Filter by:This is a pilot study evaluating the use of tumor derived exosomes as a marker for response to therapy in women receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for newly diagnosed breast cancer. Tumor derived exosome analysis may be a novel diagnostic and prognostic biosignature in breast cancer, which could prove to be a tool for earlier diagnosis, more effective treatments, and improved markers of response in order to increase survival rates.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of seliciclib that can be given in combination with liposomal doxorubicin to patients with metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this research project is to create images of where and how the amino acid (the building blocks of proteins)Tryptophan is processed in normal and abnormal tissue in the patient's body. Tryptophan is a normal building block of proteins in the body. Sometimes in the case of cancer and other diseases, Tryptophan is processed abnormally, and possible treatments for this abnormality are of great interest because of the potential to improve cancer care.
The study will test metformin in patients with early breast cancer. Blood and tissue will be collected before and after the use of metformin.
This clinical trial studies azacitidine in treating patients with triple negative stage I-IV invasive breast cancer that can be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as azacitidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, single arm, phase II study with a 2-stage design and Bayesian interim monitoring to investigate the safety and efficacy of BEZ235 in patients with progressive metastatic HR+ HER2- breast cancer who have received at least one prior line of endocrine therapy and two to three prior lines of chemotherapy for metastatic disease. Patients will be stratified into 3 groups according to their PI3K (phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase) pathway activation status.
Women with Breast Cancer who do not respond to chemotherapy may undergo months of treatment with little or no change in tumor size or overall outcome. The Researchers have demonstrated a previously undescribed "metabolic flare" response observed very early in neoadjuvant treatment in breast cancer patients. The research can determine that this flare is predictive of overall therapy response and is due to both an inflammatory reaction and cell death induced by cytotoxic therapy.
The goal of the investigators study is to identify a prognostic marker that will evaluate the probability of recurrence in patients with stage 0-II breast cancer following surgery to remove the tumor.
The investigators have developed imaging protocols to monitor and predict breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, both prior to and as early as possible during the course of treatment. The efficacy and practicality of conventional imaging approaches in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy setting varies and identifies the need for alternate functional imaging strategies. Diffuse optical spectroscopic imaging is an experimental imaging method that allows patients to be followed from baseline through treatment and surgery with a cost-effective, bedside, handheld scanning probe. The researcher evaluates a harmonized diffuse optical spectroscopic imaging technology platform that has been standardized for neoadjuvant chemotherapy monitoring. Diffuse optical spectroscopic imaging is an academic research platform that is non-invasive. Studies will be performed in five clinical sites on approximately 60 neoadjuvant chemotherapy patients.
This is a phase II Trial of MK-2206 in combination with Endocrine Therapy in patients with Hormone Receptor Breast Cancer. After the maximum tolerated dose is determined in the phase 1b trial (under a separate NCT number), efficacy will be evaluated among 17 patients.
