ICI 182780 in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer

Basic Trial Information

Phase	Type	Status	Age	Sponsor	Protocol IDs
Phase II	Treatment	Closed	18 and over	NCI	NCCTG-N0032 N0032, NCT00012025

Objectives

1. Determine the complete and partial objective response rate and duration of response in women with metastatic breast cancer who have failed aromatase inhibitor therapy treated with fulvestrant.
2. Determine the time to disease progression and overall survival of women treated with this drug.
3. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these women.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

• Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the breast
  • Progressive local-regional or metastatic disease
  • Unconfirmed new or progressive multiple pulmonary nodules or unequivocal radiographic evidence of multiple bone metastases allowed



• At least 1 measurable lesion
  • At least 20 mm by CT scan or MRI OR at least 10 mm by spiral CT scan
  • Nonmeasurable disease includes the following:
    • Bone lesions
    • Leptomeningeal disease
    • Ascites
    • Pleural/pericardial effusions
    • Lymphangitis cutis/pulmonis
    • Inflammatory breast disease
    • Abdominal masses not confirmed and followed by imaging techniques
    • Cystic lesions



• Disease progression after prior third-generation aromatase inhibitor (e.g., anastrozole, exemestane, letrozole, or vorozole)
  • Failed no more than 1 prior additive hormonal therapy (e.g., aromatase inhibitor with or without tamoxifen)
    • Disease recurrence identified no more than 12 months since the last prior adjuvant tamoxifen treatment
    • Oophorectomy, ovarian radiotherapy, and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) analogs not considered hormonal therapy regimens



• No brain or leptomeningeal metastases



• No hepatic metastases involving more than one-third of the liver



• No symptomatic pulmonary lymphangitic disease



• Evidence of hormone sensitivity as defined by:
  • Relapse after at least 12 months of adjuvant hormonal treatment
  • Tumor remission or stabilization before progression for at least 6 months after prior hormonal therapy for advanced disease



• Postmenopausal as defined by one of the following:
  • At least 12 months since last menstrual period
  • 4-11 months since last menstrual period and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in the postmenopausal range
  • Prior castration and castrate FSH levels within the postmenopausal range
  • Hysterectomy without oophorectomy (FSH in postmenopausal range if age 60 and under)



• Hormone receptor status:
  • Estrogen-receptor and/or progesterone-receptor positive
    • At least 10 fmol/mg cytosol protein

      OR

    • Positive by immunohistochemistry

Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Expected Enrollment

Approximately 41-94 patients will be accrued for this study within 10 months.

Outline

Patients receive fulvestrant intramuscularly on day 1. Courses repeat approximately every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 5 years or until disease progression. After disease progression, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.
