Filter by:A pragmatic randomized clinical trial of patients with locally advanced breast cancer randomized to either proton or photon therapy and followed longitudinally for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, health-related quality of life, and cancer control outcomes. Quality of life is the outcome measure for the estimated primary completion date of December, 2024, www.radcomp.org.
The purpose of this study is compare different doses of capecitabine to see if one is better than the other in terms of efficacy and toxicity.
Preliminary results from prospective screening trials show that Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) is more sensitive and more specific than conventional digital mammography (DM). However, large randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are needed to confirm these promising results. Furthermore, potential side effects of DBT in the screening setting have to be properly evaluated. In particular, the major concern is about overdiagnosis and its consequences; overdiagnosis refers to the detection of cancers at screening, which would not have become clinically apparent in the woman's lifetime. This RCT was designed to compare benefits and harms of DBT in a population-based screening program with conventional DM. The primary outcome parameter will be the difference between the two tests in rates of advanced cancers detected at the subsequent round and interval cancers (within the first two years after the study screening round). Secondary outcomes measures will be diagnostic performance indicators for organised breast screening (i.e, cancer detection rate, recall rate, false positive rate, positive predictive value), parameters used in cost-effectiveness analysis, pathologic and biological characteristics of screen-detected cancers.
Investigators designed a phase II study to evaluate safety and efficacy of lung and liver stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) in oligometastatic breast cancer patients unsuitable for surgery, using VMAT RapidArc approach.
The main objective of this randomized controlled trial is to test the association between standard cardiac risk factors, biomarkers and parameters of echocardiography, electrocardiography, and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, (predictors) and subsequent occurrence, frequency and severity of clinical or subclinical cardiotoxicity (outcome) within and between-groups, before start of chemotherapy, during treatment and at 1, 5, and 10 years after the completion of the chemotherapy among women with early breast cancer.
This is an open-label, multicenter, global Phase 2 basket study of entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors that harbor an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene fusion. Patients will be assigned to different baskets according to tumor type and gene fusion.
This study examines the extent of systemic muscle loss and the degree of fatigue experienced by breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. This study seeks to identify whether muscle loss occurs outside the radiation fields and if muscle loss is correlated with the degree of fatigue.
This study will examine the outcomes of lumpectomy, surgery to remove a tumor, without sentinel node biopsy (SNB) for women at least 65 years of age with clinically node-negative breast cancer. Clinically node-negative means that during a physical exam your doctor cannot feel or see that any lymph nodes near the breast area are swollen and there is also no imaging evidence, such as from a mammogram, of nodal involvement.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the combination of docetaxel and carboplatin is an effective treatment for patients with triple negative breast cancer.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the molecular biology of the tumor in relation to treatment response to chemotherapy, in particular paclitaxel compared to the combination paclitaxel and carboplatin. The study is carried out in two different, separate cohorts: Cohort I: Patients with large primary breast cancer (> 2.0 cm) including locally advanced disease, are treated with weekly paclitaxel for 12 weeks, before continuing on anthracycline containing regimen for another 12 weeks before surgery. Patient are randomized 1:1 to receive carboplatin in addition to paclitaxel for the first 12 weeks of the treatment. Cohort II: Patients with metastatic disease, available for biopsies before and during therapy are included to receive paclitaxel for 24 weeks. Patients are randomized 1:1 to receive paclitaxel alone or paclitaxel in combination with carboplatin.
