There are about 20 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Bahamas. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
This 3 arm study will assess the tolerability, safety and efficacy of 3 neoadjuvant treatment regimens in patients with locally advanced, inflammatory or early stage HER2-positive breast cancer. Before surgery, patients will be randomized to receive either A) 6 cycles of pertuzumab plus Herceptin, with FEC (5-fluorouracil/epirubicin/cyclophosphamide) for cycles 1-3 and docetaxel for cycles 4-6, or B) FEC for cycles 1-3 followed by pertuzumab plus Herceptin with docetaxel for cycles 4-6, or C) 6 cycles of pertuzumab plus Herceptin with docetaxel and carboplatin. Pertuzumab will be administered at a loading dose of 840mg iv, then 420mg iv 3-weekly, Herceptin at a loading dose of 8mg/kg iv, then 6mg/kg iv 3-weekly, docetaxel at 75mg/m2 iv, increased to 100mg/m2 iv 3-weekly, and FEC and carboplatin iv 3-weekly at standard doses. Following surgery patients will receive Herceptin 6mg/kg iv 3-weekly for a total of 1 year, as well as adequate chemo-, radio- and hormone therapy. Anticipated time on study treatment is 4-12 months, and target sample size is 200-300.
The trial objective will be to evaluate whether BI 6727 monotherapy or in combination with pemetrexed may be effective in the treatment of advanced or metastatic NSCLC in patients who relapsed after or failed first-line platinum based therapy. The secondary objectives are to identify the acceptable dose of BI 6727 in combination with pemetrexed and to characterize the pharmacokinetic profiles of BI 6727 alone. Arm A, BI6727 monotherapy arm is closed to further recruitment.
