View clinical trials related to Stage IIIC Breast Cancer.
Filter by:This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with trastuzumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic breast canceror breast cancer that has recurred in the chest wall. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vorinostat and trastuzumab also may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving vorinostat together with trastuzumab may be a better way to block tumor growth.
This phase II trial studies how well giving lapatinib ditosylate together with tamoxifen citrate works in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes or to other areas of the body and did not respond to previous treatment with tamoxifen citrate. Lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using tamoxifen citrate may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Sometimes when tamoxifen citrate is given, it does not stop the growth of tumor cells. The tumor is said to be resistant to tamoxifen citrate. Giving lapatinib ditosylate together with tamoxifen citrate may reduce drug resistance and allow the tumor cells to be killed.
This phase II trial is studying how well tanespimycin works in treating women with refractory locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as tanespimycin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of alvespimycin hydrochloride in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as alvespimycin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
This phase II trial is studying how well giving tipifarnib together with fulvestrant works as second-line therapy in treating postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive inoperable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has progressed after previous first-line endocrine therapy. Tipifarnib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using fulvestrant may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen. Combining tipifarnib with fulvestrant may kill tumor cells that did not respond to first-line therapy.
This randomized phase I trial is studying the side effects of celecoxib in treating postmenopausal women with invasive breast cancer who are scheduled to undergo surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth.
This phase I trial is studying how well ipilimumab works after allogeneic stem cell transplant in treating patients with persistent or progressive cancer. Monoclonal antibodies can locate cancer cells and either kill them or deliver cancer-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Tipifarnib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Combining tipifarnib with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide may kill more tumor cells. Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining tipifarnib with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide in treating women who have locally advanced breast cancer.
This randomized phase III studies how well two different regimens of paclitaxel with or without trastuzumab works in treating patients with or without HER-2/Neu breast cancer that is inoperable, recurrent, or metastatic. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known what regimen of paclitaxel is more effective with or without trastuzumab in treating patients with breast cancer.
