Filter by:This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized (1:1 randomization ratio) study of either exemestane or exemestane plus celecoxib in postmenopausal women with ABC having progressed on tamoxifen.
The primary objective of the phase I study is to determine a safe dose for combination therapy with capecitabine and exisulind. A secondary objective is to assess pharmacokinetic interactions between the two drugs and assess the biological activity of exisulind. The primary objective of the Phase II part of this study is to assess the anti-tumor activity of this combination therapy measured by objective tumor response. Secondary end points also assessed will be toxicity of therapy, duration of response and time to progression.
RATIONALE: Telephone counseling by a nutritionist and a personal trainer may improve physical function and quality of life in patients who have early-stage breast cancer or prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of a home-based, diet and exercise-based counseling program with that of a standard home-based counseling program in promoting health in patients who have early-stage breast cancer or prostate cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining chemotherapy with trastuzumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining combination chemotherapy with trastuzumab in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Motexafin gadolinium may increase the effectiveness of doxorubicin by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining motexafin gadolinium with doxorubicin in treating patients who have recurrent or metastatic cancer.
To compare the effects of exemestane for 5 years versus tamoxifen and exemestane given sequentially over 5 years in the adjuvant treatment of postmenopausal women with early breast cancer. This Pfizer sponsored trial is part of an international collaboration of investigators conducting 7 similar yet independent studies in 9 countries. This study is designed to be part of the larger TEAM trial where the data from these 7 studies will be combined. A pre-specified analysis of the pooled data will be conducted.
Chemotherapy can often cause anemia in patients with cancer. Anemia is a low number of red blood cells. The symptoms of anemia may include fatigue, dizziness, headache, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Erythropoietin is a hormone made by the kidneys that signals the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells. Recombinant human erythropoietin has been produced in the laboratory and has the same effect as the hormone produced by the body. Use of recombinant human erythropoietin allows the body to produce more red blood cells, possibly eliminating or decreasing your symptoms and the need for a red blood cell transfusion. Recombinant human erythropoietin is FDA approved to treat anemia in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. This clinical study is investigating the effectiveness of darbepoetin alfa for the treatment of anemia in patients with non-myeloid malignancies who are receiving chemotherapy every three weeks. Darbepoetin alfa is a recombinant erythropoietic protein that stimulates the production of red blood cells. This medication has not been approved to treat cancer patients with anemia, however it has been approved by the FDA to treat chronic renal failure patients with anemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of TLK286 in treatment of metastatic breast cancer.
Physicians are conducting a clinical trial for patients with advanced breast cancer. Breast cancer can be treated with chemotherapy which can affect the bone marrow, where blood cells are produced. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cells that fight infection and are produced in the bone marrow. If the neutrophil count becomes low due to chemotherapy, a potentially serious condition called neutropenia occurs. Neutropenia is serious because it can affect the body's ability to protect against many types of infections. Pegfilgrastim is an investigational drug being evaluated for its potential ability to increase the number of neutrophils. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of pegfilgrastim in preventing neutropenia following chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer.
This study will examine whether the investigational drug EPO906, given by intravenous infusion (IV directly into the vein), is effective in shrinking tumors and preventing the growth of cells that cause breast cancer.
