Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether concomitant radiotherapy and trastuzumab (patients treated for early breast cancer) is really safe for the heart even years after treatment and if the investigators should use these two treatments concomitantly without additional harm.
This study will evaluate whether the addition of daily BKM120 to weekly paclitaxel is effective and safe in treating patients with HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
OBJETIVE: To study the influence of musicotherapy in reduction of fatigue related to cancer in patients with breast's or gynecology's cancer, during the radiotherapy treatment.
The study will be a multi-center, prospective, randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase II trial of Herceptin + NeuVax(TM) vaccine (E75 peptide/granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor) (GM-CSF) versus Herceptin + GM-CSF alone. The target study population is node-positive (NP) (or node-negative [NN] if negative for both ER and PR) breast cancer patients with HER2 1+ and 2+ expressing tumors who are disease-free after standard of care therapy. Disease-free subjects after standard of care multi-modality therapy will be screened and HLA-typed. E75 is a CD8-eliciting peptide vaccine that was restricted to HLA-A2+ or HLA-A3+ patients (approximately two-thirds of the US population), and has been extended to HLA-A24+ and HLA-A26+ as well.
The Ohio Patient Navigator Research Program (OPNRP) proposes to alleviate disparities in relation to the timely diagnosis and treatment of breast, cervical and colorectal cancer in Columbus, OH.
Objective: To determine the accuracy of multi-functional magnetic resonance (MR) in detecting, localising and characterising satellite lesions in relation to an index breast tumour in order to improve definition of clinical target volume after local excision. Hypothesis: Pre-operative multi-functional MR has high sensitivity and specificity for localising unsuspected multifocal and multicentric lesions in women diagnosed with early breast cancer.
Multicenter, open label, non-randomized phase 2 trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel in the neoadjuvant treatment of ER positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative patients amenable to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
This two-cohort, open-label, multicenter, phase II study will assess the safety and efficacy of pertuzumab given in combination with Herceptin (trastuzumab) and vinorelbine in first line in patients with metastatic or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. Patients will receive pertuzumab 840 mg and Herceptin 8 mg/kg administered sequentially as separate iv infusions on Days 1 and 2, respectively, of Cycle 1. From Cycle 2 onwards, patients will receive pertuzumab 420 mg and Herceptin 6 mg/kg, administered either sequentially as separate iv infusions on Day 1 and Day 1 or 2, respectively (Cohort 1) or together in one infusion bag on Day 1 (Cohort 2) every 3 weeks. Vinorelbine will be administered at 25 mg/m2 iv on Days 2 and 9 of Cycle 1, and at 30-35 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 8 (or Days 2 and 9) of each following 3-week cycle. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs, or withdrawal of consent or death.
RATIONALE: Imaging procedures, such as diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), may help in evaluating how well patients with breast cancer respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This research trial studies DWI and DCE-MRI in assessing treatment response in patients with breast cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and DNA in the laboratory from patients who received chemotherapy with or without trastuzumab may help doctors learn more about the effects of trastuzumab on cells. It may also help doctors understand how well patients respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This research trial studies blood and DNA samples from patients with breast cancer treated with chemotherapy with or without trastuzumab.
