This is a research study to evaluate the effects of ThermoDox in combination with therapeutic heating of the chest wall in the treatment of recurrent regional breast cancer. The main purpose of this study is to find out if adding ThermoDox to therapeutic heat will increase how long the breast cancer stays away after treatment.

Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study |
Official Title: | A Phase I/II Study Evaluating the Maximum Tolerated Dose, Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Efficacy of Microwave Hyperthermia and ThermoDox (Lyso-Thermosensitive Liposomal Doxorubucin) in Patients With Breast Cancer Recurrence at the Chest Wall |
Estimated Enrollment: | 109 |
Study Start Date: | January 2009 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | July 2010 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | March 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Dosing will begin at 40 mg/m2 (Level 1) and will escalate in 10 mg/m2 increments until the MTD or the 50 mg/m2 cohort is completed. Patients will be sequentially enrolled in cohorts of 3 patients until the MTD is reached. Hyperthermia is a therapy used to heat tumors. Using focused microwave energy, the tumor is heated to a certain temperature. The heat can damage cancer cells at levels that are usually safe for normal cells and can be used to attack cancer in four major ways: 1) heat damages or weakens the cells of the tumor; 2) heat increase blood flow through the weakened tumor; 3) increased blood flow raises oxygen levels in tumors; and 4) when the body senses fever it can stimulate the nature immune system.
All patients will receive six ThermoDox/MH treatments at 21-day intervals unless unacceptable toxicity or progressive disease is seen.
