Filter by:The purpose of this study is to review and evaluate the effectiveness of new educational materials (informational booklet & DVD) that promote participation in genetic counseling among breast cancer survivors. There are two phases to this study: Part 1 - reviewing the newly developed educational materials, and Part 2 - evaluating the effectiveness of the newly developed educational materials
In this multicenter, randomized phase III trial, node positive early breast cancer patients are randomly assigned to receive either 6 cycles of FEC (5-fluorouracil 600 mg/m2, epirubicin 60 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2, on day 1, every three weeks) or 4 cycles of EP (epirubicin 90 mg/m2 and paclitaxel 175 mg/m2, on day 1, every three weeks). The primary study endpoint is overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints include toxicity and event free survival (EFS).
This is a prospective examination of ribonucleic acid (RNA) extracted from tumor material of breast cancer patients treated with a neo-adjuvant therapy. The RNA will be analysed for expression of estrogen receptor (ER 1), progesterone receptor (PgR), HER2 and Ki-67 with MammaTyper™. According to the determined values for the individual parameters at least 4 subtypes can be distinguished to date - Luminal A-type - Luminal B-type - HER2-type - Triple-negative-type As non-clinical endpoint, the agreement of new subtyping with Immunohistochemical methods will be evaluated. As clinical objective, the 5 year Distant metastasis free survival (DMFS) and Overall survival (OS) will be reevaluated according to the new subtyping.
This research study is studying a drug called Palbociclib in combination with Bazedoxifene (a type of endocrine therapy, which prevents breast cancer cell growth by blocking estrogen stimulation) as a possible treatment for this diagnosis. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: - Palbociclib - Bazedoxifene
This is a two-part study of pembrolizumab monotherapy in participants with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). Part 1 of the study will examine the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab monotherapy as first line or above treatment in participants who have received either no prior systemic treatment or at least one prior systemic treatment for metastatic breast cancer. Part 2 of the study, if done, will expand the investigation of pembrolizumab treatment in a subgroup of participants from Part 1 and will only start after enrollment in Part 1 has been completed. There will be no hypothesis testing in this study.
This is a Phase 4, single-arm, open-label, multicenter study to assess the safety and efficacy of pertuzumab in combination with trastuzumab and docetaxel for the treatment of participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced (locally recurrent, unresectable, or metastatic) breast cancer.
Up to 90% of the radiotherapy patients will develop a certain degree of skin reaction at the treated area, also known as radiodermatitis (RD). Currently, there is a wide variety of strategies to manage RD, including creams, gels, ointments, wound dressings. However, up to now, there is still no comprehensive, evidence-based consensus for the treatment of RD. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a promising, non-invasive technique for treating RD. In a recent pilot study conducted in our research group, LLLT prevented the aggravation of RD and provided symptomatic relief in patients undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer after breast-sparing surgery. This pilot study was the first prospective study investigating the potential of LLLT for RD. In the current study, we want to investigate the efficacy of LLLT as a tool for the prevention of radiodermatitis in breast cancer patients.
This was an open-labeled, multi-center, prospective, non-comparative study of the safety of Herceptin (trastuzumab) used as an adjuvant therapy in patients with early breast cancer who had previously received antracycline therapy before or after surgery.
The purpose of this prospective observational registry is to monitor safety of eribulin in routine clinical practice. Additionally, this study will also assess the effectiveness of eribulin in real-life settings.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biological effects of abemaciclib in combination with anastrozole and compare those to the effects of abemaciclib alone and anastrozole alone in the tumors of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer.
