Brief summary
Primary objective: To determine the brain response rate of Lipo-Dox in breast cancer patients with brain metastasis Secondary objectives: 1. To determine the overall objective response rate (ORR) 2. To determine the progression free survival, and duration of objective response 3. To evaluate the overall survival (OS) 4. To assess the safety profiles
Detailed description
This is an open-label, non-comparative phase II clinical trial. Approximately thirty-three patients will be enrolled in order to obtain twenty-nine evaluable subjects who received two cycles of study treatment in Simon's 2-stage optimal design. Duration of subject involvement: Study treatment should be administered up to disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or consent withdrawal. Recruitment period: 10 months
