NCT00053898
RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast cancer cells. Tamoxifen may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen. Anastrozole may fight breast cancer by decreasing estrogen production. It is not yet known whether anastrozole is more effective than tamoxifen in preventing the recurrence of breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying anastrozole to see how well it works compared to tamoxifen in preventing the recurrence of breast cancer in postmenopausal women with ductal carcinoma in situ who are undergoing lumpectomy and radiation therapy.
NCT01712009
The primary objective of the study is to estimate the difference in bone pain between breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and pegfilgrastim and either no prophylactic intervention, prophylactic naproxen, or prophylactic loratadine.
NCT00015886
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 combination chemotherapy in treating women who have breast cancer that is metastatic or cannot be treated with surgery.
NCT02168179
This pilot clinical trial studies KeraStat Skin Therapy in treating radiation dermatitis in patients with newly diagnosed stage 0-IIIA breast cancer. Radiation dermatitis is an itchy, painful skin rash that can occur following treatment with radiation. KeraStat Skin Therapy may be a better treatment for radiation dermatitis.
NCT02331212
This research trial studies the role of a substance called hyaluronic acid in causing the growth of cancer stem cells in the bones of patients with breast cancer. Cancer stem cells are a type of cancer cells that may cause the cancer to spread to other parts of the body. Studying samples of blood and bone marrow from patients and animal models in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about whether hyaluronic acid affects the growth of cancer in the bones.
NCT03407430
Purpose: To evaluate the preventative effects of pregabalin on pegfilgrastim-induced bone pain in cycle 1. Because granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptors are found at nerve endings which modulate the pain signal, blocking this with pregabalin is theorized to prevent the occurrence of this adverse effect. Participants: Patients will be at least 18 years of age with either a diagnosis of a non-myeloid hematologic malignancy scheduled to initiate a cycle of chemotherapy that requires prophylactic use of a G-CSF, or with a diagnosis of breast cancer scheduled to initiate dose-dense doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide chemotherapy or docetaxel/cyclophosphamide that requires prophylactic use of a G-CSF. Procedures (methods): This is a randomized (1:1), single center, placebo-controlled, double blind, crossover phase II study. The primary objective is to compare the proportion of patients who have an increase in pain score of ≥3 from baseline in cycle 1 between Arm A (pregabalin) and Arm B (placebo). In consultation with the treating physician, the PI will determine what day pegfilgrastim will be initiated in each eligible, consented patient. Pregabalin or placebo will begin 4 days prior to pegfilgrastim administration, and continue for 7 additional days starting the day of pegfilgrastim administration.
NCT02167932
This study will look at whether or not participating in a physical activity intervention during chemotherapy for breast cancer can prevent a marker of aging called p16 from having a large increase after chemotherapy.
NCT00398567
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of HKI-272 (neratinib) in combination with trastuzumab in patients with advanced breast cancer.
NCT03076372
MM-310 is a liposomal formulation of a docetaxel prodrug that targets the EphA2 receptor on cancer cells. Docetaxel is an approved chemotherapeutic drug.This study is a Phase 1 open-label study of MM-310 in patients with solid tumors. In the first part of the study, MM-310 will be assessed as a monotherapy until a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is established. After an MTD of MM-310 as a monotherapy is established, an expansion cohort and MM-310 in combination with other therapies will be assessed.
NCT00706030
The purpose of this study is to identify the highest tolerable dose of neratinib (HKI-272) in combination with vinorelbine and to assess the safety of the combination of the two drugs as well as to obtain preliminary information on whether the combination of the two drugs has any effect on solid tumors. The study will be conducted in two parts. In the first part, testing will be done on up to 12 subjects to determine the highest tolerable dose of HKI-272 and vinorelbine in patients with advanced solid tumors. In the second part of the study, approximately 60 additional subjects with metastatic ErbB-2-positive breast cancer, with no prior exposure to lapatinib, are planned to be added to better define the tolerability and preliminary activity of HKI-272 in combination with vinorelbine. Up to 20 additional subjects with ErbB-2-positive breast cancer with prior lapatinib exposure are also planned to be enrolled in part 2 for exploratory analyses.
NCT01091454
This phase II trial studies how well brostallicin and cisplatin work in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and does not have estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, or large amounts of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) on its cells (triple-negative). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as brostallicin and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from spreading.
NCT00009945
RATIONALE: Clodronate may be effective in preventing the spread of cancer to the bones and other parts of the body. It is not yet known whether clodronate is more effective alone or combined with chemotherapy and /or hormonal therapy in preventing metastatic breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of clodronate with or without chemotherapy and /or hormonal therapy in preventing metastases in women who have stage I or stage II breast cancer.
NCT01992250
This study examines the use of cryoablation as an alternative to surgery in the treatment of early stage invasive breast cancer. The hypothesis is that cryoablation will complete ablation and destroy the tumor in a selected population of women who may otherwise be adequately treated with surgery.
NCT02670577
The scope of this study is to measure the impact of MammaPrint on treatment in Hormone Receptor (HR)-positive HER2-negative breast cancer patients. In addition, the impact of MammaPrint on treatment in patients with T1a/T1b and pN0/pN1 (up to 1 node), Triple Negative or HER2-positive tumors will be assessed.
NCT00728949
The purpose of this study is to determine whether IMC-A12 offers increased progression-free survival (PFS) associated with IMC-A12 monotherapy and IMC-A12 in combination with an antiestrogen therapy in patients with hormone receptor positive advanced or metastatic breast cancer that have experienced disease progression on antiestrogen therapy.
NCT00741260
This is a world wide phase 1/2, open-label, study of neratinib in combination with capecitabine, conducted in 2 parts. In Part 1, 3 to 9 subjects with solid tumors will be enrolled in each dose group of the combination of neratinib and capecitabine. Each subject will participate in only 1 dose group. Additional subjects may be included at any dose level to further assess the safety and tolerability at that dose level. In Part 2, up to 60 subjects with erbB-2 positive metastatic breast cancer will receive treatment with the combination of neratinib and capecitabine at the maximum tolerated dose level, as determined in Part 1. In addition 20 subjects with prior lapatinib exposure will be enrolled in Part 2. Depending on the safety and activity profile observed during the dose escalation phase, the dose selected for Part 2 may be adjusted, if appropriate. In case one test article of the combination is discontinued due to intolerance the other test article can be administered alone. The primary objectives of Part 1 are to assess the safety and tolerability, and to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of neratinib in combination with capecitabine in subjects with advanced solid tumors. The primary objective of Part 2 of this study is to confirm the MTD determined in Part 1. The secondary objective of Part 1 is to collect information on preliminary anti-tumor activity of the combination of neratinib and capecitabine. Secondary objectives for Part 2 are to collect pharmacokinetic information and to obtain additional efficacy data, such as Objective Response Rate, for subjects with erbB-2 positive breast cancer treated at the MTD of neratinib + capecitabine.

Effectiveness will be determined by the rate of ipsilateral breast tumour recurrence. General objective is to improve the convenience and quality of life of female patients who receive breast irradiation.
NCT01520389
This study is a Phase 1 and pharmacologic open-labeled dose-escalation trial using a "3+3" design, evaluating MM-151 at varying dose levels and frequencies, and subsequently in combination with irinotecan.
NCT01026142
This randomized, two-arm study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a combination of trastuzumab and capecitabine with or without pertuzumab in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer. The study population consisted of female patients, whose disease had progressed during or following previous trastuzumab therapy for metastatic disease. All patients in Arm A and Arm B received trastuzumab (8 mg/kg iv as loading dose and then 6 mg/kg iv every 3 weeks thereafter) and capecitabine oral twice daily for 14 days every 3 weeks (1250 mg/m2 twice daily in Arm A and 1000 mg/m2 twice daily in Arm B). In addition, patients in Arm B received pertuzumab (840 mg iv as loading dose and then 420 mg iv thereafter) every 3 weeks. Study treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
NCT01698281
This is a therapeutic exploratory Phase 2 study evaluating AEZS-108 compared to standard single agent cytotoxic chemotherapy (SSCC) as measured by the median time of progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with chemotherapy refractory triple negative (ER/PR/HER2-negative) LHRH-R positive metastatic breast cancer.
