History of Changes
  Purpose

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irofulven in treating patients who have metastatic breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.


Condition Intervention Phase
Breast Cancer
 Drug: irofulven
 Phase 2

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment

Enrollment: 32
Study Start Date: May 1999
Primary Completion Date: December 2003 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Arm I
Patients receive irofulven IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment continues every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
 Drug: irofulven

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate the response rate and time to treatment failure in patients with refractory metastatic adenocarcinoma of the breast treated with irofulven.

II. Assess the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of this drug in these patients.

III. Determine the population pharmacokinetics and the pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamic relationships of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive irofulven IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15. Treatment continues every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
