NCT00320710
Clinical trial in breast cancer patients with bone metastases pretreated for approximately 1 year with a standard zoledronic acid regimen. Looking at the continued effectiveness and safety of giving zoledronic acid every 4 weeks versus every 12 weeks given over 1 year. This study is prospective, double-blind, stratified, multi-center, and two-arm.
NCT01559194
The primary specific aim of this study was to determine if overweight and obese premenopausal women can lose weight and if long term weight loss impacts biomarkers associated with breast cancer risk.
NCT00006228
Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill breast cancer cells. Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of trastuzumab plus interleukin-2 in treating patients who have metastatic breast cancer that has not responded to previous trastuzumab therapy.
NCT00002564
RATIONALE: Dietary fat may be involved in the growth of cancer cells. Restricting dietary fat may help fight cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of a low fat diet in treating postmenopausal women who have stage I, stage II, or stage IIIA breast cancer that has been completely removed by surgery.
NCT00493636
The study is being conducted to compare progression-free survival in patients treated with sorafenib and gemcitabine/capecitabine versus patients treated with placebo and gemcitabine/capecitabine for locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer that has progressed during or following treatment with a bevacizumab-containing regimen.
NCT01038804
The purpose of this study is to evaluate survival, response rate, safety and tolerability of YM155 given in combination with docetaxel as first-line treatment in subjects with human epidermal growth factor 2 non-overexpressing (HER2 negative) metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00450866
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as epothilone B, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well epothilone B works in treating patients with CNS metastases from breast cancer.
NCT00077025
This study is being carried out to see if treatment with ZD1839 (Gefitinib) combined with Arimidex (Anastrozole) has improved efficacy over Arimidex alone in preventing progression of metastatic breast cancer.
NCT02209389
The OctavaPink test is indicated as an adjunct to mammography for breast cancer screening in asymptomatic women for whom screening or diagnostic mammography findings are normal or benign (BIRADS assessment category 1 or 2) and breast tissue is dense (BIRADS composition/density 3 or 4). The device is intended to increase breast cancer detection in the described patient population. Based upon the result of OctavaPink, the patient will be further evaluated by their physician.
NCT01839045
The major purpose of this study is to evaluate a laboratory developed test that measures multiple breast cancer-specific biomarker proteins in your blood samples. The biomarker results along with your personal medical profile will be evaluated to determine your risk for the presence of a malignancy in the breast as compared to your breast evaluation assessment conducted by your physician.
NCT00645333
New and better therapies for locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer are needed because, even if standard treatment is successful in shrinking the cancer, there is still a high chance that the cancer will recur. Recent research suggests that breast tumors have a small number of cells in them that are "breast cancer stem cells", which are very resistant to standard treatment. It is thought that the reason that many patients cannot be cured of their breast cancers is that the stem cells are unable to be killed and remain in the body after standard treatment. Laboratory research has shown that a new drug, MK-0752, can target stem cells and prevent tumor recurrences when the drug is combined with docetaxel, a chemotherapy drug commonly used to treat breast cancer. We know that MK-0752 is safe when given by itself to people. We do not know if treatment with MK-0752 and docetaxel combined is safe or if it will kill "breast cancer stem cells" in people with breast cancer. This clinical trial is being done to determine the safety of several doses of MK-0752 in combination with docetaxel. Preliminary data about the effectiveness of MK-0752 in combination with docetaxel will be collected. Also, tumor biopsy samples will be taken from some patients who have tumors that can be easily biopsied. The samples will be used to perform research tests to help determine if the "breast cancer stem cells" are being killed by the drug combination.
NCT00749931
The purpose of this study is to show that addition of device use to a routine breast cancer tumor excision procedure is beneficial and assists the surgeon in correctly determining the extent of excision.
NCT00284180
This research study involves the anti-cancer medication trastuzumab and the investigational drug vinflunine. The purpose of this trials is to see if trastuzumab and vinflunine used in combination or vinflunine alone is effective in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer
NCT00043017
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may help determine the effectiveness of chemotherapy in killing breast cancer and allow doctors to plan more effective treatment. PURPOSE: Diagnostic trial to study the effectiveness of MRI in monitoring tumor response in women who are receiving chemotherapy for stage III breast cancer.
NCT00258349
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.
NCT00312208
Primary objective : * To compare disease-free survival after treatment with docetaxel in combination with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide to doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel in operable adjuvant breast cancer HER2neu negative patients with positive axillary lymph nodes. Secondary objectives : * To compare toxicity and quality of life between the 2 above-mentioned arms. * To evaluate pathologic and molecular markers for predicting efficacy.
NCT00036985
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Microwave thermotherapy kills tumor cells by heating them to several degrees above body temperature. Combining chemotherapy with microwave thermotherapy before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy with or without microwave thermotherapy before surgery in treating women who have locally advanced breast cancer.
NCT00036998
RATIONALE: Microwave thermotherapy kills tumor cells by heating them to several degrees above body temperature. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of microwave thermotherapy before surgery to that of surgery alone in treating women who have stage I or stage II breast cancer.
NCT00516243
This randomized phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of defined green tea catechin extract in treating women with hormone receptor-negative stage I-III breast cancer. Green tea extract contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of breast cancer.
NCT00262067
This is a Phase III, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone in subjects with previously untreated metastatic breast cancer.
