Problems solved by technology

However, doxorubicin is associated with serious and sometimes life threatening side effects.
In particular, doxorubicin's use is limited by the potential for patients to suffer irreversible cardiotoxicity.
Clinically relevant cardiotoxicity has been a particular issue in combination regimens of doxorubicin and the taxanes, especially paclitaxel, and to a lesser extent docetaxel and albumin-bound paclitaxel (Abraxan®).
Doxorubicin and trastuzumab are known to be cardiotoxic, and their concomitant combined use presents a significant risk of cardiotoxicity.

[0075]The following study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of non-pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (MYOCET®), paclitaxel and trastuzumab as first-line treatment in patients with HER2-over-expressing metastatic breast cancer. Inclusion criteria for the study are: (1) metastatic HER2+ breast cancer by FISH analysis; (2) no prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease; (3) measurable disease; and (4) normal left ventricular ejection fraction. Exclusion criteria are: (1) prior doxorubicin treatment exceeding 300 mg / m2 or prior epirubicin treatment exceeding 600 mg / m2; and (2) relapse within 12 months of completion of adjuvant trastuzumab, taxane or anthracycline therapy.

[0076]The primary objectives of this trial are to demonstrate the efficacy and cardiac safety of Myocet® when given in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel in patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for treating metastatic breast cancer in an individual comprising administering to an individual in need thereof a dosing regimen which comprises administering to the individual nonpegylated liposomal doxorubicin, a taxane and a HER2 / neu receptor antagonist, wherein the individual previously has been administered an anthracycline.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 167,747, filed Apr. 8, 2009 and U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 294,712, filed Jan. 13, 2010, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention is in the field of treatment for metastatic breast cancer in an individual who has previously been administered an anthracycline.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Breast cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer deaths in women. In the United States, it accounts for 30% of all malignancies that affect women, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer. About one-third of newly diagnosed patients will eventually recur and / or develop metastatic disease.[0004]Approximately 25% of patients with breast cancer have tumors that over-express HER2. Data from large, international trials of adjuvant regimens for primary breast cancer in the pre-trastuzumab era have shown a sig...
