Saracatinib in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Locally Advanced Breast Cancer That Cannot Be Removed By Surgery

Status:
Completed
Trial end date:
2011-02-01
Target enrollment:
0
Participant gender:
All
Summary
This phase II trial is studying saracatinib to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Saracatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth
Phase:
Phase 2
Accepts Healthy Volunteers?
No

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically or cytologically confirmed carcinoma of the breast

- Unresectable disease

- Locally advanced or metastatic (American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] stage
IV) disease

adjuvant or metastatic setting and have had recurrence or progression of disease,
respectively

- Unstable angina pectoris

- Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia

- History of myocardial infarction within 6 months of treatment

- No uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
study requirements
