Filter by:Women with breast cancer who report insomnia that started or worsened during breast cancer diagnosis and treatment will be enrolled in a group behavioral trial to one of two arms testing cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia against a mindfulness-based therapy.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of DHP107 (Oral Paclitaxel, Korea brand name: Liporaxel®) compared to IV Paclitaxel in patients with Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well hypofractionated radiation therapy works in preventing the return of tumor cells in breast cancer patients following surgery. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of bexarotene in preventing breast cancer in patients at high risk for breast cancer. Bexarotene belongs to a class of drugs that are called rexinoids, and it may reduce the incidence of breast tumors.
A Phase 2, open-label, multicenter international study will be performed to evaluate the efficacy of MCLA-128-based combinations. Three combination treatments will be evaluated, two in Cohort 1 and one in Cohort 2. MCLA-128 (zenocutuzumab) is given in combinations in two metastatic breast cancer (MBC) populations, Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (HER) 2-positive/amplified (Cohort 1) and Estrogen Receptor-positive/low HER2 expression (Cohort2). Two combinations treatments will be evaluated in Cohort 1, the doublet and triplet. Initially zenocutuzumab is given in combination with trastuzumab in the doublet. After the safety of the doublet has been assessed in 4-6 patients, MCLA-128 is given in combination with trastuzumab and vinorelbine in the triplet, in parallel to the efficacy expansion of the doublet. The doublet and triplet combinations are both evaluated in two steps with an initial safety run-in followed by a cohort efficacy expansion. In total up to 40 patients evaluable for efficacy are included in both the doublet and triplet. In Cohort 2 zenocutuzumab is administered in combination with the same previous endocrine therapy on which progressive disease is radiologically documented. A total of up to 40 patients evaluable for efficacy are included in the Cohort 2.
This is a non-randomized, open-label, multi-site study to collect safety and efficacy data on an intraoperative imaging system, the LUM Imaging System (LUM015 imaging agent in conjunction with the LUM imaging device), in identifying residual cancer in the tumor bed of female breast cancer patients. During the study, study physicians and clinical staff will complete hands-on training in anticipation of the upcoming pivotal study. Site-specific or user-specific issues related to the use of the device will be identified and addressed. Additionally, the data collected in the study will be used to continue training the tumor detection algorithm of the device. In this study, patients will be injected with LUM015 prior to surgery. The study physicians will perform lumpectomy procedures according to his or her institution's standard of care practice. After the main specimen removal is completed, the study physician will use the LUM Imaging Device to image the tumor bed. Therapeutic shaves will be removed based on the recommendation of the LUM Imaging System. Patients will be followed until their first standard of care post-operative follow-up visit.
General anesthesia is the conventional technique used for breast surgery. breast surgery is associated with a high incidence of postoperative pain, it is estimated that over 50 % of women suffer chronic pain following breast cancer surgery. Regional anesthesia is a good alternative to general anesthesia for breast cancer surgery, providing superior analgesia and fewer side effects related to a standard opiate-based analgesia. there is no evident optimal regional techniques for operative procedures on the breast and axilla, like high thoracic epidural, cervical epidural, paravertebral block, intrerpleural block, PECs block, serratus plane block and segmental thoracic spinal anesthesia. Regional anesthesia decreases operative stress, provides beneficial hemodynamic effects especially for critically ill patients and decreases postoperative morbidity and mortality. Also it reduces post‑operative nausea and vomiting and provides prolonged post‑operative sensory block, minimizing narcotic requirements. Additionally, this application positively affects the early start of feeding and mobilization.
Emerging evidence suggests that both extending kindness towards others and self-kindness practices may have beneficial effects on well-being. This randomized pilot clinical trial will investigate the efficacy of two kindness interventions -acts of kindness (to self or to other) and loving-kindness meditation- for use with early-stage breast cancer survivors.
The estrogen-dependent nature of breast cancer was first reported in 1896 with the publication of George Beatson's observations on the regression of breast cancer following oophorectomy. Endocrine therapy, targeting ER either directly by selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and pure antagonists or indirectly by aromatase inhibitors (AIs) that block estrogen production, remains the mainstay of treatment of hormone-sensitive breast cancer in the adjuvant and metastatic settings. Intrinsic (de novo) and acquired endocrine resistance constitutes an important clinical challenge in the treatment of breast cancer and multiple mechanisms are suspected to underlie the emergence of endocrine resistance. The role of the estrogen receptor (ER), encoded by the ESR1 gene, in normal mammary gland development and the progression of breast cancer is well established. ESR1 mutations, occurring in 10 to 30% of ER-positive metastatic breast cancer resistant to AIs, lead to ligand-independent activation of the ER. For patients treated with AIs, monitoring of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) for ESR1, PIK3CA and AKT1 mutations could permit early detection of resistance to AIs as recently reported during 2016 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) meeting.
This research study is studying a combination of drugs as a possible treatment for metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. The drugs involved in this study are: - Cabozantinib (XL184) - Nivolumab
