505(b)(2) Clinical Trials for Taxotere

| New Combination | NCT00251329 ↗ | Docetaxel, Carboplatin, and Capecitabine as Treatment for Patients With Locally Advanced or Inflammatory Breast Cancer Before Surgery | Unknown status | Sanofi | Phase 2 | 2003-05-01 | The purpose of this study is to determine if this combination is safe and effective in this situation especially to increase the rate of pathological complete response (PCR). Women with large tumors and or lymph node involvement at the time of initial diagnosis may benefit from receiving chemotherapy prior to surgery to shrink the tumor and to decrease the amount of tumor involvement before surgery. If chemotherapy given before breast surgery is effective in decreasing the size of the tumor, breast conserving surgery (lumpectomy) may be possible. This new combination may be better tolerated than other commonly used regimens and, to date, appears to be at least as effective. |

| New Combination | NCT02616848 ↗ | Safety and Tolerability of Everolimus in Combination With Eribulin in Triple-negative Breast Cancers | Unknown status | Istituti Ospitalieri di Cremona | Phase 1 | 2015-11-01 | Treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) relies heavily on different regimes of chemotherapeutic agents but remains one of the most challenging subtypes to treat because of the lack of specific therapies. Despite being sensitive to chemotherapy, many women with TNBC relapse quickly, developing locoregional recurrence or visceral metastasis. Toxicity and chemotherapy resistance are still major limitations in the treatment of patients with TNBC. Despite current trend of targeted therapy development, cytotoxic agents are a mainstay of treatment of patients with breast cancer. Further research into new combination of different compounds is needed in order to maximise benefit, whilst minimising toxicity. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway is associated with resistance to a variety of anti-tumor agents. This has been described pre-clinically with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents with varying mechanisms of action including taxanes, and DNA-damaging agents. In the clinic, activated PI3K in tumors has been correlated with decreased response to therapy and worse clinical outcomes. The recent biological findings suggest that a PI3K/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors may increase the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents which are considered standard of care (SOC) for the treatment of several solid tumors. The study by the Unitaed state Oncology Research of Huston and the Sarah Cannon Cancer Center randomized 1830 patients with high risk breast cancer to the standard adjuvant treatment with adriamicin cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel versus the experimental adjuvant treatment with adriamicin taxotere (AT) followed by paclitaxel. At 5-years of follow up, the AT followed by paclitaxel produced significantly better overall survival (p=0.054) and improved disease free survival (DFS) (p=0.19). Among TNBC patients both DFS (74% versus 79%, p=0.1) and overall survival (OS) (79% versus 84%, p=0.037) were better in experimental arm. However, the main reasons for patients being taken off study treatment were toxicity (85 patients in the control arm and 128 in the experimental arm) and consent withdrawal (18 patients in the control arm and 30 patients in the experimental arm). For this reason, research into alternatives has intensified, thus resulting in the discovery and development of new compounds with a more tolerable profile as compared with paclitaxel. Among the total of 762 patients enrolled into Eisai Metastatic Breast Cancer Study Assessing Physician's Choice Versus E7389 (EMBRACE) trial, 19% had TNBC. Of note, eribulin was most effective in hormone receptor-negative patients and in TNBC patients, who had a 29% risk reduction. Treatment with eribulin was well tolerated. Neutropenia, leucopenia, peripheral neuropathy, and asthenia/fatigue were the most common adverse events reported at Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grades 3 and 4. Neutropenia was the most common adverse events reported at CTCAE grade 4 in the eribulin group (24.1%). Based on findings to date, eribulin is an attractive agent, and its role in combination with new compounds such as everolimus deserves further investigations. Their combination might lead to more profound effects on tumor cell biology of triple negative metastatic breast cancer. During the course of the trial, dose reductions for each combination will be permitted in patients who cannot tolerate the starting dose |

All Clinical Trials for Taxotere
| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00002662 ↗ | Paclitaxel or Docetaxel in Treating Women With Advanced Breast Cancer | Completed | Aventis Pharmaceuticals | Phase 3 | 1994-08-01 | RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective than docetaxel for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel or docetaxel in treating women with stage IIIB or metastatic breast cancer. |
| NCT00002707 ↗ | Chemotherapy in Treating Women With Breast Cancer That Can Be Surgically Removed | Completed | National Cancer Institute (NCI) | Phase 3 | 1995-12-01 | RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if chemotherapy given before surgery is more effective with or without docetaxel given before or after surgery for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy using doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide with or without docetaxel in treating women who have stage II or stage III breast cancer. |
| NCT00002707 ↗ | Chemotherapy in Treating Women With Breast Cancer That Can Be Surgically Removed | Completed | NSABP Foundation Inc | Phase 3 | 1995-12-01 | RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if chemotherapy given before surgery is more effective with or without docetaxel given before or after surgery for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy using doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide with or without docetaxel in treating women who have stage II or stage III breast cancer. |
| NCT00002775 ↗ | Docetaxel Plus Estramustine in Treating Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer | Unknown status | Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center | Phase 1/Phase 2 | 1998-02-01 | RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining docetaxel and estramustine in treating patients who have metastatic prostate cancer. |
