ICI 182780 in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer

Phase II Trial Of Fulvestrant (Faslodex) In Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer And Failure on Aromatase Inhibitor Therapy

RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using ICI 182780 may fight breast cancer by blocking the activity of estrogen in the tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ICI 182780 in treating patients who have metastatic breast cancer that has not responded to previous hormone therapy.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the complete and partial objective response rate and duration of response in women with metastatic breast cancer who have failed aromatase inhibitor therapy treated with fulvestrant.
  • Determine the time to disease progression and overall survival of women treated with this drug.
  • Determine the toxicity of this drug in these women.

OUTLINE: Patients receive fulvestrant intramuscularly on day 1. Courses repeat approximately every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 5 years or until disease progression. After disease progression, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.
