Brief Summary
This randomized phase III trial studies lymph node dissection and radiation therapy to see
how well it works compared to radiation therapy alone in treating patients with breast cancer
previously treated with chemotherapy and surgery. Lymph node dissection may remove cancer
cells that have spread to nearby lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer. Radiation
therapy uses high-energy x rays or protons to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known if
radiation therapy works better alone or with lymph node dissection in treating patients with
breast cancer previously treated with chemotherapy and surgery.
This phase III trial studies how well trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and tucatinib work in
preventing breast cancer from coming back (relapsing) in patients with high risk, HER2
positive breast cancer. T-DM1 is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a
chemotherapy drug, called DM1. Trastuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches
to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors,
and delivers DM1 to kill them. Tucatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some
of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving T-DM1 and tucatinib may work better in
preventing breast cancer from relapsing in patients with HER2 positive breast cancer compared
to T-DM1 alone.
This phase III trial evaluates mammographic breast density in participants with hormone
receptor-negative breast cancer enrolled on study A011502. High breast density has been shown
to be a strong risk factor for developing breast cancer and decreasing breast density may
decrease the risk for breast cancer. Participants treated with aspirin may show reduced
breast density on a mammogram.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well cisplatin or carboplatin (platinum based
chemotherapy) works compared to capecitabine in treating patients with remaining (residual)
basal-like triple-negative breast cancer following chemotherapy after surgery (neoadjuvant).
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, carboplatin and capecitabine, 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. It is not yet known whether cisplatin
or carboplatin is more effective than capecitabine in treating patients with residual triple
negative basal-like breast cancer.
This trial studies how well paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab work in eliminating
further chemotherapy after surgery in patients with HER2-positive stage II-IIIa breast cancer
who have no cancer remaining at surgery (either in the breast or underarm lymph nodes) after
pre-operative chemotherapy and HER2-targeted therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as
paclitaxel, 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. Trastuzumab and
pertuzumab are both a form of "targeted therapy" because they work by attaching themselves to
specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When
these drugs attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and
the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Giving paclitaxel,
trastuzumab, and pertuzumab may enable fewer chemotherapy drugs to be given without
compromising patient outcomes compared to the usual treatment.
This phase II trial studies how well FDG-PET/CT works in assessing the response of patients
with breast cancer that has spread to the bones or mostly to the bones (bone-dominant
metastatic breast cancer). Diagnostic procedures, such as FDG-PET/CT, may work better in
measuring breast cancer activity before and after treatment compared to other standard
imaging tests.
This phase II trial studies F-18 16 alpha-fluoroestradiol (FES) positron emission tomography
(PET)/computed tomography (CT) in predicting response to endocrine therapy in patients with
newly diagnosed breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. FES is a
radioactive form of the hormone estrogen and may "light up" where cancer is in the body.
Diagnostic procedures using FES, such as FES PET/CT, may help measure the FES and help
doctors predict how well the cancer will respond to treatment.
This phase II MATCH trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing
works in patients with solid tumors or lymphomas that have progressed following at least one
line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic
tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with
genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more
from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these
genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid
tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.
This phase II trial studies how well docetaxel or paclitaxel work in reducing
chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in African American patients with stages I-III
breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and paclitaxel, 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. It is not yet known whether giving
docetaxel or paclitaxel may work better than other methods in reducing chemotherapy-induced
peripheral neuropathy in patients with breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on low risk breast cancer receiving usual
care that includes regional radiation therapy, with receiving no regional radiation therapy.
Researchers want to see if not giving this type of radiation treatment works as well at
preventing breast cancer from coming back.
This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well standard of care therapy with
stereotactic radiosurgery and/or surgery works and compares it to standard of care therapy
alone in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to one or two locations in the
body (limited metastatic) that are previously untreated. Standard of care therapy comprising
chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biological therapy, and others may help stop the spread of
tumor cells. Radiation therapy and/or surgery is usually only given with standard of care
therapy to relieve pain; however, in patients with limited metastatic breast cancer,
stereotactic radiosurgery, also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy, may be able to
send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue and surgery may be
able to effectively remove the metastatic tumor cells. It is not yet known whether standard
of care therapy is more effective with stereotactic radiosurgery and/or surgery in treating
limited metastatic breast cancer.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well doxorubicin hydrochloride and
cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel with or without carboplatin work in treating patients
with triple-negative breast cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin
hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, paclitaxel, and carboplatin, 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. It is not yet known whether doxorubicin hydrochloride and
cyclophosphamide is more effective when followed by paclitaxel alone or paclitaxel and
carboplatin in treating triple-negative breast cancer.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab with
or without atezolizumab works in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to
other parts of the body (metastatic). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, 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. Trastuzumab is a form of "targeted
therapy" because it works by attaching itself to specific molecules (receptors) on the
surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab attaches to HER2
receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the cancer cell may be
marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Monoclonal antibodies, such as
pertuzumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy
with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may induce changes in body's immune system
and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known
whether giving paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab with or without atezolizumab may kill
more tumor cells.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating patients
with triple-negative 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.
This phase III trial studies how well carvedilol works in preventing cardiac toxicity in
patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive breast cancer that has
spread to other places in the body. A beta-blocker, such as carvedilol, is used to treat
heart failure and high blood pressure, and it may prevent the heart from side effects of
chemotherapy.
This randomized research trial studies how well serum tumor marker directed disease
monitoring works in monitoring patients with hormone receptor positive Her2 negative breast
cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Using markers to prompt when scans should
be ordered may be as good as the usual approach to monitoring disease.
This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy with or without olaparib works in
treating patients with inflammatory breast cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays
to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by
blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether radiation
therapy with or without olaparib may work better in treating patients with inflammatory
breast cancer.
This phase II trial studies the effect of sacituzumab govitecan in treating patients with
HER2-negative breast cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastases). Sacituzumab
govitecan is a monoclonal antibody, called sacituzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called
govitecan. Sacituzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific
molecules on the surface of cancer cells, known as Trop-2 receptors, and delivers govitecan
to kill them. Giving sacituzumab govitecan may shrink the cancer in the brain and/or extend
the time until the cancer gets worse.
This study is to compare the safety and effects of donepezil (Aricept) for patients reporting
cognitive or memory issues after receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. Patients will
receive either donepezil or placebo for 24 weeks. The primary objective is to see if memory
improves with the use of donepezil during the study.
This study is being done to see if patients receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer affects
the heart, the ability to exercise and fatigue when compared to patients who do not have
cancer.
