Dasatinib in Preventing Second Primary Breast Cancer in Women with Estrogen Receptor Negative Breast Cancer
This randomized phase II trial studies how well dasatinib works in preventing breast cancer from developing in the unaffected breast (second primary breast cancer) in women with estrogen receptor negative breast cancer. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming. The use of dasatinib may keep cancer from forming in patients at increased risk for second primary breast cancer.
Inclusion Criteria
- Histological confirmation of ER negative breast carcinoma (defined as less than 10%), stage I, II, or III
- Completed all adjuvant therapy including (if indicated) endocrine, trastuzumab, radiation therapy
- Female: A female is eligible to enter and participate in the study if she is of: a. non-childbearing potential (i.e., women with functioning ovaries who have a current documented tubal ligation, hysterectomy alone, hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy alone or women who are post-menopausal); or b. childbearing potential (i.e., women with functioning ovaries and no documented impairment of oviductal or uterine function that would cause sterility; this category includes women with oligomenorrhea (severe), women who are perimenopausal, and young women who have begun to menstruate), has a negative serum pregnancy test at screening, and agrees to one of the following where considered acceptable to the local Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC): * Double-barrier contraception (condom with spermicidal jelly, foam suppository, or film; diaphragm with spermicide; or male condom and diaphragm) * Abstinence from sexual intercourse from 2 weeks prior to administration of the investigational product, throughout the active study treatment period * Male partner who is sterile prior to the female subject's entry into the study and is the sole sexual partner for that female subject * Any intrauterine device (IUD) * Barrier methods including diaphragm or condom with a spermicide

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the ability of treatment with daily dasatinib to decrease proliferation of high risk breast epithelial cells on contralateral random periareolar fine needle aspiration (RPFNA) in patients with breast cancer that do not overexpress estrogen receptor (ER).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate dasatinib induced modulation of cytology, other proliferation and apoptosis markers in high risk breast tissue (Y418-SRC proto-oncogene, non-receptor tyrosine kinase [Src], p-Y-118-Paxillin, epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR], phosphorylated EGFR [P-EGFR], b cell lymphoma 2 [bcl-2], cleaved caspase 3 [CC3]) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and by direct proteomic profiling methods (as well as novel markers identified in Aims 1 and 3 of the grant: insulin-like growth factor 1 [IGF-1], insulin-like growth factor-binding protein [IGFBP]1 and 3).
II. To evaluate dasatinib induced modulation of biomarker in the serum including insulin like growth factor (IGF) pathway.
III. To assess toxicity of dasatinib in this patient population.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive lower dose dasatinib orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 3 months.
ARM II: Patients receive higher dose dasatinib PO QD for 3 months.
ARM III: Patients receive no treatment.
In all arms, patients undergo RPFNA at baseline and after treatment.
