- Conditions
- Recurrent Breast CancerStage IV Breast Cancer
- Interventions
- Other: laboratory biomarker analysis
- Registration Number
- NCT00025584
- Lead Sponsor
- National Cancer Institute (NCI)
- Brief Summary
PS-341 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of PS-341 in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer
- Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the efficacy of PS-341, in terms of response rate, in women with metastatic breast cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the clinical activity of this drug, in terms of progression-free survival, in these women.
II. Determine the toxicity profile and tolerability of this drug in these women.
III. Determine the pharmacodynamics of this drug in these women.
OUTLINE:
Patients receive PS-341 IV over 3-5 seconds twice weekly on weeks 1 and 2. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 12-35 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-12 months.

Group Intervention Description Treatment (bortezomib) bortezomib Patients receive PS-341 IV over 3-5 seconds twice weekly on weeks 1 and 2. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment (bortezomib) laboratory biomarker analysis Patients receive PS-341 IV over 3-5 seconds twice weekly on weeks 1 and 2. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Objective tumor response (CR + PR) Up to 24 months The agent would be of definite interest for further investigation if the associated response rate is at least 30% (p1), and would not be of further interest if the response rate is below 10% (p0).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to progression Up to 3 years Will be reported using the Kaplan-Meier method with 95% confidence intervals indicated.
Overall survival Up to 3 years Will be reported using the Kaplan-Meier method with 95% confidence intervals indicated.
Correlation between variations in the serum levels of adhesion molecules and angiogenic factors Up to 24 months Will be evaluated and descriptive analysis will be performed.
Tissue markers of biological activity Up to 24 months Will be described in case of lesions amenable to tissue biopsy. The plasma pharmacodynamics of PS-341 as measured by the 20S-proteosome assay, will be used to measured the biological activity of the drug and correlated with response to treatment and variations in biomarkers.
