Filter by:RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy in different ways may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether whole breast radiation therapy is more effective than partial breast radiation therapy in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying whole breast radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to partial breast radiation therapy in treating women who have undergone surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ or stage I or stage II breast cancer.
The main purpose of this research study is to see if the study drug, named CP-724,714, can help in the treatment of certain breast cancers that have spread to other locations in the body. Other goals of this study are to measure how long it may take for the cancer to get worse (progress), to see if there are any side effects from the study drug, to check the amount of study drug in the blood at different times, and to check to see if there is any relationship between certain blood tests and how patients may respond to the study drug. About 25 subjects at 4 sites (hospitals and clinics) in Bulgaria and Russia will be involved in the trial. Participation in this study can last up to 48 weeks, depending on the participant's toleration of the study drug and the response of her tumor(s) to the study drug. All participants will receive CP-724,714, at a daily dose of 250 mg (4 pills) every 12 hours.
This is a non-randomized Phase 2 study testing pemetrexed and doxorubicin in combination for locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Both pemetrexed and doxorubicin have been combined with other drugs, but they have not yet been combined with each other. It is expected that the patient will benefit from the different mechanisms of action of the two drugs. However, there is no guarantee that the patient will benefit from this treatment.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-cancer activity and safety of BAY43-9006 (Sorafenib) in patients, who suffer from an advanced breast tumour, which has spread to other organs of body despite treatment that the patient has received so far.
RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using letrozole may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. Celecoxib 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 letrozole with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well letrozole and celecoxib work in treating postmenopausal women with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of IH636 grape seed extract may prevent breast cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of IH636 grape seed extract in preventing breast cancer in postmenopausal women at risk of developing breast cancer.
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of tipifarnib when given together with gemcitabine hydrochloride and to see how well they work in treating women with breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Tipifarnib is a drug that binds to specific proteins on the tumor cells and then kills these cells. Gemcitabine hydrochloride is a chemotherapy drug that may kill tumor cells by preventing cells from dividing. Giving tipifarnib together with gemcitabine hydrochloride may kill more tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a new dose of 500 mg Fulvestrant with the standard dose of 250 mg in postmenopausal women with oestrogen receptor positive advanced breast cancer who have failed on a previous endocrine treatment.
The purpose of this trial is to study DPPE combined with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide in patients with metastatic and/or recurrent breast cancer who may have received previous hormone treatment but have not had exposure to anthracycline treatment. Stratification allocation will be within the following subgroups: 1. Prior cytotoxic treatment; 2. Estrogen receptor status; 3. ECOG performance status; 4. Number of cycles of chemotherapy.
Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for their growth. This phase II trial is studying how well lapatinib works in treating brain metastases in patients with stage IV breast cancer and brain metastases.
