研究概览
简要总结
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of RO4929097 when given together with letrozole in treating post-menopausal women with stage II or stage III breast cancer. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using letrozole may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Giving RO4929097 together with letrozole may be an effective treatment for breast cancer.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To establish the maximum-tolerated dose and the recommended phase II dose of gamma-secretase inhibitor RO4929097 (RO4929097) in combination with letrozole in post-menopausal women with hormone receptor-positive stage II or III breast cancer.
II. To assess the safety of this regimen in these patients.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of this regimen, taking into consideration the induction of CYP3A4, in these patients.
