234 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
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.
RATIONALE: Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Naltrexone may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Naltrexone may also stop the growth of breast cancer by impairing blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well naltrexone works in treating women with metastatic breast cancer that is no longer responsive to previous hormone therapy.
The goal of this interventional study is to optimize the protocol of FES PET/CT in Estrogen Receptor positive Breast cancer patients with Brain metastases. Patients will undergo MRI of the brain and FDG PET/CT brain as part of standard of care for radiation treatment planning. An additional 18F-FES PET/CT brain scan will be completed before this standard of care radiation treatment. Patients will be followed prospectively with clinical and MRI assessments per standard-of-care for a total of 12 months. Study Population: Patients with ER-positive breast cancer with biopsy proven or suspected new or recurrent brain metastases (based on standard of care MRI) planned for radiation treatment of brain lesions.
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab and tamoxifen with or without vorinostat work for the treatment of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy with tamoxifen may may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This trial is being done to find a drug combination to better control estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and reduce the number of pills taken.
This study will evaluate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, and biologic activity of giredestrant in participants with Stage I-III operable estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, untreated breast cancer.
This trial studies how well 68-Ga RM2 works with PET/MRI in imaging patients with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. 68-Ga-RM2 is an agent used in diagnostic imaging.
Eligible patients with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer will undergo a biopsy and be randomized to receive endocrine therapy (ET) versus endocrine therapy with palbociclib (PET) in a 1:2 ratio. After 1 cycle (28 days) another biopsy will be obtained, and both arms will receive avelumab (A) for 3 additional cycles. Patients will then undergo breast surgery.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of idasanutlin when given together with atezolizumab, and to see how well atezolizumab and cobimetinib or idasanutlin work in treating participants with stage IV estrogen-receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer, or ER+ breast cancer that has come back (recurrent) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cobimetinib and idasanutlin may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving atezolizumab with cobimetinib or atezolizumab with idasanutlin may work better in treating participants with estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer.
This study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) activity, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of GDC-9545 as a single agent and in combination with palbociclib and/or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist in participants with advanced or metastatic estrogen receptor (ER)-positive (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 \[HER2\]-negative) breast cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works when given together with endocrine therapy and palbociclib in treating postmenopausal patients with newly diagnosed stage IV estrogen receptor positive breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Fulvestrant blocks the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Letrozole lowers the amount of estrogen made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need estrogen to grow. Palbociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab, palbociclib, and letrozole or fulvestrant may be an effective treatment for patients with stage IV estrogen receptor positive breast cancer.
The investigators will establish a platform at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center to generate novel models of estrogen receptor alpha-positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer, which will be used for research studies to develop novel treatment strategies and dissect signaling pathways underlying drug sensitivity and resistance.
Patients will be treated in a dose escalation scheme to investigate a role for the addition of a statin in the treatment of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer. Patients will take oral rosuvastatin daily. The maximum number of patients evaluable for a DLT is 12. Dosing will be as follows: Cohort 1 - rosuvastatin 20mg, Cohort 2 - rosuvastatin 40mg. The patients will have a total of 4 blood draws and 4 breast biopsies. The breast biopsies will be collected to evaluate cholesterol metabolites and tumor microenvironment characteristics including gene expression profiling and metabolomics. Sampling will occur at study entry, week 4, week 8, and at the time of surgery in early stage patients or at week 16 for metastatic patients. Patients will begin endocrine therapy following the acquisition of week 4 samples (blood and tissue biopsy).
To determine the safety and tolerability of orally administered hydroxychloroquine with hormonal therapy. To assess the response rate of hydroxychloroquine in combination with hormonal therapy.
The primary objectives of this study are to characterize the safety and tolerability and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended dose for phase 2 study (RDP2) of alobresib as a monotherapy in participants with advanced solid tumors and lymphomas, and in combination with exemestane or fulvestrant in participants with advanced estrogen receptor positive breast cancer.
This is an open-label, dose-finding, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and evidence-of-activity study of GDC-0927 in postmenopausal women with locally advanced or metastatic Estrogen Receptor Positive (ER+) Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) breast cancer. The study will be conducted in two parts: Dose escalation and Dose expansion. During dose escalation, GDC-0927 will be administered orally as a single dose on Day -7 for PK evaluation during the lead-in period. Depending on safety and tolerability, participants will be assigned sequentially to escalating doses of GDC-0927 using standard 3+3 design. During dose expansion, there will be no PK week lead-in period. All participants will be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participant withdrawal of consent or study termination.
This study is a multi-institution, Phase Ia/Ib/IIa open-label, dose-finding, safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and proof-of-concept study of GDC-0810 as a single agent and in combination with palbociclib and/or LHRH agonist. The study is divided into 3 phases: Phase Ia, Phase Ib, and Phase IIa. During Phase Ia (dose escalation phase), GDC-0810 single agent will be administered orally on a continuous daily dosing regimen with a Day -7 lead-in period for single dose PK evaluation prior to the start of daily treatment. The incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) will be evaluated from Day -7 through the first cycle (28 days) of treatment (35 days total). Depending on safety and tolerability, participants will be assigned sequentially to escalating doses of GDC-0810 using standard 3 + 3 design. During Phase Ib (dose escalation and expansion phase), participants will receive GDC-0810 with palbociclib and/or LHRH agonist to determine the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) and assess the safety and tolerability of concomitant administration. During Phase IIa (dose expansion phase), participants previously treated with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) will be treated at the RP2D to further characterize the safety, PK, pharmacodynamics, and anti-tumor activity of GDC-0810.
This is a Phase II investigator-Initiated trial of the Investigational Drug, Ruxolitinib, in combination with Exemestane in patients with estrogen-receptor positive advanced breast cancer. The objective of this study is to determine the preliminary safety and efficacy of the combination of exemestane and Ruxolitinib (INCB018424).
This phase II trial studies the impact of a presurgical endocrine therapy, consisting of goserelin with letrozole or anastrozole on the treatment of premenopausal patients with stage II-III estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer. Endocrine therapy reduces the amount of estrogen in the body. E+ breast cancer require estrogen, so lower levels of estrogen may slow or stop cell growth. Giving goserelin together with letrozole or anastrozole before surgery may enhance the effectiveness of, or eliminate the need for, chemotherapy
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of Z-endoxifen hydrochloride in treating patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or has come back at or near the same place as the original tumor (locally recurrent). Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using Z-endoxifen hydrochloride may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by tumor cells.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well fulvestrant works with or without bortezomib in treating patients with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body and cannot be removed by surgery. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using fulvestrant may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen the body makes. Bortezomib may stop the growth of breast cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth or by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether fulvestrant is more effective with or without bortezomib in treating breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate fulvestrant in the preliminary stage of breast cancer treatment and assess the relationship between dose, exposure, degree of reduction in tumor markers, and efficacy in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor positive disease.
Breast cancer is not only the leading cause of cancer in women, but also the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. Estrogen receptor-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer is the most prevalent breast cancer subtype. Endocrine therapy is the mainstay of treatment; however, due to the varied nature of the disease, development of resistance to this therapeutic approach is very common in the metastatic setting. The purpose of this study is to see whether the effectiveness of elacestrant can be enhanced by combining it with a targeted agent such as a CDK4/6 inhibitor to treat patients with ER+/HER2- or metastatic breast cancer with prior exposure to a CDK4/6 inhibitor.
This protocol is a companion imaging study that will add FES-PET/CT imaging to the FORESEE trial at HCI. This study will establish the feasibility of using FES-PET/CT imaging to guide therapeutic decision making for functional precision oncology trials. The unique ability of FES-PET/CT to show absence of functional estrogen receptors throughout the entire body may improve confidence among research oncologists that an ER+ metastatic breast cancer patient is truly refractory to hormonal therapies which is a critical determination in the study design of the FORESEE trial.
This is a neoadjuvant study to determine the feasibility and tolerability of 2 weeks of a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet in combination with letrozole for patients with early stage operable ER+disease.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well palbociclib and letrozole or fulvestrant works in treating patients aged 70 years and older with estrogen receptor positive, HER2 negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Palbociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as letrozole or fulvestrant, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving palbociclib and letrozole or fulvestrant may work better in treating patients with breast cancer. The trial will explore factors other than chronologic age that can affect toxicity rates as identified using a cancer-specific geriatric assessment.
This is an open label phase II clinical trial to determine the efficacy, toxicity, and safety of TAK-228 plus tamoxifen in patients with newly diagnosed ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
In this study, positron emission tomography (PET/CT) imaging will be used to evaluate estrogen receptor (ER) activity in sites of metastatic disease using the investigational radiotracer \[18F\]fluoroestradiol (FES).
This phase II trial studies how well real-time pharmacokinetic therapeutic drug monitoring works in preventing stomatitis from developing in patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, or kidney cancer that are receiving a type of cancer drug called everolimus. Stomatitis is a common side effect of everolimus that causes inflammation of the mouth, with or without oral ulcers, and frequently leads to patients discontinuing the medication. Monitoring the blood levels of everolimus and making adjustments in a patient's dose may be able to decrease the incidence of stomatitis, while maintaining the effectiveness of everolimus to treat the cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well everolimus and hormone therapy work in treating patients with hormone receptor positive breast cancer that has continued to spread (progressed) or returned after a period of improvement (recurred) on everolimus and exemestane hormone therapy. Everolimus is a chemotherapy drug that may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen and progesterone are hormones that can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy may fight breast cancer by lowering the amount of estrogen and progesterone the body makes. Giving everolimus with a different type of hormone therapy may be an effective treatment for breast cancer in patients who progressed on everolimus with exemestane.
This pilot clinical trial studies intensity-modulated accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) before surgery in treating older patients with estrogen receptor positive or progesterone receptor positive stage I breast cancer. APBI is a specialized type of radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
