Filter by:This is a study to compare the antitumor activity of ramucirumab (IMC-1121B) and eribulin together versus eribulin alone, in participants with locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
To date, the scientific literature has yet to provide sufficient evidence regarding the pathophysiology of cording. The objective of this protocol is to evaluate the utility of non invasive vascular imaging for assessing the pathophysiology of cording in a small study cohort of patients who were treated for breast cancer. The hypothesis is that cording may have a vascular etiology
Study participants with primary breast cancer will receive a standard chemotherapy with an anthracycline and a taxane as well as trastuzumab in case of HER2-positive tumors at doses and duration in concordance to current treatment guidelines. Patients will be receive and benefit in addition currently not in the neoadjuvant setting registered medication as lapatinib or bevacizumab of which significant increases of cure (pCR) rates have been reported in previous phase III studies. Patients randomized to carboplatin will receive in addition to the described backbone therapies a potentially active agent which suggested synergy of efficacy with chemotherapies as well as targeted agents. Patients might have the risk of an increase in toxicities due to the added agents and will have additional burden due to investigations required for study participation. However, due to the severity of the underlying disease and the high risk of relapse and death due to the stage of disease, this increase in toxicity and burden appears less relevant compared to the potential higher efficacy and finally cure rate by the incorporated treatments.
This is a biomarker study with the goal of measuring changes in proteins and gene methylation. This study is not intended for use in diagnosing, mitigating, treating, curing, or preventing disease. The purpose of this study is to determine if Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) alone and in combination with celecoxib (Celebrex, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID), to decrease breast cancer risk by their effect on certain biological indicators (biomarkers) of breast cancer risk (called PGE2, COX-2, and 15-PGDH) and cell changes in the breast.
This study is designed to compare the performance and safety of the AirXpander tissue expander to standard saline expanders in patients undergoing two-stage breast reconstruction following mastectomy.
To determine the impact on Interpreting Physician performance in detecting breast cancer, as defined by the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC), when Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) and screening mammography (XRM) are combined, compared to screening mammography alone in asymptomatic women with >50% parenchymal density and a screening mammogram assigned a BI-RADS Assessment Category 1 (negative) or 2 (normal with benign findings). The effect of the improved Reader performance is illustrated by plotting the ROC curves for XRM alone and XRM+ABUS. If Reader performance improves with the addition of ABUS to the XRM, the area under the curve (AUC) for XRM+ABUS (AUCXRM+ABUS) will be greater than the area under the curve for XRM Alone (AUCXRM Alone). This difference is represented as ∆AUCABUS. The null and alternative hypotheses can be formally expressed as follows: H0: ∆AUCABUS = 0, AUCXRM+ABUS = AUCXRM Alone The null hypothesis is that Reader performance will be unchanged with the addition of ABUS to a screening mammogram assigned a BI-RADS Assessment Category of 1 or 2. HA: ∆AUCABUS ≠ 0, AUCXRM+ABUS ≠ AUCXRM Alone The alternative hypothesis is that Reader performance will be changed with the addition of ABUS to a screening mammogram assigned a BI-RADS Assessment Category of 1 or 2. A statistically significant change will be considered equivalent to a statistically significant improvement if the estimated value of AUCXRM+ABUS is greater than that of AUCXRM Alone with statistical significance at an alpha level of .05 for a two-sided test.
A prospective population-based cohort study is being conducted in Ontario to evaluate whether the performance of Oncotype DX® changes the treatment recommended and the treatment received in women or men with node negative, ER positive breast cancer who are receiving (or will receive) endocrine therapy and who are candidates for chemotherapy. One thousand eligible consenting women and men will have their tumor tissue specimen sent to Genomic Health where the Oncotype DX® assay will be performed.
The FB-8 study is designed as an open label, single arm, Phase I dose-escalation study evaluating the combination of weekly paclitaxel with neratinib and trastuzumab in women with metastatic, HER2-positive breast cancer. The primary aim of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of the three-drug combination.
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of a 10-wk cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) intervention vs. a single-day psycho-educational seminar on psychosocial adaptation and physiological adaptation in women being treated for stage I-III breast cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well giving fluocinonide cream works in treating symptoms of vaginal dryness and painful sexual intercourse in patients with breast cancer undergoing hormone therapy. Fluocinonide cream may prevent or lessen vaginal dryness and painful sexual intercourse in patients undergoing hormone therapy.
