Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to find out what effect the combination of fulvestrant (Faslodex) and dasatinib (Sprycel) has on advanced breast cancer compared to fulvestrant alone.

Interventions

DRUGDasatinib

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Disease Progression (PD) or DeathDate of randomization to date of initial disease progression, or date of death (whichever occurs first), up to January 2014 (approximately 5 years)This endpoint evaluated the progression free survival (PFS) of participants amongst the total evaluable population. Progression free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization to either the date the subject was first recorded as having PD (even if the subject went off treatment because of toxicity), or the date of death if the subject died due to any causes before progression. Participants with no recorded post-baseline tumor assessment had PFS censored at the day of randomization. Participants lost to follow-up were censored at the last date of contact. Participants that had not progressed or died had PFS censored at the date of last follow-up.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS) at 6 Monthsat 6 monthsPFS rate was defined as the percentage of participants experiencing no disease progression or death from any cause at 6 months after randomization. Progression free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from randomization to either the date the subject was first recorded as having PD (even if the subject went off treatment because of toxicity), or the date of death if the subject died due to any causes before progression. Progression=At least a 20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Kaplan Meier assessments were used to estimate the percentages.
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Benefit for At Least 6 MonthsDate of randomization to date of initial disease progression, or date of death (whichever occurs first), up to January 2014 (approximately 5 years)Clinical benefit rate (CBR) was defined as the percentage of participants that had Stable Disease (SD), complete response (CR), or partial response (PR) for greater than or equal to 6 months if there was no evidence of progression at or before assessment performed on or after Study Day 161. CR= Disappearance of all target lesions. No new lesions. PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD. SD= Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD) taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started. Physical examination, radiological assessment, and bone scans (if applicable) were used to assess outcome.

Recruitment details

Study started September 2008 and completed January 2014; 9 participants chose to remain on active treatment after the study completed.

Pre-assignment details

100 participants were enrolled and 100 participants were randomized (50 to each arm). 99 were treated (50 with fulvestrant + dasatinib and 49 with single-agent fulvestrant). Reason for non-treatment is that there was 1 withdrawal by participant.
