Detailed Description
Ixabepilone and capecitabine combination has demonstrated to be an active regimen in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) after failing an anthracycline and a taxane regimen. Cetuximab is active in tumors that express epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) with demonstrated activity in head and neck and colorectal tumors. A proportion of breast cancers are known to express EGFR. Cetuximab's mechanism of action suggests the possibility of efficacy in breast cancer patients, and several studies show that it may be efficacious in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). This study seeks to evaluate Ixabepilone alone or in combination with cetuximab as a possible way to increase antitumor activity. In this randomized open-label phase II trial, patients will be randomized equally between 1) Ixabepilone or 2) Ixabepilone plus Cetuximab. Randomization will be stratified by disease stage (T1N1-3M0 or T2-4 N0-3M0).
The study's primary objective is to determine the pathologic complete response rate (pCR) (breast and axilla) of Ixabepilone versus Ixabepilone when combined with cetuximab in patients with invasive breast adenocarcinoma T1N1-N3M0 or T2-4 N0-3M0 disease who are triple negative and who are candidates for preoperative chemotherapy. The secondary objectives are to evaluate overall objective response rate in both treatment groups and to assess safety and toxicity of each regimen. There are also tertiary, exploratory objectives that will hopefully allow for the correlation of biomarker expression and response to treatment.

- Patients should have T1N1-3M0 or T2-4 N0-3M0.
- Patients with bilateral breast cancer are eligible.
- Patients with second primary breast cancers are eligible.
- Patients should have a Karnofsky performance scale of greater than or equal to 70%.
- Patients must have clinically measurable disease to be treated in the neoadjuvant setting.
- Patients should have adequate bone marrow function, as defined by peripheral granulocyte count of greater than or equal to 1500/mm^3, and platelet count greater than or equal to 100000mm^3.
- Patients must have adequate liver function with a bilirubin within normal laboratory values. Alkaline phosphatase and transaminases (ALT and AST) may be up to 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) of the institution.

- Patients with Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) are excluded.
- Patients with an organ allograft or other history of immune compromise.
- Prior treatment with any investigational drug within the preceding 4 weeks.
- Chronic treatment with systemic steroids or another immunosuppressive agent.
- A Known history of HIV seropositivity.
- Patients with an active, bleeding diathesis or on oral anti-vitamin K medication (except low dose coumarin defined as 1 mg a day).
- Other concurrent and/or uncontrolled medical disease which could compromise participation in the study (i.e., uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, severe infection, severe malnutrition, unstable angina, or congestive heart failure - New York Heart Association Class III or IV, ventricular arrhythmias, active ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction within six months, chronic liver or renal disease, active upper GI tract ulceration).
- Patients with a pre-existing peripheral neuropathy.

The study's primary objective is to determine the pathologic complete response rate (pCR) (breast and axilla) of Ixabepilone versus Ixabepilone when combined with cetuximab in patients with invasive breast adenocarcinoma T1N1-N3M0 or T2-4 N0-3M0 disease who are triple negative and who are candidates for preoperative chemotherapy. The criteria used: "Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.", or similar definition that is accurate and appropriate. |

The secondary objective is to evaluate the RFS in both treatment groups.
The criteria used: "Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.", or similar definition that is accurate and appropriate.

Safety and Toxicity of Both Treatment Regimens: Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Time Frame: one year after last treatment dose
|
The number of participants with adverse events will be measured.
Toxicity/safety will be assessed by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE v.3.0).
Baseline signs and symptoms will be recorded and followed throughout the trial.
Toxicity assessments will be continuous during treatment and the year of follow-up, after which all study drug-related toxicities will be deemed resolved, stabilized, or irreversible.
Vital signs will be performed at baseline and will be monitored pre-dose and during study drug administration for Cycles 1 - 4. Chemistry and hematology laboratory tests will be done at baseline and prior to each subsequent chemotherapy cycle.
