Filter by:This three-cohort, multi-stage, randomized, Phase II, multicenter trial will evaluate the safety and tolerability and estimate the efficacy of cobimetinib plus paclitaxel versus placebo plus paclitaxel in Cohort I, of cobimetinib plus atezolizumab plus paclitaxel in Cohort II, and of cobimetinib plus atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel in Cohort III in participants with metastatic or locally advanced, triple-negative adenocarcinoma of the breast who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Participants may continue on study treatment until the development of progressive disease (PD) or the loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity, and/or consent withdrawal. The Cohort I target sample size is 12 participants for the safety run-in stage and approximately 90 participants in the expansion stage. Each of Cohorts II and III will consist of a safety run-in stage of approximately 15 participants followed by an expansion stage of approximately 15 participants.
There will be two phase II cohorts for pembro plus trastuzumab: one cohort will be for patients with unresectable HER2 overexpressing gastric or GEJ cancers, the other cohort will be for patients with HER2 overexpressing metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The pembro plus ado-trastuzumab emtansine phase II arm will be for patients with HER2 overexpressing MBC. There will be two phase II cohorts for pembro plus cetuximab: one cohort will be for patients with HNSCC, the other cohort will be for patients with K-ras, B-raf, N-ras wildtype metastatic CRC.
Paclitaxel 30 mg/m2 twice/week Trastuzumab 4mg/kg, loading dose, then 2 mg/kg weekly and Concurrent RT (to start within one week from first dose of Paclitaxel/Trastuzumab) to breast, supraclavicular, axillary fields, 45 Gy @ 1.8 Gy/fraction, + 14 Gy @ 2 Gy/fraction to the primary tumor. At the end of chemo-radiation, Trastuzumab will be continued weekly until surgery and as per standard of care after surgery for up to 1 year total. **Surgery: Patients will undergo lumpectomy and axillary node dissection or modified radical mastectomy within two months following discontinuation of pre-operative systemic therapy, contingent upon recovery of skin toxicity. Pathologic response will be evaluated at the time of surgery. Additional tissue samples will be collected from the surgical specimen for assessment of tumor molecular characteristics. ***All patients may undergo four cycles of post-operative Standard AC (doxorubicin 60 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) or four cycles of post-operative epirubicin and Cyclophosphamide (epirubicin 100 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m2) if doxorubicin is not available Tamoxifen as well or any alternative antihormonal therapy may be prescribed for five years for patients with hormone receptor positive tumors. Herceptin (Trastuzumab) will be prescribed for a total of 1 year since first dose as per standard of care.
Background/Main objective: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure widespread accepted in the treatment of different tumors, especially in the liver but its benefit is not yet well-known in breast cancer. Our main objective is to evaluate the usefulness of RFA in < 2cm malignant breast tumors to reduce the proportion of positive margins. Methodology: The investigator propose a single-center, single-blind, phase I and II randomized controlled trial. Phase I:Security of the cool-tip cluster electrode assessing the potential adverse effects in three stages: initial,intermediate and final. Phase II: Randomized clinical trial, 2 parallel groups with 37 patients in each one. Experimental group: percutaneous RFA previous to conventional lumpectomy. Control group: conventional surgery with lumpectomy. The number of positive margins in both groups, and the need of extending margin resection will be assessed intraoperatively. Inclusion criteria: women >40 years, infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma by biopsy. The tumor must be unique, visible by ultrasound, smaller than 2cm and located > 1 cm from the chest wall and the skin. Patients will be followed up for a period of two years to assess cosmetic result, short -term and long -term complications and recurrences. Expected results: The "cool-tip" (cluster) ablation method reduces by at least 30% the risk of intraoperative extensions for positive margins during lumpectomy compared to conventional surgery in breast tumors with a diameter < 2 cm. Therefore this procedure may reduce the risk of second surgeries and the removed volume of tissue.Consequently the final cosmetic result should be improved.
This research study is comparing Dual-Energy Contrast-Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) to MRI as a screening tool for breast cancer.
This trial will measure the fatigue in breast cancer patients. Two groups of patients will be realised: - Arm A: Physical activity during treatment - Arm B: No physical activity during treatment but after The aim of the study is to decrease fatigue, with adequate physical activity, in primary breast cancer patients who receive a treatment for their pathology.
Metastatic pleural effusion is a common complication of late-stage cancer and reduces the quality of life and survival of patients. The survival of patients with recurrent pleurisy by uncontrolled local or systemic treatment is less than 6 months. It is important to develop specific therapies to improve the quality of life and survival of patients with metastatic pleurisy. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal anti vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) which has proven effective in many indications in oncology. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenic factor which increases endothelial permeability. It plays a central role in many tumors of epithelial origin. In this context, it is legitimate to ask whether an antiangiogenic targeting VEGF may be effective in patients with metastatic pleurisy by decreasing local blood supply and over-permeability. No study has been interested in the intra-pleural pharmacokinetics of monoclonal antibodies and there are no predictive or prognostic biomarkers for metastatic pleural effusions. The investigators believe that intrapleural administration of bevacizumab will reduce the pleural vasculature permeability. It will neutralize VEGF present in pleural fluid and reduce the replenishment of effusion due to its prolonged half-life of 21 days. The investigators therefore propose a phase I study to determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended dose for phases II, studying the pharmacokinetics of intrapleural bevacizumab administered by an implantable device after evacuating a symptomatic metastatic pleurisy as part of a mammary carcinoma. The VEGF intrapleural levels and serum will be study and the time until a new puncture. Dyspnea will be evaluated as well as its impact on quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to see whether adding everolimus to hormone treatment before breast surgery will increase the chances of shrinking the breast cancer in those patients with hormone-responsive breast cancer and a lower Oncotype DX® Recurrence Score ( 25 or less), compared to prior experience with hormone therapy alone. Everolimus is a drug currently approved for use by the United States Food and Drug administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic kidney or breast cancer. Everolimus is considered investigational for non-metastatic breast cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of consuming "R" on quality of life in the areas of insomnia, fatigue, and depression in female breast cancer patients receiving multi-cycle adjuvant chemotherapy.
This study is an open label, randomized, multicenter trial of MM-302 plus trastuzumab. The trial is designed to demonstrate whether MM-302 plus trastuzumab is more effective than the chemotherapy of physician's choice (CPC) plus trastuzumab in locally advanced/metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer patients. Patients may not have been previously treated with an anthracycline in any setting. Patients must have received prior treatment with trastuzumab in any setting, have either progressed or are intolerant to ado-trastuzumab emtansine in the metastatic or locally advanced setting, have either progressed or are intolerant to pertuzumab in the metastatic or locally advanced setting or had disease recurrence within 12 months of pertuzumab treatment in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting.
