Filter by:This study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the combination of two drugs, Veliparib and Lapatinib, given to participants with metastatic triple negative breast cancer that have undergone previous treatment. Veliparib is an investigational drug and has not been approved by the FDA while Lapatinib has been approved by the FDA for another type of breast cancer. All eligible participants will receive the study medications and not a placebo.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of multiantigen deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) plasmid-based vaccine in treating patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative stage III-IV breast cancer. Multiantigen DNA plasmid-based vaccine may target immunogenic proteins expressed in breast cancer stem cells which are the component of breast cancer that is resistant to chemotherapy and has the ability to spread. Vaccines made from DNA may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
This 2 arms study will assess the efficacy and safety of the Vinorelbine-Docetaxel combination given as an initial upfront treatment (first line) to all metastatic breast cancer patients enrolled. Patients having a disease control following initial treatment, will be randomized to either oral Vinorelbine maintenance arm or Observation arm. The trial will also compare the efficacy and safety of maintenance oral Vinorelbine versus Observation.
In this study,the investigators are looking to see how older women who are survivors of breast cancer and either did or did not receive chemotherapy are affected by treatment, compared to older women who have never had cancer. Thinking and memory abilities normally decrease with age and the investigators want to see if the long-term effects of cancer treatments may make these problems worse. The investigators will also look at how thinking and memory abilities of older women are affected by genetics and smoking history. Genetics and other factors may affect the brain's chemicals or structure, and may either protect against the negative effects on thinking or make someone more at risk for them. MSK participants who previously consented to allostatic blood and saliva collection but have not yet provided any allostatic blood or saliva samples for this study, will not be asked to provide any further samples at follow-up. Participants who have consented to allostatic sample collection and provided one set of allostatic blood and saliva samples at a previous follow-up study visit will still be asked to provide a second set of samples at a later follow-up. COH participants will continue to provide allostatic blood and saliva collection as originally outlined
This randomized phase III trial studies exemestane and entinostat to see how well they work compared to exemestane alone in treating patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or another place in the body (metastatic). Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Endocrine therapy using exemestane may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. Entinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether exemestane is more effective with or without entinostat in treating breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether preoperative abdominal imaging using either CT angiogram (CTA), or MR angiogram (MRA) will impact perforator dissection time, cost, and patient outcomes in DIEP flap breast reconstruction.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether biomarkers could be found to gain more insight in tumor characteristics in order to predict which patients will have a high chance of a long progression-free survival. Postmenopausal patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer who have progressed on anastrozole or letrozole will be eligible for this study.
Breast cancer biomarkers are usually performed on core needle biopsy (CNB) specimens and are not routinely repeated on surgical specimens (SS). However, preliminary data suggests that testing these biomarkers, on SS when compared to CNB samples can lead to different results. Our hypothesis is that The aim of this study is to identify a group of women with invasive breast cancer who may benefit from additional HER2 testing on their SS to ensure that areas of HER2 amplification are not missed. Another aim is to determine whether further HER2 testing on the SS in select patients would lead to changes in breast cancer treatment options.
The main purpose of this study is to compare progression-free survival for women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2) negative advanced breast cancer receiving either abemaciclib + fulvestrant or fulvestrant alone. Participants will be randomized to abemaciclib or placebo in a 2:1 ratio. The study will last about 9 months for each participant. For the endocrine naïve cohort, all participants will received abemaciclib + fulvestrant.
Adjuvant chemotherapy is frequently proposed to patients presenting early breast cancer, in case of high risk of recurrence (large tumors, node involvement, high grade…). Due to its toxicity toward veins, chemotherapy must be administered through a central venous device. Today, one can use either an implanted port or a PICC line (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter). A PICC line is easier to implant and to explant, but has to be flushed every week and may impact daily life (no swimming, some clothes may not fit). On the other hand, a port is subcutaneous and lets patients lead a normal life, but its implant and explant require a cutaneous incision with possible complications (bleeding, pain, infection). For both venous devices, complications such as thrombosis or infection may happen. Published data comparing the two devices are heterogeneous and do not often distinguish patients treated for different diseases at various stages. Empirically in daily practice, for long term use (>6 months) a port is usually preferred, whereas for short-term treatments (<6 weeks) a PICC line is used. In the case of Her2 negative early breast cancer, adjuvant chemotherapy usually lasts 4 to 5 months. There is no scientific evidence for preferring one device to the other for these patients. The aim of this study is to prospectively compare the patients' satisfaction and tolerance of each of the two devices.
