Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) From Randomization Into Maintenance
From the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or death of any cause; up to data cut off date of 15 September 2017; up to 27.6 months

Progression-free survival is defined as the time in months from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression based on the investigator's assessment according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 criteria (documented by computerized axial tomography \[CT scan\], not including symptomatic deterioration) or death (any cause) on or prior to 01 Aug 2019. RECIST 1.1 Definition: - Complete response (CR) -disappearance of all target lesions; - Partial response (PR) -at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline - Stable disease (SD) -neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response (PR) nor sufficient increase of lesions to qualify for progressive disease (PD) - Progressive Disease (PD) - At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions from nadir, and/or the appearance of new lesions.

Safety/tolerability endpoints:
incidence of treatment-emergent/related adverse events and serious adverse events
laboratory abnormalities
nadir of myelosuppression
incidence of patients experiencing dose modifications, dose interruptions, and/or premature discontinuation of study drug

Secondary Endpoints

Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Overall Survival (OS) From Randomization Into Maintenance
From the date of randomization to death from any cause; up to 01 August 2019; survival follow up was 55.89 months
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Confirmed Overall Response of Complete Response or Partial Response (Overall Response Rate) Over Entire Study
Day 1 of treatment in the induction period and subsequent anticancer therapy, death or discontinuation up to 01 August 2019; maximum treatment duration was 234.1 weeks for entire study
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Over Entire Study
Between Day 1 of the Induction Part through to the date of disease progression or death; up to 01 August 2019; the maximum treatment duration was 234.1 weeks for entire study

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Abraxane + Best Supportive Care (BSC)EXPERIMENTALDosing will occur in two phases - induction and maintenance. During induction, the subject will receive Abraxane plus carboplatin as standard of care. At the end of 4 cycles, if the subject has a complete response, partial response, or stable disease, he/she will continue on to the maintenance phase. Maintenance dosing on this arm includes Abraxane plus best supportive care.
Best Supportive Care (BSC)OTHERDosing will occur in two phases - induction and maintenance. During induction, the subject will receive Abraxane plus carboplatin as standard of care. At the end of 4 cycles, if the subject has a complete response, partial response, or stable disease, he/she will continue on to the maintenance phase. Maintenance dosing on this arm includes best supportive care only.

Frequently asked questions about Abraxane

What is Abraxane used for?

Abraxane is an investigational oncology drug being studied for the treatment of breast cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the non-small-cell lung. It is a small molecule therapeutic developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (BMY). Clinical trials have evaluated its use as adjuvant therapy for breast cancer and as maintenance treatment after first-line therapy for stage IIIB/IV squamous cell non-small-cell lung cancer.

Who makes Abraxane?

Abraxane is developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, which trades under the ticker BMY. The company is conducting clinical research on this oncology drug for indications including breast cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the non-small-cell lung. Bristol-Myers Squibb is responsible for the drug's development program.

What phase is Abraxane in?

Abraxane is in clinical development, with trials listed in Phase 1 and Phase 3. One completed Phase 1 trial studied the drug as adjuvant therapy for breast cancer, and one completed Phase 3 trial evaluated it as maintenance treatment for squamous cell non-small-cell lung cancer. The drug remains investigational and is not approved.

What clinical trials is Abraxane in?

Abraxane has been studied in two completed clinical trials. NCT00107094 was a Phase 1 study of Adriamycin plus cyclophosphamide followed by Abraxane as adjuvant therapy for breast cancer, enrolling 30 female patients in the United States. NCT02027428 was a Phase 3 study of Abraxane as maintenance treatment after Abraxane plus carboplatin in first-line stage IIIB/IV squamous cell non-small-cell lung cancer, enrolling 427 patients across multiple countries.

How does Abraxane work?

Abraxane is a small molecule therapeutic, but its specific molecular target has not been disclosed in the available information. The drug is being investigated for its potential role in treating breast cancer and squamous cell carcinoma of the non-small-cell lung, based on its mechanism of action as an oncology agent.
