Filter by:The study drug cabozantinib works by inhibiting several different proteins which are believed to be involved in breast cancer tumor growth, its ability to spread, and its ability to form new blood vessels. This drug has been used in other research studies and information from those other research studies suggests that this drug may help to prevent cancer growth. The single agent portion of this study is now closed to accrual. This research study is now examining the efficacy of cabozantinib in combination with fulvestrant for treatment of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer that has spread to bone.
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of afatinib alone or in combination with vinorelbine, as treatment in patients with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer, who have progressive brain lesions after trastuzumab and/or lapatinib based therapy
Women who are obese at breast cancer diagnosis have a 1.5 to 2.5 increased risk of recurrence and death compared to their normal weight counterparts. Moreover, weight gain and decreased physical activity are common after diagnosis and also increase the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence and death. Rural women suffer from health disparities in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Women of the most rural counties also have the highest prevalence of obesity compared to urban women. To address these disparities, the overarching objective of this proposal is to develop a clinically effective and cost efficient strategy for delivering a weight control intervention to rural breast cancer survivors. Group phone-based treatment via conference call is a novel treatment delivery approach that the investigators have shown to be effective for initial weight loss among rural breast cancer survivors and more effective than the standard individual phone-based approach among rural women. This innovative method of providing group treatment addresses access barriers in rural areas and may be especially ideal for rural breast cancer survivors because it provides social support in conjunction with a level of anonymity. However, the impact of group phone counseling during extended care for weight loss maintenance beyond 6 months remains unknown. Weight loss maintenance is the more challenging phase of treatment when weight regain is common, and this regain presents a potential risk for breast cancer recurrence. This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effects of group phone-based treatment for weight loss maintenance among rural breast cancer survivors, compared to an established mail-based education comparison condition, subsequent to a 6 month group phone-based weight loss phase for both conditions. In addition to the intervention impact on weight loss maintenance, the study will provide estimates of incremental cost-effectiveness per kg loss between the two conditions and the impact on secondary outcomes including quality of life, breast cancer risk biomarkers, dietary intake, and physical activity.
This is a prospective, non-randomized study which aims to evaluate the response to a neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to the the antitumor immune response in localized breast cancer. 40 patients will be enrolled in the study. They will receive chemotherapy : 3 or 4 anthracycline cycles or 3 or 4 FEC-100 cycles followed by 3 or 4 taxane cycles. Trastuzumab will be added to taxane for HER2+/Neu+ patients. Then, patients will be operated and receive an adjuvant treatment which will both depend on the investigator's appreciation. Blood sample will be collected on the first day of the first chemotherapy cycle, on the first day of the third cycle, on surgery, 6 months after the surgery and in case of relapse. Tumor sample will be collected on diagnosis as much as possible and on surgery. Patients will be followed during 5 years.

RATIONALE: Magnesium oxide may help relieve hot flashes symptoms in women with a history of breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial studies how well a high-dose or a low-dose of magnesium oxide works compared to placebo in treating menopausal women with hot flashes and a history of breast cancer.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, single-arm, feasibility study evaluating eribulin in combination with capecitabine as an adjuvant chemotherapy regimen in approximately 65 subjects with early-stage (I-II), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)- normal, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer.
The HER2 gene (also known as HER2/neu and ErbB2 gene) is overexpressed in 20-30% of human breast cancers and leads to a particularly aggressive form of the disease. Trastuzumab,a humanized anti-HER2/neu receptor monoclonal antibody, has been proved a valuable treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer patients.The combination of trastuzumab with chemotherapy has been shown to increase both survival and response rate, in comparison to trastuzumab alone. CMAB302, a biosimilar of trastuzumab, was developed by Shanghai CP Guojian Pharmaceutical Co.Ltd. Efficacy and safety of CMAB302 as a single agent or in combination with vinorelbine were evaluated in patients with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer.
The aim of this pilot-study is to examine the accuracy of gadofosveset enhanced MRI compared to current nodal staging methods. The accuracy of MRL will be determined on the basis of a node-to-node matching of imaged nodes to the definitive histopathology. The pathologic examination of the SNLB or ALND will be regarded as the golden standard for nodal involvement.
This is a multicenter, international, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase II trial. Participants with advanced breast cancer (ABC) or Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) who have experienced recurrence or progression of their disease while receiving aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy or who have relapsed within 6 months after completing adjuvant AI therapy will be enrolled in Part I of this study. Participants with ABC or MBC who have received prior AI therapy and who have PIK3CA-mutant tumors will be enrolled in Part II of this study. Part I of the study will assess the effect of the addition of GDC-0941 to fulvestrant (Arm A) and of GDC-0980 to fulvestrant (Arm B) on progression free survival (PFS) compared with fulvestrant + placebo (Arm C). Part II of the study will examine the safety and tolerability and to estimate the effect of GDC-0941 in combination with fulvestrant (Arm D) on PFS versus fulvestrant + placebo (Arm E) in participants who received prior treatment with an AI and whose tumors contain a PIK3CA mutation.
