Phase II Study of Naltrexone for the Treatment of Hormone-Refractory, Metastatic Breast Cancer
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the efficacy of naltrexone in women with hormone-refractory, metastatic
breast cancer as measured by serial fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission
tomography-CT scans.
Secondary
- Determine the safety of naltrexone in these patients.
- Determine the median time to event (first time when maximum specific uptake values is
higher than that at baseline) within 1 year of study entry.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.
Patients receive oral naltrexone once daily for 8 weeks in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity. After 8 weeks, patients may continue naltrexone off
study at the discretion of the physician.
Patients undergo fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography-CT scans at baseline,
week 4, week 8, and periodically thereafter.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for up to 1 year.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 35 patients will be accrued for this study.
