Trastuzumab and Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Clinical Trials References presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or professional assistance by using a real medical. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician about Trastuzumab and Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Trastuzumab and Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Clinical research trials and Trastuzumab and Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectualness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover treatments for all sorts of conditions, such as Trastuzumab and Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer. Trastuzumab and Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to access healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for without cost, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Trastuzumab and Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer clinical trial. Subjects often receive the most expert healthcare possible for their Trastuzumab and Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and could include additional or frequent dr. calls, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Trastuzumab and Gefitinib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer
For Condition: stage 4 breast cancer,recurrent breast cancer,Male Breast Cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: The monoclonal antibodytrastuzumab can locate breast cancer cells that have HER2 on their surface and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Biological therapies such as gefitinib may also interfere with the growth of tumor cells and may enhance the effects of trastuzumab. Combining trastuzumab with gefitinib may be an effective treatment for metastatic breast cancers with high amounts of HER2. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining trastuzumab with gefitinib in treating patients who have HER2-positive breast cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the response rate, duration of response, and time to progression in patients with metastatic breast cancer that overexpresses HER2-neu treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and gefitinib . - Determine the phase II dose of gefitinib when given in combination with trastuzumab in these patients. - Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients. - Determine the 3- and 6-month progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen. - Correlate response rates with plasma levels of circulating HER2 and tumor levels of epidermal growth factor receptor, activated HER2, and HER2 receptors, as measured by immunohistochemistry and/or fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), in patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of gefitinib. The phase I portion of this study was open in only 5 ECOG institutions. The phase I portion has been completed, and the study is being opened in all ECOG-affiliated institutions. - Patients receive trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV over 30-90 minutes once weekly and oral gefitinib once daily beginning on day 1. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of gefitinib until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is established, additional patients are accrued to the phase II portion of the study and are treated at that dose. - Phase II: Patients receive oral gefitinib once daily (at the MTD established in phase I) and trastuzumab IV weekly until week 24, at which time trastuzumab is given every 3 weeks (with daily gefitinib) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 1 year. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-12 patients will be accrued for the phase I portion of this study. The phase I portion of this study has been completed. A total of 34-132 patients (15-46 previously treated with chemotherapy but not trastuzumab [Herceptin] in the metastatic setting; 19-86 not previously treated with chemotherapy or trastuzumab in the metastatic setting) will be accrued for the phase II portion of this study.
