Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Stereotactic body radiation therapy delivers fewer, tightly-focused, high doses of radiation therapy to all known sites of cancer in the body while minimizing radiation exposure of surrounding normal tissue.
This phase I/IB trial studies the side effects and best dose of eribulin mesylate and everolimus in treating patients with breast cancer that does not have estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, or large amounts of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein (triple-negative) and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Eribulin mesylate and everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase 0/II trial studies the effect of carbon C 14 oxaliplatin in tumor tissue and blood and the side effects and how well oxaliplatin works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer. DNA analysis of tumor tissue and blood samples from patients receiving carbon C 14 oxaliplatin may help doctors predict how well patients will respond to treatment with oxaliplatin. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ganetespib when given with paclitaxel, trastuzumab and pertuzumab in treating patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of gemcitabine hydrochloride and mifepristone when given together with carboplatin in treating patients with breast cancer that is metastatic or cannot be removed by surgery or recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Steroid hormones can cause the growth of cancer cells. Hormone therapy using mifepristone may fight breast and ovarian cancer by lowering the amount of steroid hormone the body makes. Giving carboplatin and gemcitabine hydrochloride together with mifepristone may be an effective treatment for breast, ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to see whether a combination of two different drugs - trastuzumab-MCC-DM1 (T-DM1) and BYL719 is safe, and if it might be effective in treating metastatic breast cancer. T-DM1 is a type of drug that contains an antibody (trastuzumab) linked to chemotherapy. The antibody in T-DM1 targets a marker on breast cancer cells called HER2, which allows the drug to go directly to the cancer cells. The use of T-DM1 in this study is considered standard treatment for the type of cancer in this study. Participants in this study have already been treated with trastuzumab and chemotherapy in the past, and their cancer has gotten worse in spite of those treatments. BYL719 is an oral drug (taken by mouth) that the researchers think may help T-DM1 to work better.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well mucoadhesive oral wound rinse works in preventing and treating stomatitis in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)- or progesterone receptor (PR)-positive metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer that cannot be removed by surgery receiving everolimus. Mucoadhesive oral wound rinse may help prevent symptoms of stomatitis, or mouth sores, in patients receiving everolimus.
This pilot trial studies propranolol hydrochloride in treating patients with locally recurrent or metastatic solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. Propranolol hydrochloride may slow the growth of tumor cells by blocking the use of hormones by the tumor cells.
This pilot clinical trial studies comprehensive gene sequencing in guiding treatment recommendations in patients with metastatic or recurrent solid tumors. Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may improve the ability to plan treatment.
The standard diagnostic workup for recurrent or metastatic breast cancer includes biopsy and determination of tumor estrogen status according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network and European Society for Medical Oncology. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is currently the most commonly used method for determining ER status. A investigational imaging tracer named 16-alpha-[18F]-fluoro-17-beta-estradiol, or [18F]fluoroestradiol ([18F]FES) acts similarly in vivo to estradiol and binds to estrogen receptors (ERs). Previous studies in human have shown the efficacy of [18F]FES PET in detecting ER positive breast cancer without any observed toxicity. The investigators hypothesized that [18F]FES PET imaging can noninvasively assess ER status in recurrent or metastatic breast cancer lesion . In this study, a positive and negative percent agreement between IHC and [18F]FES will be determined.
