Phase II Study of Gemcitabine in the Treatment of Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Previously Treated With Adriamycin and Taxol
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the objective response rate to gemcitabine in women with metastatic breast
cancer previously treated with two to four chemotherapy regimens, including doxorubicin
and paclitaxel.
- Characterize the nature of toxicity of gemcitabine in this patient population.
- Determine the response duration to gemcitabine in this patient population.
OUTLINE: Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes once weekly for 3 consecutive weeks
(days 1, 8, and 15) followed by 1 week of rest. Treatment continues every 4 weeks in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects.
Patients are followed until death.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 14-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 13
months.
