Trastuzumab Plus Docetaxel in Treating Women With Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer
NCT00006104 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with monoclonal antibody therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of trastuzumab plus docetaxel in treating women who have recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00006104
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00006104 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 2, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 46 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, which has 143 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Breast Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which docetaxel is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00006104 reports 15 study locations spanning 5 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Tennessee, Illinois, Alabama. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
