Study summary

To evaluate the dose-limiting toxicity of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome combined with capecitabine in patients with HER-2 negative advanced breast cancer who have received at least first-line treatment, explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome, and determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D).

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, open-label, phase I dose-increasing study following the "3+3" principle, which planned to enroll a maximum of 48 clinically confirmed patients with advanced HER-2 negative breast cancer who have received at least first-line treatment, to explore the MTD of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Nov 2023; primary completion for Apr 2024, 5 months later.

Of 2,272 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Breast Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 34 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 69. This study's planned 5 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 2,345 studies reached it within 34 months; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 69.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Dec 5, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
