Filter by:This is a study of dose dense doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (AC) followed by paclitaxel (Taxol; T) with pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) and darbepoetin alfa support in the adjuvant breast cancer setting.
Many breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy complain of problems with concentration and memory. This has been referred to as chemo fog. The current study is investigating this phenomenon by measuring mental function of breast cancer patients prior to and after exposure to chemotherapy, and by comparing mental function in those patients who receive chemotherapy and those who do not.
To compare the anti-tumour effects as measured by changes in various biomarkers, of a combination of Faslodex and Arimidex with Faslodex alone and Arimidex alone in postmenopausal women patients with primary breast cancer who are awaiting curative-intent surgery.
Eligible patients must receive Caelyx plus Cyclophosphamide plus Herceptin for 6 cycles that will be administered every 4 weeks.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. OGX-011 may help docetaxel kill more tumor cells by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving OGX-011 together with docetaxel works in treating women with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with trastuzumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic breast canceror breast cancer that has recurred in the chest wall. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vorinostat and trastuzumab also may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving vorinostat together with trastuzumab may be a better way to block tumor growth.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of anastrozole monotherapy versus maximal oestrogen blockade with combinated therapy of fulvestrant and anastrozole compared with in treatment of hormone receptor positive women with first relapse of breast cancer.
The rationale of this randomized phase II study is to investigate the feasibility of sequenced densified FEC and docetaxel based regimens in patients with primary operable high-risk breast cancer. Several phase III and phase II clinical trials showed the benefits of dose-dense therapy (Q2W) over conventional treatment in breast cancer, lymphoma and SCLC. The aim of the study is also to demonstrate that further shortening of treatment interval from 14 days to 10-11 days in FEC regimen is feasible and will not compromise patient's safety. The results of this randomized phase II study should serve as a basis for follow-up randomized phase III trial comparing conventional versus densified sequential FEC and docetaxel based regimens.
We proposed to use 4 cycles of AC q 2 weeks, as used in the dose dense adjuvant study with GM-CSF support on days 3-9 of the cycle. After the completion of AC we plan to administer paclitaxel and carboplatin weekly for a total of 12 doses with one week rest after every 3 weeks of treatment over 12 weeks. Patients who are her-2 over-expressors by FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) will also receive Trastuzumab with weekly carboplatin and paclitaxel as the combination TC±H has been found to be synergistic in advanced breast cancer with improved clinical outcome.
RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying two different schedules of everolimus to see how well they work in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
