PV-10 Chemoablation of Recurrent Breast Carcinoma

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2008-07-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: Female

Summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the safety of intralesional (IL) PV-10 for the treatment of recurrent breast carcinoma. This study will also include a preliminary assessment of response of injected lesions by histologic assessment upon lesion excision at 1-3 weeks following IL PV-10 administration. Post-excision wound healing will be assessed clinically at 1 week and 4 weeks following excision of PV-10 injected lesions.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

• Severe diabetes or extremity complications due to diabetes

• Significant concurrent disease or illness, psychiatric disorders, or alcohol or chemical dependence that would, in the opinion of the investigator, compromise subject safety or compliance or interfere with interpretation of study results

• Thyroid autoregulatory dysfunction, including thyroid disease (subclinical or ongoing), goiter, partial thyroidectomy, prior radioiodine- or surgically-treated Graves' hyperthyroidism, or cystic fibrosis

• Pregnancy or fertile female subjects who are not using effective contraception, or who are lactating
