Filter by:The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and immune response to a vaccine used in patients previously treated for HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) positive breast cancer.
This clinical trial studies a supportive education program for Latina breast cancer survivors. The Bilingual Breast Cancer Education Intervention (BBCEI) may help Latina breast cancer survivors know what to expect after completing breast cancer treatment and prepare them to cope with cancer related survivorship issues
This phase I clinical trial studies the side effects of vaccine therapy and cyclophosphamide in treating patients with stage II-III breast cancer or stage II-IV ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving vaccine therapy and cyclophosphamide may kill more tumor cells.
This pilot clinical trial studies mechanical stimulation in preventing bone density loss in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Mechanical stimulation may limit, prevent, or reverse bone loss, increase muscle and cardiac performance, and improve overall health
This phase II trial studies how well carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel before surgery work in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that is inflammatory or has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best schedule of vaccine therapy with or without sirolimus in treating patients with cancer-testis antigen (NY-ESO-1) expressing solid tumors. Biological therapies, such as sirolimus, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Vaccines made from a person's white blood cells mixed with tumor proteins may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells that express NY-ESO-1. Infusing the vaccine directly into a lymph node may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether vaccine therapy works better when given with or without sirolimus in treating solid tumors.
This trial will find the best dose of mifepristone when given together with nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) based on the side effects of the two drugs in patients with advanced breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive nab-paclitaxel with or without mifepristone during the first treatment cycle. After the first cycle, all patients will receive nab-paclitaxel with mifepristone until their disease worsens or they experience an unacceptable side effect. This study will test up to 4 doses of mifepristone in combination with nab-paclitaxel. The study will first test the lowest dose in a small group of patients and if they do not have bad side effects, higher doses will be tested.
This phase II trial is studying how well alkaline water works in reducing skin toxicity in women with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Alkaline water may reduce radiation therapy-related skin toxicity in patients with breast cancer.
This clinical trial studies vascular and cognitive assessments in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy after surgery. Learning about vascular and cognitive function may help plan treatment and improve the quality of life of breast cancer patients. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) may help study the side effects of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients and allow doctors to plan better treatment
This randomized pilot trial studies omega-3 fatty acid in preventing joint symptoms in patients with stage I-III breast cancer receiving anastrozole, exemestane, or letrozole. Omega-3 fatty acid supplement may lessen or prevent joint stiffness or pain in patients receiving hormone therapy for breast cancer.
