A Phase I Study of DHEA in Combination With Letrozole in ER- Breast Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- To determine the maximum tolerable dose, dose-limiting toxicity, and pharmacokinetics
of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) when given together with letrozole in patients with
androgen receptor-positive and estrogen receptor- and progesterone receptor-negative
metastatic breast cancer.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral dehydroepiandrosterone and oral letrozole once daily.
Physical exams and blood collections are performed every two weeks. Tumor assessments are
performed once every three months.
