NCT01419197
This randomized, multicenter, 2-arm, open-label study (TH3RESA) will evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in comparison with treatment of the physician's choice in participants with metastatic or unresectable locally advanced/recurrent human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive either trastuzumab emtansine 3.6 mg/kg intravenously every 21 days or treatment of the physician's choice. Participants continue to receive study treatment until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. This study is also known under Roche study protocol number BO25734.
NCT00287898
RATIONALE: Genetic counseling may work as well over the telephone as it does in-person. It is not yet known whether genetic counseling by telephone is more effective than standard (in-person) genetic counseling in women at risk of carrying the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying telephone-based genetic counseling to see how well it works compared to standard (in-person) genetic counseling in women at risk of carrying the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation.
NCT01007942
This phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled multinational study will assess the combination everolimus, vinorelbine, and trastuzumab compared to the combination vinorelbine and trastuzumab with respect to progressive-free survival and over survival in HER2/neu positive women with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are resistant to trastuzumab and have been pre-treated with a taxane.
NCT00619762
This prospective, multicenter, open-label study will assess the clinical outcomes of the LTM product in three planned analyses. The primary objective of this study is to prospectively assess the clinical outcomes associated with the use of LTM in two-stage (expander then permanent implant) immediate post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.
NCT01385137
RATIONALE: An omega-3 fatty acid-enriched nutritional supplement may help improve muscle and bone pain and stiffness caused by hormone therapy in patients with breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying omega-3 fatty acid supplements in treating muscle and bone pain and stiffness in patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer receiving hormone therapy.
NCT01120561

NCT00282529
The proposed research is designed to establish lymphedema incidence rates for a varied population of breast cancer patients. Patients with breast preservation, mastectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, axillary dissection and radiation therapy will be included with the goal of determining the impact that each of these treatments has on development of lymphedema. Establishing incidence in these populations is crucial to the remainder of the study. We conduct a two phase study. The first phase will use arm measurements, a symptom survey (The Lymphedema and Breast Questionnaire), a functional survey (Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire), and operative and pathology information to create a simple screening tool to predict the development of lymphedema. Currently, lymphedema is only diagnosed after arm swelling develops. The goal of the screening tool is to identify those patients at significantly increased risk for development of lymphedema as compared to the general population of breast cancer survivors. Phase 2 of the study will test a lymphedema prevention strategy in a high risk population. The goal of this phase is to reduce the incidence of lymphedema in those patients that have undergone an axillary node dissection with radiation therapy by using a combination of education, a compression sleeve and decongestive exercises. If prevention is successful, the development of a screening tool becomes even more important to identify those patients that should undergo a prevention regimen.
NCT01572727
This study evaluated whether the addition of daily BKM120 to weekly paclitaxel was effective and safe in treating patients with HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
NCT01075100
Ixabepilone adds significantly to the antitumor effectiveness of capecitabine in both ER+ and triple negative breast cancer. Ixabepilone has substantial antitumor activity in taxane-refractory patients and novel combinations are needed in this poor prognosis population. Carboplatin in combination with gemcitabine or paclitaxel has activity in metastatic breast cancer (MBC); there is also demonstrated activity of the gemcitabine/carboplatin combination in the ER+ versus triple negative subsets. A Phase I study of ixabepilone plus carboplatin in solid tumor patients demonstrated the safety of this combination at the doses and schedule proposed for this Phase II trial (BMS data on file).
NCT00296036
RATIONALE: Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and topical urea/lactic acid-based cream may prevent or lessen hand-foot syndrome caused by chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether giving pyridoxine with or without topical urea/lactic acid-based cream is more effective than topical urea/lactic acid-based cream alone or a placebo in preventing hand-foot syndrome. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying pyridoxine and topical urea/lactic acid-based cream to see how well they work compared with giving pyridoxine together with a placebo, giving topical urea/lactic acid-based cream together with a placebo, or giving two placebos in preventing hand-foot syndrome in patients who are receiving capecitabine for breast cancer or other cancer.
NCT00662129
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Giving combination chemotherapy together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving paclitaxel albumin-stabilized nanoparticle formulation and gemcitabine together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00079118
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving irinotecan together with docetaxel works in treating patients with refractory metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00005963
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining docetaxel and carboplatin in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00006007
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining LY231514 plus gemcitabine in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer.
NCT01513083
This open-label, parallel group study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of trastuzumab emtansine in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and normal or reduced hepatic function. Patients will receive trastuzumab emtansine intravenously on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
NCT01304797
This study is a Phase 1 and pharmacologic open-label dose-escalation trial using a "3+3" design. Successive cohorts of three or more patients will be treated at escalating doses until a maximum tolerated dose is identified. Once the maximum tolerated dose is identified, an Expansion Cohort will be enrolled at that dose to further characterize safety and pharmacologic endpoints. Additional arms will be enrolled to explore the combination of MM-302 with trastuzumab or trastuzumab plus cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced HER2 positive breast cancer.
NCT00960960
This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase Ib dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of oral (PO) pictilisib administered with letrozole or intravenous (IV) paclitaxel with and without IV bevacizumab or IV trastuzumab in participants with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. The study consists of three parts. Part 1 (pictilisib will be administered in 21+7 schedule along with paclitaxel and/or bevacizumab), Part 2 (pictilisib will be administered in 5+2 schedule along with paclitaxel and/or bevacizumab or trastuzumab) and Part 3 (pictilisib will be administered in combination with letrozole). Part 1 and Part 2 consists of two stages; a dose escalation stage and a cohort-expansion stage.
NCT01209195
