Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well capecitabine works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* Determine the response rate in patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with a fixed-dose of capecitabine.
Secondary
* Determine the clinical benefit, time to treatment failure (TTF), safety, and toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients.
* Determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacogenetics in these patients.
* Correlate pharmacodynamic effects of this drug with toxicity and response in these patients.
* Determine compliance and adherence to this regimen and correlate with PK parameters in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label study.
Patients receive a fixed-dose of oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 45 patients will be accrued for this study.
