Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether cessation of hormone replacement therapy for one or two months before a screening mammogram will improve its performance by decreasing breast density.
The purpose of this study is to provide dose-finding information regarding the efficacy and kinetics of peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) mobilisation by pegfilgrastim and to determine if carboplatin/paclitaxel can be delivered at a reduced cycle interval when supported by pegfilgrastim-mobilised PBPCs in whole blood.
This research trial studies quality of life, employment, and informal care cost analysis in patients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. This trial assesses how quality of life has been affected by cancer, if cancer and its treatment have caused in changes in the patient's or their spouse's employment and how they have affected the patient and their extended family, and the impact of peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy on quality of life. Learning about quality of life and informal care costs may help doctors better understand how patients feel during treatment, what effects the medicines are having, and in the future may help both patients and doctors as they decide which medicines to use to treat cancer.
The purpose of this study is to provide data on the safety and efficacy of pegfilgrastim when administered on the same day versus the next day of chemotherapy, as measured by the duration of grade 4 neutropenia.
This study compares two chemotherapy regimens as adjuvant treatment for breast cancer. The study participants are randomly allocated to receive either 3 cycles of docetaxel followed by 3 cycles of CEF (cyclophosphamide, epirubicin and 5-fluorouracil) or to receive 3 cycles of docetaxel plus capecitabine followed by 3 cycles of CEX (cyclophosphamide, epirubicin and capecitabine). The study participants are required to to have a medium to high risk for breast cancer recurrence. The primary aim of the study is to investigate whether addition of capecitabine to a standard taxane/anthracycline regimen will influence recurrence-free survival.
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using letrozole may prevent breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. Zoledronate may prevent bone loss caused by letrozole. Giving letrozole together with zoledronate may prevent breast cancer and reduce bone loss. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying letrozole and zoledronate to see how well they work compared to letrozole and placebo or placebo alone in treating healthy postmenopausal women with high breast density.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ABI-007(Nab-Paclitaxel((Nanoparticle Albumin Bound)-Paclitaxel)) and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving ABI-007 together with gemcitabine works in treating women with metastatic breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Alemtuzumab, tacrolimus, and methylprednisolone may be an effective treatment for graft-versus-host disease caused by a donor stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving alemtuzumab together with tacrolimus and methylprednisolone works in treating acute graft-versus-host disease in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant.
RATIONALE: Imaging procedures such as PET scans may improve the ability to monitor the effectiveness of chemotherapy for locally advanced breast cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well PET scans work in patients with locally advanced breast cancer who will undergo chemotherapy.
This is a Phase II, multicenter trial of single-agent treatment with OSI 774 in patients with histologically confirmed, incurable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Patients must have measurable disease.
