The primary aim of this study is to investigate time to progression in breast cancer patients vaccinated with autologous dendritic cells pulsed with peptides in combination with adjuvant aromatase inhibitor (AI), Thymosin 1 alpha and interleukin-2. The secondary aim is to investigate whether a measurable immune response can be induced, and to evaluate the clinical effect (objective response rate) of the vaccination regime.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation together with everolimus may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of everolimus when given together with paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and to see how well it works in treating women with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
This open-label, multi-center study will assess the safety and tolerability of adding trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) to docetaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Patients will receive T-DM1 and docetaxel on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle. For patients with locally advanced breast cancer, pertuzumab may be added to trastuzumab emtansine and docetaxel. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to 6 cycles for patients with locally advanced breast cancer, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs for patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Positron Emission Tomography Imaging with 3-Deoxy-3'-[18F]Fluorothymidine (FLT) can selectively identify proliferating and non-proliferating tissues, including tumors. FLT uptake in the tumor is an indirect marker of DNA synthesis activity, which is a target of chemotherapy. Our hypothesis is that early change in FLT uptake in tumor with chemotherapy will predict pathological response to neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer. Tumor uptake of FLT will be imaged and measured with positron emission mammography (PEM), a PET scanner optimized for breast imaging with a significantly improved resolution compared to conventional whole-body PET imaging systems.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of Avandamet that can be given in combination with exemestane to patients who are obese and postmenopausal with hormone-receptive-positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
The aims of this study are to determine the differential coping strategies used by adolescent daughters whose mothers have breast cancer, and how this relates to the stress responses they exhibit.
RATIONALE: Telephone sessions and survivorship booklets may increase knowledge about the psychological and physical impact of breast cancer and increase awareness of available resources. It is not yet known whether survivorship booklets are more effective when given alone or together with individual telephone sessions in informing breast cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying individual telephone sessions given together with survivorship booklets compared with survivorship booklets alone to see how well they work in increasing knowledge about the impact of breast cancer in African American and Latina breast cancer survivors.
This is a phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of single-agent trastuzumab-MCC-DM1 administered by intravenous (IV) infusion in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who have previously received trastuzumab. The study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of trastuzumab-MCC-DM1 and determine the dose and schedule to be used in Phase II.
The objective of this surveillance is to collect information about 1) adverse drug reaction not expected from the LPD (unknown adverse drug reaction), 2) the incidence of adverse drug reactions in this surveillance, and 3)factors considered to affect the safety and/or efficacy of this drug.
