Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, docetaxel,, paclitaxel, and ixabepilone work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Paricalcitol may help chemotherapy drugs to kill more tumor cells by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drugs. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the best dose and best way to give paricalcitol and to see how well it works when given together with chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.

Primary Outcome

To test the clinical/logistical feasibility of using a titrated dose of the vitamin D analog (paracalcitol or Zemplar) in combination with a taxane or ixabepilone primarily by measuring the proportion of patients who successfully complete 8 continuous weeks of therapy as well as the proportion of patients who achieve a 'steady-state' dose
