NCT ID: NCT02646319 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage IV Breast Cancer

Nanoparticle Albumin-Bound Rapamycin in Treating Patients With Advanced Cancer With mTOR Mutations

Start date: January 2016
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This pilot trial studies how well nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin works in treating patients with cancer that as has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced cancer) and that has an abnormality in a protein called mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Patients with this mutation are identified by genetic testing. Patients then receive nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin, which may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the mTOR enzyme, which is needed for cell growth and multiplication. Using treatments that target a patient's specific mutation may be a more effective treatment than the standard of care treatment.

NCT ID: NCT02599194 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage IV Breast Cancer

18F-FSPG PET/CT for Cancer Patients on Therapy

Start date: July 2015
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this phase 2 study trial is to evaluate the utility of the radiolabel 18F-FSPG used before and after treatment to diagnose, predict, and evaluate response to therapy in patients with a wide variety of metastatic cancers.

NCT ID: NCT02536794 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage IV Breast Cancer

MEDI4736 and Tremelimumab in Treating Patients With Metastatic HER2 Negative Breast Cancer

Start date: January 14, 2016
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The main purpose of this study is to determine the anti-tumor activity of MEDI4736 in combination with tremelimumab in patients with metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer. Both MEDI4736 and tremelimumab are antibodies (proteins used by the immune system to fight infections and cancers). MEDI4736 attaches to a protein in tumors called PD-L1. It may prevent cancer growth by helping certain blood cells of the immune system get rid of the tumor. Tremelimumab stimulates (wakes up) the immune system to attack the tumor by inhibiting a protein molecule called CTLA-4 on immune cells. Combining the actions of these drugs may result in better treatment options for patients with breast cancer.

NCT ID: NCT02457910 Terminated - Clinical trials for Stage IV Breast Cancer

Taselisib and Enzalutamide in Treating Patients With Androgen Receptor Positive Triple-Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer

Start date: June 2015
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This partially randomized phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of taselisib when given together with enzalutamide and to see how well they work in treating patients with androgen receptor positive triple-negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Taselisib is a PI3K inhibitor. The PI3K pathway is involved is cancer growth. Androgen may cause the growth of tumor cells. Enzalutamide may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the androgen receptor from working. Giving taselisib with enzalutamide may be a better treatment for patients with breast cancer.

NCT ID: NCT02370264 Terminated - Clinical trials for Stage IV Breast Cancer

Questionnaires in Identifying Upper Extremity Function and Quality of Life After Treatment in Patients With Breast Cancer

Start date: October 1, 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This pilot clinical trial studies questionnaires in identifying arms, shoulder, and neck (upper extremity) function and quality of life after treatment in patients with breast cancer. Patients may experience arms, shoulder, and neck impairments that negatively affect their functioning and quality of life after cancer-related treatment. Studying upper extremity function and quality of life in patients after breast cancer treatment may help doctors determine the prevalence and severity of long-term functional impairments and the relationship between the perception of impairments due to breast cancer treatment and its' impact on quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT02331212 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Stage IV Breast Cancer

Role of Hyaluronic Acid in Causing Cancer Stem Cell Growth in the Bones of Patients With Breast Cancer

Start date: March 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This research trial studies the role of a substance called hyaluronic acid in causing the growth of cancer stem cells in the bones of patients with breast cancer. Cancer stem cells are a type of cancer cells that may cause the cancer to spread to other parts of the body. Studying samples of blood and bone marrow from patients and animal models in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about whether hyaluronic acid affects the growth of cancer in the bones.

NCT ID: NCT02273752 Terminated - Clinical trials for Stage IV Breast Cancer

Pharmacokinetically Guided Everolimus in Patients With Breast Cancer, Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors, or Kidney Cancer

Start date: November 2014
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well real-time pharmacokinetic therapeutic drug monitoring works in preventing stomatitis from developing in patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, or kidney cancer that are receiving a type of cancer drug called everolimus. Stomatitis is a common side effect of everolimus that causes inflammation of the mouth, with or without oral ulcers, and frequently leads to patients discontinuing the medication. Monitoring the blood levels of everolimus and making adjustments in a patient's dose may be able to decrease the incidence of stomatitis, while maintaining the effectiveness of everolimus to treat the cancer.

NCT ID: NCT02269670 Terminated - Clinical trials for Stage IV Breast Cancer

Phase II Study of Everolimus Beyond Progression

Start date: November 25, 2014
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial studies how well everolimus and hormone therapy work in treating patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer that has continued to spread (progressed) or returned after a period of improvement (recurred) on everolimus and exemestane hormone therapy. Everolimus is a chemotherapy drug that may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen and progesterone are hormones that can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen and progesterone the body makes. Giving everolimus with a different type of hormone therapy may be an effective treatment for breast cancer in patients who progressed on everolimus with exemestane.

NCT ID: NCT02226276 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for HER2-positive Breast Cancer

Copper Cu 64-DOTA-Trastuzumab PET in Predicting Response to Treatment With Ado-Trastuzumab Emtansine in Patients With Metastatic HER2 Positive Breast Cancer

Start date: January 7, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This pilot clinical trial studies how well copper Cu 64-tetra-azacyclododecanetetra-acetic acid (DOTA)-trastuzumab positron emission tomography (PET) works in predicting response to treatment with ado-trastuzumab emtansine in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Copper Cu 64-DOTA-trastuzumab is a chemotherapy drug (trastuzumab) attached to a radioactive substance. Diagnostic procedures using PET may allow scanners to take pictures of where the drug travels in the body and may help doctors identify which patients may benefit from treatment with ado-trastuzumab emtansine.

NCT ID: NCT02219789 Completed - Clinical trials for Stage IV Breast Cancer

Alisertib and Fulvestrant in Treating Patients With Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer That is Metastatic or Locally Advanced and Cannot Be Removed by Surgery

Start date: December 5, 2014
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of alisertib when given together with fulvestrant in treating patients with hormone positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes and cannot be removed by surgery. Alisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen and progesterone are type of hormones made by the body and they can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using fulvestrant may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen or progesterone the body makes. Giving alisertib together with fulvestrant may be a better treatment for breast cancer.
