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.
NCT01225328
This project will develop and preliminarily evaluate an intervention to assist young-middle adult rural breast cancer survivors to overcome functional impairments related to their cancer treatment. Younger breast cancer survivors (below age 60) have ongoing family, social and vocational responsibilities and recreational interests and are at increased risk of developing long-term difficulties performing these valued activities (participation restrictions). Rural cancer survivors are medically underserved and due to distance and geographic isolation face significant barriers to accessing traditional rehabilitation services. Alternative rehabilitation approaches are sorely needed for this population. Based on previous research with cancer and other medical populations a working draft of a treatment manual using a telephone-delivered Behavioral Activation and Problem Solving (BA/PS) intervention has been designed. Prior to testing the intervention in a randomized clinical trial, additional work must be completed. The specific aims of this study are to a. refine the BA/PS treatment manual, b. develop and apply treatment integrity measures for the BA/PS manual, c. assess participation restrictions and associated outcomes, d. preliminarily assess the immediate and maintenance effects of BA/PS, and e. examine mediators and moderators of BA/PS effects based on our "Self Regulation" model of functional recovery. 188 young-middle adult breast cancer survivors will be screened for participation restrictions following cancer treatment and 40 survivors with participation restrictions will receive BA/PS delivered by phone. BA/PS participants will be assessed for treatment effectiveness and interviewed regarding their experiences during treatment to provide information for refining the manual. The long-term objective of this line of research is to develop effective and feasible treatments for the medical and psychosocial consequences of cancer and its treatment in medically underserved cancer survivors (e.g., rural populations).
NCT00751868
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of Ixabepilone (4 cycles) administered every 14 days with the support of G-CSF sequentially to the combination of Fluorouracil, Epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide (4 cycles) administered every 14 days with the support of G-CSF. To evaluate the efficacy (in terms of pathologic Complete Responses in the breast and in the axilla), the dose reduction rate, the median treatment delay and the discontinuation rate due to toxicity of the regimen.
NCT01553097
This longitudinal project will investigate a common complaint of women who receive chemotherapy for breast cancer- cognitive difficulty. The relationships of fatigue, stress, and depression to cognitive difficulties will be examined. The findings should lead to interventions to decrease the effects of these problematic side effects.
NCT00002870
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs to kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known if high dose chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation is more effective than standard therapy for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of high dose chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation with that of standard therapy in treating women who have locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00849758
The goal is to study the biology of aging in breast cancer patients, and to study the impact of chemotherapy on aging related blood biomarkers.
NCT00284336
This is an open label Phase II study in elderly patients (65y or older) with early breast cancer who are candidate for adjuvant chemotherapy. A scheme with liposomal doxorubicin (Caelyx) and cyclophosphamide (endoxan) will be used. The aim is to study the cardiac effects of liposomal doxorubicin with new non-invasive techniques, ie strain rate imaging, classical echocardiography, and special blood tests measuring troponin I and BNP.
NCT00983684
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a single fraction of radiotherapy given intra-operatively and targeted to the tissues at the highest risk of local recurrence is equivalent to standard post-operative external beam radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery in women with early stage breast cancer in terms of local relapse within the treated breast.
NCT02052115
Overweight and physically inactive breast cancer survivors are at increased risk of breast cancer recurrence and mortality. Cancer treatment-related changes that likely mediate weight loss and exercise success include the long term effects such as fatigue, psychological distress and impaired executive (cognitive) function. This study will explore the variability in how breast cancer survivors respond to a behavioral weight loss intervention. The primary objectives include determining the degree to which success with a behavioral weight loss intervention in overweight breast cancer survivors is explained by measures of executive function as measured with task performance at 6 and 12 months and associated brain function imaging (fMRI), collected at baseline only.Additionally, the study is designed to determine the degree to which selected measures of cancer-related symptoms account for variance in the success of breast cancer survivors at 6 and 12 months following entry into a behavioral weight loss and exercise intervention.
NCT01582685
The investigators hypothesize that exercise in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors will result in an increase in the plasma concentrations of angiostatic factors and a decrease in the plasma concentrations of angiogenic factors. Exercise is expected to result in a circulating angiostatic phenotype that inhibits adipose tissue mass, growth of breast cancer tumor, growth of microscopic residual disease after breast cancer resection, decreases rates of local-regional recurrence, decreases rates of distant recurrence, and increases survival.
NCT02001519
Achievement of pathologic complete response is important prognosticator to predict long term outcome in triple negative cancer. The efficacy of adding 4 cycles of cisplatin (CDDP4) is to be investigated whether addtional pathologic complete response is achieved for those triple negative breast cancer patients who recieved 4 cycles of adriamycin with cyclophosphamide(AC4) but did not reach clinical complete response during the course of neoadjuvant therapy.
NCT00459771
Evaluating the effect of the angiotensin II-receptor (AT1) blocker candesartan vs placebo in prevention of trastuzumab-associated cardiotoxicity in patients with primary breast cancer treated with trastuzumab.
NCT02041338
There are no standard neodjuvant regimens adapted according to the different subtypes of breast cancer. This is a phase 2, randomized study to evaluate several regimens in different subtypes of breast cancer.
NCT00333229
Breast cancer and osteoporosis are two of the most frequent diseases in women. Estrogen may be associated with bone loss and the risk of breast cancer because of its potent effects on the mitotic activity of breast epithelium and on bone turnover. This study is will assess the safety and efficacy of Zoledronic acid 4 mg, given every 3 months over 24 months, in improving bone mineral density in premenopausal women with hormone receptor negative breast cancer and adjuvant chemotherapeutic treatment compared to placebo. This study is not recruiting patients in the United States.
NCT01238029
The purpose of the study is to investigate safety and efficiency of the triple combination of capecitabine, lapatinib and vinorelbine in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
NCT01669265
This is a retrospective, multicentric cohort study of patient cases with cT1-3, N0 early breast cancer, who previously had intraoperative sentinel lymph node (SLN) evaluation by one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) assay with a complete axillary dissection. The aim of the present study is to assess the intraoperative positive SLN total tumor load (TTL) obtained from the OSNA assay and to determine whether this TTL predicts non-SLN metastasis in patients with clinically node-negative early-stage breast cancer.
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.
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
NCT00068588
This phase II trial is studying how well giving GTI-2040 together with capecitabine works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. GTI-2040 may help capecitabine kill more tumor cells by making them more sensitive to the drug
NCT00448279
This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy and safety of continuation or discontinuation of Herceptin treatment in combination with 2nd line chemotherapy, in patients with HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer whose condition has progressed on 1st line chemotherapy plus Herceptin. Patients will be randomized either to continue or discontinue Herceptin treatment (2mg/kg iv infusion weekly, or 6mg/kg iv infusion every 3 weeks) while receiving 2nd line chemotherapy of the investigator's choice. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
