Breast Cancer - Featured Clinical Trials

The following list shows Featured Clinical Trials for a specific type of cancer. You may also want to view:

1.  Adjuvant Bisphosphonates for Breast Cancer 5
(Posted: 07/25/2006, Updated: 02/09/2010) - Drugs called bisphosphonates may be able to prevent bone metastases in women with early breast cancer. With this trial, researchers are comparing a bisphosphonate called clodronate with two newer, more-potent bisphosphonates--zoledronate and ibandronate--in women with stage I-III breast cancer.

2.  Adjuvant Bevacizumab and Chemotherapy for High-risk Breast Cancer 6
(Posted: 01/26/2010) - In this trial, patients with lymph node-positive or high-risk, lymph node-negative breast cancer who have received radiation therapy or plan to do so following chemotherapy will be treated with adjuvant chemotherapy and randomly assigned to receive short-term treatment with bevacizumab, long-term treatment with bevacizumab, or an intravenous placebo.

3.  Targeting HER2 in the Treatment of Ductal Carcinoma in Situ 7
(Posted: 10/06/2009) - In this clinical trial, women with HER2-positive DCIS will be treated with lumpectomy followed by whole-breast radiation therapy; half of the women will also receive two doses of trastuzumab during their radiation treatment.

4.  Testing a New Drug in Advanced BRCA-related Cancer 8
(Posted: 09/08/2009) - In this clinical trial, women with advanced breast or ovarian cancer who carry a known BRCA gene mutation or who have a strong family history of these diseases (and are, therefore, likely to carry such a mutation) will be treated with a new drug called AZD2281 (olaparib) together with the chemotherapy drug carboplatin.

5.  Optimizing Postoperative Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer 9
(Posted: 06/16/2009) - In this trial, women with early-stage breast cancer deemed by their doctors to be at high risk for recurrence will receive adjuvant chemotherapy with either cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin or paclitaxel given four times over an 8-week period.
