A Phase II Study of Cyclophosphamide, Thiotepa, and Carboplatin (CTC) as a Preparative Regimen for Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Breast Cancer


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine long term remission rates as measured by disease free survival in
women with breast cancer treated with cyclophosphamide, thiotepa, and carboplatin followed
by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. II. Determine the safety and efficacy
of this combination chemotherapy regimen in this patient population.

OUTLINE: Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) are collected. Patients sequentially receive
cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour, thiotepa IV over 1 hour, and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on
days -6 to -4. PBSC are reinfused on day 0. Patients are followed at 3 months, 6 months, 1
year, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: At least 40 patients with 4-9 positive lymph nodes and at least 50
patients with 10 positive lymph nodes will be accrued for this study.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Histologically confirmed breast cancer Stage II with greater than
3 positive axillary lymph nodes following standard induction chemotherapy, as well as

chemotherapy with an anthracycline based regimen, and surgery and/or radiation as
clinically indicated Inflammatory carcinoma following standard induction chemotherapy with
an anthracycline based regimen, and surgery and/or radiation as clinically indicated Stage
IV metastatic disease that has demonstrated a complete response to an anthracycline
containing regimen, or no evidence of disease after surgery or radiation Hormone receptor
