Filter by:This is a molecular testing study for patients with metastatic breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to find defects in the DNA of the cancer that could potentially be treated with US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)approved or investigational drugs. For example, if your cancer has a mutation in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene (a mutation is a change int he DNA sequence of a gene) that makes this receptor "superactive" a drug that inhibits this receptor may also inhibit the growth of the cancer. If this genetic defect is not present in the cancer the same drug may not work. This EGFR gene mutation based patient selection for treatment has worked in lung cancer and we are testing its value in breast cancer. What drugs may be available against particular genetic abnormalities in the context of this clinical study will change over time.
This study will examine whether or not providing early stage breast cancer survivors with tips on making exercise more enjoyable promotes greater levels of moderate to strenuous exercise.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well docosahexaenoic acid works in preventing recurrence in breast cancer survivors. Docosahexaenoic acid supplement may prevent recurrence in breast cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of exclusive intraoperative radiation therapy after conserving surgery in early-stage breast cancer compared with whole breast radiotherapy. The primary outcome was the rate of ipsilateral true recurrence ( any recurrence at or close to primary tumor bed) and new ipsilateral tumors ( any recurrence occurring in quadrants other than the previous one) and the recurrence free survival.
This study is being conducted in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer that will be undergoing chemotherapy prior to surgery - neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The study involves treatment with standard chemotherapy and a commonly used, FDA-approved, blood pressure drug called propranolol (Inderal). The purposes of this study are to: 1. Determine the effect of propranolol plus chemotherapy on breast cancer cells as well as the growth of blood vessels surrounding breast cancer cells. 2. Determine the side effect profile of propranolol and chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This research is being done because previous laboratory work has shown that propranolol may decrease the ability for the blood vessels around breast cancer cells to grow, which may be important in helping cancer cells grow. It also may reduce the likelihood for breast cancer cells to spread. If changes are seen in the breast cancer cells and surrounding blood vessels in this study, we will pan to evaluate whether propranolol decreases the likelihood of breast cancer from recurring in future, later studies. All chemotherapy regimens used in this study have been the standard of care for many years; however, the use of propranolol is being researched along with the chemotherapy regimens.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of viral therapy in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck that has returned (come back) after a period of improvement or has spread to other parts of the body or breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. A virus called encoding thyroidal sodium iodide symporter, which has been changed in a certain way, may be able to kill tumor cells without damaging normal cells.
This study aims to recruit post-treatment breast cancer survivors for a 12-week 2-arm randomized walking intervention. All intervention materials will be delivered electronically. The investigators hypothesize that at the end of 12-weeks, participants randomized to the intervention group will engage in more weekly steps than those participants randomized to the comparison group.
Prospective non randomized, non-comparative, dose escalation, two arms open phase I trial to assess the safety and tolerability of capecitabine given in combination with aflibercept in patients with measurable or evaluable, chemorefractory digestive tumors or breast tumors in terms of the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs), To establish the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) of capecitabine in combination with Aflibercept.
The purpose of this study is to estimate antitumour activity of abiraterone acetate in Patients with a Molecular Apocrine HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic Breast Cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal biological dose (OBD) of Irosustat (BN83495) in postmenopausal women with oestrogen receptor (ER) positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with disease progression after prior hormonal therapy. This study is designed to provide necessary information on safety and dose response of BN83495, when given by repeated once daily oral administration, while achieving a maximal STS inhibition and a maximal reduction in plasma oestradiol (E2) and adiol levels. The data obtained will be used to plan further clinical studies.
