- Conditions
- Breast Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT00104624
- Lead Sponsor
- UNICANCER
- Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well docetaxel works in treating older women with metastatic breast cancer and whether it helps improve the ability to perform daily activities.
- Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* Determine degree of autonomy in instrumental activities of daily living on-therapy and at 6 and 12 months, as measured by Lawton's Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale, in older women with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the breast treated with docetaxel.
Secondary
* Determine the response rate in patients treated with this drug.
* Determine overall and progression-free survival of patients treated with this drug.
* Determine the degree of autonomy in daily activities as measured by Katz's Activities of Daily Living Scale, in patients treated with this drug.
* Determine mood status, as measured by the Geriatric Depression Scale, of patients treated with this drug.
* Determine toxicity of this drug in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive docetaxel IV on days 1 and 15. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses.
Ability to perform daily activities is assessed periodically.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 53 patients will be accrued for this study.
