Filter by:To evaluate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of sunitinib plus Capecitabine in Japanese patients with advanced/metastatic breast cancer.
The aim of the study is to establish a feasible combination of bendamustine and paclitaxel in a weekly schedule. The two agents have different toxicity profiles and are well tolerated when given in a weekly fashion. The combination might be of special interest for elderly patients with hormone insensitive breast cancer
This 3 arm study will compare the prophylactic effect of topical corticosteroids, Bepantol or placebo on hand-foot syndrome in patients receiving Xeloda for treatment of metastatic breast cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer or adjuvant treatment of colorectal cancer. Patients who have been receiving oral Xeloda for at least 5 days will be randomized to receive prophylactic treatment with either placebo, topical corticosteroids or Bepantol. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or development of hand-foot syndrome, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
Characterize the demographic and clinical features, as well as the main treatment results, among patients with advanced breast cancer treated with fulvestrant in Brazil.
The purpose of this study is to conduct a 12-month randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of strength training exercise to stretching and relaxation exercise (control) on body composition (bone, muscle and fat mass), energy balance, bone turnover, and physical function (strength, power, gait, balance and self-report physical function and symptoms) in women who experienced premature menopause from chemotherapy for breast cancer.
The goal of this clinical research study is to use the On Board Imager kilovoltage (OBI KV) system and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning or CT-on-rail system to look at how well a routine device called an electronic portal imaging device (EPID) can set up a patient to receive radiation therapy on the lymph nodes in the neck.
The combination of paclitaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide is a standard neoadjuvant (given before surgery) treatment for patients that have either inoperable or operable breast cancer. This treatment can help shrink the tumors so they can be removed to help prevent the cancer from spreading to other parts of the body. This study is being done to test the impact of adding sunitinib as a single-agent (Segment 1), followed by sunitinib plus paclitaxel (Segment 2), followed by doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (Segment 3). We hope the addition of sunitinib will make the treatment more effective, but we don't know if this is true.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), and tissue proteomics, may help doctors find and diagnose breast cancer and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying MRI and MRS with or without tissue proteomics analysis to see how well they work in evaluating healthy women and women who are undergoing surgery for breast cancer.
This study will assess whether levels of vitamin D impact the characteristics of a woman's breast cancer at diagnosis, and whether a short course of vitamin D in women with low levels of vitamin D changes the gene expression of their breast cancers.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of breast cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving carboplatin and paclitaxel together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving carboplatin and paclitaxel together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
