Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Maximum Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) score for Adverse Events
Maximum CTC score will be recorded using CTC v2.0 given as the highest observed CTC score at a given visit. The CTC scores will be recorded using CTC v2.0 divided in 15 System Organ Classes
Sum Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) score for Adverse Events
The Sum CTC score will be a sum of all registered CTC scores obtained at a given visit. The CTC scores will be recorded using CTC v2.0 divided in 15 System Organ Classes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of registered Adverse Events (AEs)
Treatment Response
In accordance with RECIST v1.1 the treatment response will be classified as 'complete response', 'partial response', 'stable disease' or 'progressive disease': Complete response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR): at least 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. Progressive disease (PD): at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions.
Proportion of patients with Disease Control Rate (DCR)
The DCR defined as patients classified as SD, PR, CR

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to estimate the cumulative Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Minimum Efficient Dose (MED) of BP-C1 in the short-term treatment of metastatic breast cancer patients.
Detailed 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: injectable solution (intramuscular) does not cause injection site reactions; can be administered at home by a nurse or a patient; has an improved pharmacokinetic profile; demonstrates efficacy comparable to cisplatin and much higher than carboplatin (in-vitro; in-vivo data); exerts an additional immunomodulatory activity. In this study BP-C1 will be administered as supportive care to patients with metastatic breast cancer (stage IV), who had undergone at least three lines of chemotherapy. This study will be open-label, multi-centre with a sequential safety design based on 3-level between-patient Response Surface Pathway (RSP) algorithm. The eligible patients will be allocated to five independent sequences, with three patients in each sequence. The BP-C1 treatment period will be 32 days, the follow-up period will be 28 days after the last BP-C1 dose.

Model Description
The study will be open-label, multi-center with a sequential safety design based on 3-level between-patient Response Surface Pathway (RSP) algorithm. Three patients will be recruited consecutively to each sequence of three dose levels (dose level 1 - cumulative dose 0.64 mg/kg body weight, dose level 2 - cumulative dose 0.96 mg/kg body weight, dose level 3 - cumulative dose 1.12 mg/kg body weight).

Intervention Description
BP-C1, 0.05% solution for injection, will be administered intramuscularly once per day. The cumulative dose range will be 0.64-1.12 mg/kg body weight depending on design level (design level 1-3). The daily dose range will be 0.02-0.035 mg/kg body weight (0.04-0.07 mL/kg) depending on design level (design level 1-3). Dose level 1: 0.02 mg/kg body weight (0.04 mL/kg) intramuscularly once daily for 32 consecutive days; dose level 2: 0.03 mg/kg body weight (0.06 mL/kg) intramuscularly once daily for 32 consecutive days; dose level 3: 0.035 mg/kg body weight (0.07 mL/kg) intramuscularly once daily for 32 consecutive days. Changes in the cumulative dose of BP-C1 between patients in the sequence are predefined and will be adjusted by escalation/deescalation rules based on changes in toxicity observed in the previous design level. The duration of BP-C1 treatment will be 32 days.
