Filter by:An open-label, multicenter, randomized, Phase 2 trial in which participant with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have been previously treated with anthracycline and taxane therapy receive ramucirumab DP or Icrucumab (IMC-18F1) administered on an every-21-day cycle (in combination with oral capecitabine therapy; capecitabine is administered twice a day on Days 1-14 of each cycle). Approximately 150 participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to either ramucirumab DP or Icrucumab (IMC-18F1) in combination with capecitabine (Arm A and Arm B, respectively) or capecitabine monotherapy (Arm C). Randomization will be stratified by triple-negative receptor status (estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative, and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 [HER2/neu]-negative) (yes/no) and receipt of prior antiangiogenic therapy. Treatment with the study medication(s) will continue until disease progression, the development of unacceptable toxicity, noncompliance or withdrawal of consent by the participant, or investigator decision. Capecitabine dose reductions in the setting of significant myelosuppression, hand-and-foot syndrome, or diarrhea will be required.
The objective of this phase-III trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of sorafenib in combination with capecitabine versus capecitabine in combination with placebo in the treatment of subjects with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer who are resistant to or have failed prior taxane and an anthracycline or for whom further anthracycline therapy is not indicated. After signing consent there can be up to 28 days before starting the treatment during which time a number of tests will be carried out which will include tumor evaluations and medical history. The following tests and evaluations will have to be done within 7 days of the start of treatment,on Day 1 of every cycle and at the end of study: Electrocardiogram, blood tests, patient quality of life questionnaires and a complete physical exam and vital signs. Treatment will be given in 21 day cycles with sorafenib/placebo to be taken every day for 21 days and capecitabine to be taken for the first 14 days. Patients will come in weekly for the first 6 weeks and then on Day1 for every cycle after the first 2 cycles. During the weekly visits the subjects will be check for any side effects and blood draws will happen for the study on Day 1 of each cycle. Subjects will be followed for overall survival.
To access the effectiveness of High-dose Cyclophosphamide Combined Chemotherapy combined with adoptive cellular therapy with dentritic and cytokine-induced killer cells in triple negative metastatic breast cancer patients
This was a multi-center, Israeli phase II open label study evaluating treatment with RAD001 (10 mg daily) combined with letrozole (2.5 mg daily) in postmenopausal women after recurrence or progression on Tamoxifen, Anastrozole or Examestane. There were no treatments specifically approved after recurrence or progression on AIs. Available options, based on common clinical practice and several treatment guidelines (e.g. NCCN treatment guidelines 2008), included fulvestrant. Combining RAD001 with letrazole was a rational approach to the treatment of advanced Brest Cancer, offering the potential for inhibition of tumor cell growth\ proliferation and anti angiogenesis while at the same time potentially preventing the development of letrazole resistance.
MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) regulate the translation of RNAs and are implicated in cell proliferation and renewal both under physiologically normal as well as in malignant conditions. Dysregulation of specific miRNAs may be associated with either gaining oncogenic or loosing tumor suppressing functions. MiRNA dysregulation has been implicated in breast cancer tumorigenic (stem cell) and non-tumorigenic development. Therefore, miRNA profiling of treatment naïve and treatment-exposed breast tumors and sequential samples of blood/serum will allow for identification of miRNA markers of prognosis and as indicators and potential targets for personalized therapies. In this proposal, specimens from patients treated in the clinical breast cancer program on already existing protocols (IRB 05091 and 05015) will be characterized by Dr. Rossi's laboratory and collaborators, and the information gained will be applied to develop specific therapies.
The investigators want to know the role of Peripheral hematopoietic stem cell infusion in avoiding Drug Induced Liver Injury,and also try to research SNPs genotyping associated with Drug Induced Liver Injury.
Breast Cancer is the most common cancer amongst Canadian women. Studies report that breast cancer patients are the most likely to use complementary medicine within the oncologic population. Yoga has become especially popular with this group as it promises to improve the mind, body and soul holistically. The investigators yoga program specifically focuses on rebuilding physical strength, increasing flexibility and reducing the pain and stress associated with the post-operative period. This study will examine how yoga can help improve the overall quality of life and its effects on the physical well-being of women with breast cancer. With positive statistical results, the investigators hope to implement yoga as part of their rehabilitation services at the Cedars Breast Clinic.
This project will develop and preliminarily evaluate an intervention to assist young-middle adult rural breast cancer survivors to overcome functional impairments related to their cancer treatment. Younger breast cancer survivors (below age 60) have ongoing family, social and vocational responsibilities and recreational interests and are at increased risk of developing long-term difficulties performing these valued activities (participation restrictions). Rural cancer survivors are medically underserved and due to distance and geographic isolation face significant barriers to accessing traditional rehabilitation services. Alternative rehabilitation approaches are sorely needed for this population. Based on previous research with cancer and other medical populations a working draft of a treatment manual using a telephone-delivered Behavioral Activation and Problem Solving (BA/PS) intervention has been designed. Prior to testing the intervention in a randomized clinical trial, additional work must be completed. The specific aims of this study are to a. refine the BA/PS treatment manual, b. develop and apply treatment integrity measures for the BA/PS manual, c. assess participation restrictions and associated outcomes, d. preliminarily assess the immediate and maintenance effects of BA/PS, and e. examine mediators and moderators of BA/PS effects based on our "Self Regulation" model of functional recovery. 188 young-middle adult breast cancer survivors will be screened for participation restrictions following cancer treatment and 40 survivors with participation restrictions will receive BA/PS delivered by phone. BA/PS participants will be assessed for treatment effectiveness and interviewed regarding their experiences during treatment to provide information for refining the manual. The long-term objective of this line of research is to develop effective and feasible treatments for the medical and psychosocial consequences of cancer and its treatment in medically underserved cancer survivors (e.g., rural populations).
RATIONALE: Vitamin D may help prevent breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying vitamin D and breast cancer biomarkers in female patients.
The Logribmet study is a prospective study that evaluate grip strength changes in both hands of postmenopausal women with breast cancer receiving treatment with tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor. Patients included in the study will undergo a grip strength measurement and receive a rheumatological questionnaire prior to the start of treatment, then at 3 and 6 months and at year 1 into therapy. Furthermore, BMI will be measured to assess if BMI is a predictor for the decrease in grip strength. IGF-I, GH and IGFBP-3 serum levels will also be measured at all time points.
