Navelbine, Taxol, Herceptin and Neupogen in Stage IV Breast Cancer: A Phase I - II Trial
Summary
The purposes of this are:
- To determine the highest doses of Taxol and Navelbine that we can safely give to patients;
- To determine what kind of side effects are caused by the combination of Taxol, Navelbine and G-CSF;
- To determine whether the combination of Taxol, Navelbine and G-CSF is more effective than standard therapy in treating metastatic breast cancer and prolonging life;

Clinical Trials
The purpose of this study is to compare two different combinations of chemotherapy with trastuzumab as initial treatment for HER2 positive advanced breast cancer. Half of the patients wil...
Trastuzumab, Docetaxel, Vinorelbine, and Filgrastim in Treating Women With Stage IV Breast Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can locate tumor cel...
Vinorelbine With or Without Trastuzumab in Treating Women With Progressive Metastatic Breast Cancer
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclo...
This research study is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for breast cancer. The drugs involved in this study are: - Group A: Trastuzumab (Herceptin) + Vino...
HERVIN: Trastuzumab and Vinorelbine in Metastatic Breast Cancer
The combination of vinorelbine with weekly trastuzumab has produced high response rate in HER2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The present phase 2 study was planned to test ...

MiR-129-5p Sensitizes the Response of Her-2 Positive Breast Cancer to Trastuzumab by Reducing Rps6.
Trastuzumab is an important treatment used for patients with Her-2-positive breast cancer, but an increasing incidence of trastuzumab resistance has been observed clinically during the past decade. Ab...
Patients treated with (neo)adjuvant trastuzumab who relapse and receive trastuzumab for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are a growing population with little outcome data given their exclusion from most...
Paclitaxel plays a central role in chemotherapy for breast cancer. Peripheral neuropathy, a well-known toxicity with paclitaxel, may be of interest in predicting the efficacy of paclitaxel therapy for...
Nab-paclitaxel (nab-PTX) is an albumin-bound paclitaxel formulation. Although nab-PTX has shown superior efficacy compared to conventional paclitaxel (PTX) in metastatic breast cancer (MBC), chemother...
Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Trastuzumab
A humanized monoclonal antibody against the ERBB-2 RECEPTOR (HER2). As an ANTINEOPLASTIC AGENT, it is used to treat BREAST CANCER where HER2 is overexpressed.
Breast Cancer Lymphedema
Abnormal accumulation of lymph in the arm, shoulder and breast area associated with surgical or radiation breast cancer treatments (e.g., MASTECTOMY).
Inflammatory Breast Neoplasms
Metastatic breast cancer characterized by EDEMA and ERYTHEMA of the affected breast due to LYMPHATIC METASTASIS and eventual obstruction of LYMPHATIC VESSELS by the cancer cells.
Carcinoma, Lobular
A infiltrating (invasive) breast cancer, relatively uncommon, accounting for only 5%-10% of breast tumors in most series. It is often an area of ill-defined thickening in the breast, in contrast to the dominant lump characteristic of ductal carcinoma. It is typically composed of small cells in a linear arrangement with a tendency to grow around ducts and lobules. There is likelihood of axillary nodal involvement with metastasis to meningeal and serosal surfaces. (DeVita Jr et al., Cancer: Principles & Practice of Oncology, 3d ed, p1205)
Capecitabine
A deoxycytidine derivative and fluorouracil PRODRUG that is used as an ANTINEOPLASTIC ANTIMETABOLITE in the treatment of COLON CANCER; BREAST CANCER and GASTRIC CANCER.
