Treating Node-Positive Tumors with Low Oncotype DX® Scores
Tamoxifen Citrate, Letrozole, Anastrozole, or Exemestane With or Without Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Invasive Breast Cancer (NCT01272037)
Summary
Women with hormone-sensitive, HER2-negative breast cancer who have 1-3 positive lymph nodes are typically treated with chemotherapy. Oncotype DX® is a genetic test that is done on a small piece of tumor tissue. It is used to assess the likelihood that a patient with a hormone-sensitive, node-negative tumor will have a breast cancer recurrence. Women with a high recurrence score are treated with chemotherapy and hormone therapy. Women with a low recurrence score are treated with hormone therapy alone. Previous studies have suggested that the Oncotype DX® test can also accurately assess recurrence risk in certain node-positive patients. The goal of this trial is to determine whether women with 1-3 positive nodes and a low Oncotype DX® score require chemotherapy and hormone therapy or if they can be treated with hormone therapy alone. To be eligible, participants must have an Oncotype DX® score of 25 or less.

Paclitaxel (Taxol®) is a chemotherapy drug routinely used to treat breast cancer. Retinoblastoma (RB) is a tumor suppressor protein. Laboratory studies suggest targeting the Rb pathway by inhibiting the CDK4 and CDK6 enzymes may be an effective breast cancer treatment. This study will identify the best dose of ribociclib to use along with Taxol to treat patients with metastatic breast cancer. Interested patients will have their tumor tested for the Rb protein. Only those whose tumor tests positive for this protein will be eligible to enroll.

A Vaccine & Chemotherapy Followed by Anakinra or Booster Shots for Triple Negative Tumors
Pilot Safety Trial of Anakinra Combined With Chemotherapy and Dendritic Cell Vaccine in Patients With Locally Advanced, Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (NCT02018458)
Summary
Immunotherapy–teaching the body's immune system to go after cancer cells—is a new area of cancer research. A dendritic cell vaccine is a patient-specific vaccine that is manufactured by taking a blood sample from the patient. After receiving the vaccine, patients typically receive a series of booster shots. Anakinra (kineret) stops inflammation by blocking IL-1 β, an immune protein found in high levels in breast cancer. It is currently used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. Studies suggest it may help bolster cancer vaccines. ACT (Adriamycin®, Cytoxan®, Taxol®) is a chemotherapy regimen commonly used to treat breast cancer. This study is comparing the effectiveness of using vaccine booster shots or Anakinra following treatment with ACT and the dendritic cell vaccine in patients with locally advanced triple negative breast cancer.
This is a Phase I-II trial

Neoadjuvant Metronomic Chemotherapy for Stage II-III Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Metronomic Chemotherapy in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (NCT00542191)
Summary
Metronomic chemotherapy is new approach to treatment that involves giving very low doses of chemotherapy over a longer period of time. There is evidence that metronomic chemotherapy can slow tumor blood vessel growth and produce fewer side effects than standard high-dose chemotherapy. Research has also shown it to be effective in tumors that have not responded to standard treatment. Given the limited options available for women with hormone-negative and HER2-negative breast cancer, researchers are studying the effectiveness of metronomic chemotherapy before surgery in women with triple-negative disease.
This is a Phase II trial
- Weekly visits for 24 weeks

Keytruda & Decitabine Followed by Chemo Before Surgery for Locally Advanced HER2- Disease
T-Cell Immune Checkpoint Inhibition Plus Hypomethylation for Locally Advanced HER2-Negative Breast Cancer - A Phase 2 Neoadjuvant Window Trial of Pembrolizumab and Decitabine Followed by Standard Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NCT02957968)
Summary
To take part in this study, you must have HER2-negative locally advanced (some stage III) breast cancer. Giving chemotherapy before surgery (called neoadjuvant treatment) can shrink the tumor. It also allows researchers to study the effect the treatment has on the cancer cells. This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of using immunotherapy before standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The immunotherapy used in this study is pembrolizumab (Keytruda®). It is approved to treat certain types of metastatic lung cancer. It will be given along with the chemotherapy drug decitabine (Dacogen®), which is used to treat a certain type of blood cancer.

Immunotherapy and Abraxane for Advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer
A Study of MPDL3280A in Combination With Nab-Paclitaxel Compared With Placebo With Nab-Paclitaxel for Patients With Previously Untreated Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (NCT02425891)
Summary
Researchers are investigating the effectiveness of immunotherapies in patients with triple negative (ER-, PR- and HER2-) breast cancer. MPDL3280a (atezolizumab) is an investigational immunotherapy that stimulates the body's immune system to go after cancer cells. It works by blocking a protein called programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) that normally keeps the body's immune system from attacking and destroying tumor cells. Nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®) is a chemotherapy drug routinely used to treat advanced breast cancer. This study is comparing the safety and effectiveness of Abraxane and atezolizumab to Abraxane and a placebo in patients with previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic triple negative breast cancer.

Dose-Dense ACT Chemo without Neulasta for Early Stage Breast Cancer
Feasibility and Safety of Avoiding Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor Prophylaxis During the Paclitaxel Portion of Dose Dense Doxorubicin-Cyclophosphamide and Paclitaxel Regimen (NCT02698891)
Summary
If you receive chemotherapy, you may develop an infection. Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®) is given to reduce this risk. ACT (doxorubicin/Adriamycin®, cyclophosphamide/Cytoxan® and paclitaxel/Taxol®) are three chemotherapy drugs often used together to treat breast cancer. Researchers think it may be possible to give ACT without Neulasta during the Taxol portion to avoid its side effects, including bone pain. In this study, you will receive dose-dense Taxol after finishing dose-dense AC and only get Neuslasta if you begin to develop a fever with infection and low blood counts or need to delay Taxol due to low blood counts. To take part, you may be at any point during AC treatment, but have not yet started Taxol treatment. In this study, you will receive dose-dense chemotherapy. This means you will have chemotherapy treatments that are scheduled closer together, such as every 2 weeks apart instead of every 3 weeks.
This is a Phase II trial

A Vaccine + Chemotherapy to Prevent Recurrence in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
A Randomized Multicenter Phase II Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Two Doses of Vaccination With Folate Receptor Alpha Peptides With GM-CSF in Patients With Triple Negative Breast Cancer (NCT02593227)
Summary
Researchers think that immunotherapy treatments used after completing standard therapy may help prevent breast cancer from coming back. Folate Receptor-alpha (FR-alpha) vaccine is a new type of immunotherapy that stimulates the immune system. Laboratory studies suggest it may be able to help prevent a breast cancer recurrence. FR-alpha is a receptor found in 86% of triple-negative breast cancer cells. GM-CSF is a substance added to the vaccine to improve the immune response. Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan®) is a chemotherapy drug routinely used to treat breast cancer. This study is comparing the effectiveness of two different doses of the FR-alpha vaccine when it is given with or without Cytoxan to women who have completed neoadjuvant (before surgery) or adjuvant (after surgery) treatment for stage IIb-III triple-negative breast cancer.
This is a Phase II trial

Cisplatin vs. AC Before Surgery in Patients w/ a BRCA Mutation
A Randomized Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Cisplatin vs. Doxorubicin/Cyclophosphamide (AC) in Women With Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer and Germline BrCa Mutations (NCT01670500)
Summary
Women and men who are born with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation are at increased risk of developing breast cancer. Cisplatin is a platinum-containing chemotherapy drug that is used alone or in combination with other drugs to treat ovarian, bladder, and testicular cancers; it is sometimes used to treat other types of cancer as well. It is not FDA approved to treat breast cancer. Doxorubicin (Adriamycin®) and cyclophosphamide--known as AC--is routinely used to treat breast cancer. Giving chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant (before surgery) setting allows researchers to study how the tumor responds to the treatment regimen. It can also shrink the tumor, potentially allowing a patient to have a lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy. This study is comparing cisplatin to AC in BRCA+ women and men with newly diagnosed breast cancer.
This is a Phase II trial
- Visits every 2 or 3 weeks for 3 months
