Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is compare different doses of capecitabine to see if one is better than the other in terms of efficacy and toxicity.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Breast Cancer Gastrointestinal Cancer Drug: Capecitabine Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Goals of treatment of metastatic breast cancer remain largely comfort care. However, there has been improvement in median survival among women with metastatic disease over the last two decades, mainly due to availability of more effective agents. Women are now living longer with metastatic disease and are on therapy for longer periods of time. Therefore, it is increasingly important for effective therapies to be associated with less toxicity so that women can enjoy a better overall quality of life. Similar to breast cancer, goals of treatment of various GI malignancies (including metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic gastric and esophageal cancers, and unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma) are largely comfort care and it is important to minimize toxicity from therapy during the treatment for metastatic disease.

Capecitabine is a unique chemotherapeutic agent for two reasons. It is the only oral chemotherapy drug available to treat breast and GI malignancies, making it convenient for patients. In addition, whereas all other cytotoxic chemotherapy agents can be administered for only a few months at a time because of development of cumulative toxicities, capecitabine can be continued for many months to years if toxicities can be managed. However the optimal dosing schedule of capecitabine is not known.

This is the basis for the proposed randomized phase II trial, to compare the efficacy and tolerability of capecitabine 1500 milligrams (mg) twice a day (BID), 7 days on and 7 days off schedule to capecitabine 1250 milligrams/meters squared (mg/m2) BID, 14 days on and 7 days off) or 1000 mg/m2 BID, 14 days on and 7 days off, in women with metastatic breast cancer or patients with advanced/metastatic GI cancer.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Twelve-week Progression Free Survival (cohort 1 only) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks from the date of registration into the study ]
    As the percentage of patients with progression from the date of registration to 12 weeks from that date


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Grade 3 or higher toxicity (cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: From Day 1 of treatment, throughout treatment, up to 2 years from Day 1 of treatment ]
    Percentage of patients having grade 3 or higher toxicity from the date of first treatment dose during the trial therapy to patient develops Grade 3 or higher toxicity.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Objective response rate (cohorts 1 and 2) [ Time Frame: From Day 1 of treatment, throughout treatment, up to 2 years from Day 1 of treatment ]
    Objective response rate (complete and partial in subset of patients with measurable disease) from date of first treatment dose to disease progression

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women with metastatic breast cancer OR men and women with metastatic gastrointestinal (GI) cancer
  • There is no limit to the number of prior chemotherapy or endocrine therapy regimens received. Use of a previous fluoropyrimidine-containing regimen in advanced / metastatic setting is permitted as long as the subject discontinued the regimen for reasons other than progression.
  • No restriction on the use of fluoropyrimidine-containing regimen in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting
  • For metastatic colorectal cancers, patients starting maintenance capecitabine after a course of oxaliplatin or irinotecan based chemotherapy are eligible.
  • Measurable or non-measurable disease per RECIST criteria 1.1
  • Must have completed prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy at least 2 weeks prior to registration
  • Pathologic confirmation of respective malignancies. Biopsy of metastatic disease is preferred but not mandatory.
  • Performance Status: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Score (PS) 0-2
