Filter by:To investigate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics when R435 and paclitaxel are administered concomitantly to patients with metastatic breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Certain psychological and social factors may increase the risk of developing chronic pain after surgery. Evaluating these factors over time in patients who have undergone surgery for breast cancer may help doctors plan treatment and improve patients' quality of life. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the psychological and social factors that may increase the risk of developing chronic pain after surgery in women with breast cancer .
The main purpose is to learn if adding bevacizumab to standard chemotherapy and trastuzumab to treat HER2-positive breast cancer will affect heart function. This study will evaluate: - How bevacizumab, given with chemotherapy, and then bevacizumab given with trastuzumab after surgery, will affect breast tumors - Side effects from adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy and trastuzumab - Whether adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy and trastuzumab for breast cancer will affect the heart - If receiving bevacizumab will have any effect on how patients recover from surgery
The study is designed as a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in pre- and postmenopausal women who will undergo surgery for breast cancer. Subjects will either receive estetrol or placebo during a 2 week treatment period. Several biological markers, such as a cellular growth marker and cell death markers, will be assessed in the tumor tissue and surrounding normal tissue before and after the treatment period. During the 2 week interval between diagnosis of breast cancer and surgical resection, no therapy for breast cancer is usually administered.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether overall response to cetuximab combined with cisplatin is better than overall response to cisplatin alone together with showing that the overall response for cetuximab and cisplatin was above a pre-specified threshold of 0.2 in the treatment of "triple negative" metastatic breast cancer. The secondary objective of this study is to compare the differences between the two treatment groups using the following criteria : Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Time, Overall Survival (OS), Time to Response (TTR) and Safety.
The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the effect of the addition of a 2 year, centrally delivered individualized, telephone-based lifestyle intervention focusing on weight management to a mailed educational intervention on Disease Free Survival in post-menopausal women with early stage breast cancer (hormone receptor positive), BMI ≥24-<40 kg/m2, who are receiving standard letrozole adjuvant therapy.
This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GW572016 in patients with refractory breast cancer and consists of two cohorts of patients. Patients in Cohort A must have ErbB2 overexpressing tumors while patients in Cohort B must have non-ErbB2 overexpressing tumors. Patients eligible for this study must have advanced metastatic breast cancer who have previously received treatment with anthracycline and taxane.
RATIONALE: Screening may help doctors find breast cancer cells early and plan better treatment for breast cancer. The Mammography FastTrack program may be effective in increasing the number of patients who undergo mammography. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying the use of a Mammography FastTrack program to increase the number of women who undergo mammography.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), may help in learning how well chemotherapy works to kill breast cancer cells and allow doctors to plan better treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epirubicin and docetaxel, may stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying MRI in evaluating early response to chemotherapy in women receiving chemotherapy for infiltrating breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Measuring how advertising affects treatment compliance in women with breast cancer may help doctors plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how advertisements affect treatment compliance in women with breast cancer.
