Filter by:First time in patients study of AZD8835. The study has four parts. Part A AZD8835 is administered as a single agent in a multiple ascending dose escalation phase to investigate dose level for monotherapy. Part B follows the multiple ascending dose phase, additional patients with tumors with documented PIK3CA gene mutation will be enrolled to a single dose expansion phase. Part C is a second dose escalation phase in which post-menopausal patients with estrogen receptor positive (ER+), HER2 negative breast cancer will receive AZD8835 in combination with fulvestrant. Part D follows the combination dose escalation phase of the study, additional postmenopausal patients with ER+/HER2 negative breast cancer with documented PIK3CA gene mutation will be enrolled to a AZD8835 and fulvestrant combination dose-expansion phase at maximum tolerated dose or recommended phase II dose.
This research study is evaluating the effectiveness of the drug called cabozantinib (alone or in combination with trastuzumab) as a possible treatment for advanced breast cancer in which the cancer has spread to the brain.
Pilot study to assess feasibility and patient acceptance of a text message cell phone application for patients with stage I-III, hormone receptor positive breast cancer who start adjuvant endocrine therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether UTD1 Injection in combination with capecitabine is effective in the treatment of advanced metastatic breast cancer using capecitabine as a control.
This is a clinical trial with a crossover design to determine patients' preference for capecitabine in combination with bevacizumab or everolimus in combination with exemestane for advanced breast cancer patients and to evaluate, if any combination is associated with a better quality of life. To identify patients' preference for either therapy in this trial, patients without disease progression or other reasons for early discontinuation will be asked for their treatment preference and their treatment satisfaction. To correlate patients' preference with other patient reported outcomes (PROs), quality of life (QoL) will be assessed at baseline and throughout the study, using dedicated questionnaires. With similarly active treatment options, it is of utmost importance to identify the treatment that has the least negative impact on the patients' quality of life.
Breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been shown to be the most accurate test for detecting breast cancer however, MRI is not always reliable because it can indicate the presence of cancer when in reality, there is none; this is called a 'false positive' result. A history of breast carcinoma alone does not qualify a patient for ongoing monitoring with breast MRI. This study is being done to assess a new technique called FAST breast MRI. A FAST breast MRI is different than a traditional breast MRI because it has much fewer sequences and takes approximately 3 minutes for the scan. MRI sequences are combinations of magnetic pulses that collect information about the tissues. There is no radiation associated with an MRI. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact on patient health when a FAST breast MRI is used as a screening technique in women with a personal history of cancer. It has been shown that FAST breast MRI is similar to routine breast MRI in the detection of breast cancer, but it has not been proven that FAST breast MRI will help women who have a personal history for breast cancer. Currently, routine breast MRI is not part of the standard of care in screening for breast cancer in women who have a prior personal history of breast cancer. By evaluating FAST MRI the investigators are able to study the effects of this short MRI on cancer detection in women with a personal history of breast cancer, and on the impact on overall health. The investigators estimate that 300 participants will be enrolled in the study from The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre at The Ottawa Hospital, General Campus and the Women's Breast Health Centre at The Ottawa Hospital, Civic Campus. All of the participants have had a history of breast carcinoma.
The cause of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) is still unknown. An estimated 55-60% of patients will experience lasting symptoms affecting function for years post-treatment. Physical therapy is an established, effective treatment for entrapped nerves and neuropathic pain. This study sought to identify additional risk factors and provide evidence for the role of physical therapy in the treatment of CIPN.
This study is being done for the following reasons: - The study has two parts. The purpose of the first part (Phase I) of the study is to find out the highest dose of neratinib that can be given safely with T-DM1. - The purpose of the second part of the study (Phase II) is to find out whether the dose of neratinib with T-DM1 determined in Phase I will keep breast cancer from getting worse for a period of time. - In order to learn more about study therapy levels in blood and discover genetic and protein changes associated with cancer, the study includes special research tests using samples from blood and from breast tumor. Blood samples will be collected before study treatment, once during treatment, and after study treatment stops. - In the optional part of this study, three biopsies will be performed to obtain fresh tumor samples from an area where your cancer has spread.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of Medihoney and Hydrophor on radiation dermatitis reactions in a group of women undergoing radiation therapy for breast cancer. It is hoped that the outcome of this pilot study will provide evidence supporting the use of Medihoney in preventing and treating radiation dermatitis as well as sufficient preliminary data to expand this study to larger, federally funded research (R01) looking at the beneficial aspects of Medihoney across a spectrum of radiation dermatitis and mucositis in several disease settings.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new investigational cancer vaccine, P10s-PADRE in combination with standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery in patients with clinical stage I, II or III estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
