Objectives


I. Determine the antitumor activity of CI-958 in three separate cohorts with 
metastatic breast cancer.

Outline


This is a nonrandomized, noncomparative, open label study.

Patients receive a single dose of CI-958 on day 1 of a three week cycle. 
CI-958 is administered in 2 hour intravenous infusions by peripheral vein or 
central line catheter.

Subsequent doses of CI-958 are administered every 21 days, unless the patient 
has an adverse event or has not recovered from the previous course.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
