Filter by:Taxanes (such as paclitaxel) are highly active to treat breast cancer. Abraxane® (nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel) compared to standard paclitaxel improves efficacy and tolerability. When combined with a taxane, platinum agents improve response in metastatic breast cancer, with carboplatin conferring less toxicity than cisplatin. The investigators hypothesize that the combination of weekly Abraxane® and carboplatin will lengthen time to progression without producing intolerable toxicity.
The purpose of this research study is to see what effects trastuzumab in combination with vinorelbine has on breast cancer when the participant has circulating tumor cells that are positive for the protein called HER2. Trastuzumab is an FDA approved drug that targets HER2. The drug combination of trastuzumab and vinorelbine is an effective treatment for patients with breast cancers that are positive for HER2. This trial seeks to determine if the combination can also benefit participants whose original breast cancer was HER2 negative but whose circulating tumor cells are HER2 positive.
The objective of this phase II study is to gain first information on the efficacy (PFS, ORR and OS) and safety of lapatinib plus vinorelbine in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer pretreated with a combination therapy (chemotherapy and/or hormonal therapy) including lapatinib and presenting with tumor progression. Primary objective is to assess the efficacy with respect to the percentage of patients surviving without disease progression as assessed by RECIST criteria. Secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy of the study treatment with respect to the objective response rates as assessed by RECIST criteria version 1.1, the overall survival and to evaluate the safety profile of the combination by recording the adverse events and abnormal laboratory values associated with the study treatments. The main efficacy endpoints will be investigated both for the intent-to-treat (ITT) population and the per-protocol (PP) population.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of BKM120 in combination with trastuzumab in patients with relapsing HER2 overexpressing breast cancer who have previously failed trastuzumab. The study will further assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of BKM120 in combination with trastuzumab and capecitabine in patients with relapsing HER2 overexpressing breast cancer and brain metastases (BM) who have previously failed trastuzumab.
The purpose of this study is to determine the highest dose of Vinorelbine and Pazopanib that can be given together without causing severe side effects. Also, this study will evaluate what effects (good and bad) that the treatment has on patients and their cancer.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether oral Ribavirin is safe and effective in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer, that have high levels of eIF4E.
This is a Phase 2, multicenter, open-label, noncomparative study to evaluate safety,efficacy and of single-agent EZN 2208 administered in patients with previously treated MBC. After discontinuation of study treatment, patients will receive care as considered appropriate by the investigator. Patients will continue to be followed for disease progression, subsequent anticancer therapy, and survival.
The purpose of this study is to determine the response rate by RECIST criteria of oral dichloroacetate in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic and pretreated breast and non-small cell lung cancer.
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.
