A Phase I, Open-Label Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of GW572016 in Combination With Trastuzumab [Herceptin†]


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the optimally tolerated regimen of GW572016 when administered with
trastuzumab (Herceptin^®) in patients with metastatic breast cancer that overexpresses
HER2/neu.

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

Secondary

- Determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the clinical response in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study of GW572016.

Patients receive oral GW572016 once daily on days 1-28 and trastuzumab (Herceptin^®) IV over
90 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of GW572016 until the optimally tolerated
regimen (OTR) is determined. The OTR is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6
patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the OTR is determined, 10-18 additional
patients are entered and treated at the OTR.

Patients are followed at 28 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-35 patients will be accrued for this study.
