Study Summary

RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Naltrexone may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Naltrexone may also stop the growth of breast cancer by impairing blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well naltrexone works in treating women with metastatic breast cancer that is no longer responsive to previous hormone therapy.

Primary Outcome

A response is the number of participants whose tumor demonstrated a decrease in FDG uptake (SUV) by 50% or greater in at least one of the metastatic sites as measured by PET imaging at the end of 4 weeks of treatment compared to baseline.

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE PET scan
  • DRUG naltrexone
