Filter by:Phase I: will look at different dose levels and regimens of everolimus combined with weekly trastuzumab and paclitaxel therapy in patients with HER-2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer. Phase II: will assess the efficacy and safety of the 10mg daily dose of everolimus combined with weekly trastuzumab and paclitaxel therapy in patients with HER-2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer.
This study will look at different dose levels and regimens of everolimus combined with weekly trastuzumab and vinorelbine therapy in patients with HER-2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether a group CBT intervention is effective in reducing psychological distress in women with primary breast cancer.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of BIBW 2992, a dual, irreversible EGFR- and HER2-inhibitor, in two cohorts of patients with HER2-negative breast cancer after failure of no more than three regimen of prior chemotherapy.
In a randomized 3-group clinical study acupuncture is used for the relief of menopausal hot flushes and sleep disturbances in women treated for breastcancer. The three groups consists of 35 women given acupuncture once a week five times and 35 women given shamacupuncture once a week five times and 35 women with no kind of treatment. Se-estradiol and endorphin is measured before and after the acupuncture. We want to state that acupuncture given five times once a week has a significant better effect on hot flushes and sleeping disturbances than shamacupuncture or no treatment at all. We also want to measure if there are any changes in se-estradiol and endorphine
RATIONALE: ONTAK may be able to help reduce the type of cells that prevent other types of immune cells from attacking the breast cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the safety of ONTAK and its possible side effects to see how well it works in treating patients with advanced breast cancer that did not respond to previous treatment.
The primary objective of this study is to investigate the repeat-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of zoledronic acid when administered every 4 weeks versus every 12 weeks, in patients treated with 9-20 infusions of zoledronic acid during the previous 10-15 months.
The combination of taxanes, and especially docetaxel, with an anthracycline seems to be an important part of the chemotherapy regimens used in the adjuvant setting of patients with early-stage node-positive breast cancer patients. Whether sequential or concurrent administration of these drugs is preferable is not yet known, especially in patients with node-negative high risk tumors.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving doxorubicin together with cyclophosphamide works in treating older women with stage I , stage II, or stage III breast cancer that has been removed by surgery.
RATIONALE: Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Giving lapatinib together with tamoxifen may be an effective treatment for breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase I trial is studying the side effects of lapatinib and tamoxifen in treating patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
