Brief Title: Exemestane and Cyclophosphamide for Metastatic Breast Cancer
Official Title: Phase II Trial of Exemestane With Immunomodulatory Cyclophosphamide in ER and/or PR-positive and HER2/Neu Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer
Study ID: NCT01963481
Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well exemestane and cyclophosphamide work in treating patients with estrogen receptor (ER) -positive, progesterone receptor (PR) -positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2-negative stage IV breast cancer.
Detailed Description: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using exemestane may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Low dose cyclophosphamide may also stimulate the white blood cells, including natural killer cells, for instance by decreasing the suppressor (regulatory) T-cells. Giving exemestane with cyclophosphamide may be an effective treatment for estrogen receptor-positive, progesterone receptor-positive, and HER2-negative stage IV breast cancer.
