Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cardiac Events

    A cardiac event was defined as a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of \>=20 points from baseline if the resting LVEF remained in the normal range, or a decrease of \>=10 points if the LVEF became abnormal (lower than the institutional lower limit of normal).

    Every 4 weeks during 6 cycles.

Study Arms (1)

Single-arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Pegylated Lyposomal Doxorubicin (Caelyx) 50 mg/m2, given for 6 cycles

Drug: Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin

Interventions

Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Caelyx) IV, 50 mg/m2 once every 4 weeks for 6 cycles or until disease progression, whichever is earlier. Patients still receiving clinical benefit after a total of 6 cycles of Caelyx, may continue therapy at the discretion of the investigator.

Also known as: SCH 200746
Single-arm

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Women with histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic breast cancer (no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease).
  • Prior treatment with an anthracyclin-containing regimen in the adjuvant setting (cumulative dose \>240mg/m\^2 and \<360mg/m\^2 doxorubicin or \>430mg/m\^2 and \<650mg/m\^2 epirubicin).
  • Women \>18 years of age.
  • Documented measurable and/or evaluable metastatic breast cancer by appropriate radiological imaging (computed tomography (CT) scan and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)).
  • Performance status of at least 60% (Karnofsky index) and a life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction \>50%.
  • Normal organ function, except if abnormal due to tumor involvement.
  • Adequate bone marrow function as indicated:
  • Platelets \>100,000/mm\^3
  • Hemoglobin \>9 g/dL
  • Neutrophils \>1,500/mm\^3
  • Adequate renal function as indicated by:
  • Serum Creatinine \<1.5 x the upper limit of normal
  • Adequate liver function, as indicated by:
  • Bilirubin and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \<2 times upper limit of normal (\<4 times upper limit of normal when related to primary disease)
  • +3 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient is pregnant or is breastfeeding.
  • Patients with moderate or severe heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III/IV).
  • Hypersensitivity to anthracycline therapy or a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions to products containing Cremophor® EL (e.g., cyclosporin for injection concentrate and teniposide for injection concentrate).
  • Prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease.
  • Clinically significant hepatic disease (except liver metastases of primary disease).
  • Uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infection.
  • Radiotherapy in the last 4 weeks or prior radiation therapy to more than one-third of the hemopoietic sites.
  • Any other currently known malignancy or pre-malignant lesions or any history of other malignancy within the past five years (except non-melanoma skin cancer and surgically cured cervical cancer).
  • Symptomatic brain metastasis.
  • Patients who are incapacitated, largely or wholly bedridden or confined to a wheelchair, and who have little or no ability for self-care.
  • Current signs or symptoms of severe, progressive or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, hematologic, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, neurological or cerebral disease.
  • Documented human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
  • Any condition (medical, social, psychological) which would prevent adequate follow-up.
