Docetaxel & Epirubicin With & Without G-CSF in Treating Women With

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Colony-stimulating factors such as G-CSF may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person 's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of docetaxel and epirubicin with and without G-CSF in treating women with metastatic breast cancer.

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of docetaxel in combination with epirubicin and filgrastim (G-CSF) as first-line therapy in women with metastatic breast cancer (phase II closed as of 03/27/2000). II. Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of docetaxel and epirubicin in these patients. III. Evaluate the toxicity of this regimen given at the recommended phase II dose. IV. Determine the response rate and duration of response in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of epirubicin and docetaxel. Patients receive epirubicin IV over 15 minutes followed by docetaxel IV over 60 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously on days 4-13. Treatment continues every 3 weeks for at least 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of epirubicin and docetaxel until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose in which at least 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Additional patients will be accrued to receive treatment at the recommended phase II dose (phase II closed as of 03/27/2000). Patients are followed at 1 month and then every 3 months for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 15-20 patients will be accrued within 4-5 months for the phase I portion of the study. A total of 15-30 patients will be accrued within 7-8 months for the phase II portion of the study (closed as of 03/27/2000). ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
