A Phase II Study Using SGN-15 (cBR96 - Doxorubicin Immunoconjugate) in Combination With Taxotere for the Treatment of Metastatic or Recurrent Breast Carcinoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the toxicity and safety profile of doxorubicin-monoclonal antibody BR96
immunoconjugate (SGN-15) and docetaxel in women with metastatic or recurrent breast
cancer.

- Determine the clinical response rate and duration of response of patients treated with
this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive doxorubicin-monoclonal antibody BR96 immunoconjugate (SGN-15) IV
over 2 hours and docetaxel IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of weeks 1-6. Treatment repeats every
8 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed at 4 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 45 patients will be accrued for this study within 18-24
months.
