Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with cisplatin and vinorelbine ditartrate in treating patients with breast cancer that has returned or spread to other parts of the body. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and vinorelbine ditartrate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving veliparib together with combination chemotherapy may be a better treatment for breast cancer.
This study is looking at whether Metformin, an agent that is commonly used to treat diabetes, can decrease or affect the ability of breast cancer cells to grow and whether Metformin will work with other therapies to keep cancer from recurring. Health Canada has not approved the sale or use of Metformin to treat breast cancer, although they have approved its use in this clinical trial. Although Metformin is approved by the FDA for the treatment of diabetes, its use in breast cancer is considered investigational.
Rationale: Gathering medical information and tumor samples from patients with male breast cancer may help doctors learn more about the disease. Purpose retrospective part: to perform a large international retrospective analysis of clinical and biological data of male BC patients treated in the participating centers from 1990 to 2010. Purpose prospective part: to create a registry of men with breast cancer for a period of 30 months (starting early 2014).
RATIONALE: Breast-conserving surgery is a less invasive type of surgery for breast cancer and may have fewer side effects and improve recovery. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II clinical trial is studying how well breast-conserving surgery followed by radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage I or stage II breast cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to see if combining uracil cream (UTC) with capecitabine (Xeloda) can prevent Hand-Foot Syndrome. The study will also see what effects UTC and capecitabine may have in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, docetaxel, and zoledronic acid, 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) may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective when given together with zoledronic acid in treating patients with breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving doxorubicin hydrochloride together with cyclophosphamide and docetaxel to see how well it works with or without zoledronic acid in treating patients with large resectable or locally advanced breast cancer.
Ixabepilone and capecitabine combination has demonstrated to be an active regimen in patients with metastatic breast cancer after failing other treatments. Cetuximab is active against tumors expressing epidermal growth factor receptor w/demonstrated activity in head & neck and colorectal tumors and may be effective in some breast cancers known to express EGFR. Study seeks to evaluate Ixabepilone alone or in combination with cetuximab as a an antitumor therapy w/randomization stratified by stage (T1N1-3M0 or T2-4 N0-3M0).
This is an open-label Phase 1 trial of MM-111 in combination with Herceptin.
RATIONALE: Cholecalciferol may prevent breast cancer in premenopausal women. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well cholecalciferol works in preventing breast cancer in premenopausal women.
To determine the safety and immunogenicity profile of two (2) different doses of the vaccine DPX-0907 to treat breast, ovarian and prostate cancer.
