Brief Summary:

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining BMS-247550 with capecitabine in treating patients who have metastatic breast cancer that has not responded to previous chemotherapy with a taxane and an anthracycline.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Breast Cancer	Drug: capecitabine; Drug: ixabepilone	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

• Determine the maximum tolerated dose of BMS-247550 and capecitabine, on 2 different schedules, in patients with metastatic breast cancer previously treated with a taxane and an anthracycline.
• Determine the safety profile of this regimen in these patients.
• Determine, preliminarily, any antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 groups.

• Group I: Patients receive BMS-247550 IV over 3 hours on day 1 and oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14.
• Group II: Patients receive BMS-247550 IV over 1 hour on days 1-3 and capecitabine as in group I.

Treatment in both groups repeats every 3 weeks for 2-18 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 6 patients receive escalating doses of BMS-247550 and capecitabine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined for each group. The MTD is defined as the dose at which no more than 1 of 6 patients experiences dose-limiting toxicity. Additional patients are treated at the MTD.

Patients are followed for at least 30 days and then every 3 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 34-60 patients will be accrued for this study within 8-12 months.
