Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Disease-free Survival
up to 5.25 years (63 months)

The percentage of participants with disease-free survival at 3 and 5 years. Disease-free survival (DFS) is measured from the time between randomization and the date of first documented disease recurrence, or death from any cause.

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
24 months

Evaluate the objective response rate calculated as CR+ PR in the population evaluable for response, as well as the 2 subgroups (hormone receptor positive \[ER+/PR+/HER2-, ER+/PR-/HER2-, ER-/PR+/HER2-\]) and ER-/PR-HER2-, separately). Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Pathologic Complete Response (pCR)
at surgery (performed 4-6 weeks after the last dose of 12 weeks of therapy)

The pCR was defined as no histologic evidence of residual invasive adenocarcinoma in the breast and axillary lymph nodes, with or without the presence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in the breast.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) in Biomarker-Defined Populations
pCR evaluated at time of surgery (4-6 weeks after the last dose of therapy); mandatory tumor tissue biopsy obtained prior to treatment.

Beta III tubulin positivity determined by cross-validation method. Optimal cutoff: ≥46% tumor cells staining at 2 plus or 3 plus intensity (corresponding Beta III tubulin positivity=39.4%). Pre-specified cutoff of Beta III tubulin positivity: ≥50% 2plus or 3plus cells (corresponding prevalence=38.5%). Optimal cutoffs for TACC3 and CAPG positivity determined by cross-validation method: 6.889 and 6.844 \[log2 normalized intensity units\], respectively (corresponding to prevalence rates of 43.3% and 44.3%).

Percentage of Participants Achieving Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) in 20- and 26-Gene Model Subgroups
pCR evaluated at time of surgery (4-6 weeks after the last dose of therapy); mandatory tumor tissue biopsy obtained prior to treatment.

For each of the 2 biomarker sets (20-gene or 26-gene), a multi-gene model was built using penalized logistic regression on all pharmacogenomic evaluable subjects for each treatment arm separately. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) plots for separate arm using 5 fold cross validation were generated. ROC for separate arms using cross over were also added. Further analysis on the multiple gene models (as mentioned in the SAP) was planned only based on the initial findings from the 2 ROC plots. For 20- and 26-gene models, ROC curves generated for each study arm did not indicate that these multi-gene models differentially predicted for pCR between the treatment arms, so further analyses to estimate the optimal cut-off and the pCR rates were not conducted.

Safety and toxicity profile as assessed by NCI CTCAE version 3.0
Approximately 18-30 months
Recommended Phase II dose of Ixabepilone when administered with Sunitinib
Schedule A (12 - 18 months); Schedule B (6 -12 months after Schedule A)
To determine safety and the maximum tolerated dose of brivanib alaninate when administered in combination with capecitabine, doxorubicin, ixabepilone, docetaxel and paclitaxel chemotherapy to subjects with advanced or metastatic solid tumors
Every 21 days until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for each combination of brivanib is reached
The primary outcome is to determine the safety and toxicity of ixabepilone and dasatinib in combination in patients with metastatic or locally advanced/unresectable solid tumors that have progressed through standard therapy.
From study start until completion of study followup. This can vary greatly between patients, but on average patients received treatment for 4 cycles (12 weeks).

While on the drug combination, patients will be seen in the clinic every 3 weeks. These visits will assess the safety and tolerablility of the drug regimen. The drug combination continues until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. When one of those two events occurs, the patient enters the followup phase. During the followup phase, the patient will return to the clinic every 4 weeks until drug-related toxicities resolve.
