Filter by:This phase I trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of veliparib when given together with capecitabine and oxaliplatin in treating patients with advanced solid tumors. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving veliparib together with capecitabine and oxaliplatin may kill more tumor cells.
This is a tumor and serum collection study for patients with advanced breast cancer receiving treatment with lonafarnib.
This trial will assess the intratumoural pharmacological activity of BN83495 by changes in intratumoural levels of sex hormones and associated inhibition of steroid sulphatase (STS) activity.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate oral doses of BMS-754807 in combination with letrozole or BMS-754807 alone are safe and efficacious in locally advanced or metastatic hormone receptor positive breast cancer subjects who have progressed with prior non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor treatment.
The purpose of this study is to develop Positron Emission Tomography (PET) - Computed Tomography (CT) PET/CT imaging methods for looking at the effects of chemotherapy in breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Endoscopic breast surgery (EBS) is a less invasive type of surgery for breast cancer and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies endoscopic breast surgery in treating patients with breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity and clinical activity of a new WT1 anti-cancer immunotherapy in patients with WT1-positive Stage II or III breast cancer. The treatment will be given before surgery in combination with standard therapy.
This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of RO4929097 (gamma-secretase/Notch signalling pathway inhibitor RO4929097) when given together with whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery and to see how well it works compared to whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery alone in treating patients with breast cancer or other cancers (such as lung cancer or melanoma) that have spread to the brain. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Whole-brain radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays deliver radiation to the entire brain to treat tumors that can and cannot be seen. Stereotactic radiosurgery may be able to deliver x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known whether giving RO4929097 together with whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery may kill more tumor cells.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of RO4929097 when given together with letrozole in treating post-menopausal women with stage II or stage III breast cancer. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using letrozole may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Giving RO4929097 together with letrozole may be an effective treatment for breast cancer.
Taxanes (such as paclitaxel) are highly active to treat breast cancer. Abraxane® (nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel) compared to standard paclitaxel improves efficacy and tolerability. When combined with a taxane, platinum agents improve response in metastatic breast cancer, with carboplatin conferring less toxicity than cisplatin. The investigators hypothesize that the combination of weekly Abraxane® and carboplatin will lengthen time to progression without producing intolerable toxicity.
