Filter by:Sidekick Health has developed an interactive digital health program (SK-421) to support breast cancer patients. The study will be a single center pilot study with an intervention group and a comparison group aiming to recruit 66 breast cancer patients prescribed to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and/or hormonal therapy according to standard breast cancer treatment. This pilot study will determine whether the digital health program, supporting lifestyle changes, can positively impact management of side effects, quality of life, physical activity and fitness and medication adherence in this patient population. Patients will be randomized to receive either the standard of care (SoC) treatment alone or SoC with the addition of the digital healthprogram.
The Motiva Flora® TE are intended for temporary subcutaneous or submuscular implantation to develop surgical flaps and additional tissue coverage and are not intended for use beyond six (6) months. All Motiva Flora® TE's require periodic, incremental inflation with sterile saline for injection until the desired tissue amount is developed. After the desired volume, the expander is surgically removed and replaced with a long-term breast implant in the same space as the tissue expander. The study collects retrospective data on the use of the Motiva Flora TE, from patients who had a tissue expander-based-breast reconstruction using the Motiva Flora® TE since market introduction in May 2020.
Post Marketing Surveillance (PMS) study. Up to 93 patients undergoing breast conserving surgery will be enrolled in a prospective, single center, non-randomized controlled study, and a corresponding number of historical patients that underwent BCS will serve as the historical control group, accounting for a 1:1 ratio. All study patients and the patients in the historical control group will be required to meet the study eligibility criteria. BCS will be performed with the routine standard of care (SOC), including intra-operative methods used to improve margin assessment. In addition to SOC process, the main specimen from patients found eligible will be scanned in the ClearCoast™ system. The surgeon will utilize the information from the ClearCoast images in his margin assessments evaluation which includes the diffusion at the surface of a particular aspect (suggesting irregular tissue at the specimen's surface), and decide whether to excise additional tissue. The decision-making process including MR images interpretation and the surgical decisions will be evaluated and documented. Following procedure, routine histopathology examination will be performed accompanied by the ClearCoast optical and parametric maps. This study is a controlled design, in which subjects previously having undergone BCS by the same surgeons, will serve as the historical control group, comparing the following endpoints: - Complete surgical re-excision rate - Total excised breast tissue volume The study Control group is composed of historical data from patients previously undergone BCS, under the same site SOC surgical practice, practicing surgeons, and study eligible criteria. This allows reducing inter-group variability and bias. A device operator trained by ClearCut Medical will operate the device throughout the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the three-drug combination of tucatinib, trastuzumab, and eribulin in patients with de novo and recurrent unresectable metastatic HER-2/neu positive breast cancer as assessed by ORR, PFS and OS after prior treatment with a taxane, trastuzumab, and T-DM1.
Breast cancer, a leading cause of mortality among females, has been the center of research for many decades. Work is in progress to further advance the research worldwide and in our region. This study is conducted to look into regional ethical predilection, clinical presentation/stage, pathological subtypes & risk factors of BC among patients of Karachi, with the aim of proposing a ground to policy making regarding protocol setting for screening and management of BC for our region.
Dedicated breast computed tomography (BCT) is being developed as a new x-ray based tomographic breast imaging method for early breast cancer detection and/or diagnosis. BCT results in isotropic high spatial resolution three-dimensional (3D) images coupled with high contrast resolution. It is hypothesized that BCT imaging used as a replacement of the additional mammographic views during diagnostic work-up will improve the accuracy of clinical standard diagnostic work-up.
Some people experience a side effect while they are receiving taxane called taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN). TIPN is pain in the arms and legs due to nerve damage caused by cancer treatment and may interfere with quality of life. The purpose of this study is to learn if acupuncture can prevent TIPN from getting worse. Acupuncture is a medical technique that involves insertion of very thin needles into specific areas on the body. We will compare real acupuncture (RA) to placebo (sham) acupuncture (SA). SA is done like RA, but will use different needles and target different sites or places on the body than RA. We are comparing RA to SA to learn whether RA can prevent TIPN from getting worse while receiving taxane.
This study was for women with breast cancer and for adults with melanoma. Breast cancer was a type of cancer when cells in the breast turn into cancer cells, which might grow out of control. Melanoma was a type of skin cancer that starts in cells called melanocytes. These cells made a substance called melanin which gives the skin its color. In this study, people had surgery to remove the lymph node closest to the site of their cancer. This lymph node was called the sentinel node. This was done to check if the cancer had spread from the original site to the sentinel node. This procedure was called a sentinel node biopsy. This study provided more information on a potential new dye, called ASP5354, used in sentinel node biopsies. ASP5354 helped to show the lymph nodes more clearly during surgery. This helped the surgeon find the lymph node closest to the site of the cancer (sentinel node). The main aim of the study was to find the best dose of ASP5354 that clearly showed the lymph nodes during surgery. This was an open-label study. That means each person in the study and the study doctors knew that person received ASP5354. Each person only received 1 dose of ASP5354. People that wanted to take part in the study were checked by a study doctor. This was on a separate visit before their surgery. Before surgery, people who took part in the study were asked if they had any other medical problems. They had a physical exam, an ECG to check their heart rhythm, and had their vital signs checked (blood pressure, pulse rate, and breathing rate). Other checks included some blood and urine samples taken for laboratory tests. During surgery, a study surgeon injected ASP5354 near the cancer site. They recorded how clearly they could see the lymph nodes. Some blood samples were taken for laboratory tests and an ECG was done. After their surgery, people were asked if they have any other medical problems. People returned to the hospital 9 days later for a check-up. The check-up included a physical exam, an ECG to check their heart rhythm, and a check of their vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate, and breathing rate). Other checks included some blood samples taken for laboratory tests. People were asked if they had any medical problems and asked to complete a feedback survey.
Multi center, pivotal prospective, randomized clinical trial The proposed randomized controlled study will evaluate the benefits of adding the ClearEdge imaging device to the Standard of Care (SoC) of margins assessment in breast conserving surgeries. The study will assess whether there is an improvement in the detection of DCIS or invasive cancer involved margins by measuring whether removal at the time of primary surgical treatment can reduce the need for repeat surgeries as compared to the SoC, which does not use the device.
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in women. A good rehabilitation program is essential for a good recovery after breast cancer, both physically and mentally. The aim of this study is to determine if there is an added value of a third supervised training session within a standard 12-week rehabilitation program to improve physical and mental functioning after breast cancer. The investigators also want to determine the added value of hydrotherapy as a third training session within a 12-week rehabilitation program compared to a third training session with ground exercises to improve physical and mental functioning after breast cancer.
