Clinical Trials

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as brostallicin and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving brostallicin together with cisplatin may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving brostallicin together with cisplatin works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to explore and describe metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC) patient perspectives on and experiences with treatment decision-making, including how patients evaluate various treatment options, associated benefits, risks and drawbacks as well as how perceptions and preferences change over time.

This is a multicenter, Phase 1b/2 trial. The purpose of phase 1b part of the trial aims to determine the  recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of elacestrant when administered in combination with alpelisib, everolimus, palbociclib, and ribociclib. The Phase 2 part of the trial will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the various combinations in patients with ER+/HER2- advanced/metastatic breast cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well alisertib with or without fulvestrant works in treating patients with endocrine-resistant breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Alisertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Hormone therapy using fulvestrant may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells or reducing the amount of estrogen made by the body. Giving alisertib with or without fulvestrant may be better in treating patients with breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of the lived experiences of symptoms and quality of life issues experienced by women with metastatic breast cancer.  

The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples and fresh tissue from biopsies of metastatic lesions from Mayo Clinic patients with metastatic breast cancer. The biospecimens will be used for analysis of genetic alterations in germline and tumor DNA and for tracking of response to therapy using blood-based liquid biopsy approaches. 

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 ...

The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Axatilimab (a type of antibody) * Olaparib (a type of PARP inhibitor)

This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of pertuzumab combined with high-dose trastuzumab in adult patients who have HER2-positive breast cancer that has spread to the central nervous system and the brain following radiation therapy.

The purpose of this study is to compare the progression-free survival (PFS) between sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG) and pembrolizumab versus treatment of physician's choice (TPC) and pembrolizumab in participants with previously untreated, locally advanced inoperable or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer, whose tumors express programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1).

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of trastuzumab deruxtecan compared with investigator's choice chemotherapy in human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)2-low, hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer patients whose disease has progressed on endocrine therapy in the metastatic setting.

The purpose of this study is to offer pre-approval drug access of iniparib  combined with gemcitabine and carboplatin, in order to provide potential clinical benefit to patients who have ER-, PR-, and HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer.

The study is designed as an open-label, randomized, parallel, two arm, multicenter, international Phase 3 study in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens.

The primary study objective is to compare overall survival of patients who receive NKTR-102 given once every 21 days to patients who receive treatment of Physician's Choice selected from a list of seven single-agent intravenous therapies.

This trial studies how well the drug tucatinib works when given with trastuzumab deruxtecan. It will also look at what side effects happen when these drugs are given together. A side effect is anything a drug does besides treating cancer. Participants in this trial have HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer that has either spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed completely with surgery (unresectable). All participants will get both tucatinib and trastuzumab deruxtecan.

The purpose of this study is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), the optimal treatment regimen and to evaluate preliminary efficacy of RYZ101 in estrogen receptor positive (ER+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, unresectable, locally advanced and unresectable or metastatic breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well the combination of avelumab with liposomal doxorubicin with or without binimetinib, or the combination of avelumab with sacituzumab govitecan works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that is stage IV or is not able to be removed by surgery (unresectable) and has come back (recurrent).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well tucatinib works for solid tumors that make either more HER2 or a different type of HER2 than usual (HER2 alterations) The solid tumors studied in this trial have either spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed completely with surgery (unresectable). All participants will get both tucatinib and trastuzumab. People with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer will also get a drug called fulvestrant. The trial will also look at what side effects happen. A side effect is anything a drug does besides treating cancer.

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.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and side effects of a drug called SGN-B7H4V in participants with solid tumors.  A side effect is anything a drug does to the body besides treating the disease. Participants will have cancer that has spread in the body near where it started (locally advanced) and cannot be removed (unresectable) or has spread through the body (metastatic). This study will have three parts. Parts A and B of the study will find out how much SGN-B7H4V should be given to participants. Part C will use the dose found in Parts A ...
