Saracatinib in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Locally Advanced Breast Cancer That Cannot Be Removed By Surgery

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2011-02-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase II trial is studying saracatinib to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Saracatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
• Treatments: Saracatinib

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Histologically or cytologically confirmed carcinoma of the breast

• Creatinine normal OR creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min

• Urine protein creatinine (UPC) ratio must be ≤ 1.0

• Patients with a UPC ratio > 1.0 must have a 24-hour urine protein < 1,000 mg to be eligible for study

• Not pregnant or nursing

• Symptomatic congestive heart failure

• Unstable angina pectoris

• Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia

• History of myocardial infarction within 6 months of treatment

• No uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
