A clinical trial to study the pharmacokinetic comparison of two formulations for Intravenous Infusion of Paclitaxel in Indain Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer.

Phase 1

• Conditions: Metastatic Breast Cancer

• Registration Number: CTRI/2009/091/000441
• Lead Sponsor: Intas Pharmaceuticals Limited

Brief Summary

This study is to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of paclitaxel with two formulations for intravenous infusion of paclitaxel in 16 Indian patients of metastatic breast cancer. Secondary objective is to monitor the safety of the Indian patients who are exposed to the investigational products.The investigational hypothesis is that the new formulation for paclitaxel infusion manufactured by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. is bioequivalent to Taxol i.e. 90% confidence intervals for In-transformed pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax and AUC0-t falls within the acceptance range of 80.00-125.00 percentage for paclitaxel.Both interventions will be given at the interval of 21 days.After completion of study (two cycles) additional two cycles of paclitaxel injection will be administered to the patients for completing the compassionate use of a total four treatment cycles for each Indian patient.The first patient is expected to be enrolled in 2nd week of August.
