Filter by:Bevacizumab is an angiogenesis inhibitor which means it works to stop blood vessel formation in tumors. Without new blood vessels, the growth of a tumor is slowed. Chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells more directly. This study will evaluate: - How bevacizumab, given with chemotherapy before surgery, and then bevacizumab given alone after surgery, will affect locally advanced breast tumors - Side effects from adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy - Whether adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy for breast cancer will affect the heart - If receiving bevacizumab will have any effect on how patients recover from surgery - Side effects of the combinations of drugs used in this study
This is a phase IIb, randomized, parallel-group, noncomparative, multicenter, pilot study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bevacizumab with or without (+/-) trastuzumab administered with three different docetaxel-based combination regimens for the adjuvant treatment of participants with node positive or high-risk node negative breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Giving low doses of chemotherapy and radiation therapy before a donor umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells when they do not exactly match the patient's blood. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining cancer cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving antithymocyte globulin before transplant and cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of giving combination chemotherapy together with total-body irradiation before donor umbilical cord blood transplant and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced hematologic cancer, metastatic breast cancer, or kidney cancer.
RATIONALE: Zoledronate, vitamin D and calcium may prevent or delay bone pain and other symptoms caused by bone metastases. It is not yet known whether giving zoledronate together with vitamin D and calcium is more effective with or without strontium 89 or samarium 153 in treating patients with bone metastases from prostate cancer, lung cancer, or breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying zoledronate, vitamin D, and calcium to see how well they work compared to zoledronate, vitamin D, calcium, and either strontium 89 or samarium 153 in preventing or delaying bone problems in patients with bone metastases from prostate cancer, lung cancer, or breast cancer.
Pilot, phase II, parallel-group, open-label, noncomparative, prospective, multicenter study designed to evaluate the progression-free survival of docetaxel and bevacizumab ± trastuzumab for the first-line treatment of participants with metastatic breast cancer. Participants were stratified according to human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) status at the time of enrollment. HER2 negative participants were assigned to receive docetaxel and bevacizumab (DB). HER2 positive participants were assigned to receive docetaxel, bevacizumab, and trastuzumab (DBT). All participants (except one) were off study treatment on 30 June 2011. All efficacy analysis and safety analysis was performed using the cut-off date of June 2011. One participant continued treatment till 11 March 2012. For this participant, adverse events were collected upto 19 April 2012 and included in the safety analysis.
RATIONALE: Citalopram may help relieve hot flashes in women who had or have not had breast cancer. It is not yet known which dose of citalopram is more effective in treating hot flashes in postmenopausal women. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying three different doses of citalopram to compare how well they work in treating postmenopausal women with hot flashes.
RATIONALE: Studying the immune response to a vaccine made from HER2/neu protein may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with breast cancer that overexpresses HER2. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the immune response in patients who have undergone vaccine therapy for stage III or stage IV breast cancer that overexpresses HER2.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as PET scans, may help in learning how well hormone therapy and trastuzumab work to kill breast cancer cells and allow doctors to plan better treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well PET scans work in assessing response to treatment in patients receiving hormone therapy or trastuzumab for breast cancer.
Purpose of the SHAPE study is to examine the effects of an 1-year exercise programme on endogenous hormone levels associated with breast cancer among sedentary postmenopausal women and whether a decrease in intra-abdominal fat is associated with a lowering of these hormone levels.
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety profile and the secondary objective to estimate clinical benefit of ZD1839 (gefitinib).
