Filter by:This is a multicenter, Phase II, randomized, controlled, open label trial designed to provide a preliminary assessment of the safety and efficacy of sunitinib when combined with bevacizumab and paclitaxel in patients who have not previously received chemotherapy for locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
DOXORUBICIN is recognized as one of the most active drugs for breast cancer, but its clinical utility is limited because of a cumulative dose-dependent cardiac myopathy that can lead to potentially fatal congestive heart failure. Caelyx (pegylated liposomal doxorubicin) was designed to reduce the cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin while preserving its antitumor efficacy
Primary Objective: - To determine the effectiveness of goserelin acetate (Zoladex) in preserving ovarian function in premenopausal women undergoing neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant chemotherapy for primary invasive breast cancer by documenting persistence or resumption of regular menses. Secondary Objectives: - To determine the incidence of pregnancy and the effect for participants' quality of life (QOL) after chemotherapy. - To determine the overall survival and disease-free survival times of study participants.
The purpose of the study is to determine what factors affect a patient's decision to accept delayed Herceptin® treatment after completing their surgery and/or chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Women with invasive breast cancer that have a HER-2 positive (FISH +) determination in 2004 or thereafter and who have completed surgery and primary treatment earlier will be potentially eligible. Patients will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their breast cancer and reasons why they may or may not accept Herceptin® treatment. Patients will be given the option to (1) receive Herceptin® for 52 weeks and have annual doctor visits for 5 years or (2) not to receive Herceptin® but agree to annual doctor visits for 5 years.
To assess progression-free survival at the combination dose determined in the Phase 1 portion of the study, and safety of sunitinib combined with exemestane in patients with metastatic or locally-recurrent, unresectable breast cancer.
Study Objective : To assess the efficacy and the safety of the combination of Oxaliplatin, and Vinorelbine with or without Trastuzumab as a salvage regimen in patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer
Aberrant DNA methylation and histone deacetylation participate in cancer development and progression, as epigenetic alterations are common to breast cancer, in this phase II study, the demethylating hydralazine plus the HDAC inhibitor magnesium valproate will be added to neoadjuvant doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide in locally advanced breast cancer to assess their safety and biological efficacy.
RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Naltrexone may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Naltrexone may also stop the growth of breast cancer by impairing blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well naltrexone works in treating women with metastatic breast cancer that is no longer responsive to previous hormone therapy.
This is an open phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the non pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (Myocet®), trastuzumab (Herceptin®), and docetaxel (Taxotere®) combination as first-line treatment of patients with metastatic HER2/neu positive breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before a donor natural killer (NK) cell infusion helps stop the growth of tumor cells. It also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's cells. Giving NK cells from a related donor may kill the tumor cells. PURPOSE: This study furthers the research of previous studies (MT2003-01 and MT2004-25) which were to determine a specific preparatory regimen (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine) could create an environment in which infused NK cells can grow and effectively treat patients with relapsed AML. This study will test the previous regimen in patients with breast cancer.
