NCT01004081
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 2 dosing regimens of BIIB021 in combination with exemestane in women whose HR+ breast cancer had progressed following treatment with a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor (AI).
NCT01281163
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of lapatinib ditosylate and Akt inhibitor MK2206 in treating women with metastatic breast cancer. Lapatinib ditosylate and Akt inhibitor MK2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
NCT00632489
This single center Phase I dose escalation trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of LBH589 when combined with capecitabine and lapatinib in three parts. Part 1 will determine the maximum tolerated doses (MTD) of LBH589 when combined with capecitabine. Parts 2 and 3 will be limited to locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer patients, ICH 3+ overexpression or FISH amplification documented locally. Part 2 will evaluate the safety of the MTD of LBH589 determined in Part 1 when paired with lapatinib 1000 mg by mouth (PO) daily. Parts 2 and 3 will be limited to locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer patients, ICH 3+ overexpression or FISH amplification documented locally. Part 3 will evaluate the tolerability and effectiveness of the triplet combination, LBH589, capecitabine and lapatinib in breast cancer patients.
NCT01149356
This partially randomized phase I trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of RO4929097 when given together with exemestane and to see how well it works compared to exemestane alone in treating premenopausal and postmenopausal patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using exemestane may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. RO4929097 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving exemestane together with RO4929097 may kill more breast cancer cells.
NCT00894504
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.
NCT00951054
The purpose of this study is to determine whether NK012 is safe and effective in the treatment of advanced and metastatic triple negative breast cancer.
NCT00821886
In this phase II trial the investigators propose to evaluate ixabepilone in combination with carboplatin and trastuzumab as neoadjuvant therapy in locally advanced breast cancer patients. Patients with early stage, HER2-positive breast cancer will receive six cycles of neoadjuvant treatment with ixabepilone, carboplatin, and trastuzumab every three weeks prior to surgery; after surgery, patients will continue treatment with trastuzumab every three weeks until week 52. Concomitant with the post-operative trastuzumab treatment, patients with hormone receptor-positive tumors will receive anti-estrogen treatment. Also, after the completion of chemotherapy, patients may receive radiation treatment at the discretion of their physician.
NCT00825734
In this study, patients with metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer will receive treatment with ixabepilone and sorafenib until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. The Phase I portion of this study will determine the maximum tolerated doses (MTDs) of sorafenib and ixabepilone that may be used in combination for first- or second-line treatment of MBC. The MTDs identified in the Phase I portion of the study will be used in the Phase II portion which will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination of sorafenib and ixabepilone in patients who have received at least one prior chemotherapy treatment in either the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting or following one prior MBC chemotherapy in MBC patients who had not received prior adjuvant or neoadjuvant breast cancer chemotherapy. This will be one of the initial trials investigating the use of this treatment combination for MBC. This trial will be conducted under the leadership of the Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI) Oncology Research Consortium, a community-based, multi-center, clinical trial organization.
NCT01238952
The primary objective is to determine the maximum tolerated dose/recommended phase II dose of the combination regimen of NK012 and carboplatin in patients with advanced solid tumors.
NCT00336102
RATIONALE: Learning about thyroid dysfunction in patients with breast cancer may help plan treatment and may help patients live more comfortably. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how often thyroid dysfunction happens in women with newly diagnosed stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer who are planning to undergo chemotherapy compared to how often it happens in healthy volunteers.
NCT00924352
The primary objective for the Phase I portion of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and for the Phase II portion of the study is to evaluate progression free survival (PFS). Secondary objectives are response rate, clinical benefit rate, and overall toxicity.
NCT00095706
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combined treatment with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and bevacizumab (anti-VEGF antibody) in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00082095
The main purpose of this study is to compare treatment with either pegylated liposomal doxorubicin or capecitabine as first line chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer in women 60 years and older.
NCT00070252
Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of neoadjuvant tipifarnib combined with docetaxel and capecitabine in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors or stage IIIA or stage IIIB breast cancer. Tipifarnib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and capecitabine, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining tipifarnib with docetaxel and capecitabine may kill more tumor cells.
NCT00022074
RATIONALE: Gabapentin may be effective for the control of hot flashes. It is not yet known if gabapentin is effective in treating hot flashes. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of gabapentin in controlling hot flashes in women who have breast cancer.
NCT01104584
The purpose of this study is to look at the efficacy (how does it work) and safety of gadobutrol when used for obtaining MR images of both breasts.Women with a recent diagnosis of breast cancer by mammogram (X-ray examination of the breasts) may benefit from MRI of the breasts as MRI may detect additional breast cancers
NCT00452673
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and efficacy of Dasatinib in combination with Capecitabine for patients with advanced breast cancer, and who have received treatment with a taxane and an anthracycline
NCT01204801
The purpose of this randomized Phase III study is to determine whether preoperative focused microwave heat treatment and chemotherapy combined are more effective than preoperative chemotherapy alone in the treatment of large breast cancer tumors in the intact breast. Combining heat with chemotherapy before surgery might shrink the tumor so that it can be removed in a breast conserving surgery (lumpectomy) instead of a mastectomy.
NCT00391092
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of Avastin plus Herceptin/docetaxel, versus Herceptin/docetaxel alone, in patients with HER2 positive locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy for their metastatic disease. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either Avastin (15mg/kg iv q3weeks) + Herceptin (8mg/kg iv loading dose and 6mg/kg iv q3weeks maintenance) + docetaxel (100mg/m2 iv q3weeks) or Herceptin + docetaxel alone. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
NCT00704392
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and highest safe doses of XL647 in combination with XL147 in adults with solid tumors. XL647 is a small molecule that potently inhibits multiple receptor kinases, including EGFR, VEGFR2 (KDR), and ErbB2. XL147 is a new chemical entity that inhibits PI3 Kinase. Inactivation of PI3K has been shown to inhibit growth and induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in tumor cells.
