Conditions
Brief summary
This study is to evaluate the safety of SU011248 in combination with paclitaxel in patients with metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer who have not received chemotherapy treatment in the advanced disease setting.
Interventions
SU011248 provided as capsules. The starting dose is 25 mg orally, daily in a continuous regimen beginning on day 2. Dose rest for 1 week is allowed. Dose escalation to 37.5 mg po OD is allowed within the constraints of acceptable toxicity parameters. Dosing will continue for 1 year or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, whichever comes first.
