Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate, that is the % of patients with non-progression of their metastatic breast cancer after 4 months on treatment that was selected by molecular testing and proteomics.
To develop a system to manage side effects and adjust chemotherapy dose such that a patient can receive their personal maximum tolerated dose.
This is an open-label, multicenter study with a phase 1 dose escalation portion and a 2-stage, phase 2 portion, investigating MLN8237 in patients with advanced nonhematological malignancies.
The objective of this phase I/ II study is therefore to assess the safety and efficacy of lapatinib in combination with docetaxel in patients with advanced cancer. Only patients in first line treatment for metastatic disease should be included in the present study. It is proposed to start with a phase I part evaluating the safety of lapatinib 1250 mg with docetaxel 75 mg/m² without systematic support of growth factors, starting after the completion and data from the 1000 mg lapatinib +75 mg/m² docetaxel dose level in the EORTC (Bonnefoi) study.The objective of the phase II part will confirm the safety and evaluate efficacy of lapatinib in combination with docetaxel.
Doxorubicin has been an integral part of the treatment of women with breast cancer for many years. Since amrubicin may have more activity than doxorubicin, as well as less cardiotoxicity, evaluation of amrubicin in the treatment of advanced breast cancer should be a priority. In this Phase II study, the investigators propose an evaluation of single-agent amrubicin as second- or third-line treatment for women with metastatic breast cancer.
To provide extended access to Ixabepilone therapy to subjects with metastatic breast cancer who have completed the previous Phase II study (CA163-107)
Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody currently used for the treatment of colorectal cancer. It works by preventing the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis). The drug has been shown to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) activity. Previous research showed positive findings in other solid tumors that had metastasized. In this study, the investigators are investigating the response of adding bevacizumab to conventional chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the response rates for Ixabepilone (BMS-247550) in subjects with metastatic breast cancer previously treated with an anthracycline and who are taxane resistant.
This phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled multinational study will assess the combination everolimus, vinorelbine, and trastuzumab compared to the combination vinorelbine and trastuzumab with respect to progressive-free survival and over survival in HER2/neu positive women with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are resistant to trastuzumab and have been pre-treated with a taxane.
The purpose of this research study is to determine how well the combination of bevacizumab and carboplatin works in treating breast cancer that has spread to the brain. Bevacizumab is an antibody (a protein that attacks a foreign substance in the body) that is made in the laboratory. Bevacizumab works differently from the way chemotherapy drugs work. Usually chemotherapy drugs attack fast growing cancer cells in the body. Bevacizumab works to slow or stop the growth of cells in cancer tumors by decreasing the blood supply to the tumors. When the blood supply is decreased, the tumors don't get the oxygen and nutrients they need to grow. Carboplatin is in a class of drugs known as platinum-containing compounds and has been approved for use in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Information from other research studies suggests that the combination of bevacizumab with carboplatin may be effective in treating breast cancer.
