Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of ixabepilone plus capecitabine or docetaxel plus capecitabine on shrinking or slowing the growth of metastatic breast cancer in women. The safety of this combination therapy will also be evaluated.
Postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive and negative Her2 tumours. Before randomization, the patients will be stratified according to the center, positive nodes (0 vs. 1-3 vs. ≥4), previous chemotherapy (yes vs no) and hormonal receptors status.
The purpose of this survey is to describe long-term tolerance as seen under current conditions of use for anastrozole.
This neoadjuvant chemotherapy protocol focusing on "triple-negative" breast cancers alone will gather a foundation of primary tumor and axillary lymph nodal response to primary chemotherapy and ongoing correlated disease-free (DFS) and overall survival (OS) outcome data. This comparative data can then be used in building subsequent trials.
This trial provides a unique opportunity in that it combines genomic, proteomic and pharmacogenomic assessments in patients receiving chemotherapy for advanced breast cancer. To date no other trials have analyzed gene and protein expression at the same time points in the same patient, combined with clinical outcome. Similar to previous attempts to predict response based on expression of a single gene or protein, we expect that neither genomic or proteomic profiling alone will be sufficient to optimize therapy. Rather, we expect an iterative process that combines information gleaned from both platforms, modified to avoid toxicity based on pharmacogenomics.
The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy and safety of paclitaxel, bevacizumab and enzastaurin versus paclitaxel, bevacizumab, and placebo in participants who are diagnosed with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
This is an open labeled phase II single arm trial. The patients with clinical stage II and III will undergo core-needle biopsy of breast tumor for histologic diagnosis, immunohistochemical studies for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor(PR), HER-2/neu and others. PET or ultrasound results will determine the positivity of lymph node metastasis.
To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) of ABI-008 giver every 3 weeks; to characterize the toxicities of ABI-008; and to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters for ABI-008 when given on an every-3-week schedule to patients with metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical response rate to sorafenib when added to existing endocrine therapy in patients with advanced breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal doxorubicin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving them before surgery may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving liposomal doxorubicin together with docetaxel before surgery and to see how well it works in treating women with locally advanced breast cancer that can be removed by surgery.
