Filter by:The investigators want to find out if the treatments used in this study are helpful to patients that are diagnosed with hormone receptor positive metastatic breast cancer. The investigators want to also look at any side effects that could happen while patients are on the study treatments. The investigators want to see if there are any changes that could show us if your cancer is responding to the study treatments.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential of a Lapatinib plus Caelyx combination therapy as an effective and safe therapeutic regimen with a favourable cardiotoxicity profile, in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer following failure of prior trastuzumab.
In this Phase II trial, the investigators will evaluate the combination of gemcitabine, carboplatin, and panitumumab in the treatment of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. In addition, to assess the efficacy of this combination, tumor tissue will be examined for the presence of various markers, including K-ras and PI3K-activating mutations, EGFR, PTEN, and p53. Correlation of tumor response with marker expression may define a patient subset that is particularly responsive to treatment with a panitumumab-containing combination.
The purpose of this non-interventional study is to collect data on efficacy and toxicity of the use of Navelbine ORAL in daily routine in Germany (especially after availability of an 80mg capsule). The study focusses on concomitant antiemetic therapy and patient compliance.
This is a retrospective medical record abstraction study. It is a review and evaluation of up to 300 metastatic breast cancer patients treated with Abraxane or other taxanes such as paclitaxel and docetaxel to determine the overall cost of care for Abraxane compared to other taxanes in the first-line metastatic cancer setting and the cost of care for Abraxane compared to other taxanes when broken down by individual components of cost. In addition, the investigators will review the following patient outcomes: response rate, duration of therapy, toxicity, and survival.
This was a multi-institutional, multinational, open-label, single-arm Phase Ib/II study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of trastuzumab emtansine (trastuzumab-MCC-DM1) administered by intravenous (IV) infusion in combination with pertuzumab in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who had previously received trastuzumab.
The aim of the trial is to detect the superiority of the triple combination of capecitabine, bevacizumab and vinorelbine versus the combination of capecitabine and bevacizumab in patients with metastatic breast cancer. 600 patients, 300 in each treatment group, are treated until progression of disease to determine PFS.
The present protocol is a phase 2 study designed to investigate the potential application of allogeneic cell-mediated immunotherapy in metastatic solid tumors, similarly to the well established graft versus leukemia (GVL) effects, in patients with metastatic solid tumors resistant to conventional treatment modalities. Patients will be eligible to participate in a treatment program based on systemic administration of mismatched lymphocytes activated in vitro with rIL-2 (LAK) followed by rIL-2 inoculation in vivo. This treatment is aiming to induce an anti-tumor effect mediated by the efficient killing activity of the rIL-2 activated cells. Prior to cell infusion patients will receive the conditioning treatment with low dose Cyclophosphamide (Cyc) or Fludarabine with 2 injections of low dose alpha interferon. Cell therapy will be combined with specific anti-tumor monoclonal antibodies if available for the specific disease. Further activation of the anti-tumor activity of alloreactive donor T cells and natural killer (NK) cells will be accomplished by in vivo inoculation of rIL-2, aiming for enhancing the anti-cancer potential of donor-derived effectors cells. Patients will receive one - three cycles of cell therapy, as long as there are no signs of Graft- versus - Host - disease (GVHD) and the malignant disease is controlled.
This is an open label trial for patients currently enrolled in other perifosine trials.
This study will evaluate the activity of single agent trastuzumab or lapatinib in patients not previously treated for HER-2 positive (FISH positive) metastatic breast cancer. A companion biological study will assess factors correlated with sensitivity or resistance to either one of the compounds
