Filter by:RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer. Letrozole may be effective in preventing the development or recurrence of breast cancer in postmenopausal women who are at increased risk of developing breast cancer because of elevated estradiol levels. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well letrozole works in preventing breast cancer in postmenopausal women with elevated estradiol levels.
This phase II study will evaluate and compare the efficacy and tolerability of two dose schedules (1500 mg QD and 500 mg BID) of oral Lapatinib as treatment for patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to find how breast cancer responds to the investigational drug, Ispinesib. An investigational drug is a drug that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is available for research use only. In particular, this study will try is to find the answers to the following research questions: 1. Does breast cancer respond to Ispinesib? 2. What are the side effects of Ispinesib? 3. How much Ispinesib is in the blood at specific times after it is taken?
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate AMG 162 in the treatment of bone loss in subjects undergoing Aromatase Inhibitor Therapy for Non-metastatic Breast Cancer.
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of Taxotere + Xeloda, versus Taxotere alone, following a regimen of Adriamycin plus Cytoxan in women with high-risk breast cancer. Following 4 cycles of Adriamycin and Cytoxan, patients will be randomized to receive either 1)Taxotere 75mg/m2 iv on day 1 and Xeloda 825mg/m2 po bid on days 1-14 of each 3 week cycle or 2) Taxotere 100mg/m2 iv alone on day 1 of each 3 week cycle. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of alvespimycin hydrochloride in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as alvespimycin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures that detect tumor cells in the bone marrow may help doctors predict disease recurrence and plan more effective treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well diagnostic procedures work in detecting tumor cells in the bone marrow of patients who have undergone surgery for stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as bevacizumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Combining chemotherapy with monoclonal antibody therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel and capecitabine together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if the investigational drug is able to reduce/shrink advanced breast cancer tumors in patients who no longer benefit from anthracyclines, taxanes and capecitabine.
RATIONALE: Gabapentin may be effective in relieving hot flashes in women who have had breast cancer or who have concerns about taking hormone therapy to treat hot flashes. It is not yet known whether gabapentin is more effective with or without antidepressants in treating hot flashes. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying gabapentin and antidepressants to see how well they work compared to antidepressants alone in treating hot flashes in women who have had breast cancer or who have concerns about taking hormones to treat hot flashes.
