Filter by:This phase I clinical trial studies the side effects of vaccine therapy and cyclophosphamide in treating patients with stage II-III breast cancer or stage II-IV ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving vaccine therapy and cyclophosphamide may kill more tumor cells.
The propose for this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of desmopressin when administered perioperatively to patients with breast cancer undergoing surgery as first treatment, and select the optimum dose for the clinical development of the product.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of the triplet of ridaforolimus, dalotuzumab and exemestane compared to the combination of ridaforolimus and exemestane in post-menopausal participants with breast cancer. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the triplet of ridaforolimus, dalotuzumab and exemestane will improve progression free survival (PFS) compared to ridaforolimus and exemestane.
Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are used to try to stop breast cancer from forming or returning after treatment in women who are in menopause and who had breast cancer that was sensitive to the hormone estrogen. The goal of this study is to learn if it is possible to prevent some AI side effects, particularly problems with vaginal dryness and pain during sexual activity. Researchers also want to compare 2 new vaginal moisturizers to see if using them regularly helps women avoid vaginal dryness. Researchers want to see if preventing these side effects will decrease the number of women who stop taking AIs due to the side effects they cause.
This is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation, phase I study to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or a lower Recommended Dose for Expansion (RDE) of LJM716 in combination with trastuzumab in patients with Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2) overexpressing Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) or gastric cancer (MGC). The study consists of a dose escalation part and a dose expansion part. LJM716 will be administered intravenously once weekly unless a less frequent dosing regimen such as every 2 weeks or once every 4 weeks is introduced. Patients will continue on their trastuzumab dosing, administered intravenously once weekly at 2mg/kg. During dose escalation, a minimum of 15 patients are anticipated to be treated in successive cohorts. The dose escalation will continue until the MTD/RDE is declared. The RDE dose selected will either be the MTD or a dose below the MTD based on safety and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) considerations. Following the MTD/RDE declaration, approximately 20 MBC and 20 MGC patients will be enrolled in separate arms in the dose expansion part and treated at the MTD/RDE to further assess the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of the combination.
The goal of the study is to investigate the use of bio-impedance spectroscopy in the assessment of breast cancer related lymphoedema in patients operated with lumpectomy or mastectomy, axillary lymph node dissection and radiotherapy compared to inverse water volumetry. As a control group, patients with colon rectal cancer are used to compare volumetric and spectometric changes during follow-up.
RATIONALE: Duloxetine hydrochloride may lessen muscle, bone, and joint pain caused by hormone therapy. It is not yet known whether duloxetine hydrochloride is more effective than a placebo in treating patients with muscle, bone, and joint pain caused by hormone therapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial studies how well duloxetine hydrochloride works compared to a placebo in treating muscle, bone, and joint pain in patients with early-stage breast cancer receiving hormone therapy.
This primary purpose of this study is to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended dose for expansion (RDE) and preferred dosing schedule of LJM716 given by IV infusion in adult patients with squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck, or esophagus, or HER2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer or gastric cancer
Chemotherapy and HER2 targeted agents can improve survival significantly in metastatic breast cancer. Chemotherapy however is associated with significant side-effects and can impact on Quality of Life and functionality in older patients. The investigators aim to establish HER2 targeted regimens with minimal toxicity in order to delay or even avoid the use of classical chemotherapy because of competing risks of death in this frail/elderly patient group.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of enzalutamide alone and in combination with anastrozole, or exemestane, or fulvestrant in patients with incurable breast cancer.
