Evaluating a new formulation of Docetaxel for treating triple negative breast cancer
Official title: A Global, Multicenter, Three Arms, Open-label Randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Nanosomal Docetaxel Lipid Suspension Compared to Taxotere® (Docetaxel Injection Concentrate) in Triple-negative Breast Cancer Patients With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer After Failure to Prior Chemotherapy
Run by Jina Pharmaceuticals Inc. · NCT03671044 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new version of a breast cancer drug called Docetaxel to see if it works better and is safer for people with triple-negative breast cancer compared to the standard treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with histologically confirmed triple-negative breast cancer who have locally advanced or metastatic disease after prior chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-triple-negative breast cancer or those who have not recovered from previous chemotherapy may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of Nanosomal Docetaxel Lipid Suspension (NDLS) in patients with triple-negative breast cancer. The study compares two doses of NDLS (75 mg/m2 and 100 mg/m2) against the conventional Taxotere® (100 mg/m2). It is a randomized, open-label trial involving 657 patients, with tumor responses assessed using RECIST 1.1 guidelines. The aim is to improve the safety profile of docetaxel by eliminating harmful excipients found in traditional formulations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a safer and more effective option for patients with triple-negative breast cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar lipid-based formulations, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
