Filter by:A pre-surgery study to assess changes that occur in human breast cancer material and normal skin after a short course of treatment with Iressa.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality criteria of the SLN detection technique in breast cancer patients with a tumor size (clinical measurement) greater than 2 centimeters (rate of false negatives, rate of detection). Eligible patients will only be registered (no randomization). The estimated inclusion period is approximately 24 months. The duration of the research is 25 months (24 months for patient inclusion + 1 month for reception of results). The maximum participation duration of each patient is 1 month. The number of patients required in this multicentric and prospective study is 240 (16 participating centers).
This multi-center randomized Phase II study assigned HER2-negative early-stage breast cancer patients to receive preoperative systemic chemotherapy in either a "genomic-guided" arm or a "non-guided arm." The "genomic-guided" method (Arm 1) used genomic expression profiling to assign the preoperative therapy (Doxorubicin/Cyclophosphamide (AC) versus Docetaxel/Cyclophosphamide (TC), while Arm 2 used random assignment to these two therapies.
The main purpose of this study is to compare the effect of 2 doses of FASLODEX with 1 dose of ARIMIDEX in terms of time to tumor progression in postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as CP-751871, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best way to give CP-751871 in treating patients with early-stage breast cancer that can be removed by surgery.
This study will evaluate the rate of response to the sequential therapy of Doxil, paclitaxel, and cyclophosphamide with concurrent Avastin for patients with locally advanced invasive (T2,T3, Nany, M0) breast carcinoma. Also, the study will evaluate the clinical and subclinical cardiotoxic effect(s) of this regimen, assess how feasible and safe the study is. Survival without any progression of disease will also be calculated. A regimen of chemotherapy will be given to replicate the high rate of response in patients with locally advanced breast cancer. Doxil will substitute the normally given doxorubicin. It is expected that the low effect or minimal effect of Doxil on cardiac function will minimize any additional risk of cardiotoxicity from Avastin. It is expected that clinical and subclinical rates of cardiotoxicity will be very low at the total doses to be given in this clinical trial.
Letrozole is an aromatase inhibitor that is approved in the first-line treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive or hormone receptor unknown locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Sorafenib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sorafenib when given in combination with letrozole and to see how well they work in treating postmenopausal women with metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and preliminary effectiveness of ixabepilone plus lapatinib with and without capecitabine in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive or metastatic breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving erlotinib before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well erlotinib works in treating patients with breast cancer that can be removed by surgery.
The purpose of this study was to estimate the response rate of ixabepilone monotherapy, and the combination of ixabepilone plus cetuximab as first-line treatment of female subjects with triple negative (estrogen receptor [ER], progesterone receptor [PR], Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 [HER2] negative) locally advanced non-resectable and/or metastatic breast cancer
