111 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
To provide access to palbociclib to post-menopausal women with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer who are deemed appropriate for letrozole therapy (Canada: first-line patients only).
The purpose of this study is to compare two hypnotic interventions for Black women with advanced cancer pain in preparation for a well-powered phase III study. The investigators plan to enroll 30 adult Black women with advanced cancer pain in a 2-arm pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). The primary aim will be to evaluate the feasibility of conducting the 2-arm clinical trial. It is hypothesized that at least 75% of participants in both study arms will complete study requirements. The secondary aims will be to evaluate the participant's experience with the intervention and to determine the effect size of the intervention on pain severity.
A Phase 1 Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of AZD9833 Alone or in Combination in Women with ER Positive, HER2 Negative Advanced Breast Cancer (SERENA-1)
To determine whether treatment with alpelisib plus fulvestrant prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) compared to fulvestrant and placebo in men and postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2)-negative advanced breast cancer, who received prior treatment with an aromatase Inhibitor (AI) either as (neo)adjuvant or for advanced disease.
The main aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding ribociclib to fulvestrant in men and postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.
This is a multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, phase I study
The primary purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of ribociclib, as measured by progression free survival (PFS), in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer who received no prior treatment for advanced disease.
Through a patient participation aid (PPA) the investigators hope to improve the psychosocial well-being of women diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer by empowering them to be active participants in clinical encounters.
About a third of patients with breast cancer are usually treated by hormone pills called tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors. Aromatase inhibitors are drugs that stop female hormone production. Female hormone or estrogen is an important hormone for the growth of breast cancer cells. Letrozole is one of the aromatase inhibitors that is approved by the FDA and has been used to treat breast cancer since 1997. However, hormone pills usually work for about 6-10 months in most patients. Later on, breast cancer will start to grow again. This condition when hormone pills or endocrine therapy no longer work is called "endocrine resistant" breast cancer. The scientists here at University of Maryland have discovered how these cancer cells can become resistant to hormone pills. In our laboratory tests, the investigators found that lapatinib and everolimus can reverse this resistance and make letrozole work again. However, it is not known if the drugs can reverse the resistance in humans. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the combination of letrozole, lapatinib, and everolimus is effective in women with breast cancer when hormone pills no longer work. Lapatinib is an anti-cancer drug that is already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is the standard of care for the treatment of a particular type of breast cancer called human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. HER2 is a protein involved in the growth of some cancer cells. This study will also include patients with HER2-negative breast cancer. This means that the cancer cells in these patients do not depend on the HER2 protein. The use of lapatinib in these patients is considered experimental. Everolimus is also an anti-cancer drug that is approved by the FDA for kidney cancer. Initial studies in mice and later studies in women with breast cancer have shown that everolimus may also slow the growth of breast cancer. The use of everolimus is experimental in this study.
This study aim was to determine the safety and efficacy of R1507 in combination with letrozole in patients with advanced breast cancer. In the first part of the study a cohort of patients with advanced breast cancer received letrozole 2.5mg po daily in combination with R1507 16mg/kg every 3 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of entinostat in combination with exemestane in the treatment of advanced breast cancer.

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
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of PTK787/ZK222584 and Letrozole when given in combination, and to see what effects they have on breast cancer that has metastasized.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Faslodex (fulvestrant) to Nolvadex (tamoxifen) as first-line treatment for postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer. Patients will be treated until disease progression or until the investigator has determined that treatment is not in the best interest of the patient, whichever occurs first.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Irinotecan may help capecitabine kill more tumor cells by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of irinotecan and capecitabine in treating women with advanced breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving them at different times, may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase I trial to compare the effectiveness of two regimens of docetaxel combined with doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide in treating women who have advanced breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of Faslodex (fulvestrant) to Aromasin (exemestane) in hormone receptor positive postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer. Patients will be treated until disease progression or until the investigator has determined that treatment is not in the best interest of the patient, whichever occurs first.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. Combining chemotherapy with monoclonal antibody therapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of liposomal doxorubicin and trastuzumab in treating women who have advanced breast cancer.
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. It is not yet known if paclitaxel is more effective with or without gemcitabine for advanced breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel with or without gemcitabine in treating women who have advanced breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Antineoplastons are naturally-occurring substances that may also be made in the laboratory. Antineoplastons may inhibit the growth of cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well antineoplaston therapy works in treating women with stage IV breast cancer that has not responded to standard therapy.
RATIONALE: Bone marrow transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of repeated use of high-dose chemotherapy plus bone marrow transplantation and samarium 153 in treating women who have stage IV breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective than docetaxel for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel or docetaxel in treating women with stage IIIB or metastatic breast cancer.
Preclinical data has demonstrated that entinostat (SNDX-275) can enhance fulvestrant sensitivity in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in animal models. The addition of entinostat to fulvestrant will provide clinical benefit to patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast when compared to fulvestrant plus placebo. Also, based on previous data, patients exposed to entinostat who demonstrate an elevated level of protein lysine acetylation will have an improved efficacy outcome.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as liposomal doxorubicin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving them before surgery may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving liposomal doxorubicin together with docetaxel before surgery and to see how well it works in treating women with locally advanced breast cancer that can be removed by surgery.
Bevacizumab is an angiogenesis inhibitor which means it works to stop blood vessel formation in tumors. Without new blood vessels, the growth of a tumor is slowed. Chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells more directly. This study will evaluate: * How bevacizumab, given with chemotherapy before surgery, and then bevacizumab given alone after surgery, will affect locally advanced breast tumors * Side effects from adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy * Whether adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy for breast cancer will affect the heart * If receiving bevacizumab will have any effect on how patients recover from surgery * Side effects of the combinations of drugs used in this study
RATIONALE: AZD2171 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving AZD2171 together with combination chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed and may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well giving AZD2171 together with combination chemotherapy works in treating women with locally advanced breast cancer.
This study is designed to evaluate the impact of Zometa on clearance of bone marrow micrometastases; the protective effect on chemotherapy-induced loss of bone mineral density; and quality of life in women undergoing treatment for locally advanced breast cancer.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if the investigational drug is able to reduce/shrink advanced breast cancer tumors in patients who no longer benefit from anthracyclines, taxanes and capecitabine.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if RPR109881 is a better treatment than capecitabine (Xeloda) for advanced breast cancer in patients that no longer benefit from docetaxel and/or paclitaxel.
