Breast Cancer Trials Offered through Georgia CORE Research Network


August 14, 2008


Georgia CORE has developed a partnership with Emory Winship Cancer Institute to give patients across the state access to Investigator-Initiated trials. Participating Georgia CORE Research Network members in community practices now have access to these Investigator-Initiated studies through Georgia CORE.

With the help of an educational grant from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Ruth O’Regan, MD and Amelia Zelnak, MD created a video stream that explains the most recent breast cancer studies offered through Georgia CORE:

  • Randomized Phase II Trial of Sequential Docetaxel followed by Capecitabine versus Concomitant Docetaxel/Capecitabine as Induction Therapy for Early Stage Breast Cancer

  • Phase II Neoadjuvant Trial of Trastuzumab in Combination with Dose-Dense ABI-007 (Abraxane) Followed by Vinorelbine for HER2 Overexpressing Early Stage Breast Cancer
  • Dr. O’Regan is the Associate Professor of Hematology and Oncology at the Emory Winship Cancer Institute, Director of Winship's Translational Breast Cancer Research Program and a Georgia Cancer Coalition Distinguished Cancer Scholar. Dr. Zelnak is a Medical Oncologist and an Assistant Professor in Hematology and Oncology at the Emory Winship Cancer Institute.
