Trastuzumab Plus Docetaxel in Treating Women With Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer
A Phase 2 study testing trastuzumab and docetaxel in people with Breast Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at 15 sites in United States.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Multi-Institutional Phase II Pilot Trial With Weekly Docetaxel and Herceptin as First or Second Line Therapy for HER2/Neu Overexpressing Metastatic Breast Cancer
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with monoclonal antibody therapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of trastuzumab plus docetaxel in treating women who have recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the objective response rate of women with HER2-neu overexpressing recurrent or metastatic breast cancer treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin) in combination with docetaxel. II. Determine the toxicity of this treatment regimen in these patients. III. Determine the duration of response to this treatment regimen in these patients. IV. Determine the time to progression in these patients after receiving this treatment regimen. V. Compare HER2-neu overexpression as determined by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) versus immunohistochemistry, and correlate these findings with response to this treatment regimen in these patients. VI. Correlate HER2-neu activation by immunohistochemistry and the extracellular domain of HER2-neu by ELISA with response to this treatment regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive docetaxel IV over 30 minutes weekly for 6 weeks plus trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV over 30-90 minutes weekly for 8 weeks. Treatment continues every 8 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed monthly for 3 months, every 3 months for 9 months, and then every 6 months thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-34 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing trastuzumab and docetaxel in people with Breast Cancer, run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center at 15 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 15 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Aug 2012.
