Filter by:This randomized phase II trial studies how well brief behavioral therapy works in improving sleep disorders in patients with stage I-III breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Sleep disorder counseling may reduce fatigue and insomnia as well as improve the well-being and quality of life in patients with breast cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy.
This is a phase I study to evaluate the safety and define the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of orally administered reparixin in combination with paclitaxel in HER 2 (Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) negative metastatic breast cancer patients. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and define the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of orally administered reparixin in combination with paclitaxel in HER-2 negative MBC patients. The secondary objectives were to: 1. Evaluate the effects of orally administered reparixin on cancer stem cell (CSC) markers, the tumoral microenvironment and markers of cytokine inflammation; 2. Evaluate peripheral blood samples for enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), molecular characterization as CSCs and perform epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarker profiling; 3. Assess disease response for indication of efficacy.
Achievement of pathologic complete response is important prognosticator to predict long term outcome in triple negative cancer. The efficacy of adding 4 cycles of cisplatin (CDDP4) is to be investigated whether addtional pathologic complete response is achieved for those triple negative breast cancer patients who recieved 4 cycles of adriamycin with cyclophosphamide(AC4) but did not reach clinical complete response during the course of neoadjuvant therapy.
Various regimens and schedule as neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens were investigated and sequential treatment of anthracyclines followed by taxanes, which has shown superior pathologic complete respone (pCR) rate (NSABP-B27 study) is widely used until now. Considering the proven efficacy and tolerable toxicity of 3 cycles of FEC followed by 3 cycles of Docetaxel (FEC3-D3) compared to FEC 6 cycles in adjuvant chemotherapy (PACS 01 trial), use of FEC3-D3 regimen in neoadjuvant setting will be feasible with acceptable efficacy and further reduce the duration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
This is a study to determine the safety and effectiveness of BKM120 plus capecitabine in breast cancer patients with brain metastases. Both capecitabine and BMK120 have previously shown activity in patients with breast cancer. Like capecitabine, BMK120 is also effective in crossing the blood brain barrier making it a preferred candidate for its evaluation in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
This open label, randomised, controlled, multi-centre phase III study will assess the efficacy and safety of single agent olaparib vs standard of care based on physician's choice of capecitabine, vinorelbine or eribulin in metastatic breast cancer patients with gBRCA 1/2 mutations.
This is a phase II study that combines Trastuzumab with Pertuzumab to see how it works in women age greater than 60 who have been diagnosed with HER2/neu overexpressed locally advanced and/or metastatic breast carcinoma.
A phase II non randomized study evaluating the role of Androgen Receptors as Targets for therapy of pre-treated postmenopausal patients with ER/PgR-negative/AR-positive or ER and/or PgR-positive/AR-positive metastatic breast cancer. Study Design: Multicentric, Open-label not randomized trial. Description of Study Treatment: Daily oral administration of DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) at the dosage of 100 mg/die in combination with a daily oral administration of anastrozole at dosage of 1 mg/die or letrozole at the dosage of 2.5 mg/die or exemestane at the dosage of 25 mg/die without interruption until discontinuation for progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity or discontinuation/withdrawal of participants from study treatment. Number of Subjects: 12 patients per group in the first step; if the number of responders is greater or equal to 2, recruitment will continue up to a total of 35 patients (per group). For the biological part, we will evaluate: 1. Correlation between AR expression and clinical and biological features (tumor size, nodal status, histotype, grading, proliferative index, ER, PgR, HER2) 2. Evaluation of AR expression on primitive and/or metastatic site in the two distinct populations of patients: ER/PgR- negative/ARpositive and ER-positive and/or PgR-positive/AR-positive 3. Evaluation of ER, PgR, HER2 expression on tumor cells of metastatic site (when it is possible) and comparison with the same features of primitive tumor. 4. CTCs analysis in term of molecular characteristics (gene expression and mutations) and functionality (vitality and tumorigenicity). 5. Prognostic and predictive role of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) evaluated at baseline before study treatment and at the moment of discontinuation of treatment.
This is a prospective, single arm phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fulvestrant as a maintenance hormone therapy after first-line chemotherapy for postmenopausal HR positive advanced breast cancer.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of adding Herceptin to a paclitaxel-containing regimen followed by cyclophosphamide/methotrexate/fluorouracil (CMF) chemotherapy in women with locally advanced breast cancer and HER2/c-erbB-2 gene amplification. In a parallel observational study patients with HER2-negative disease will receive the same chemotherapy without Herceptin.
