Condition(s) targeted: Breast Cancer

Intervention: Intraductal arm (Drug); Intravenous arm (Drug)

Phase: Phase 1

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy in different ways, such as into the breast ducts, may kill more tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of liposomal doxorubicin when given before mastectomy in treating women with invasive breast cancer.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Phase I Study Assessing the Feasibility and Safety of Intraductal Administration of Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Doxil) in Women With Breast Cancer

Study design: Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

Secondary outcome:

Concentrations of Doxorubicin in Blood (Plasma) at Definitive Surgery

Concentrations of Doxorubicin in Tissue at Definitive Surgery

Detailed description: OBJECTIVES: Primary

- Evaluate the feasibility, safety, and maximum tolerated dose of intraductal pegylated

doxorubicin HCl liposome in women with invasive breast cancer awaiting mastectomy. Secondary

- Determine the pharmacokinetics of intraductal pegylated doxorubicin HCl liposome,

including serial plasma concentrations of doxorubicin and doxorubicinol and tissue concentrations in different portions of the breast at the time of surgery. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients receive an intraductal injection of pegylated doxorubicin HCl liposome* on day 1. Patients undergo mastectomy 2-4 weeks later. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of pegylated doxorubicin HCl liposome* until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. At least 6 patients are treated at the MTD. NOTE: *The first cohort of 3 patients receive intraductal dextrose only followed by surgery as a feasibility study. An additional 3 patients receiving intravenous PLD will be enrolled in a pharmacokinetic control portion of the study.
