Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • confirmed invasive cancer of the breast.
  • Presence of at least one per 1.1 criteria
  • Stage IV disease by AJCC criteria (7th edition).
  • negative (IHC 0,1 or FISH HER2:CEP17 ratio \< 2.0)
  • Must have had treatment with at least 2 but no more than 3 previous regimens in the setting. Previous treatment must have included an anthracycline and taxane in either the or metastatic setting.
  • At least 21 days from the completion of any previous cytotoxic chemotherapy or biological therapy at time of initiation of POL6326.
  • performance status \< 2

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previously received eribulin.
  • Peripheral neuropathy > Grade 2.
  • Receipt of any other agent within the 28 days prior to Day 1.
  • Receipt of colony stimulating factor filgrastim, pegfilgrastim, or sargramostim within 14 days prior to Day 1.
  • Radiation therapy within the 14 days prior to Day 1.
  • Severe concurrent illness or psychiatric illness/social situation that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • History of other ≤ 5 years previous with the exception of basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin which were treated with local resection only or carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Known positivity on combination antiretroviral therapy; these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

HER2

HER2 is a protein, made from the ERBB2 gene, that drives the growth of some cancers. A study may look for a level of the protein, extra copies of the gene, or a particular change in it.

In breast cancer, protein tests are read as HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-negative; other cancers use their own rules. Check which test result the study requires.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and tolerability of POL6326 in combination with eribulin in patients with metastatic breast cancer

    Incidence and severity of adverse events and serious adverse events of the combination of POL6326 and eribulin when compared to the adverse event profile of eribulin alone

    Time frame: 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Response rate of treatment with POL6326 and eribulin in patients with metastatic breast cancer

    Determination of the complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) in patients treated with the combination of POL6326 and eribulin

    Time frame: 12-24 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 14, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
