This is a phase 1 open label single centre study of AZD9496 administered orally in healthy volunteers. The study design involves single administration of different forms, formulations and doses of AZD9496. The study is designed to investigate these different AZD9496 variants. The study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic profiles and the safety and tolerability of the different forms, formulations and doses of AZD9496 This is a fixed sequence study with 5-sequential treatment periods in healthy volunteers. Each volunteer will receive 5 single doses of AZD9496 in different forms, formulations and doses.
The investigators will conduct a 2x2 factorial randomized controlled trial to test the separate and synergistic effects of an in-person hands-on dietary and physical activity change curriculum (i.e., Mi Vida Saludable program) and e-communication strategies (text messaging, emailed newsletters and an interactive website) on changing dietary and physical activity behaviors among a diverse population of Latina breast cancer survivors who have completed breast cancer treatment. Participants will be evenly randomized to 4 arms: in-person education alone, e-communication alone, in-person education plus e-communication, or control.
Double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter pilot study on efficacy and safety of CBLB612 following single administration for neutropenia prophylaxis in breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide myelosuppressive chemotherapy
The new device we are looking at is called the MarginProbe. It is a disposable probe which measures the margins of tissue removed to check they are clear of cancer cells, during breast conservation surgery. After specimen radiology, allows the Surgeon to remove further tissue if necessary, during the same operation if any involved margins are identified. This minimises the need for further repeat operations. Previous studies carried out elsewhere in the world (USA and Israel) have identified that the probe reduces re-excision rate but there has never been a study in the UK. The trial involves randomly allocating patients once they are in theatre, to either the MarginProbe procedure after breast conserving surgery and radiology has been completed, or not.
Countries throughout the world are facing a growing non-communicable disease (NCD) burden. In developing countries, medicines to treat NCDs are often difficult to access or too expensive for many households. Novartis/Sandoz has recently launched Novartis Access, an initiative to subsidize a basket of NCD medicines sold to purchasers in program countries and delivered through the public and non-profit health sectors. This study will evaluate the impact of Novartis Access on the availability and price of NCD medicines at health facilities and households in Kenya, the first country to receive the program.
The trial population of this study is composed of women aged more than 18, who have developed a newly node-negative (or pN1mi), Estrogen Receptor (ER)-positive, Her2-negative invasive breast cancer with uncertainty on the indication of adjuvant chemotherapy using standard assessments. Obtaining material for test is at no risk as done from the surgery material. Tumor molecular EndoPredict (EP)clin analysis will allow to obtain information on the expression of 8 breast cancer related genes and will provide important prognosis indications. Clinical validation studies have demonstrated that molecular assays are useful for stratifying patients into risk categories and helpful in making clinical treatment decisions in ER+/node-negative breast cancer patients.
Many women with breast cancer now live for decades after their breast cancer treatment. In view of this, modern breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy for breast cancer aims to reproduce as natural a breast shape as possible. Keeping a natural breast appearance has been shown to be very important to a woman's emotional and psychological recovery. Breast cancer treatment often includes a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, anticancer tablets such as Tamoxifen, and newer targeted drugs such as Herceptin. Radiotherapy is usually given after surgery. However, radiotherapy after mastectomy and breast reconstruction can damage the 'new' breast giving a less good breast shape and appearance in the longer term. Also, if recovery is slow following surgery, the radiotherapy is delayed which may reduce its effectiveness. Changing the order of treatments has been shown to be safe and effective for chemotherapy, Herceptin and anticancer tablets but we have very little information on giving radiotherapy before breast cancer surgery. The investigators want to find out if giving radiotherapy before mastectomy and reconstruction alters surgical complication rates and they want to evaluate the appearance of the reconstructed breast when radiotherapy is given before surgery.
This study aims to compare the resource impact, acute toxicity and feasibility of different pan-lymph node radiotherapy techniques. Radiotherapy using wide tangents with the patient in breath hold will be compared against volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in free breathing in the main trial. A parallel study will asses the accuracy of VMAT treatments using voluntary deep inspiratory breath hold compared to an active breathing controlled breath hold device.
The purpose is to examine the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the role of a personal trainer for non-metastatic breast cancer survivors to improve physical activity and well-being (in terms of quality of life).
