Trial summary

The majority pf breast cancers present as ER-positive, many of which are able to be targeted with multiple hormonal therapies. Altering ER-negative tumors to increase ER expression has the potential to benefit patients by making hormonal therapies a therapeutic option and possibly improving their overall prognosis.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • trastuzumab (Herceptin®)Drug

    About 1 week (4 - 7 days) before scheduled breast surgery, consisting of lumpectomy or mastectomy, subjects will receive a dose of trastuzumab (Herceptin®). Trastuzumab will be given through an IV or port for approximately 90 minutes. During this time, subjects will be closely monitored by a chemotherapy nurse to make sure that subjects do not have a reaction to the medication. It is possible that the infusion of the medication will need to be slowed down, in which case, the time for the infusion will be longer than 90 minutes. The one dose of the trastuzumab drug will be provided by the study (not billed to insurance), but the charges to administer the drug will be billed to subjects or subjects health insurance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing trastuzumab (Herceptin®) in people with Breast Cancer, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Oct 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Standard Immunohistochemistry and Allred Scores Were to be Used to Measure the Estrogen Receptor (ER) Response Rate in Patients With ER-negative/Low, and Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)/Neu-positive Breast Cancer. (time frame: 90 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Oct 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
