Study of Nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®) Treatment in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer in Routine Clinical Practice

Terminated
Conditions
Breast Neoplasms
Registration Number
NCT02655159
Lead Sponsor
Celgene Corporation
Brief Summary

This is a national, multicenter, retrospective, observational post-authorization study (EPA-OD) study. The study will be conducted by reviewing the medical records of patients up to the start of the study. In each case, only data from before the start of the study will be obtained in order to ensure they are retrospective in nature, thus reflecting the regular use of nab-paclitaxel in clinical practice and avoiding interference with the physician's clinical practice.

To ensure the observational nature of this study, these data will be collected whenever they are available in the patient's medical record, and so no diagnostic or therapeutic intervention outside regular clinical practice will be used.

Detailed Description

This is a national, multicenter, retrospective, observational post-authorization study (EPA-OD) study. Investigators will include all consecutive adult patients diagnosed with HER2-negative MBC who have started treatment with nab-paclitaxel monotherapy no further than the third line of chemotherapy for metastatic disease during the past 3 years (2012-2014). These patients must meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria established in this protocol.

The primary objective is to describe the effectiveness of nab-paclitaxel in terms of response in early lines of chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer in routine clinical practice.

This study plans to collect data retrospectively, provided they are available in the patient's medical record and according to routine clinical practice.

Target Recruitment
46
Inclusion Criteria
  • Women ≥18 years of age.
  • Confirmed diagnosis of MBC (stage IV).
  • Breast adenocarcinoma confirmed histologically.
  • HER2-negative according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and Anatomical Pathology (CAP) criteria for the detection of HER2 in breast cancer.
  • Patients who have started treatment with nab-paclitaxel monotherapy no further than the third line of chemotherapy for metastatic disease in HER2-negative breast cancer during the period 2012-2014 (3 years) and who have received at least one cycle of treatment.
  • Ability to give informed consent, preferably in writing or orally in front of a witness, before the start of data collection (if it is able to be given).
Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients with any medical or psychological disorder which in the investigator's opinion might compromise the ability of the patient to give their informed consent.
  • Patients who have received treatment with nab-paclitaxel combined with other chemotherapy agents or anti-angiogenic drugs or tumor-targeting drugs with anti-tumor activity.
  • Patients who have taken part in any clinical trial (interventional) during the study period.

Study & Design

Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Study Design
Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall response rate (ORR)Up to approximately 8 months

The number of patients who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST v1.1 criteria during treatment with nab-paclitaxel until disease progression, the end of treatment or the start of the study, whichever comes first.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survival (OS)Up to approximately 8 months

Is defined as the time from the start of treatment with nab-paclitaxel to death from any cause. OS will be estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients who have not died at the time of data collection will be censored on the date on which they are last known to be alive. The date of censoring may be the day of the last follow-up assessment or the day of the last tumor assessment in case the foregoing is not available.

Disease control rate (DCR)Up to approximately 8 months

The percentage of patients with complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) for at least 16 weeks, and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) will be calculated.

Time to disease progression (TTP)Up to approximately 8 months

Is defined as the time from the start of treatment with nab-paclitaxel to disease progression or death due to progression. TTP will be estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. The median and confidence interval for the median at 95% reliability (95% CI) will be calculated. In patients who show no disease progression or who have not died, the date of censoring may be the day on which the patient's death is documented, the day of the last follow-up assessment or the day of the last tumor assessment in case the foregoing is not available.

Progression-free survival (PFS)Up to approximately 8 months

Is defined as the time from the start of treatment with nab-paclitaxel to disease progression or death from any cause. PFS will be estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients who have shown no disease progression or who have not died at the time of data collection will be censored on the date on which it was last known that no disease progression occurred. The date of censoring may be the day of the last follow-up assessment or the day of the last tumor assessment in case the foregoing is not available.

Adverse Events (AEs)Up to approximately 8 months

Number of participants with adverse events

Overall Response Rate (ORR)Up to approximately 8 months

The number of patients who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) during the first 3 treatment cycles with nab-paclitaxel and the corresponding 95% CI will be calculated.
