Clinical Trial Note A randomized Phase III trial of weekly or 3-weekly doses of nab-paclitaxel versus weekly doses of Cremophor-based paclitaxel in patients with previously treated advanced gastric cancer (ABSOLUTE Trial)

چکیده
Paclitaxel is an agent widely used in second-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3-weekly or weekly doses of nanoparticle albuminbound-paclitaxel compared with weekly doses of Cremophor-based paclitaxel in patients with unresectable or recurrent gastric cancer refractory to first-line chemotherapy comprising fluoropyrimidines. A total of 730 patients will be enrolled from 72 institutions. The primary endpoint is the overall survival, and the secondary endpoints are progression-free survival, time to treatment failure, overall response rate, disease control rate, quality of life (by using the EQ-5D system) and safety.

متن کاملAlbumin-Bound Paclitaxel in the Treatment of Metastatic Breast Cancer
The taxanes, paclitaxel and docetaxel, are an important class of antineoplastic agents with relevant clinical activity in both early and advanced breast cancer. Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (Abraxane®) is a 130–nm particle cremophor-free formulation of paclitaxel. Exploiting endogenous albumin pathways and avoiding solvent-based toxicities, nab-paclitaxel allows higher intratumor conce...
متن کاملFirst line treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer – specific focus on albumin bound paclitaxel
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide in both men and women. Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for more than 80% of cases. Paclitaxel has a broad spectrum of activity against various malignancies, including NSCLC. Paclitaxel is poorly soluble in water and thus, until recently, its commercially available preparations co...
متن کاملPhase II trial of weekly nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin treatment with or without trastuzumab as nonanthracycline neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has become standard treatment for women with locally advanced breast cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) versus paclitaxel combined with carboplatin. METHODS Thirty patients were treated with neoadjuvant nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m(2), days 1, 8, and 15) and carboplatin ...
متن کاملA phase I trial of azacitidine and nanoparticle albumin bound paclitaxel in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors
BACKGROUND Secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC), an albumin-binding protein, is downregulated by hypermethylation in many cancers. Hypomethylating agents such as azacitidine can upregulate SPARC in tumors, which may enhance the accumulation of albumin-bound drugs at tumor site. The objectives of this phase I trial was to determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose and to ass...
