PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy consisting of etoposide and ifosfamide given with mesna and cisplatin in treating patients who have metastatic breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the objective response rate in patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with etoposide ifosfamide with mesna and cisplatin Determine the tolerability and toxicity of this regimen in these patients
OUTLINE Patients are stratified according to number of prior chemotherapy courses for metastatic disease 0 vs 1
Patients receive etoposide IV over 60-90 minutes cisplatin IV over 30 minutes and ifosfamide IV over 30 minutes on days 1-3 Mesna is administered IV over 15 minutes 30 minutes prior to and 4 hours after ifosfamide then orally at 8 hours post infusion Treatment continues every 28 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression
Patients are followed every 3 months
PROJECTED ACCRUAL At least 36 patients 16 per stratum will be accrued over 36 months
