Phase II Randomized Double-Blind Evaluation of Two Dose Levels of LY353381 Hydrochloride Administered to Women With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer


OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the response rate or clinical benefit rate in patients with locally
advanced or metastatic breast cancer treated with 1 of 2 different doses of arzoxifene
hydrochloride. II. Compare the response rates and clinical benefit rates for patients with
tamoxifen-sensitive versus tamoxifen-refractory disease. III. Compare the degree of toxicity
between the 2 doses of arzoxifene hydrochloride in these patients. IV. Compare the quality
of life and survival of these patients receiving high versus low dose arzoxifene
hydrochloride. V. Determine the time to progressive disease, time to treatment failure, and
response duration of this treatment in these patients. VII. Measure changes in serum
estradiol, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and sex hormone binding
globulin in these patients during treatment.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double blind study. Patients are stratified according to
number of metastatic sites (less than 3 vs 3 or more), tamoxifen sensitivity (sensitive vs
refractory), and degree of estrogen receptor positivity (high vs low vs unknown). Patients
are randomized to receive 1 of 2 doses of arzoxifene hydrochloride. Patients receive
arzoxifene hydrochloride orally once daily for 12 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence
of toxicity and disease progression. Quality of life is assessed before, during, and at the
completion of the study. Patients are followed every 4 weeks for 12 weeks, at 30 days after
the last treatment, and every 2-3 months after the last treatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: This study will accrue 104-114 patients.
