Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the three-drug combination of tucatinib, trastuzumab, and eribulin in patients with de novo and recurrent unresectable metastatic HER-2/neu positive breast cancer as assessed by ORR, PFS and OS after prior treatment with a taxane, trastuzumab, and T-DM1.
Some people experience a side effect while they are receiving taxane called taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN). TIPN is pain in the arms and legs due to nerve damage caused by cancer treatment and may interfere with quality of life. The purpose of this study is to learn if acupuncture can prevent TIPN from getting worse. Acupuncture is a medical technique that involves insertion of very thin needles into specific areas on the body. We will compare real acupuncture (RA) to placebo (sham) acupuncture (SA). SA is done like RA, but will use different needles and target different sites or places on the body than RA. We are comparing RA to SA to learn whether RA can prevent TIPN from getting worse while receiving taxane.
Multi center, pivotal prospective, randomized clinical trial The proposed randomized controlled study will evaluate the benefits of adding the ClearEdge imaging device to the Standard of Care (SoC) of margins assessment in breast conserving surgeries. The study will assess whether there is an improvement in the detection of DCIS or invasive cancer involved margins by measuring whether removal at the time of primary surgical treatment can reduce the need for repeat surgeries as compared to the SoC, which does not use the device.
Breast irradiation is known to cause radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) many years later after radiotherapy. Recent studies suggest that RIHD could be an earlier complication and that subclinical cardiac injury can be detected such as myocardial perfusion defects. Myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a sensitive and specific technique able to detect perfusion abnormalities which are more frequent in left-sided breast cancer patients because of the cardiac exposure. The most used technique for breast cancer irradiation is tangential opposed field, but this technique exposes the left anterior descending coronary artery to high dose during left breast irradiation. There are different cardiac sparing techniques to reduce heart exposure such as: - Deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) which displaces the heart out of the radiation beam - Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) which decreases heart exposure to high doses but changes the dose distribution in the heart and increases lower doses.
The aim of this study is to investigate and possibly validate urinary biomarkers for breast cancer. During this study the focus will be on aberrations of selected genes as prognostic or predictive value has been shown for these genes in tissue, CTC or blood derived cfDNA. Proteins will be explored in urine as well. This is a prospective study in which urine samples will be collected from healthy volunteers and urine samples and a blood sample from cancer patients with breast cancer. The participants will be asked to provide a urine sample collected with the ColliPee® device and fill out an online questionnaire to collect usability data. Thereafter, the urine sample will be aliquoted to be used in the study to investigate the different urinary analytes.
The purpose of this two-arm pilot RCT is to evaluate processes and preliminary outcomes of a targeted QOL intervention vs. an attention control among young AA survivors post-treatment for early (I-II) & late (III) stage breast cancer.
This is a single-arm, open-label phase IV study of patients with advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer who are treated first line with ribociclib and standard of care endocrine treatment according to SmPC.
Surgery and radiotherapy in breast cancer patients can cause treatment changes and may affect the final breast appearance. In this study, we are trying to evaluate the post treatment breast photographs of the patients and subject these to Artificial Intelligence based program so as to classify into appropriate categories based upon changes from baseline. This automated solution will help in decreasing the time required to achieve this task by physicians in the clinic.
In this feasibility study, 60 women undergoing reconstruction will be randomly allocated to receive biological or synthetic mesh and followed for 6 months. The findings will tell us if patients and surgeons are comfortable with not being able to choose which mesh is used for the operation. In the larger surgical study, the investigators plan to measure patients' satisfaction with the reconstruction, patients' quality of life, complications from the operation and costs over 5 years.
The Motiva Flora® Tissue Expander clinical study (hereafter Motiva Flora® TE study) is a 6-month, open-label, prospective, multicentre post-marketing follow-up study designed to confirm the Safety and Effectiveness/Performance of Motiva Flora® TE in breast reconstruction surgery. The study will include 136 women, planned for staged breast reconstruction, in 6 countries (Spain, Belgium, France, Costa Rica, Chile and Panama). Breast tissue expansion and the final breast implant will be performed using devices from the Motiva Flora® TE catalogue.
