'Hebron Institute of Oncology in Barcelona and the principal investigator of this study. "One goal of this study was to evaluate the success of an all-oral regimen, which may represent a unique treatment option for patients with breast cancer."

Breast Cancer Trial Design

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study evaluated Nexavar in combination with the oral chemotherapeutic agent, capecitabine, in 229 patients. These patients had locally advanced or metastatic HER-2 negative breast cancer and had received no more than one prior chemotherapy in this setting. The primary endpoint of the study was progression-free survival. There were several secondary endpoints, including overall survival, time to progression, and safety. Patients were randomized to receive 400 mg of oral Nexavar or matching placebo twice daily, in addition to 1000 mg/m(2) of capecitabine twice daily for 14 days followed by a seven day rest from capecitabine.

Among these trials are three ongoing randomized Phase 2 studies, including a trial to evaluate Nexavar plus paclitaxel in the first-line setting, a trial to evaluate Nexavar plus gemcitabine or capecitabine in the first- or second-line setting following progression on bevacizumab, and a trial to evaluate Nexavar plus docetaxel and/or letrozole in the first-line setting.
