About this trial

The Nanosomal Docetaxel Lipid Suspension (NDLS) consists of uniformly sized micro particles of docetaxel suspended in a lipid based formulation. The advantage of such a Lipid Based formulation of Docetaxel is an improvement of the safety profile by eliminating excipients, polysorbate 80 and ethanol which are present in conventional Docetaxel formulations (Taxotere®). This randomized, open-label study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of Nanosomal Docetaxel Lipid Suspension at the dose of 75 mg/m2 and at the dose of 100 mg/m2 compared to Taxotere® at the dose of 100 mg/m2 in triple-negative breast cancer patients with Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer. Patients will continue the treatment in the absence of disease progression and unacceptable toxicity. Disease status and tumor response will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) guidelines. 657 patients (219 patients per arm) will be randomized in the study. The trial will be conducted as per the ICH GCP Guidelines E6 (R1), Schedule Y (Amended Version 2013), Declaration of Helsinki (Fortaleza, Brazil, October 2013), ICMR Guidelines for Biomedical Research on Human subjects and in accordance with other applicable guidelines.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Proportion of the patients with Objective Response Rate (i.e., CR + PR) as the Best Overall Response Rate (i.e., CR + PR) in the test arm (NDLS) compared to reference arm (Taxotere)

Non-inferiority of NDLS (75 mg/m2, 100 mg/m2) compared to Taxotere (100 mg/m2)

Time frame
Approximately 2 years after study initiation

Secondary outcomes

1

Progression free survival (PFS)

PFS will be evaluated from the date of first dosing to the date of tumor progression (as per the RECIST 1.1 Criteria) or death (due to any cause) whichever occurred first

Time frame
Approximately 2 years after study initiation
2

To evaluate the overall survival (OS) of the patients

OS will be evaluated from the date of first dosing to the date of tumor progression (as per the RECIST 1.1 Criteria) or death (due to any cause) whichever occurred first

Time frame
Approximately 2 years after study initiation
3

Incidence of adverse events as assessed by clinical examination, and/or laboratory parameters

adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

Time frame
Approximately 2 years after study initiation
