Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as arsenic trioxide, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well arsenic trioxide works in treating women with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the safety and activity of arsenic trioxide in women with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.

- Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of this drug in these patients.

Secondary

- Determine the response, in terms of objective tumor response and response duration, in patients treated with this drug.

- Determine the patterns of failure and survival in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a pilot study.

Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 1-2 hours on days 1-5 of week 1 and on days 1 and 5 of weeks 2-8 (for course 1 only). Beginning with course 2 and for all subsequent courses, patients receive arsenic trioxide on days 1 and 5 of weeks 1-8. Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients who have a complete response (CR) receive an additional course beyond documentation of CR. Patients who have a CR due to local consolidative therapy (e.g., surgery or radiotherapy) receive an additional 2 courses beyond CR.

Patients are followed for 1 month, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 14-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-24 months. ;
