Oral Paclitaxel Efficacy Safety and PK in Recurrent and Metastatic Breast Cancer

A Phase 2 interventional study of DHP107 and IV Paclitaxel in Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer, sponsored by Daehwa Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.. Completed at 15 sites in 2 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-02-16.

Registry
Recurrence — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.

Breast Neoplasms
Why
  1. Recurrence describes something many studies share rather than a condition a study is about.
  2. The study's listed conditions name Breast Neoplasms.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Eligibility criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects with confirmed diagnosis of recurrent or breast cancer based on histopathology examination
  2. Subjects with diagnosis of -negative breast cancer that was confirmed by IHC or in situ hybridization (ISH) assessment of tumor samples
  3. Subjects who have received up to 3 for advanced disease, without prior exposure to taxane in the advanced stage setting
  4. Subjects who have a performance status of ≤2 on the (ECOG) scale.
  5. Subjects who have according to the Version 1.1 (RECIST version 1.1).

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects who have received prior taxane therapy in the metastatic setting
  2. Subjects whose or neoadjuvant treatment for early stage breast cancer was completed within 6 months prior to entry into the study.
  3. Subjects with neuropathy grade ≥2 based on v4.03 at the time of study entry
  4. Subjects with symptomatic, untreated metastases to the central nervous system (CNS) at the time of screening.
  5. Subjects who have received any drugs or devices within 4 weeks before the first day of study treatment (C1D1).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

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.

Metastases

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

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.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

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.

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.

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.

CTCAE grade

The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.

1
Mild.
2
Moderate.
3
Severe.
4
Life-threatening.
5
Death due to the event.

“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate(ORR)

    ORR is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (v.1.1) criteria

    Time frame: Every 8 weeks upto 18 months from randomization date

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression free survival(PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or death.

    Time frame: Up to 18 months from randomization date

  2. Overall survival(OS)

    OS is defined as the time from the date of inclusion to the date of death.

    Time frame: Up to 36 months from FPI

  3. Time to treatment failure(TTF)

    TTF is defined as the time from the randomization date to the date of discontinuation of treatment, regardless of the cause.

    Time frame: Up to 18 months from randomization date

  4. Duration of response(DOR)

    DOR is the time between the initial response to therapy and subsequent disease progression or relapse.

    Time frame: Up to 18 months from randomization date

  5. Disease control rate(DCR)

    DCR is defined as the percentage of subjects who were evaluated for complete response(CR), partial response(PR), and stable disease(SD) as the best response among from randomization.

    Time frame: Up to 18 months from randomization date

  6. Quality of life(QoL)

    Evaluate changes compared to baseline using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)

    Time frame: after randomization(C1D1), D1 of every 3rd cycle(each cycle consists of 28 days) up to 18 months

  7. PK

    Pharmacokinetics is defined as the study of the time course of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

    Time frame: The 12 eligible subjects will receive DHP107 and be taken blood samples for PK analysis on Day 1, 8 of Cycle 1
