Filter by:Aromatase inhibitors are commonly prescribed for treatment of postmenopausal women with breast cancer. These medications can cause side effects in some women, and occasionally they can be quite bothersome. We are doing a study to better understand the side effects of aromatase inhibitors so that we can hopefully treat them better or possibly prevent them. In particular, we are interested in pain and difficulty sleeping. This study is designed to assess the effect of aromatase inhibitors on pain, sleep quality, and fatigue and the interplay of these side effects and their subsequent impact on daily activity. Each participant will fill out a series of questionnaires about pain, sleep quality, and fatigue and will also complete a sleep diary and wear an actigraphy watch for 10 days before starting an aromatase inhibitor and after taking it for 3 months. We hope to learn more about these symptoms so we can better manage medication toxicity in the future.
Many breast cancer survivors report chronic pain that develops or worsens following chemotherapy. The impact of chemotherapy on the development of chronic pain is uncertain. In this proposal, we are studying the impact of chemotherapy on a patient's sensitivity to pain. We are also investigating whether a patient's sensitivity to pain is related to how many symptoms she experiences during treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended dose (RD) and to assess the safety and tolerability of tucatinib (ONT-380) combined with ado-trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with HER2+ breast cancer.
This research trial studies heavy metal exposure in predicting peripheral neuropathy in patients with stage I-III breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Studying samples of blood and urine in the laboratory for heavy metal exposure from patients receiving chemotherapy may help doctors find out whether side effects from chemotherapy are related to heavy metal exposure.
This is a phase II study randomizing patients with stage I with T1 > 1.5 cm, stage II or III triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) to preoperative cisplatin versus paclitaxel. The study is designed to evaluate the ability of the Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) assay to predict pathologic response to preoperative chemotherapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of combining metformin and atorvastatin treatment in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer during the interval between breast biopsy and surgery. This study is designed to assess whether tumor proliferation, as measured by the natural log expression of Ki-67 staining of breast tumor cells, is reduced following approximately 2 weeks of treatment with the combination of metformin plus atorvastatin in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer.
Investigators propose to assess,the safety and tolerability profile (number of participants with adverse events)of bevacizumab (Avastin) when combined with standard chemotherapy as first line treatment of patients with metastatic Breast Cancer.
In order to evaluate the late outcome in patients curatively treated for breast cancer, a special outpatient clinic will be developed. There are two main purposes of the outpatient clinic. The first purpose is evaluating the results of the radiation treatment by mapping A) late toxicity and B) tumour control and survival. The second purpose is that this outpatient clinic for late outcome will also function as a pilot for a new CAT (Computer Assisted Theragnostics, abbreviated CAT project) in which multiple late outcome variables will be recorded. In this pilot we want to investigate whether physical presence of the patient on the outpatient clinic, allowing physical examination, has any added value to the questionnaires filled in by the patient at home. The ultimate aim of this new CAT project is to use these multicentric data to develop models for predicting both oncological outcome and late side effects. Insight in the beneficial and adverse effects of a certain treatment using these predictive models, will be required choose the optimal treatment for the individual patient using a shared decision making process.
The investigators will determine which factors are predictive for the development and severity of everolimus-induced interstitial lung disease and will develop a prediction model based on these risk factors.
Standard of care: Treatment with Trastuzumab Experimental: 21-Day Cycle of Combination therapy with T-DM1 intravenously on Day 1 and oral PD-0332991 on Days 5-18 Study Design and Methodology: This is a phase 1B inter-patient dose escalation study of PD-0332991 in combination with T-DM1 in patients with recurrent or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer after prior trastuzumab or other HER2-directed therapies. The subjects will be administered T-DM1 by intravenous infusion at 3.6 mg/kg for 90 minutes on day 1 of each 21 day cycle. Infusion timing may vary from 30-90 minutes depending on how well the subject tolerates the treatment. A standard 3+3 trial design will be used for PD-0332991 dose escalation cohorts.The dosing of PD-0332991 will be divided into 3 cohorts, the subjects will receive PD-0332991 on days 5-18 of each 21 day cycle. Cohort 1 : PD-0332991 - 100 mg daily (oral) Cohort 2 : PD-0332991 - 150 mg daily (oral) Cohort 3 : PD-0332991 - 200 mg daily (oral) The 3+3 design entails that if one patient out of the first three patients has a DLT, up to three additional patients will be entered at that dose level Treatment cycles will continue until disease progression or withdrawal from study.
