PHASE2
Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodie...
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the antitumor activity, by confirmed response rate, of concurrent irinotecan hydrochloride and cetuximab in patients with metastatic breast cancer with prior anthracy...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
- Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the breast
- Clinical manifestations of metastatic disease
- If patient's tumor is HER2 positive (3+ by immunohistochemistry \[IHC\] or amplified by fluorescent in situ hybridization \[FISH\]), must have received at least one prior trastuzumab (Herceptin)-containing regimen unless there is a contraindication
- Measurable disease defined as at least one lesion whose longest diameter can be accurately measured
- The only evidence of metastasis must not be bone metastases or other non-measurable disease
- Nonmeasurable disease is defined as all other lesions, including small lesions (longest diameter \< 2 cm) and truly nonmeasurable lesions which include any of the following:
- Bone lesions
- Leptomeningeal disease
- Ascites
- Pleural/pericardial effusion
- Inflammatory breast disease
- Lymphangitis cutis/pulmonis
- Cystic lesions
- Abdominal masses that are not confirmed and followed by imaging techniques
- No known CNS metastasis unless controlled by prior surgery and/or radiotherapy
- To be considered controlled, there must be at least 2 months of no symptoms or evidence of progression prior to study entry
- Hormone receptor status
- Not specified
- PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- Men or women
- Menopausal status not specified
- ECOG performance status 0-2
- Life expectancy \> 3 months
- Hemoglobin \> 8.0 g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm³
- Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm³
- Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Bilirubin normal
- AST and ALT ≤ 5 times ULN
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Negative pregnancy test
- Fertile patients must employ adequate contraception (as determined by the treating physician) during treatment and for 30 days after treatment ends
- Disease-free for ≥ 3 years of other invasive non-breast malignancies (exception: curatively treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix)
- No history of allergy or hypersensitivity to drug product excipients, murine antibodies, or agents chemically similar to irinotecan and/or cetuximab
- No history or evidence of Gilbert's syndrome
- No active, unresolved infection
- No New York Heart Association class III or IV cardiovascular disease
- No serious concomitant medical condition that would make it undesirable for patient to participate in the trial or would jeopardize compliance with protocol treatment
- PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- See Disease Characteristics
- No more than 2 prior chemotherapy regimens in the metastatic setting (irrespective of hormonal therapy or prior trastuzumab therapy)
- Prior treatment in the metastatic or adjuvant setting must have included an anthracycline or a taxane
- No major surgery ≤ 3 weeks prior to registration
- No chemotherapy ≤ 2 weeks prior to registration
- No radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks prior to registration
- No prior irinotecan hydrochloride
- No prior therapy with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonist (either monoclonal antibody or tyrosine kinase inhibitor), such as gefitinib or erlotinib
- No prior therapy with a dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitor (e.g., lapatinib)
- No concurrent interleukin-11(oprelvekin)
- Routine use of granulocyte colony stimulating factors (CSFs) is not permitted during course 1 of this study
- Subsequent use of CSFs is permitted at the discretion of the treating investigator
- No other concurrent antitumor therapy
