  Purpose

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.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To see if treatment with trastuzumab can make ER appear in ER "negative" breast cancer.Trastuzumab is an anti-Her-2 drug usually given after surgery for treatment of Her-2 "positive" breast cancer. [ Time Frame: 90 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 1
Study Start Date: July 2008
Study Completion Date: October 2010
Primary Completion Date: June 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Drug: trastuzumab (Herceptin®)
    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.
