Filter by:The primary objective is to examine the impact on progression-free survival of targeted therapy for breast cancer suggested by proteomic and genomic profiling.
The objective of the registry study is to demonstrate the clinical utility of the CELLSEARCH® CTC Test among the Medicare-Eligible metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC) patients in the United States. The objective of the present registry is to demonstrate the impact on patient management of the CELLSEARCH® CTC Test among the Medicare-eligible mBC patients. Hereto the hypothesis that the availability of CTC information provides clinicians important, timely information and impacts treatment decisions, will be tested. This study is IDE-exempt since CELLSEARCH® CTC Test is a legally marketed device in the US, and is being used in accordance with its labeling.
This phase I/II study is designed to compare different treatment schedules of a personalized anti-cancer vaccine protocol which combines the cryoablation of a selected metastatic lesion with intra-tumor immunotherapy. The cryoablation causes the tumor to release tumor-specific antigens into the surrounding environment. The injection of bioengineered allogeneic immune cells, AlloStim(TM), into the lesion is designed to modulate the immune response and educate the immune system to kill other tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to estimate the clinical benefit of lapatinib plus trastuzumab compared to lapatinib plus capecitabine as measured by investigator-assessed progression-free survival, tumour response and overall survival.
This study is being done to find the effect of Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in combination with Ixabepilone for women with triple negative metastatic breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, administering infusions of AUY922 with hormonal therapy (letrozole) and oral targeted drug (lapatinib) will have on the patients with advanced breast cancer known as ER+ HER2 +.
This is a treatment protocol designed to accompany the ongoing institutional 124I PET/CT pilot imaging study for patients with invasive breast cancer. Women whose tumors express NIS [Na+I- symporter, sodium iodide symporter] and demonstrate radioiodide uptake on 124I PET/CT scans will be eligible for 131I treatment if, (1) tumor dosimetry calculations yield a cumulative radiation dose of at least 30Gy in target tumor, (2) estimated cumulative thyroid irradiation is less than 500 cGy and, (3) the therapeutic dose of 131I is in the range of 25 to 100 mCi.
In 2008 there were more than 40,000 deaths caused by metastatic breast cancer in the United States. The development of new treatment strategies is essential to improve outcome for patients with metastatic breast cancer There is significant preclinical and clinical evidence indicating that creating new blood vessels (neoangiogenesis) to provide nutrients to solid tumors, including breast cancer, provides the necessary conditions to allow tumor growth. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the important molecules regulating new blood vessel formations and subsequent invasion and metastases. As a result, agents that inhibit VEGF are of substantial interest for the treatment of advanced diseases. This study will further the body of research of motesanib which has been shown in preclinical pharmacology and clinical pharmacology studies to be a potent, orally bioavailable multi-kinase inhibitor with anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor activity achieved by selectively targeting all known VEGF, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), and Kit receptors.
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.
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.
