A central challenge in the fight against breast cancer is how to detect disease in a noninvasive manner before it is detectable by imaging methods. Although inroads have been made with more sensitive imaging techniques for earlier detection of breast cancer, these techniques are limited by the size of lesion that could be detected. Alternatively, several blood proteomic biomarkers have been proposed but none offer as of yet sufficient predictive power. Consequently, effective non-invasive tools as prognostic indicators and biomarkers of breast cancer are urgently needed. The purpose of this study is to develop and test non-invasive biomarkers based on methylation changes in PBMC and circulated tumor DNA in breast cancer patients.
The primary objective of this study is to describe the rate of local control in patients with her-2 positive early stage breast cancer with a complete response to chemotherapy and lumpectomy alone.
The trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel web-based intervention (Optimune), which was designed to introduce relevant cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to women with breast cancer who are past the active eradication phase and free from disease recurrence. The present study will test the hypothesis that Optimune has an impact on immune status, markers of inflammation and psychometric outcomes. Therefore, 150 woman with breast cancer will be recruited and randomized to two groups: (1) a control group, in which they may engage with any treatment (Care-as-Usual, CAU) and receive access to Optimune after a delay of 6 months (i.e., CAU/wait list control group), or (2) to a treatment group that immediately receives 12-month access to Optimune and may also use CAU. The primary outcome measure is the effect on inflammatory parameters six month post-baseline.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of anti PD-L1 antibody + anti CTLA-4 antibody in combination with hormone therapy in patients with hormone receptor positive HER2-negative recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
This is a Phase 1b, open-label, multicenter study to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Administered Dose (MAD) of poziotinib when administered with standard dosing of T-DM1 (3.6 mg/kg IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle) in women with advanced or metastatic HER2+ breast cancer. The poziotinib dose identified in Part 1 of the study will be used in combination with standard dose of T-DM1 in Part 2 of the study to confirm the poziotinib dose and evaluate the preliminary efficacy of the combination therapy.
SAFIR PI3K is an open-label multicenter phase II randomized trial, comparing alpelisib plus fulvestrant to maintenance chemotherapy in patient PIK3CA mutated with HR+/Her2- metastatic breast cancer who do not present progressive disease after 6-8 cycles of 1st or second line chemotherapy. The primary objective is to determine whether treatment with alpelisib plus fulvestrant prolongs progression-free survival (PFS) compared to maintenance chemotherapy in patients PIK3CA mutated with hormone receptor positive (HR+), HER2-negative advanced breast cancer, who do not present a progressive disease after 6-8 cycles of chemotherapy.
This is an international, multi-centre, non-controlled, open-label, single arm, two-stage Simon Design phase II study for non-BRCA metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients with homologous recombination deficiency treated with Olaparib single agent. The main objective is to assess the efficacy of olaparib single agent as determined by Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). In the first stage Triple negative (TN) non-BRCA, metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients whose tumours exhibited any characteristic related to homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). In the second stage, luminal patients (RH positive HER2 negative) will be allowed in the same conditions that TN. Patients whose tumours are identified as Homologous Recombination Deficient by deleterious HRR gene mutations (according to Foundation Medicine's Foundation One assay) will receive olaparib 300 mg (two tablets of 150mg) orally twice daily (bid) on days 1-28 each 28 days. Study commitment is 39 patients: 17 patients will be enrolled at first stage and 22 at the second stage. The total duration of the study period is 34 months.
This study is investigational and is not designed to treat cancer. In other words, the study drug, entinostat, is not being given to treat cancer. Instead, the study team is looking at the effects of entinostat on tumor tissue for research purposes only. Approximately 246,660 cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in the United States in 2016. Its detection and treatment remains a major concern in women's healthcare. In particular, TNBC accounts for approximately 15-20% of all breast cancers. Research into treatment for breast cancer relies more and more on understanding how the cancer cells act when they are exposed to an anti-cancer drug. How most cancer cells act when exposed to anti-cancer drugs and which patients as a result may benefit the most from these drugs is not well known. Additional studies are required to determine the cells' reactions. The purpose of part 1 of this study is to better understand how TNBC tumors react to one particular cancer drug, entinostat. Entinostat is currently being studied across multiple clinical trials for the treatment of breast cancer, other solid tumors and blood cancers. Entinostat is investigational and has not yet been FDA approved for the treatment of cancer. Studies have shown that a good way to determine how cancer acts when exposed to anti-cancer drugs is a short-term preoperative window study. In this type of study, subjects receive a study drug a couple of days before surgery. Leftover tissue from surgery is then used to determine some of the effects that a study drug may have on the tumor. In this study, subjects will receive two doses of entinostat prior to undergoing planned surgery. Leftover tissue from this surgery will then be used to determine the effects entinostat has on tumor cells. For example, the study team will examine if the types of genes and proteins that the tumor expresses as a result of entinostat exposure increases or decreases the likelihood that the tumor will not continue to grow. A gene is a unit of DNA. Genes make up the chemical structure carrying your genetic information that may determine human characteristics (i.e., eye color, height and sex). This study will focus on discovering how entinostat affects a wide variety of genes in tumor cells.
TNBC, defined by the lack of immunohistochemical staining for oestrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and lack of overexpression or amplification of HER2/neu, has an aggressive biological behaviour, marked by increased risk of recurrence and poorer survival compared with hormone receptor-positive subtypes. The key points for the rationale of the present study are: 1. Despite different efforts for improving the outcome of TNBC patients, the median distant-disease free interval for relapsed triple-negative breast cancer is about 1-2 years, and the median survival for metastatic TNBC is approximately one year. 2. International guidelines currently recommend polychemotherapy instead of sequential single agents as first-line treatment in this subgroup of patients, but no data is available at the moment regarding the optimal duration of chemotherapy. 3. There is growing evidence to suggest that platinum-based therapy may have a role in both advanced and early-stage TNBC, though results are not definitive. Three randomized phase II neoadjuvant trials have been reported, two of which demonstrated an improvement in pathological complete response (pCR) rates when carboplatin is added to anthracycline and taxane-based chemotherapy, though this pCR improvement came at the cost of an increase in toxicity. Definitive results from phase III trials demonstrating improvement in long-term outcomes such as event-free and overall survival are not yet available, and it remains unclear how to optimally incorporate platinums into neoadjuvant therapy, as toxicity is enhanced when platinum is incorporated as an add-on to standard combination chemotherapy backbones. A randomized phase III trial comparing cisplatin plus gemcitabine to paclitaxel plus gemcitabine has been published recently. After a median follow-up of 16.3 months in the cisplatin plus gemcitabine group and 15.9 months in the paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group, the hazard ratio for progression-free survival was 0.692 (95% CI 0•523-0•915; pnon-inferiority<0•0001, superiority=0•009. Thus cisplatin plus gemcitabine was both non-inferior to and superior to paclitaxel plus gemcitabine. Median progression-free survival was 7.7 months (95% CI 6.2-9.3) in the cisplatin plus gemcitabine group and 6.5 months (5.8-7.2) in the paclitaxel plus gemcitabine group. 4. In both early and advanced disease settings, response rates appear to be influenced by germ line BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation status, and BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation status has emerged as an important potential biomarker for platinum therapy. Outside of the BRCA mutant setting, there is certainly good reason to believe that there are patients with sporadic TNBC who stand to benefit greatly from a platinum-based approach. Tumour-based assays that detect levels of genomic scarring caused by the accumulation of DNA damage over time secondary to underlying DNA repair defects, such as the Myriad HRD assay, have potential to identify non carriers of BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations with "BRCA-like" breast cancer, who may respond to DNA repair- targeted treatment strategies, such as platinum agents. One of the most promising way to improve clinical outcome in poor-risk patients is represented by maintenance therapy with a non-cross resistant regimen after an induction treatment, until disease progression. Nevertheless, the main limit to such a strategy is the choice of chemotherapy agents, considering that patients could be treated for a long period of time The results of the VICTOR-1 study was recently published, the aim of this study was the determination of the maximum tolerated dose of oral metronomic schedule of vinorelbine (VNR) in combination with fixed doses of capecitabine (CAPE), as well as to confirm the safety profile of the combination in a cohort of HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients. The results demonstrated a lower incidence of hematological grade 3-4 adverse events (1.1%), in comparison to what published in other series, using the standard schedules of the two drugs. The present study is designed to select the best arm between oral metronomic schedule of vinorelbine (VNR) and combination of oral metronomic schedule VNR with fixed doses of capecitabine (CAPE) as maintenance therapy in advanced TNBC patients responders after an induction treatment.
