Keywords: Phase 1/2 2-part study bosutinib and capecitabine
Allocation: NON_RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 32
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This is a research study in 2 parts assessing the following parameters of the combination of the study drug called bosutinib, and a drug called capecitabine: the safety, how well the subject's body handles the study drug, and preliminary anti-tumor activity as treatment for different types of cancers in part 1, and breast cancer only in part 2.

In part 1, subjects will receive bosutinib and capecitabine daily at different dose levels of each drug in order to determine the highest tolerated dose of the combination study treatment. In part 2, subjects will receive bosutinib and capecitabine at this highest tolerated dose to see how well the study treatment works to treat breast cancer. In addition, genetic research testing (research analyses involving genes and gene products) will be performed on biological samples from subjects.

Detailed description:
The study was prematurely discontinued following Part 1 evaluation, when the sponsor concluded that further translational biomarker analyses were needed to better define the breast tumor biomarkers that predict sensitivity to Src family kinase inhibitors. Thus the Sponsor made a determination to stop the study after Part 1 as communicated to investigators on 02Dec2010 . No subjects were enrolled into Part 2 of this study. The study was not terminated due to safety reasons.

Arms:
arm 1: In part 1 (phase 1), ascending and descending multiple oral doses of bosutinib + capecitabine. Doses in part 1 include capecitabine 750 mg/m2 BID on days 1-14 + bosutinib 200 mg QD; capecitabine 625 mg/m2 BID on days 1-14 + bosutinib 300 mg QD. Depending on safety, capecitabine can also be administered at 1000 mg/m2 BID and bosutinib can be administered at 200 mg/m2 QD. The MTD of the combination treatment determined from part 1, will be administered in part 2 (phase 2).

Interventions: intervention 1: Bosutinib intervention 2: Capecitabine
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Doses in part 1 include bosutinib 200 mg QD; bosutinib 300 mg QD. Depending on safety bosutinib can be administered at 200 mg/m2 QD. The MTD of the combination treatment determined from part 1, will be administered in part 2 (phase 2). intervention 2: Doses in part 1 include capecitabine 750 mg/m2 BID on days 1-14; capecitabine 625 mg/m2 BID on days 1-14. Depending on safety, capecitabine can also be administered at 1000 mg/m2 BID. The MTD of the combination treatment determined from part 1, will be administered in part 2 (phase 2).
