Trial Information

A Phase II Study of Intravenous Edotecarin (PHA-782615) in Patients With Anthracycline- and Taxane-Refractory or Chemoresistant Metastatic Breast Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the antitumor activity of edotecarin in women with anthracycline- and
taxane-refractory or chemoresistant locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

Secondary

- Determine the time to tumor response and duration of response in patients treated with
this drug.

- Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

- Determine the clinical benefit of this drug in these patients.

- Determine the safety and tolerability of this drug in these patients.

- Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study.

Patients receive edotecarin IV over 1 hour on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 2 months until disease progression.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 31-65 patients will be accrued for this study.
