Azacitidine and Entinostat in Treating Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer
NCT01349959 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This phase II trial studies how well giving azacitidine and entinostat work in treating patients with advanced breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Entinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving azacitidine together with entinostat may kill more tumor cells.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01349959
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01349959 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 58 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Cancer Institute (NCI), which has 2,390 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 5 conditions, with Recurrent Breast Carcinoma appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Azacitidine 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: NCT01349959 reports 7 study locations spanning 4 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include California, Minnesota, Maryland. 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.
