Filter by:This study will be an open-label prospective observational trial designed to test associations between polymorphisms of candidate genes and tamoxifen. Pre- and post-menopausal women taking tamoxifen as standard therapy or chemopreventive therapy will be included in this study.
This single arm study will evaluate alterations in molecular marker expression in HER2-positive targeted therapy, and will evaluate the effect of continued treatment with Herceptin and Xeloda beyond progression following initial Herceptin-taxane chemotherapy. Patients who develop progressive disease will receive first-line Herceptin (8mg/kg iv loading dose and 6mg/kg iv every 3 weeks) + taxane therapy. patients who develop progressive disease within 9 weeks of treatment will continue treatment with Herceptin in combination with Xeloda (1000mg/m2 po bid on days 1-14 of each 3-week cycle).Biopsies of tumor tissue will be taken for biomarker and gene profiling evaluation. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, intolerable side effects or patient choice, and the target sample size is 100 individuals.
10-year CHD risk evaluation and its treatment pattern analysis in postmenopausal early breast cancer patients taking aromatase inhibitors.
There are different types of hormonal therapy medicines for the treatment of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine the evolution of two types of hormonal treatment (the drug called "tamoxifen" and a group of medicines called "aromatase inhibitors") during two time periods of 12 months each, in years 2006 and 2008, in the northeast Italian regions. The study will include post-menopausal women who have initiated hormonal therapy medicines in 2006. The study will also verify the rate of implementation of the updated national and international recommendations for the use of adjuvant hormonal therapy in the hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer.
This is a multi center international observational study of subjects receiving myelotoxic regimens, with an investigator assessed risk of Febrile Neutropenia (FN) ≥ 20%, for the treatment of solid tumors (breast, ovarian and lung). Approximately 100-150 sites will contribute information on 10-15 subjects treated at their institution.
This 2 part study will explore the pharmacodynamic effects of R1507 in breast cancer tumor cells in female patients with operable breast cancer. In the first part of the study, patients will receive a single dose of R1507, 16mg/kg iv, on day 1; pre-and post-treatment (at breast surgery on day 8) breast tissue samples will be obtained for measurement of IGF-1R expression. If sufficient biological activity is demonstrated, 3 additional cohorts of patients will be entered into Part 2 of the study, to receive a single dose of 9mg, 3mg/kg or 1mg/kg iv R1507, respectively. The anticipated time on study treatment is < 3 months, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
The purpose of this national, multi-site study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the Contura catheter in breast cancer patients undergoing accelerated partial breast irradiation.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a Contura catheter can avoid a radiation "hot spot" in the skin and improve tissue-balloon conformance in early-stage breast cancer patients undergoing accelerated partial breast irradiation.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying surgery to remove the sentinel lymph node and axillary lymph nodes after chemotherapy in treating women with stage II, stage IIIA, or stage IIIB breast cancer.
The goal of this psychosocial research study is to learn about treating pain and other symptoms of minority patients who have breast cancer. The study will test how well a special telephone system works for improving the pain and symptom management of these patients.
