Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Time to Disease Progression - Tumor Response Based on RECIST 1.1 Criteria
until disease progression (assessed by RECIST 1.1), unacceptable toxicity, death, or discontinuation from study for any other reason, up to 3 years from date of patient registration

Measurement of tumors (sum of longest diameters) every 8 weeks for CT/MRI and photographs, and every 12 weeks for bone scan, if applicable. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions (plus an absolute increase of at least 5 mm), or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

Secondary Endpoints

Overall Survival
up to 4 years from date of patient registration

Frequently asked questions about Alisertib

What is Alisertib used for in breast cancer?

Alisertib is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of breast cancer, specifically in patients with metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer. It is currently in Phase 2 clinical development and has not been approved by the FDA.

What does Alisertib target?

Alisertib is a small molecule that targets Aurora kinase A, a protein involved in cell division. By inhibiting this target, it aims to disrupt cancer cell proliferation. This mechanism is being evaluated in the context of breast cancer treatment.

Who is developing Alisertib?

Alisertib is being developed by McKesson Corporation, a company publicly traded under the ticker symbol MCK. The drug is currently in Phase 2 clinical trials for breast cancer.

What phase is Alisertib in?

Alisertib is in Phase 2 clinical development for breast cancer. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities and is still undergoing clinical trials to assess its safety and efficacy.

What clinical trials is Alisertib in?

Alisertib has one completed Phase 2 clinical trial, identified as NCT02187991. This study compared Alisertib combined with paclitaxel versus paclitaxel alone in patients with metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer. The trial enrolled 169 female participants in the United States.

Is Alisertib the same as paclitaxel?

No, Alisertib is not the same as paclitaxel. Alisertib is an Aurora kinase A inhibitor, while paclitaxel is a chemotherapy drug that stabilizes microtubules. In the clinical trial NCT02187991, Alisertib was studied in combination with paclitaxel to compare its effects against paclitaxel alone.
