Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. BMS-247550 in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer Clinical research trials and BMS-247550 in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer healthcare trials happen in many of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover cures for all varieties of conditions, such as BMS-247550 in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer. BMS-247550 in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Some times the human subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a BMS-247550 in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes receive the most effective healthcare possible for their BMS-247550 in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer condition.

BMS-247550 in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer



BMS-247550 in Treating Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer

For Condition: recurrent breast cancer,stage 4 breast cancer
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) , Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of BMS-247550 in treating women who have stage IV or recurrent metastatic breast cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the clinical activity of BMS-247550, in terms of tumor response rate, in women with taxane-resistant metastatic breast cancer. II. Determine the safety of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the duration of response, time to progression, and survival of patients treated with this drug. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive BMS-247550 IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment continues every 3 weeks for 4-18 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving complete response (CR) receive 4 additional courses beyond CR. Responding patients may receive additional courses at the investigator's discretion. Patients are followed every 3 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 14-50 patients will be accrued for this study within 12 months.
