Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: PS-341 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of PS-341 in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the objective tumor response in women with metastatic breast cancer treated with bortezomib.
* Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients.
* Determine the progression-free survival in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds twice weekly for 2 weeks. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-35 patients will be accrued for this study within 6-24 months.
