Filter by:This is a observational study in a real-world setting, not requiring determining a dosage regimen, dose reduction criteria, rest period criteria and withdrawal criteria. The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy of eribulin as the first or second line chemotherapy to prolong overall survival and to explore factors affecting the survival in patients with HER2-negative hormone-resistant inoperable or recurrent metastatic breast cancer who scheduled to receive the first or second line chemotherapy in clinical practice in Japan. The total duration of the study will be a maximum of 5 years, consisting of 2-year enrollment period and 3-year observational period; the duration of patient participation will be 3 years. All patients will receive adequate treatment for breast cancer which selected by the primary physician after enrollment using the Japanese Breast Cancer Society Clinical Practice Guideline of Breast Cancer and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology. Investigators at the investigational sites will enter patient data into an electronic data capture (EDC) system up to the third chemotherapy in the study. The end of the study is defined as the time the last patient completes observational period. Patients will primarily be assessed by overall survival (OS) of the first line chemotherapy.
In this study, the investigators will enroll women with palpable cancers to assess the accuracy of the Breast Cancer Locator (BCL) and the concomitant procedure as a vehicle to optimize and validate the approach in such surgical cases. This approach of adopting palpable cancer patients before initiating an evaluative trial of the BCL in non-palpable breast cancer cases ensures that the BCL does not substantially alter or modify the standard-of-care procedure.
This study aims to assess the activity of PD0332991 in monotherapy and in combination with the endocrine therapy (anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane or fulvestrant) on which the patient has progressed in the previous line for advanced breast cancer in order to reverse endocrine resistance.
Researchers at the John Wayne Cancer Institute (JWCI) at Providence Saint John's Health Center (PSJHC) are trying to examine whether acupuncture reduces joint pain in patients being treated with aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy for breast cancer and whether the reduction in pain happens by lowering inflammation.
ABX Plus Cisplatin Versus Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
This phase I/II research trial studies supportive care questionnaires in gathering data on unmet needs and health-related quality of life in Latina breast cancer survivors after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Questionnaires that address unmet supportive care needs and health-related quality of life of breast cancer survivors may help doctors learn about barriers to cancer care that are linked to language, acculturation, knowledge about diagnosis and care, and financial concerns. Learning about unmet needs of breast cancer patients may help increase quality of life and decrease healthcare utilization and costs.
This is a cohort study of 16 women undergoing post-mastectomy chest wall radiotherapy for breast cancer comparing two ways of modifying the radiation beam with bolus (a 5mm rubber substance placed on the skin to modify the radiation beam). The hypothesis is that 3D printed bolus will conform more closely to the chest wall than standard 5mm-thick standard bolus and thus lead to less chance of underdose or overdose of the skin. Each patient will receive the standard dose of radiotherapy, but half the treatments will use standard bolus and half the treatments will 3D printed bolus (ie each patient will act as is their own control). The primary outcome is the comparison of the amount of air under the bolus for each technique. Secondary outcome is the amount of time it takes to set up the patient for radiotherapy.
RATIONALE: Placing a tumor antigen chimeric receptor that has been created in the laboratory into patient autologous or donor-derived T cells may make the body build immune response to kill cancer cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying genetically engineered lymphocyte therapy in treating patients with Relapsed and/or Chemotherapy Refractory Advanced Malignancies.
Assess the impact of dietary omega 3 free fatty acids and/or letrozole on obese, postmenopausal breast cancer patients.
NK (Natural Killer) cells are important in the fight against tumor, especially for the control of cancer metastasis. The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate the impact on lymphocytes NK functions and development of an everolimus treatment in women treated for a metastatic breast cancer. In particular, the study of lymphocytes NK functions and development under everolimus treatment could permit to validate an early biomarker of the impact of everolimus on these NK cells.
