Official Title: A Phase II Study of the Effects of Herceptin in Patients With Locally Advanced HER-2/NEU Overexpressing Breast Cancer
Study ID: NCT00133796
Brief Summary: The purposes of this study are to better understand how Herceptin causes tumors to become smaller and to find out how effective Herceptin, together with chemotherapy, is in treating advanced breast cancer.
Detailed Description: We want to determine the effects of Herceptin and to determine its efficacy in women with HER-2 overexpressing advanced breast cancer. The end-points will include the comparison of an array of histologic and molecular markers from sequential core biopsies of primary breast cancers of patients receiving Herceptin. The other aim of this study would be to determine clinical response to therapy with Herceptin and Taxotere.
