Summary

Extended phase 1 trial of combined metformin and erlotinib in advanced triple negative breast cancer patients.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Metformin

Due to frequent GI upset in patients starting metformin the dose will be titrated up to the assigned dose level. The first metformin dose level will be 850 mg twice daily and be escalated to its maximum FDA approved dose of 850 mg three times daily. Dose escalation will follow the standard 3 + 3 design. Dose limiting toxicities will be determined during the first 5 weeks of therapy.

DRUG

Erlotinib

Erlotinib dosing will start and remain at 150 mg daily.
