Filter by:The trial will determine the value of adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy plus trastuzumab in patients with resected node-positive or high risk node-negative, HER2-positive breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving sorafenib together with paclitaxel may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving sorafenib together with paclitaxel and to how well it works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of an investigational Dendritic Cell/Tumor Fusion vaccine given with IL-12 for patients with breast cancer. RATIONALE: Vaccines made from a person's tumor cells and white blood cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Interleukin-12 may stimulate the white blood cells to kill tumor cells. Giving vaccine therapy together with interleukin-12 may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of interleukin-12 when given together with vaccine therapy and to see how well they work in treating women with stage IV breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Sunitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and methotrexate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving sunitinib together with combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sunitinib when given together with cyclophosphamide and methotrexate to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using letrozole may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving letrozole together with erlotinib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II clinical trial is studying how well giving letrozole together with erlotinib works in treating postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive and/or progesterone receptor-positive locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
This study investigates whether adding the optical imaging to magnetic resonance imaging can improve the diagnostic specificity of breast cancer.
This is a Phase II, open-label, non-randomized study in patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Each cycle will be 4 weeks in length. Patients will receive Abraxane weekly for 3 weeks. Patients will not receive Abraxane during week 4 (rest week). Nexavar will be given continuously. Patients will be radiologically evaluated every 8 weeks for response. Patients will continue to receive study treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cisplatin when given with radiation therapy prior to surgery is effective in improving response to treatment in breast cancer patients. Tumor, blood and bone marrow samples will be collected in this study and will also help researchers determine if cisplatin is able to change tumor DNA so it cannot multiply itself and create more tumor cells, and cause the tumor cells to die.
RATIONALE: Deferasirox may be effective in treating iron overload caused by blood transfusions in patients who have undergone donor stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well deferasirox works in treating patients with iron overload after donor stem cell transplant.
This post-approval study is designed to determine the performance of the FDA-approved GeneSearch™ BLN Assay when compared to the site's standard of care permanent section histological evaluation, and when compared to more extensive histological evaluation when the assay is being used by clinicians to make surgical decisions on complete axillary dissections (ALND).
