Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity and safety of the combination of vinorelbine, carboplatin and trastuzumab in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
The combination of vinorelbine and gemcitabine seems to be an important part of the chemotherapy regimens used in metastatic breast cancer patients following treatment failure with the combination of a taxane and an anthracycline. Capecitabine rescue monotherapy in metastatic breast cancer patients following treatment failure with the combination of a taxane and an anthracycline, also seems to be an important part of the chemotherapy regimens used in metastatic breast cancer patients. Whether the combination of vinorelbine and gemcitabine or capecitabine administration is preferable is not yet known, especially in patients with metastatic disease.
Anthracycline-containing regimens are recommended as adjuvant treatment for women with node positive breast cancer. In at least three large randomized clinical trials the addition or sequential administration of a taxane (paclitaxel or docetaxel) to an antracycline-based regimen resulted in superior clinical outcome for women with node positive early breast cancer. In two large randomized studies the dose dense administration with G-CSF support of anthracycline-based and paclitaxel combination was superior to the same regimen administered every three weeks without growth factors as adjuvant therapy in women with axillary node positive breast cancer. In one randomized trial, docetaxel was proved superior to paclitaxel in women with metastatic breast cancer
The primary objective of this trial is to explore the efficacy of BIBW 2992 in HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer patients after failure of trastuzumab containing regimens.
In an open-label randomised phase III-trial patients with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer naive to chemotherapy with normal organ function and WHO performance status < 3 are randomised to receive either docetaxel 100 mg/m2 i.v. plus trastuzumab 6 mg/kg (8 mg/kg loading dose) q 3 weeks or vinorelbine 30 or 35 mg/m2 days 1+8 plus trastuzumab 6 mg/kg (8 mg/kg loading dose) q 3 weeks. Primary endpoint is time to progression. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, time to treatment failure, response rate, duration of response and toxicity. The study hypothesis is that docetaxel is more efficient than vinorelbine but also more toxic.
RATIONALE: Collecting samples of fluid using ductal lavage and nipple aspiration from participants at high risk for breast cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is using ductal lavage to collect fluid from women at high risk for breast cancer.
The combination of docetaxel+epirubicin is highly effective and well tolerated as first line treatment in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Capecitabine is an active drug in women with MBC pretreated with taxane and anthracycline. Docetaxel increases the intracellular levels of thymidilate phosphorylase and thus is synergistic with capecitabine. The combination of docetaxel plus capecitabine is highly active and superior to docetaxel monotherapy in women with MBC pretreated with an anthracycline
Primary Objectives: 1. To assess the feasibility of mini-allogeneic Peripheral Blood Progenitor Cell (PBPC) transplantation in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. 2. To determine the success rate (complete remission without severe toxicity or death) at 100 days after the transplant and long-term progression free survival (PFS) rate. 3. To examine the graft vs. breast cancer effect of allogeneic PBPC transplantation.
Primary objectives: - To determine the time to progression in subjects with breast cancer metastatic to bone only treated with 153Sm-EDTMP and Autologous Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (PBSCT). Secondary objectives: - To determine the overall survival at one year. - To determine the efficacy of 153Sm-EDTMP at 6 months. - To assess pain in subjects treated with 153Sm-EDTMP. - To determine the safety of 153Sm-EDTMP.
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.
