Clinical Trial for Women with BRCA 1/2 Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer
Mutations of human tumor suppressor genes BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 have been linked to breast cancer. Currently, the FDA-approved chemotherapy drugs, Temozolomide (Temodar®), carboplatin and paclitaxel, have been widely used as a first treatment for advanced or metastatic (spread to/from other areas) cancer. The effect of these drugs may be improved with the addition of an experimental drug called Veliparib, which can prevent the cancer cells from repairing themselves and resume growing after chemotherapy treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients with the BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 mutation and metastatic breast cancer do better with or without veliparib in combination to chemotherapy treatment.
