Filter by:Erlotinib attacks a part of cancer cells that helps them live and grow. Studies done in human beings show that this drug can make a difference in the way anti-estrogens work in hormone-sensitive breast cancers. OSI-906 attacks a different part of the cancer cell that helps them live and grow. Studies done in the laboratory show that OSI-906 can make a difference in the way anti-estrogens work in hormone-sensitive breast cancers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether - Paclitaxel and bevacizumab showed improved PFS compared to paclitaxel alone. Recent results of the AVADO study report a similar result for the combination of docetaxel and bevacizumab. The AVADO study furthermore confirmed the dose of 15 mg/kg BW of bevacizumab. - As in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) poly-chemotherapies are frequently used, regimens with bevacizumab and at least 2 cytotoxic agents should be investigated. - Docetaxel and capecitabine showed a benefit in PFS and survival. This combi- nation is therefore a reasonable choice. - Dose of capecitabine and docetaxel should be reduced to 1800 mg/m2 and 75 mg/m2 to improve tolerability without compromising efficacy. - Paclitaxel and capecitabine is well tolerated and showed a PFS of 10.3 months. - Docetaxel 100 mg/m2 as monotherapy in MBC not very often used b/o toxicity. 75 mg/m2 much more accepted in daily practice. Better comparability with DBX, if both arms have 75mg/m2 docetaxel as assumed.
This study will determine the highest dose of KW-2450 in combination with lapatinib and letrozole that can be administered safely to subjects with advanced or metastatic breast cancer and to evaluate its effectiveness. This study was terminated in Phase 1 and never proceeded to the Phase 2 portion of the study.
Patients are being asked to take part in this study because they have metastatic breast cancer that is triple negative (does not express estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) or HER2). This means that agents such as trastuzumab (Herceptin®) and tamoxifen are not currently treatment options for their cancer. Another option for treating the patient's cancer at this point is with chemotherapy. The patient should discuss this and other options with their doctor prior to entering this study. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that ER is actually present in some triple negative breast cancers but is "silenced" (does not function properly) because methyl and histone groups are attached to it and inactivate it. Special drugs called demethylating inhibitors (such as decitabine) and histone deacetylase inhibitors (such as LBH589) can remove these methyl and histone groups and reactivate ER. This reactivated ER can then be targeted with agents like tamoxifen. The patient is being asked to join this clinical research study to find out if ER can be reactivated in their cancer using decitabine in combination with LBH589. If ER is reactivated in their cancer, we will then determine if tamoxifen can decrease the growth of the cancer.
The purpose of this study is to identify new treatment regimens with better response rates and to find out if the combination of cisplatin and sorafenib followed by paclitaxel and sorafenib can shrink the size of your breast tumor and allow you to preserve your breast. Sorafenib is a newer drug that targets blood vessel formation and may help the chemotherapy work better. Additionally, by receiving chemotherapy before surgery, we will be able to determine if your cancer is responsive to chemotherapy.
This research study is designed to look at the effects of the combination of vorinostat (Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid or Zolinza) and tamoxifen on breast cancer tissue. The investigators will do this by comparing tissues from the original breast biopsy to tissues obtained after taking vorinostat and tamoxifen for 2 weeks.
After treatment for Hodgkin disease, secondary cancer, in particular breast cancer induced by treatment, are the first cause of death. The investigators will estimate the risk to develop breast cancer in this population of women treated for hodgkin disease, and will propose women at high rish to participate in an intensive screening program based on an annual detection based on mammography, echography, and RMI.
This single arm observational study will assess the duration and safety of treatment with trastuzumab in routine clinical practice in participants with early or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Data will be collected from female participants treated with trastuzumab according to the Summary of Product Characteristics and local protocols. Duration of observation for each participant is from therapy initiation until permanent discontinuation for any cause.
The purpose of this research study is to see what effects trastuzumab in combination with vinorelbine has on breast cancer when the participant has circulating tumor cells that are positive for the protein called HER2. Trastuzumab is an FDA approved drug that targets HER2. The drug combination of trastuzumab and vinorelbine is an effective treatment for patients with breast cancers that are positive for HER2. This trial seeks to determine if the combination can also benefit participants whose original breast cancer was HER2 negative but whose circulating tumor cells are HER2 positive.
The purpose of this study is to provide the physicians with quality long term follow up data on subjects from the Breast Cancer Clinic and the Plastic Surgery Clinic who have been newly diagnosed with breast cancer and will receive treatment for the cancer at this facility. Over the last two decades many studies have been done concerning the quality of life after a mastectomy and/or reconstruction process. The majority of these studies only run for one year post reconstruction, some however, do include a two year follow up. The investigators are proposing a 5 year long term follow up study on subjects who will be diagnosed and treated here at the Breast Cancer Clinic and the Plastic Surgery Clinic. The investigators first questionnaire will be given prior to any treatment for breast cancer, giving us a baseline for the subject's current quality of life. At each successive year, the subject will be given another questionnaire with regards to their progression through the reconstructive process. At the end of 5 years, the subject will complete a final questionnaire. These questionnaires will deal with many areas of daily life functions; activities of daily living, anxiety, depression, social interactions, personal and sexual relationships.
