Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Locally Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01256762
Lead Sponsor
Geron Corporation
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with imetelstat + paclitaxel (with or without bevacizumab) versus paclitaxel (with or without bevacizumab) alone for patients with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who have not received chemotherapy or have received one non-taxane based chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to imetelstat + paclitaxel (with or without bevacizumab) versus paclitaxel (with or without bevacizumab) alone.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free survivalOccurring post randomization through end of study period (9 mos. after the last participant is randomized)

Defined as the time from randomization to documented disease progression, as determined by the investigator's assessment according to RECIST, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical benefit rateOccurring post randomization through end of study period (9 mos. after the last participant is randomized)

Clinical response rate includes patients with objective response and stable disease lasting at least 6 months.

Objective responseOccurring post randomization through end of study period (9 mos. after the last participant is randomized)

Objective response as determined by the investigator according to RECIST for patients with measurable disease at baseline.
