Brief Summary: RATIONALE Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells Hormone therapy using ERA-923 may fight breast cancer by blocking the uptake of estrogen by the tumor cells
PURPOSE Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ERA-923 in treating postmenopausal women who have metastatic breast cancer that no longer responds to tamoxifen
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Compare the efficacy of 2 dose levels of ERA-923 in postmenopausal patients with metastatic breast cancer refractory to tamoxifen II Determine the safety and plasma levels of this drug in these patients III Determine the impact on quality of life of these patients by this drug
OUTLINE This is a randomized double blind multicenter study Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms receiving different doses of ERA-923 Patients receive oral ERA-923 daily for 48 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Quality of life is assessed at baseline at weeks 4 8 16 24 32 40 and 48 and then at 4 weeks after last dose Patients are followed at 4 weeks and then every 3 months thereafter
PROJECTED ACCRUAL At total of 36-100 patients 18-50 per arm will be accrued for this study within 1 year
