Paclitaxel With or Without Trastuzumab Following Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation in Treating Patients With Refractory Stage IV Breast Cancer
A Phase 2 study testing trastuzumab and paclitaxel in people with Breast Cancer, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Treatment of Refractory Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer With Weekly Paclitaxel or Weekly Paclitaxel and Herceptin Following Autologous/Syngeneic Stem Cell Transplant
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Paclitaxel may stop the growth of breast cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of paclitaxel with or without trastuzumab following peripheral stem cell transplantation in treating patients who have refractory stage IV breast cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the toxicity of paclitaxel with or without trastuzumab following high dose chemotherapy with autologous or syngeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in patients with stage IV breast cancer. II. Assess the overall survival of these patients.
OUTLINE: Patients begin study treatment within 50-150 days after autologous or syngeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Patients are stratified according to overexpression of HER2-Neu (yes vs no), which determines the type of therapy. Arm I (overexpression of HER2-Neu): Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 60 minutes followed by the initial loading dose of trastuzumab IV over 90 minutes. If the loading dose is tolerated well, then patients receive maintenance trastuzumab IV over 30 minutes. Treatment with paclitaxel followed by maintenance trastuzumab repeats once every week for 12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Arm II (no overexpression of Her2-Neu): Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 60 minutes once every week for 12 weeks. Patients with hormone receptor positive disease also receive antihormonal therapy (tamoxifen or anastrozole) as clinically indicated. Patients with isolated metastasis such as a single bone lesion may receive radiotherapy to that site after completion of study treatment. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients (30 per arm) will be accrued for this study over 2-3 years.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing trastuzumab and paclitaxel in people with Breast Cancer, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Apr 2010.
