Clinical Trial 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.


Description:

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

- Prior use of bevacizumab is allowed provided that it was not administered in combination with a taxane

- ECOG performance status 0-1

- Adequate bone marrow reserve as indicated by:

- ANC > 1500/uL (without use of growth factors within 7 days)

- Platelet count > 100,000 (without transfusion in prior 7 days)

- Hemoglobin > 9.0 g/dL

Exclusion Criteria:

- Women who are pregnant or breast feeding

- Locally recurrent disease amenable to resection with curative intent

- HER-2-positive breast cancer

- Active central nervous system (CNS) metastatic disease including those patients receiving radiotherapy and/or steroid treatment (within the last 3 months)

- Prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant taxane chemotherapy within 12 months prior of first relapse

- Investigational therapy within 4 weeks of first study drug administration

- Prior radiation, cytotoxic, or hormonal therapy within 2 weeks of first study drug administration

- Therapeutic anti-coagulation or regular use of anti-platelet therapy within 2 weeks prior to first study drug administration (low dose anti-coagulant therapy to maintain patency of a vascular access device is allowed)

- Grade = 2 neuropathy

- Uncontrolled clinically significant atrial or ventricular arrhythmias (unless pacemaker in place)

- Severe conduction disturbance including clinically significant QTC prolongation > 450 ms (unless pacemaker in place)

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Progression-free survival 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. Occurring post randomization through end of study period (9 mos. after the last participant is randomized) No
Secondary Objective response Objective response as determined by the investigator according to RECIST for patients with measurable disease at baseline. Occurring post randomization through end of study period (9 mos. after the last participant is randomized) No
Secondary Clinical benefit rate Clinical response rate includes patients with objective response and stable disease lasting at least 6 months. Occurring post randomization through end of study period (9 mos. after the last participant is randomized) No
