Filter by:This study is a single-center, single-arm, open-label, phase II clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Paclitaxel Polymeric Micelles for Injection for the treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, lung cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal carcinoma, or breast cancer that are resistant to Taxanes. Subjects are given paclitaxel polymeric micelles for injection, three weeks constitutes one cycle of treatment. If subject does not develop disease progression , the subject continues treatment until disease progression (RECIST 1.1) or develops an intolerable toxicity, initiation of a new anti-cancer drug, withdrawal from the study, death, or loss of follow-up. This is a single-arm, small-sample clinical study with the primary efficacy goal of objective remission rate (ORR). The parameters of the trial were set: assuming a class I error of 0.025 unilaterally, power=90%, and a 15% improvement in ORR for objective remission rate, a total of 20 subjects would be required, and a total of 25 would be required for enrolment, taking into account a 20% shedding.

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant treatment with TQB2102 for injection in patients with Her2 positive breast cancer.
The aims of this study are To evaluate the CT features of incidental breast lesions on chest CT and subsequently suggest useful criteria for referral to a specialized breast unit.
Although breast reconstruction is an integral part of breast cancer treatment, there is little high-quality evidence to indicate which method is the most effective. The objective of this study is to compare implant-based and autologous breast reconstruction, in non-radiated patients. The primary outcome is patient reported breast-specific quality of life/satisfaction and the secondary outcomes are complications, factors affecting satisfaction, and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, the study aims to improve the evidence for trial decision-making in breast reconstruction. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) are generally thought to provide the most solid scientific evidence, but there are significant barriers to conducting RCTs in breast reconstruction, making both recruitment and achieving unbiased and generalisable results a challenge. The study design partially randomised patient preference trial (RPPT) might be a way to overcome these challenges. In the present study, patients who consent to randomisation will be randomised to implant-based and autologous breast reconstruction, whereas patients with strong preferences will be able to choose method. The study is designed as a superiority trial based on BREAST-Q and 124 participants will be randomised. In the preference cohort patients will be included until 62 participants have selected the least popular alternative. Follow-up will be 60-months. Embedded qualitative studies and within-trial economic evaluation will be performed.
Eclectic is a strategy trial; once the class of treatment (endocrine therapy or chemotherapy) has been allocated according to 16α-18F-fluoro-17β-oestradiol (18F-FES) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) results and circulating tumor biomarkers, clinicians will decide which treatment to use.
Due to their genetic instability, breast tumors that do not express receptors for Estrogens, Progestagens or amplify the Her2 / neu oncogene [called triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)] and other tumors such as melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, accumulate numerous mutations that make them highly resistant to different regimens of chemo- or radiotherapy, thereby generating high morbidity and mortality. However, immunology can turn the genetic instability of tumors into the Achilles' tendon. Evidence of this has been revealed in Phase I clinical studies in patients with melanoma and lung cancer in an advanced stage of metastasis treated with Ipilimumab (anti-CTLA4) to decrease immunosuppression, in whom peptides containing mutations presented in Major Complex molecules Histocompatibility of Class I (MHC I) of the tumor itself results in their recognition as "foreign" neo-antigens leading to the efficient destruction of the tumor by anti-tumor CD8 + T lymphocytes that are amplified when they are vaccinated with these peptides. For this reason, the identification of non-synonymous mutations of single amino acid and vaccination with 25 amino acid peptides that incorporate these mutations (synthetic vaccines) is emerging today as an alternative for immunotherapy of cancers responsible for high mortality in humans. In an approach that takes 16 weeks, today, it is possible to go from the analysis of the tumor's transcriptome (which allows identifying the universe of tumor mutations) to the patient's vaccination with a personalized vaccine that contains neo-antigens of his tumor. TNBC is the most aggressive breast tumor, representing around 15% of breast cancers in our environment. While generally, at least 30% of women with other types of metastatic breast cancer survive 5 years after diagnosis, most patients diagnosed with metastatic TNBC die within this time. The lack of selective therapies and the poor prognosis of patients with TNBC make their therapeutic management difficult, so the implementation of new therapies for this type of tumor is the main focus of researchers who seek more effective and selective treatments to improve the life expectancy of patients without compromising their quality of life. The genetic instability and high rate of mutations of the TNBC most likely favor the generation of neo-epitopes. Still, due to the immunosuppressive environment of the tumor, it escapes the immunosurveillance of the immune system. Despite the high mortality induced by this tumor, a percentage of patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy with agents such as Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide (AC) + Taxanes respond to this chemotherapy regimen. In particular, the anti-tumor effect of AC is attributed to two things: (i) the direct cytotoxic effect on the tumor cell, (ii) the immunostimulation of T lymphocytes promoted by Immunogenic Cell Death (ICD) selectively induced by these drugs. Therefore, in this project, we propose to carry out the first clinical study in Colombia of vaccination of patients with TNBC with synthetic peptides that contain mutations of their own tumor to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of this type of personalized vaccine as a therapeutic alternative for this tumor. Achieving the specific objectives set out in this project would mean that we have been validated in Colombia the experimental design necessary to identify unique epitopes in tumors and demonstrate the safety and immunogenicity of these vaccines. We consider that having achieved the above; we will have taken an important step towards the implementation in our country of the use of this type of vaccine for immunotherapy not only of TNBC but of other tumors such as glioblastoma, gastric, esophagus, and pancreas, highly fatal due to its high mutation rate.
1. This study aims to evaluate the abnormalities of CASP3 gene in chemo resistance in breast cancer by FISH technique. evaluate the abnormalities of CASP3 gene in chemo resistance in breast cancer by FISH technique. 2. Detect CASP3 gene abnormality relation to survival, chemoresponse & chemoresistance. 3. Correlate CASP3 gene abnormalities with available clinicopathological data of breast cancer patients.
This phase II trial evaluates tamoxifen, with or without omega-3 fatty acids, for reducing risk of breast cancer among postmenopausal and overweight or obese women who are at increased risk of developing breast cancer. Tamoxifen is a selective estrogen receptor modulator. It works by blocking the effects of the hormone estrogen in the breast. Tamoxifen is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for prevention of breast cancer in women at increased risk. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to decrease the amount of fats made in the liver. Omega-3 fatty acids may work to prevent cancer in overweight or obese individuals. Tamoxifen with or without omega-3 fatty acids may be effective at reducing risk of breast cancer among women who are postmenopausal, overweight or obese, and at increased risk.
The investigators intend to conduct a prospective cohort study to detect E2 levels during endocrine therapy in Chinese breast cancer patients using LC-MS/MS methods, and to determine the proportion of patients with premenopausal E2 levels (OFR or E2 insufficiency) during AIs or FUL endocrine therapy. To further explore the correlation between serum E2 levels and the efficacy of endocrine therapy in Chinese patients, so as to ensure the safety and efficacy of endocrine therapy for patients, and pave the way for further providing more accurate individualized treatment programs.
