A Pilot Study of the Combination of Entinostat With Capecitabine in High Risk Breast Cancer After Neo-adjuvant Therapy

In metastatic breast cancer patients, entinostat will be taken orally starting at 3 mg per week and will increase to 5 mg per week in the absence of unacceptable side effects. The safe dose (when combined with capecitabine) will be confirmed in additional metastatic breast cancer patients and breast cancer patients with residual invasive disease following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery.

In metastatic breast cancer patients, capecitabine will be taken by mouth starting at 800 mg/m2 twice a day for 14 days per cycle and increase to 1000 mg/m2 (for 14 days per cycle) in the absence of unacceptable side effects. The safe dose (when combined with capecitabine) will be confirmed in additional metastatic breast cancer patients and breast cancer patients with residual invasive disease following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery.
