Exemestane With or Without ATN-224 in Treating Postmenopausal Women With Recurrent or Advanced Breast Cancer

Lead Sponsor:

Cancer Research UK

Conditions:

Breast Cancer

Eligibility:

FEMALE

18+ years

Phase:

PHASE2

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Exemestane may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. ATN-224 may stop the growth of breast cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is...

OBJECTIVES: Primary * Compare progression-free survival of postmenopausal women with, estrogen receptor- and/or progesterone receptor-positive recurrent or advanced breast cancer treated with exemes...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Histologically confirmed breast cancer
  • Recurrent disease after 2-3 years of adjuvant treatment with an anti-estrogen (documented by imaging techniques)
  • Advanced disease that has recurred during or after anti-estrogen therapy
  • Measurable or evaluable disease by conventional techniques, with ≥ 1 lesion that can be followed for response
  • Bone metastases only are eligible provided they have ≥ 1 lytic lesion (not previously irradiated or planned for irradiation) that can be followed by X-ray or CT scanning
  • Cutaneous skin metastases only are eligible provided the skin lesions are \> 10 mm and can be followed by good quality photography with a ruler included in the photograph
  • No clinically apparent brain metastases
  • Hormone receptor status must meet 1 of the following criteria:
  • Estrogen receptor-positivity
  • Score ≥ 3 on a scale (range of 0 to 8), or equivalent score from other grading methods, representing the intensity and percentage of positive-staining tumor cells by immunohistochemistry
  • Greater than or equal to 5 fmol/mg protein by ligand binding assay or ELISA
  • Progesterone receptor-positivity
  • Score ≥ 3 on a scale (range of 0 to 8) or equivalent score from other grading methods, representing the intensity and percentage of positive-staining tumor cells by immunohistochemistry
  • No HER-2 overexpression, defined as gene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization \[FISH\] OR 3+ overexpression by IHC)
  • PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Postmenopausal as defined by any of the following:
  • Surgical or radiation-induced
  • No menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months with no other biological or physiological cause in women with an intact uterus

  • Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • ALT and/or AST ≤ 2.5 times ULN (5 times ULN if due to tumor)
  • Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min
  • No history of malabsorption syndromes or other gastrointestinal disorders that may affect SOD1 inhibitor ATN-224 absorption, including any of the following:
  • Bowel obstruction
  • Celiac disease
  • Sprue
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • No history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to SOD1 inhibitor ATN-224, omeprazole (or other proton pump inhibitor), or exemestane
  • No non-malignant systemic disease including active uncontrolled infection
  • No serologic positivity for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV
  • No concurrent congestive heart failure

  • No other concurrent malignancy, except adequately treated cone-biopsied carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix, basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
  • Cancer survivors who have undergone potentially curative therapy for a prior malignancy, have no evidence of that disease for 5 years, and are deemed at low risk for recurrence are eligible
  • No other condition which, in the investigator's opinion, would not make the patient a good candidate for this study
  • PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
  • See Disease Characteristics
  • Recovered from all prior therapy (alopecia allowed)
  • At least 1 year since prior bilateral oophorectomy
  • Prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment with tamoxifen allowed

  • No concurrent chronic steroid therapy for concurrent illness or cancer (short-term steroid use for concurrent illness allowed \[e.g., for acute asthma\])
  • No concurrent copper- or zinc-containing vitamins or supplements
  • No concurrent participation in another interventional clinical study (participation in an observational study allowed)
  • No other concurrent copper-binding drug (e.g., penicillamine or trientine)
