Filter by:The objective of this study was to assess efficacy and safety of radium-223 dichloride in subjects with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2 negative) hormone receptor positive breast cancer with bone metastases treated with hormonal treatment background therapy
The objective of this study is to apply Whole-body DW imaging alongside the routine management of patients requiring systemic therapy for metastatic breast cancer to compare the time to progression of individual liver metastases within and between patients following stable disease or partial response to palliative systemic therapy for breast cancer.
maximum tolerated dose (MTD), safety, pharmacokinetics, efficacy of bivatuzumab mertansine
Metastatic pleural effusion is a common complication of late-stage cancer and reduces the quality of life and survival of patients. The survival of patients with recurrent pleurisy by uncontrolled local or systemic treatment is less than 6 months. It is important to develop specific therapies to improve the quality of life and survival of patients with metastatic pleurisy. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal anti vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which has proven effective in many indications in oncology. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic factor which increases endothelial permeability. It plays a central role in many tumors of epithelial origin. In this context, it is legitimate to ask whether an antiangiogenic targeting VEGF may be effective in patients with metastatic pleurisy by decreasing local blood supply and over-permeability. No study has been interested in the intra-pleural pharmacokinetics of monoclonal antibodies and there are no predictive or prognostic biomarkers for metastatic pleural effusions. The investigators believe that intrapleural administration of bevacizumab will reduce the pleural vasculature permeability. It will neutralize VEGF present in pleural fluid and reduce the replenishment of effusion due to its prolonged half-life of 21 days. The investigators therefore propose a phase I study to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended dose for phases II, studying the pharmacokinetics of intrapleural bevacizumab administered by an implantable device after evacuating a symptomatic metastatic pleurisy as part of a mammary carcinoma. The VEGF intrapleural levels and serum will be study and the time until a new puncture. Dyspnea will be evaluated as well as its impact on quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to find out if the pathological complete response (pCR) to chemotherapy given before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) could be predicted by the evaluation of the RNA (ribonucleic acids) disruption pattern (RNA Disruption Assay or RDA score) obtained from a biopsy of the tumor 7 - 14 days after the first, second and third cycles of chemotherapy treatment. If we can determine the optimal time during neoadjuvant chemotherapy to measure the RDA score for the prediction of pCR, we can optimize breast cancer management.
The purpose of this study is to see whether adding everolimus to hormone treatment before breast surgery will increase the chances of shrinking the breast cancer in those patients with hormone-responsive breast cancer and a lower Oncotype DX® Recurrence Score ( 25 or less), compared to prior experience with hormone therapy alone. Everolimus is a drug currently approved for use by the United States Food and Drug administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic kidney or breast cancer. Everolimus is considered investigational for non-metastatic breast cancer patients.
This randomized phase 2 study will seek to determine the effectiveness of chemotherapy (physician's choice of vinorelbine, taxane [paclitaxel, docetaxel or nab paclitaxel] or capecitabine) plus trastuzumab vs chemotherapy (physician's choice) plus trastuzumab plus pertuzumab in women with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast (MBC) that has been previously treated with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in the metastatic setting.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of consuming "R" on quality of life in the areas of insomnia, fatigue, and depression in female breast cancer patients receiving multi-cycle adjuvant chemotherapy.
This study is an open label, randomized, multicenter trial of MM-302 plus trastuzumab. The trial is designed to demonstrate whether MM-302 plus trastuzumab is more effective than the chemotherapy of physician's choice (CPC) plus trastuzumab in locally advanced/metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer patients. Patients may not have been previously treated with an anthracycline in any setting. Patients must have received prior treatment with trastuzumab in any setting, have either progressed or are intolerant to ado-trastuzumab emtansine in the metastatic or locally advanced setting, have either progressed or are intolerant to pertuzumab in the metastatic or locally advanced setting or had disease recurrence within 12 months of pertuzumab treatment in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting.
This was a multicenter, open-label, Phase II study in subjects with Human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer who received at least 2 prior lines of anti-HER2-targeted therapies of which at least one included a Trastuzumab-containing regimen. This study was a post-approval commitment with regulatory authorities. It was designed to evaluate whether treatment with Dual blockade promoted changes to biomarkers associated with immunomodulation.
