About
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BP-C1 is effective in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer patients who had previously received at least three lines of chemotherapy.
Full description
BP-C1, solution for injection 0.05%, is currently being developed for treatment of patients with metastatic breast cancer with palliative intent. Active substance of the product, which is a novel platinum-containing anticancer agent developed for intramuscular administration, is a cis-diammineplatinum(II) complexed with a polymer containing benzene polycarboxylic acids derived from lignin. The amphiphilic characteristics of the polymer have resulted in a product with clear and significantly altered and improved properties compared to other platinum analogues, e.g. cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin.
BP-C1 preserves antitumour activity of its predecessors (e.g. cisplatin and carboplatin), additionally offering the following advantages that ensure favourable outcome of treatment of metastatic breast cancer patients:
This study is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, phase IIb study. The eligible patients will be allocated (1:1) to either BP-C1 arm or Placebo arm and treated once daily for 32 days. The patients allocated to Placebo arm will cross over to BP-C1 treatment for 32 days when progression of the cancer will be documented and latest after 32-day treatment with Placebo. After 32-day treatment with BP-C1 the patients are invited to participate in the study BMC2011-02 to continue open-label BP-C1 treatment.
