Filter by:This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of continuation or discontinuation of Herceptin treatment in combination with 2nd line chemotherapy, in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer whose condition has progressed on 1st line chemotherapy plus Herceptin. Patients will be randomized either to continue or discontinue Herceptin treatment (6mg/kg iv infusion every 3 weeks) while receiving second-line chemotherapy of the investigator's choice. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
This study will examine the efficacy and safety of lapatinib and bevacizumab in patients with ErbB2-overexpressing breast cancer.
Dose Finding and Efficacy Evaluation of DOXIL (Doxorubicin HCL Liposome Injection) in Combination with Abraxane (Abraxane) in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) [Phase I and II]
This randomized controlled trial examines the efficacy of hands-on-healing for fatigue and immune function in breast cancer survivors. Participants may be randomized to one of three groups: hands-on-healing, touch alone, or a control group.
RATIONALE: Steroid therapy, such as mometasone furoate, may prevent radiation dermatitis caused by radiation therapy. It is not yet known whether mometasone furoate is more effective than a placebo in preventing radiation dermatitis. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying mometasone furoate to see how well it works compared to a placebo in preventing radiation dermatitis in patients undergoing radiation therapy to the breast or chest wall for invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as lymphoscintigraphy using an injection under the nipple or near the tumor, may help doctors find out how far the disease has spread. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying two different injection methods to compare how well they find the sentinel lymph node during lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with invasive breast cancer.
To investigate and compare the efficacy and safety of S-1 vs. Capecitabine as primary chemotherapy in patients with inoperable or recurrent breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Zoledronate may reduce bone loss in patients receiving letrozole for breast cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well zoledronate works in treating osteopenia or osteoporosis in postmenopausal women receiving letrozole for stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA primary breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel, 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 trastuzumab, 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 tumor-killing substances to them. Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving combination chemotherapy together with trastuzumab and lapatinib after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well giving doxorubicin together with cyclophosphamide followed by trastuzumab, paclitaxel, and lapatinib works in treating patients with early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer that has been removed by surgery.
The treatment received with sunitinib plus capecitabine could delay tumor growth longer than with treatment with capecitabine alone.
