April 26, 2019 updated by: Sun Tao, Liaoning Tumor Hospital & Institute

Combined Use of Apatinib Mesylate and Vinorelbine Versus Single Use of Vinorelbine in Recurrent or Metastatic Triple-negative Breast Cancer: a Double-blinded Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

To compare the therapeutic effect of vinorelbine used alone or combined with apatinib mesylate for recurrent or metastatic TNBC patients who have at least received one chemotherapy regimen, including anthracyclines and taxanes, providing clinical evidence for multi-line treatment options for advanced TNBC.

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

The emergence of new molecular targeted drugs provides new prospects for the treatment of advanced breast cancer; and its future therapeutic trend includes chemotherapy combined with molecular targeted therapy. Apatinib mesylate (Aitan), a novel small molecule anti-angiogenic agent, highly selectively inhibits the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 tyrosine kinase. Aitan also blocks the signaling of vascular endothelial growth factor binding to its receptor, thereby strongly inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and exerting anti-tumor effect.However, a randomized controlled clinical trial of apatinib combined with vinorelbine for TNBC has not been reported. The objective of this study is to compare the therapeutic effect of vinorelbine alone or combined with apatinib mesylate for recurrent or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients who have received at least two regimens containing anthracyclines and taxanes.

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.
Active Comparator: Vinorelbine + placebo group
92 enrolled patients will be assigned to receive oral vinorelbine plus placebo until disease progression or other criteria for administration termination.
Drug: Vinorelbine + placebo
Combined administration of vinorelbine and placebo. Based on oral administration of vinorelbine, the patients will be given oral placebo (starch as an ingredient). The placebo appearance, including shape, size, color and weight, taste, labeling and packing are the same with those of apatinib mesylate tablets.

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
Progress-Free Survival(PFS)
Time Frame: Day 1 of treatment until disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 24 months
PFS refers to the length of time from random enrollment to any recorded tumor progression or death from any cause.
Day 1 of treatment until disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 24 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
Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to 24 months
OS indicates the length of time from enrollment to death from any cause.When no information on death is collected in the clinical database, the last date when the patient is still known to have survived is used as the cut-off point.
Up to 24 months
Disease control rate (DCR)
Time Frame: Up to 24 months
DCR indicates the percentage of patients with CR, partial remission, and disease stabilization; and maintenance over 4 weeks, accounts for all the subjects with evaluable efficacy.
Up to 24 months
Overall remission rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Up to 24 months
ORR is the proportion of patients who achieve a complete or partial response ((CR+PR)/total number of cases x 100%), as assessed by the RECIST v1.1.
Up to 24 months
