Filter by:Many breast cancer survivors report chronic pain that develops or worsens following chemotherapy. The impact of chemotherapy on the development of chronic pain is uncertain. In this proposal, we are studying the impact of chemotherapy on a patient's sensitivity to pain. We are also investigating whether a patient's sensitivity to pain is related to how many symptoms she experiences during treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended dose (RD) and to assess the safety and tolerability of tucatinib (ONT-380) combined with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with HER2+ breast cancer.
This research trial studies heavy metal exposure in predicting peripheral neuropathy in patients with stage I-III breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Studying samples of blood and urine in the laboratory for heavy metal exposure from patients receiving chemotherapy may help doctors find out whether side effects from chemotherapy are related to heavy metal exposure.
This is a phase II study randomizing patients with stage I with T1 > 1.5 cm, stage II or III triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) to preoperative cisplatin versus paclitaxel. The study is designed to evaluate the ability of the Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) assay to predict pathologic response to preoperative chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of combining metformin and atorvastatin treatment in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer during the interval between breast biopsy and surgery. This study is designed to assess whether tumor proliferation, as measured by the natural log expression of Ki-67 staining of breast tumor cells, is reduced following approximately 2 weeks of treatment with the combination of metformin plus atorvastatin in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer.
The overall rationale of this study evaluating tolerance and efficacy of LY2780301 in combination with paclitaxel in HER2-negative, inoperable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is based on : - the medical need in this population with either hormonal-resistant or unsensitive and/or rapidly progressive disease - the preclinical evidences for involvement of PI3K/AKT pathway in tumor progression and drug resistance, including taxanes as well as its potential reversion by AKT inhibition - the high level of frequency of PI3K/AKT activation in HER2-negative MBC - the in vitro and in vivo preclinical activity of LY2780301, and its synergistic combination with various anticancer agents, including taxanes - the favourable profile of tolerance of LY2780301 in phase I trial Weekly paclitaxel is conventionally administered at 80 mg/m²/week and is a standard treatment in breast cancer (BC) As described above, LY2780301 500 mg once daily has been established as the RP2D in phase I single agent trial. Evidence of pharmacodynamic activity was noted at 400-500 mg QD. Conservatively, the first dose level to be explored will be LY2780301 400 mg QD and paclitaxel 70 mg/m²/week.
Investigators propose to assess,the safety and tolerability profile (number of participants with adverse events)of bevacizumab (Avastin) when combined with standard chemotherapy as first line treatment of patients with metastatic Breast Cancer.
In order to evaluate the late outcome in patients curatively treated for breast cancer, a special outpatient clinic will be developed. There are two main purposes of the outpatient clinic. The first purpose is evaluating the results of the radiation treatment by mapping A) late toxicity and B) tumour control and survival. The second purpose is that this outpatient clinic for late outcome will also function as a pilot for a new CAT (Computer Assisted Theragnostics, abbreviated CAT project) in which multiple late outcome variables will be recorded. In this pilot we want to investigate whether physical presence of the patient on the outpatient clinic, allowing physical examination, has any added value to the questionnaires filled in by the patient at home. The ultimate aim of this new CAT project is to use these multicentric data to develop models for predicting both oncological outcome and late side effects. Insight in the beneficial and adverse effects of a certain treatment using these predictive models, will be required choose the optimal treatment for the individual patient using a shared decision making process.
The investigators will determine which factors are predictive for the development and severity of everolimus-induced interstitial lung disease and will develop a prediction model based on these risk factors.
Standard of care: Treatment with Trastuzumab Experimental: 21-Day Cycle of Combination therapy with T-DM1 intravenously on Day 1 and oral PD-0332991 on Days 5-18 Study Design and Methodology: This is a phase 1B inter-patient dose escalation study of PD-0332991 in combination with T-DM1 in patients with recurrent or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer after prior trastuzumab or other HER2-directed therapies. The subjects will be administered T-DM1 by intravenous infusion at 3.6 mg/kg for 90 minutes on day 1 of each 21 day cycle. Infusion timing may vary from 30-90 minutes depending on how well the subject tolerates the treatment. A standard 3+3 trial design will be used for PD-0332991 dose escalation cohorts.The dosing of PD-0332991 will be divided into 3 cohorts, the subjects will receive PD-0332991 on days 5-18 of each 21 day cycle. Cohort 1 : PD-0332991 - 100 mg daily (oral) Cohort 2 : PD-0332991 - 150 mg daily (oral) Cohort 3 : PD-0332991 - 200 mg daily (oral) The 3+3 design entails that if one patient out of the first three patients has a DLT, up to three additional patients will be entered at that dose level Treatment cycles will continue until disease progression or withdrawal from study.
