- Conditions
- Breast Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT00004182
- Lead Sponsor
- Northwestern University
- Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irinotecan in treating patients who have metastatic or recurrent breast cancer.
- Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the objective response rate to irinotecan in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have received prior anthracycline and taxane based chemotherapy for metastatic disease. II. Determine the toxicities of irinotecan in these patients. III. Determine survival time, duration of response, and time to treatment failure in these patients after this therapy.
OUTLINE: Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes weekly for 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed at day 30, then every 3 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 14-29 patients will be accrued for this study.
