Filter by:The overall goal of this study is to determine how FDG-PET, breast MRI and breast ultrasound can be incorporated into the assessment of treatment responses in women with LABC undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A prospective cohort study will be conducted evaluating the ability of FDG-PET, breast MRI and breast ultrasound to detect the presence of residual tumour in patients with LABC who have completed treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to mastectomy.
This is a Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety profile, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics following daily oral doses of 50 to 200 mg of BMS-754807 in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin®) in subjects with advanced or metastatic Her-2-positive breast cancer. In addition, the study is expected to identify the recommended dose or dose range of BMS-754807 in combination with trastuzumab for Phase II studies and provide preliminary evidence of anti-tumor activity in Her-2-positive breast cancer subjects after trastuzumab failure
This randomized phase III trial studies the side effects and how well different chemotherapy regimens with or without bevacizumab work in treating patients with stage IIIC or stage IV breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation (nab-paclitaxel), and ixabepilone, 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. Bevacizumab may block tumor growth by targeting certain cells and slowing the growth of blood vessels to the tumor. It is not yet known which treatment regimen is more effective in treating patients with breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to follow safety and quality of life outcomes on patients switching from tamoxifen therapy to aromatase inhibitor therapy.
5-10% of breast cancer patients carry a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. Genetic counseling and DNA testing are usually offered to selected patients after primary treatment has been completed (e.g. the first year after diagnosis). For women with a mutation in one of the two breast-ovarian cancer syndrome genes, chances of a second breast cancer are high, and therefore a proportion of these women may opt for preventive measures in addition to their immediate breast cancer treatment. Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy significantly reduces this risk, and is associated with a reduction in mortality. Genetic counseling and testing for breast cancer typically takes approximately 4-6 months to complete. However, some hospitals and laboratories are now able to generate test results within 3 to 6 weeks. This technology of rapid genetic testing creates new opportunities for providing both women and their treating surgeons with information potentially relevant for deciding between available treatment options, including type of surgery and adjuvant therapy. The study will focus on newly diagnosed breast cancer patients who, prior to receiving treatment, are identified as having at least a 10% risk of carrying a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. We will investigate whether women with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer make use of rapid genetic counseling when offered. Furthermore, we will investigate whether the process of genetic counseling (and subsequent DNA testing) has influence on the choice of treatment, and whether and how such rapid genetic counseling and testing (RGCT) affects levels of risk perception, cancer-related worries and distress, and decisional satisfaction.
The purpose of this research study is to see if Near-Infrared Tomographic Optical Breast Imaging (TOBI) scans can help monitor breast tumor response during treatment for breast cancer. The images created by the TOBI scan show changes in blood blow and oxygen levels in breast tissue.
Women with metastatic breast cancer are usually treated with anthracyclines (ie, doxorubicin or epirubicin) but cardiac toxicity limits their use. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Caelyx in combination with cyclophosphamide in women with metastatic breast cancer who have received adjuvant anthracyclines with or without a taxane.
This is a study of an experimental drug (neratinib) versus a combination of drugs (lapatinib and capecitabine) in women who have erbB-2 (HER-2) positive metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer. The goal of this study is to compare the two regimens in shrinking tumors and extending the lives of women with erbB2 (HER2) positive breast cancer. The study will also compare the safety of the two regimens and to compare quality of life of patients taking the two regimens.
The purpose of the study is to assess the benefit of oral panobinostat monotherapy given to women with HER2-negative locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
This is a multi-center randomized phase III trial. The purpose is to evaluate and compare the pathological complete response (pCR) rates after neoadjuvant chemotherapy with tailored chemotherapeutic regimens or standard chemotherapy for stage II/III breast cancer with tumor size more than 2 cm.
