjects of reproductive potential (both sexes) must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods during study therapy.
  • Subjects with known allergy or hypersensitivity to doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, or eribulin mesylate.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Feasibility
Time Frame: From date of first dose, up to 3 years after the last dose of study treatment, or up to approximately 4 years 2 months
The regimen was considered feasible if the participant was able to complete the eribulin portion without dose delay or reduction. Dose delay was defined as a delay due to eribulin-related adverse event (AE) for more than 2 days for subsequent doses (cycles after the initiation of full dose of eribulin, except holidays, scheduling difficulties and nonclinical logistical issues). If a participant had more than 1 dose omission, delay or reduction due to eribulin-related AE, these events were collectively counted as one entity in the same participant. Participants were followed for approximately 3 years after the last dose of the study treatment. Feasibility rates were calculated with or without growth factor support. In both cohorts, the percentage of participants who completed the eribulin portion of the regimen without a dose omission, delay or reduction due to eribulin-related AE was estimated via the observed completion rate and an exact 90% confidence interval (CI) was constructed.
From date of first dose, up to 3 years after the last dose of study treatment, or up to approximately 4 years 2 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Non-serious Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: From date of first dose up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment, or up to approximately 4 years 2 months
Safety assessments consisted of monitoring and recording all AEs and SAEs, clinical laboratory results, vital signs, physical examinations, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and left-ventricular ejection fracture (LVEF) by multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) or echocardiogram. An AE was considered a treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) if the AE onset date was on or after the first dose of study drug and up to 30 days after receiving the last dose of study drug. Treatment-related TEAEs included TEAEs that were considered by the Investigator to be possibly or probably related to eribulin mesylate and/or doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide, or missing causality.

From date of first dose up to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment, or up to approximately 4 years 2 months
