Brief Summary: RATIONALE Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining erlotinib with docetaxel may kill more tumor cells
PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining erlotinib with docetaxel in treating patients who have stage IV or recurrent breast cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the antitumor effects of erlotinib and docetaxel in terms of objective response stabilization of disease and progression-free survival in patients with stage IV or recurrent breast cancer Determine time to tumor progression in patients treated with this regimen Compare time to tumor progression in patients who achieve disease stabilization or response after treatment with this regimen and continue to receive erlotinib versus patients who do not receive additional erlotinib
OUTLINE Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour once weekly for 3 weeks and oral erlotinib once daily beginning on day 1 Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for a minimum of 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression Patients achieving maximal tumor response or stabilization of disease after 6 courses may continue to receive erlotinib alone until disease progression
Patients are followed for survival
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-14 months
