Filter by:This is a phase I study to evaluate the safety and define the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of orally administered reparixin in combination with paclitaxel in HER 2 (Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2) negative metastatic breast cancer patients. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and define the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of orally administered reparixin in combination with paclitaxel in HER-2 negative MBC patients. The secondary objectives were to: 1. Evaluate the effects of orally administered reparixin on cancer stem cell (CSC) markers, the tumoral microenvironment and markers of cytokine inflammation; 2. Evaluate peripheral blood samples for enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), molecular characterization as CSCs and perform epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarker profiling; 3. Assess disease response for indication of efficacy.
This is a study to determine the safety and effectiveness of BKM120 plus capecitabine in breast cancer patients with brain metastases. Both capecitabine and BMK120 have previously shown activity in patients with breast cancer. Like capecitabine, BMK120 is also effective in crossing the blood brain barrier making it a preferred candidate for its evaluation in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
This is a phase II study that combines Trastuzumab with Pertuzumab to see how it works in women age greater than 60 who have been diagnosed with HER2/neu overexpressed locally advanced and/or metastatic breast carcinoma.
The androgen receptor (AR) is expressed in 70-90 percent of primary breast tumors and in 75 percent of breast metastases. There is evidence to suggest that Androgen Receptor (AR) may be a target in patients with advanced breast cancer. Breast cancer patients whose tumors do not express the ER, PR or HER2 (triple negative) have very few options for treatment. Orteronel is being developed as an endocrine therapy for relevant hormone-sensitive cancers such as prostrate cancer and breast cancer. Triple-negative metastatic breast cancer patients with AR expression could potentially benefit from anti-androgen therapy like orteronel.
To compare continuing bevacizumab + paclitaxel or switching to bevacizumab + endocrine maintenance therapy followed by bevacizumab + paclitaxel, after 1st line induction therapy with bevacizumab + paclitaxel in ER+HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
The current study will compare the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of PF-05280014 in combination with paclitaxel versus trastuzumab sourced from the European Union (trastuzumab-EU) with paclitaxel in female patients with HER2-positive, metastatic breast cancer in the first-line treatment setting. The hypothesis to be tested in this study is that the efficacy (ORR) of PF-05280014 is similar to trastuzumab-EU.
Knowledge of breast cancer estrogen receptor (ER) expression is of major importance in treatment-decision making. Patients with ER-positive tumors can be treated with anti-oestrogen therapy, which has relatively few side effects compared to chemotherapy. Whole-body tumor ER-expression can be visualized by 18F-fluoroestradiol PET imaging (FES-PET). In addition to ER, the androgen receptor (AR) is a potential new target in breast cancer. PET imaging with 18F-fluorodihydrotestosterone (18F-FDHT) may allow visualization of tumor AR-expression. In the current study we will perform FES-PET and FDHT-PET in metastatic breast cancer patients and evaluate the concordance with concurrent biopsies. Molecular imaging of tumor AR- and ER-expression may well be of value for future treatment decision-making.
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.
Investigators propose to assess,the safety and tolerability profile (number of participants with adverse events)of bevacizumab (Avastin) when combined with standard chemotherapy as first line treatment of patients with metastatic Breast Cancer.
This is a feasibility study to demonstrate the team's ability to collect bone marrow aspirates and biopsies for research purposes from women with metastatic breast cancer.
