Filter by:Treatment selection for breast cancer is still largely empiric and guided by large randomized clinical trials on populations of patients. This approach is inadequate for the selection of individualized chemotherapy regimens. Estimates of benefits for individuals are extrapolations from the effects seen in these large trials, and do not necessarily apply to individual patients. The revolution in genomics promises to transform oncology care. By better defining cancer subtypes, a better understanding of breast cancer biology should help to guide treatment. The up-front phase we have decide to adopt play a pivotal role as it is useful for testing a targeted therapeutic drug such as olaparib wich also requires development of new biomarkers which may be useful for future studies. With this approach it could be possible to demonstrate drug target or biomarker effect in clinical setting and models the relationship between the pharmacodynamics and the pharmacokinetics. Additional benefits of this approach include the following: - It could facilitate rational drug selection, identify therapeutic failures early, and compress timelines for anticancer drug development. - It could provide initial rationale and guiding principles for further drug development based on studies in humans (rather than xenografts, where tissues of one species are transplanted to another species). - As it focuses on extensively characterizing how a drug works and whether it hits its intended target (including molecular imaging studies) in a limited number of patients it could yield results that would optimally inform and expedite the subsequent development of molecularly-targeted agents
At present, it is widely admitted not proposing immediate mammary reconstruction when an adjuvant radiotherapy is indicated because of the significant change of the cosmetic result (profit) and it whatever is the technique of reconstruction adopted. This is true all the more as it is about a reconstruction by prosthesis because of the prothetic died risk of hull(shell). Teams proposed immediate mammary reconstructions to expanding (carrier) patients of carcinoma infiltrating, sometimes locally moved forward. For these patients, was not brought back(reported) by increase of the risk of local or remote relapse. Two studies estimated afterward the feasibility of the mastectomy with immediate mammary reconstruction at the close of the chemotherapy and of the radiotherapy. The rate of morbidity is judged as acceptable. The rate of local second offense(recurrence) was similar to the patients benefiting from the classic therapeutic plan. During an other study ( M-RIC), it was shown that the inversion of therapeutic sequence is possible and that by prescribing the chemotherapy and the radiotherapy before immediate mammary reconstruction, the morbidity is acceptable. It is acquired that the chemotherapy néoadjuvant is equivalent to the post-operative chemotherapy as regards the global survival. On the other hand, the rate of histological answer, according to subgroups, is very different. This rate can vary of 9 % for tumors RH +, negative Her2 in 45 % for tumors RH-, Her2 over expression. There are 33 % for the RH +, Her2 + and of 35 % for triple-negative. The purpose of the investigators study is to estimate the rate of histological response during the inversion of therapeutic sequence to make sure of the oncologic safety(security), in particular by molecular subgroups, considering the heterogeneousness of the results(profits) after chemotherapy néoadjuvant only. Sataloff and Chevallier Classifications is the references and will be used here, but the investigators can also use Symmans classification in addition. The rate of local and metastatic second offenses(recurrences) will also be estimated.
This research study is a way of gaining new knowledge about whether patients can omit radiation treatment after undergoing a lumpectomy, also known as "breast conserving surgery". In this trial, we are attempting to identify which patients may not need radiation.
The serratus anterior muscle plane (SAM) block associated with pectoral nerve block type I (PEC I) may be a safe and effective alternative for the intraoperative of breast surgery, since there is evidence of pain reduction. However, correlation between regional anesthesia, postoperative pain and inflammatory response in breast surgery has not been demonstrated. The aim of this study is to compare the standard intravenous analgesia versus systemic analgesia associated with the SAM block and PEC I during breath cancer surgery. The following parameters will be evaluated: consumption of opioid intra and post-operative; post-operative pain and release of plasma inflammatory cytokines. It is a clinical prospective, randomized and controlled study. 50 individuals will be randomly divided into two groups. A group of patients receive general anesthesia during surgery and intravenous analgesia after the surgery and another group will receive general anesthesia associated with SAM and PEC I block during intraoperative and postoperative systemic analgesia. The postoperative pain will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale pain in the recovery room and 24 hours after surgery. Blood sample will be collected for determination of serum cytokines before surgery and 24 hours after the surgery. Also, it will be evaluated the development of chronic neuropathic pain 12 months after mastectomy, the use of analgesic medication, quality of life, depressive symptoms, and the levels of interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6, and IL-10 as predictors of pain and depression.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety between docetaxel combined with doxorubicin (epirubicin) and cyclophosphamide followed by gemcitabine combined with cisplatin and doxorubicin (epirubicin) combined with cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel for high risk triple negative breast cancer predicted by the mRNA-lncRNA integrated signature and validation the efficacy of the signature.
This is a randomized trial for patients with metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer who have progressed on an aromatase inhibitor plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor (either palbociclib or ribociclib) to either fulvestrant alone or fulvestrant with ribociclib (LEE-011). The purpose of the trial is to determine whether there is continued benefit for patients to remain on a CDK4/6 inhibitor at the time of switching anti-estrogen therapy. As ribociclib and palbociclib have a similar toxicity and drug profile and mechanism of action, we feel that it is appropriate for patients to receive either drug with an aromatase inhibitor prior to randomization.
This is a dose-escalation Phase Ib clinical trial in 18 patients with newly diagnosed Stage I-IV ER+/HER2- breast cancer, with the primary cancer in place. These patients have not received prior therapy for their breast cancer and intend to undergo surgery after four cycles of therapy. This is an open-label study, and investigators and subjects are not blinded to the treatment. The reason for using an open-label study design is because this is a dose-escalation trial, and the investigators need to determine the potential toxicity before a decision can be made to continue the dose escalation procedures. The assignment of patients will not be randomized, as this is a dose-escalation trial.
This randomized clinical trial compares two systemic treatments for HER2-positive breast cancer. The treatments are given either prior to breast surgery (as neoadjuvant treatment) or after breast surgery (as adjuvant treatment). In the investigational group (Group A) the study participants will receive a combination of two drugs directed at HER2 (two anti-HER2 antibodies) plus a chemotherapy agent (docetaxel) for a brief duration, and the patients allocated to the comparator group (Group B) will be treated with chemotherapy plus one anti-HER2 treatment (trastuzumab) for one year.
Breast cancer is an optimal "model disease" for studying personalized medicine. Breast cancer was the first malignancy for which a predictive factor forecasting response to therapy was identified nearly 50 years ago; the expression of the estrogen receptor (ER). Furthermore, breast cancer is by far the malignancy in which prognostic and predictive factors have been most extensively studied. Primary medical treatment (pre-surgical medical therapy) offers a unique setting to explore predictive factors due to the fact that primary breast cancers are easily accessible to repeated tissue sampling and evaluation of therapy response both clinically and radiologically. For many years, the investigators have studied predictive factors in primary medical treatment of breast cancer. In the present project, the investigators will implement a new trial concept where the current knowledge from previous trials with respect to predictive markers (hormone receptors, HER2; TP53, CHEK2 and RB1), will be combined with massive parallel sequencing (MPS). Thereby, the investigators aim to design the "next-generation" primary medical treatment where 1) therapy regimens are individualized based on a limited number of known predictive factors and, 2) MPS is used to explore additional predictive factors and their co-regulators in order to fully identify the mechanisms of drug sensitivity / resistance across individual tumours and pave the way for further personalized breast cancer therapy in the future. As for the new era of "genomic medicine", the current trial concept will allow individual tumours to be characterized by their unique gene mutation / epigenetic modification profile upfront, to allocate patients to their optimal personalized medicine as compared to "classical" drug testing through phase II/III trials.
A randomized screening trial to compare the diagnostic accuracy of screening for breast cancer with three-dimensional digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) plus two-dimensional full-field digital mammography (FFDM) versus FFDM alone.
