Filter by:This trial studies how well exercise and nutrition education work in improving physical function and quality of life in older breast cancer survivors. Exercise and nutrition education may help to improve the level of fitness, cardiovascular health, and quality of life in breast cancer survivors.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is administered to treat invasive breast cancer before surgery. It offers the opportunity to evaluate tumor response to treatment in aggressive disease, and guide additional therapies for patients with inadequate response, if detected early. Investigators propose to develop a sodium breast MRI technique that will allow to assess the early metabolic response of breast cancer to NACT, occurring before late structural changes can be detected with standard MRI. This study will scan 12 patients using 1H/23Na MRI at 7 T and DCE MRI with triple-negative breast cancer undergoing AC-T therapy (2 months of Adriamycin + Cyclophosphamide, then 3 months of Taxol): at baseline (pre-NACT); after the first AC cycle (2 weeks); after AC treatment (2 months); after complete NACT (5 months, pre-surgery).
This is a Phase Ib, open label, dose escalation study of spartalizumab + LAG525 in combination with NIR178, capmatinib, MCS110, or canakinumab, followed by a dose expansion in adult patients with advanced or metastatic TNBC. During the dose-escalation part of each treatment arm, patients will be treated with fixed doses of spartalizumab + LAG525 in combination with partner investigational drugs to be escalated until the MTD is reached or a lower RDE is established: NIR178, capmatinib, MCS110, or canakinumab. It is anticipated that other partner study drugs may be added in the future by protocol amendment. After the determination of the MTD/RDE for a particular treatment arm, dose expansion may begin in that arm in order to further assess safety, tolerability, PK/PD, and anti-tumor activity of each combination at the MTD/RDE. Dose expansion arms may initiate only after consideration by the Investigators and Novartis of all available toxicity information, the assessment of risk to future patients from the BLRM, and the available PK, preliminary efficacy, and PD information. There is no requirement for dose-escalation treatment arms reaching an MTD/RDE to proceed to dose expansion.
Chemotherapies often induce side effects. This study examines whether hypnosis, music therapy versus standard therapy influence these side effects.
This phase II trial studies how well Akt/ERK inhibitor ONC201 (ONC201) with a methionine-restricted (MR) diet works in treating participants with triple negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot be removed by surgery. ONC201 activates a process that leads to the death of a cell. ONC201 is able to target tumor cells to get rid of them, but does not affect normal cells. MR diet is a methionine-free amino acid modified medical food. The addition of an intermittent MR diet may enhance the activity of ONC201. Giving ONC201 and an MR diet may work better in treating participants with breast cancer.
This trial studies how well occupational therapy (occupational therapist-led work intervention) works in facilitating work maintenance or re-entry to the workforce for stages I to III breast cancer patients who will be undergoing curative intent chemotherapy. Occupational therapy may help cancer patients maintain employment or successfully return to work soon after treatment.
Currently, breast cancer patients who are treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before surgery may have a biopsy clip placed in the lymph node at the time of or shortly after percutaneous biopsy. Following 12-20+ weeks of NAC, pre-surgical localization of the sampled axillary lymph node using a radioactive seed can be done up to 5 days prior to surgery. Localization of the sampled lymph node in patients with complete imaging response to NAC can be technically challenging if the biopsy clip is not sonographically visible. This study is designed to see if it is feasible to place a Magseed, which is magnetic seed, into the abnormal node either at the time of fine needle aspiration (FNA) or after NAC, just prior to surgery, and to be able to accurately identify the abnormal node at the time of surgery.
This study will determine the recommend dose of palbociclib in combination with letrozole and another medication, Ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). Additionally, researchers will determine how well this recommended dose will improve outcomes in this type of advanced breast cancer. The study will include a safety lead-in with escalating dosing of palbociclib to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of palbociclib in this combination and an expanded phase II of palbociclib at the RP2D in combination with letrozole and Ado- trastuzumab Emtansine (T-DM1). The starting dose of palbociclib will be 75 milligrams (mg) by mouth (PO) daily for each 21 day cycle. If 0 of 3 patients at the 75mg dose level experience a dose limiting toxicity (DLT), the next 3 patients will be enrolled at the next higher dosing cohort of 100mg PO daily for each 21 day cycle. If 0 of 3 patients at the 100mg dose level experience a DLT, the next 3 patients will be enrolled at the next higher dosing cohort of 125mg PO daily for each 21 day cycle. If 0 of 3 patients at the 125mg dose level experience a DLT, 125mg PO daily of palbociclib will be the phase II recommended dose used in the phase II expanded cohort. Patients receiving the phase II recommended dose in phase I will be enrolled in phase II of the study. During safety lead-in and expanded phase II, Letrozole 2.5mg PO will be administered daily for each 21 day cycle and T-DM1 3.6 milligrams per kilograms intravenously (IV) will be administered on Day 1 of each 21 day cycle.
Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in women. Adjuvant chemotherapy significantly reduces the risk of recurrence of high-risk breast cancer. However, about 30% of patients still have distant metastasis or local recurrence after chemotherapy. Moreover, 60% of patients had 3-4 degrees of adverse drug reactions during chemotherapy. The purpose of the study is to investigate relationship between gut microbiome and adjuvant chemotherapy in early breast cancer patients.
The purpose of this clinical research is to define the optimal uptake time of 68Ga-OPS202 as a PET imaging agent to be used to detect and localize breast cancer somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2) positive lesions. 68Ga-OPS202 is a radiolabelled imaging agent to be used in association with PET. 68Ga-OPS202 is made of two main components: 1) OPS202, an antagonistic somatostatin analogue which binds to the somatostatin receptor (type 2) present on the surface of the tumor cells and 2) Gallium 68, a radioisotope that, combined with OPS202, can be seen in the PET scanner.
