Filter by:International, open label, window of opportunity phase II trial that aims to evaluate the effects of immunotherapy based treatment combinations in women with untreated, histologically confirmed, operable, ER+, HER2-negative breast cancer.
This study examines effectiveness of peer support of breast cancer patients. Half of the participants received peer support via telephone in addition to usual care and another half are give the usual care only.
This is a Phase II, Open-labeled, Randomised, Parallel, Non-comparative, Two-arms, Investigator-initiated Clinical Trial of SHR-1210 (Anti-PD-1 Antibody) in Combination With Apatinib (VEGFR2 inhibitor) in Subjects with Advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Subjects with advanced Triple Negative Breast Cancer will be recruited. Patients will be randomised to two treatment arms of this study. One arm is SHR-1210 combination with apatinib daily dosing, and the other arm is SHR-1210 combination with apatinib intermittent dosing; each arm will enrolle10-29 subjects (Simons two stage design). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR-1210 combination with apatinib in the treatment of advanced TNBC.
ne of the most common cancers in women worldwide is breast cancer. A common used therapy in early-stage and metastatic breast cancer involves chemotherapy. Taxanes, microtubule-targeting agents (MTAs), are one of the most used chemotherapeutic agents in breast cancer patients. Unfortunately, this treatment comes with many unfortunate side effects. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of these common side effects. This condition involves paresthesia, numbness and/or burning pain in distal limbs. Eventually, loss of temperature sensation, loss of tendon reflexes and pain sensation can occur. Yet, no therapies have been developed to treat CIPN. At the moment, only symptom management is possible. Not only will this condition affect the patients' daily activities, but a chemotherapy dose reduction could also be necessary, influencing the outcome and overall survival rate of the patient. A new and emerging treatment for CIPN is photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) or low-level laser therapy. During PBMT, visible and/or (near)-infrared laser light is used at the affected area to improve tissue repair and thereby promote functional recovery of peripheral nerves. Studies have shown positive results for patients with diabetic neuropathy. However, no studies have been undertaken specifically for taxane-induced neuropathy (TIN). We hypothesize that PBMT is an effective treatment strategy to prevent sensory symptoms associated with TIN. This can lead to an improved quality of life for the patient and no need for a chemotherapy dose reduction.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical role of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and the relationship between the occurrence of breast cancer related lymphedema (BCRL) and dietary factors in breast cancer survivors who underwent surgical treatments.
Because of mammography screening increasingly more women are diagnosed with centimeter or subcentimeter node-negative breast cancer (i.e., T1abN0); these tumors account for approximately 19% of all newly diagnosed breast cancers in Sweden. Although the long term relapse-free survival rates among patients with such tumors is as high as ≥90%, some reports suggest that certain patient subgroups may have rates <75%. Firmly established prognostic and predictive factors for patients with T1abN0 tumors are, however, lacking. This is a nationwide, register-based cohort study investigating prognostic and predictive factors in women with centimeter or subcentimeter breast cancer. The study hypotheses are: 1) Established prognostic and/or predictive factors in overall breast cancer are prognostic and/or predictive factors also in centimeter or subcentimeter node-negative breast cancer; 2) The established relative reduction in risk of recurrence and death of adjuvant treatment for overall breast cancer are similar in centimeter or subcentimeter node-negative breast cancer.
In a retrospective study the investigators defined quantitative action levels based on dose and volume measures for adaptive radiation therapy in breast cancer patients (Zegers et al. Acta Oncol 2017). The aim of this study is to validate these parameters in a prospective study.
The FoRtitude trial aims to evaluate an eHealth intervention designed to teach breast cancer survivors strategies to manage anxiety about cancer recurrence. The eHealth intervention includes educational content and interactive tools, designed to teach coping strategies and/or inert content, depending on the study participant's randomization assignment. The FoRtitude study will examine whether three coping strategies (relaxation training, cognitive restructuring, worry practice) are more effective than general health-related content in reducing fear of cancer recurrence.
This is an open-label, single arm study to explore whether 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 PET/CT scan can predict the efficacy and adverse events of apatinib in patients with malignancies. Integrin αvβ3 has been shown to play an important role in angiogenesis and up-regulated obviously in various types of tumor cells and activated endothelial cells. The arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) tripeptide sequence can bind to integrin αvβ3 with high affinity and specificity. The 18F-ALF-NOTA-PRGD2 will highly combine with αvβ3, and thus will monitor the antiangiogenic status.In the current study, investigators propose to evaluate the feasibility of 18F-RGD PET/CT in monitoring efficacy and adverse events of apatinib in malignancies.
Background: ETBX-011, ETBX-061, and ETBX-051 are cancer vaccines. Their goal is to teach the immune system to target and kill cancer cells. The vaccines target 3 proteins found in many types of cancer. Researchers think targeting all 3 proteins in unison will have the best results. Objective: To test the safety of combining ETBX-011, ETBX-061, and ETBX-051 and their effects on the immune system. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with advanced cancer that has not responded to standard therapies Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood, urine, and heart tests Scan: They will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. Participants will receive the 3 vaccines through 3 shots under the skin every 3 weeks for 3 doses, then every 8 weeks for up to 1 year. They will have blood and urine tests at each vaccine visit. They will have scans and other measurements of their tumor after 9 weeks and then at their vaccine visits every 8 weeks. Participants will keep a diary of symptoms at the injection site. Participants will have a visit 90 days after their final treatment. This will include a physical exam and blood and urine tests. If they have any ongoing side effects, they will be followed until these end or are not changing. After this visit, they will be called every 3 months for the first year, every 6 months for the next 2 years, then every 12 months for another 2 years to see how they are doing. Participants will have the option to enroll in a long-term follow-up study. ...
