Filter by:RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving a chemotherapy drug before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well neoadjuvant docetaxel works in treating women who are undergoing surgery for breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining vinorelbine with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to determine the effectiveness of combining vinorelbine with celecoxib in treating women who have relapsed or metastatic breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as fludarabine and melphalan, before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of tumor cells. It also stops the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. The donated stem cells may replace the patient's immune system and help destroy any remaining tumor cells (graft-versus-tumor effect). Giving an infusion of the donor's T cells (donor lymphocyte infusion) after the transplant may help increase this effect. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can also make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving antithymocyte globulin, cyclosporine, and methotrexate before or after the transplant may stop this from happening. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well antithymocyte globulin, high-dose melphalan, fludarabine, and allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplant work in treating patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the breast.
RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast tumor cells. Suppression of ovarian function combined with hormone therapy may fight breast cancer by reducing the production of estrogen. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether suppression of ovarian function and hormone therapy are more effective with or without chemotherapy in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well giving ovarian-function suppression together with hormone therapy and chemotherapy works compared to ovarian-function suppression and hormone therapy alone in treating premenopausal women with resected breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug, and giving them after surgery, may kill any remaining tumor cells following surgery. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective than observation in treating relapsed nonmetastatic breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with that of observation in treating women who have undergone surgery for relapsed nonmetastatic breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known if capecitabine is more effective than vinorelbine in treating metastatic breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II/III trial to compare the effectiveness of capecitabine with that of vinorelbine in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer that has been previously treated with chemotherapy.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Mistletoe may slow the growth of tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for solid tumors. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining gemcitabine with mistletoe in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.
RATIONALE: Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth and by stopping blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known which regimen of celecoxib is more effective in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of two regimens of celecoxib in treating women who have metastatic or recurrent breast cancer
RATIONALE: Eating a diet rich in soy foods may slow the progression of some types of cancer. Isoflavones are compounds found in soy food that may slow the growth of breast cancer cells and prevent further development of breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized pilot trial to study the effectiveness of isoflavones in preventing further development of breast cancer in women who are planning to undergo mastectomy or lumpectomy.
This clinical trial will assess whether BMS-275291 can be administered safely in combination with standard adjuvant therapy for early breast cancer and whether plasma concentrations at trough exceed a target minimum.
