Brief Summary

Primary objective is to determine the effectiveness of the combination of bortezomib and doxorubicin in patients with metastatic breast cancer. The trial format is a single arm Phase II design wherein patients are treated with bortezomib IV on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 and with doxorubicin IV on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle.

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Response Rate [Every two cycles/42 days, up to 7 months]

      Determine the clinical efficacy of bortezomib and doxorubicin in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Overall response rate is defined as both complete and partial response per RECIST, where complete response is the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10mm. Partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Progressive disease is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Time to Progression [Up to one year]

      Number of days to progression, where progression is defined as the number of days from the day of first study drug administration to the day the patient experiences an event of disease progression, or the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. If a patient has not experienced an event of disease progression, then the patient's data will be censored at the date of the last available evaluation. Progression-free survival will be summarized by medium time to progression.
