Filter by:The purpose of this study is to describe the effect of the medicine palbociclib when given together with an aromatase inhibitor for treatment of breast cancer. The study will consider participants who: - have advanced or metastatic breast cancer that is spread to other parts of the body. - have HR+/HER2- (hormone receptor positive* / human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative**) breast cancer types. - Hormone receptor positive (HR+): are cells that have a group of proteins that bind to a specific hormone. For example, some breast cancer cells have receptors for the hormones estrogen or progesterone. These cells are hormone receptor positive, and they need estrogen or progesterone to grow. This can affect how the cancer is treated. Knowing if the cancer is hormone receptor positive may help plan treatment. - Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-): cells that have a small amount or none of a protein called HER2 on their surface. In normal cells, HER2 helps control cell growth. Cancer cells that are HER2 negative may grow more slowly and are less likely to recur (come back) or spread to other parts of the body than cancer cells that have a large amount of HER2 on their surface. Checking to see if a cancer is HER2 negative may help plan treatment. - have started treatment in the period between January 2017 and December 2021. The study will describe the treatment effect for different patient groups in terms of age and comorbidities. Comorbidity is the condition of having two or more diseases at the same time. The data is collected by the Danish Breast Cancer Group in the period between 2017 to 2023.
Solid tumors pose significant challenges in current therapeutic approaches. Targeted therapy has emerged as a promising avenue, aiming to enhance treatment efficacy while minimizing adverse effects. This clinical trial focuses on an innovative combination of two targeted inhibitors, Palbociclib and Bevacizumab, for their potential synergistic effects in addressing these challenging malignancies. Moreover, this study incorporates a molecular approach by considering Long Non-Coding RNAs (LncRNAs) as biomarkers. Initiating with a focus on colorectal cancer, the study aims to expand its scope to other solid tumors, including lung, breast, ovarian and other cancers. Palbociclib, a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor, disrupts the cell cycle progression, particularly in cancer cells with specific molecular characteristics. Bevacizumab, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor, targets angiogenesis-a critical process for tumor growth and metastasis. The rationale behind combining these agents lies in their complementary mechanisms of action, potentially leading to enhanced antitumor effects. LncRNAs have shown promise in predicting treatment response and prognosis in various cancers, providing an additional layer of precision to the treatment strategy. By elucidating the molecular basis through LncRNA analysis, the trial aims to tailor the treatment to the specific molecular profile of each patient, ultimately striving for better outcomes and improved survival rates. This novel combination therapy, coupled with a personalized biomarker-driven approach, represents a cutting-edge strategy in the pursuit of more effective and individualized treatment for solid tumors.
The goal of this study is to evaluate if adding community services navigation to the standard referral process for social needs is an effective and scalable strategy for addressing disparities in follow-up to abnormal breast cancer screening results. The investigators will determine the effectiveness of social needs referrals combined with a community services navigation intervention in the screening mammography setting to improving breast screening outcomes in underserved women.
The VRtuose (Virtual RealiTy and mUsic in the Oncology Setting) project aims to evaluate the feasibility of implementing in day patient chemotherapy units a distraction strategy combining virtual reality (VR) and music which fits the needs of both breast cancer patients and healthcare providers (i.e., strategy administrators), and to evaluate its impact on patients' (i) perceived anxiety and pain during chemotherapy sessions, (ii) nausea/vomiting and mood disturbances in between chemotherapy sessions, and (iii) quality of life. The present project is a non-randomized non-controlled prospective monocentric feasibility study which will focus on evaluating the feasibility of implementing the strategy in the target population and setting. In the case that implementation of a distraction strategy combining virtual reality and music to improve quality of life of breast cancer patients during chemotherapy is deemed feasible, the efficacy of using this strategy to improve patients' experience of chemotherapy and long-term quality of life will be evaluated in a future randomized controlled trial informed and optimized by the results of the present work.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of dapagliflozin on the incidence of cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction in patients with breast cancer receiving anthracycline treatment.
The aim of this exploratory study is to assess the performance and tolerability of the MOBIDERM Intimate Bra in the management of breast edema related to breast cancer treatment.
This multi-center cohort study focuses on evaluating the efficacy of lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) for treating pitting lymphedema in female breast cancer survivors. Conducted across multiple centers in Denmark, including Odense University Hospital, Herlev Hospital, Lillebaelt Hospital Vejle, and Zealand University Hospital, it aims to assess LVA's impact on reducing arm volume and improving quality of life in patients with upper extremity lymphedema secondary to breast cancer treatment. Eligible participants are adult women with unilateral arm lymphedema who show active pitting and identifiable lymphatic vessels via indocyanine green lymphography. Inclusion involves informed consent and the ability to complete Danish questionnaires. Patients are recruited from the outpatient clinics of the participating hospitals and will undergo LVA surgery under either local or general anesthesia. Following the intervention, patients are seen for data collection up to twelve months. The study measures outcomes like arm volume changes through water displacement volumetry and arm circumferential measurements, body composition via bioimpedance, health-related quality of life through LYMPH-Q, general quality of life through SF-36, arm function via DASH, and anastomosis patency via ICG lymphography. Additionally, changes in ICG lymphography images, arm fibrosis via SkinFibroMeter, and surgery duration are evaluated. The study adheres to ethical guidelines, ensuring patient safety and the integrity of the research.
This is a multicenter, first-in-human (FIH), open label, Phase 1 dose escalation and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) extension trial with a primary objective to define the RP2D of SRG-514 when administered intraoperatively to patients undergoing breast-conserving cancer surgery. SRG-514 will be investigated utilizing a 3+3 convention dose escalation cohorts.
Expand the current evidence base regarding percutaneous cryoablation of early-stage, low-risk breast tumors, integrated into the standard therapeutic pathway with well-defined follow-up data, as well as data on quality of life. Demonstrate, therefore, that the use of percutaneous cryoablation in the treatment of low-risk breast carcinoma is not inferior to surgery when combined with adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy (when necessary). The hypothesis is that cryoablation, being simple and oncologically effective, ensures a better quality of life for the patient (reduced morbidity, no need for general anesthesia, improved cosmetic outcomes) and consequently has a lesser psychological impact, as well as a better cost-benefit ratio compared to the standard surgical approach.
Modified radical mastectomy is the most commonly performed surgical approach for breast cancer. The procedure enables surgeons to remove the main tumor mass, adjacent glandular tissue and regional lymph nodes. Moreover, it provides a cosmetic outcome that clearly surpasses the standard radical mastectomy and allows subsequent breast reconstruction with favorable results. The present randomized study aims to compare the postoperative analgesic effects of dexamethasone and dexmedetomidine as adjuncts to serratus anterior plane block in women undergoing modified radical mastectomy.
