Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to assess the extent to which the Prosigna™ Breast Cancer Prognostic Gene Signature Assay affects the medical oncologist's treatment recommendations regarding adjuvant chemotherapy and actual treatments received for patients with early-stage breast cancer.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies body warming in improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to tumors in patients with cancer. Heating tumor cells to several degrees above normal body temperature may kill tumor cells.
Early stage hormone receptor positive breast cancer is typically treated with adjuvant endocrine therapy in order to decrease risk of breast cancer recurrence and to improve overall survival from the disease. Typical agents used for treatment include tamoxifen and the aromatase inhibitors. In postmenopausal women, aromatase inhibitor therapy is increasingly common because it is associated with fewer long-term serious toxicities compared to tamoxifen. However, aromatase inhibitors cause arthralgias in 40-50% of patients, which can influence adherence to therapy and can lead to treatment discontinuation in a minority of cases. The mechanism underlying development of this toxicity remains unclear, and predictors of who will develop these symptoms remain undefined. Initial reports suggest that grip strength decreases during aromatase inhibitor therapy, and that body-mass index may influence development of this symptom. Therefore, this longitudinal study has been developed to determine change in grip strength over time in women treated with aromatase inhibitors and tamoxifen, as well as to identify potential associations between change in grip strength and BMI. Patient self-reported symptoms will also be collected. A total of 115 women with early stage breast cancer who are initiating therapy with either an aromatase inhibitor or tamoxifen will be enrolled.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of VM206RY in subjects with expression of HER2 in breast cancer.
AIM To determine the value of trastuzumab in the early breast cancer setting in the Netherlands. RESEARCH QUESTIONS / OBJECTIVES 1. Is adjuvant trastuzumab in daily practice effectively used, that is, how and to whom is it given? 2. Is the introduction of trastuzumab in early breast cancer cost-effective for the Netherlands? To address the research questions (objectives), the following outcome measures will be determined: CLINICAL OUTCOME MEASURES 1. Actual trastuzumab administration as opposed to planned trastuzumab administration 2. Selection criteria for chemotherapy and trastuzumab in daily practice 3. Immediate and longterm toxicities due to adjuvant treatment, specifically cardiac 4. Disease-free, breast cancer specific, and overall survival in relation to trastuzumab ECONOMIC OUTCOME MEASURES 5. Volumes and costs of diagnostic tests and therapies including those for (distant) relapse 6. Cost-effectiveness of trastuzumab in clinical trials versus in real world
This research study is a pilot study, which tests the ability of an investigational compound to be used in humans for further studies. "Investigational" means that 89Zr-bevacizumab for PET/CT imaging is being studied. It also means that the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved 89Zr-bevacizumab for PET/CT imaging for use in patients, including people with your type of cancer. 89Zr-bevacizumab is a newly developed radiotracer. Radiotracers are compounds or drugs that are attached to small amounts of a radioactive substance. The amount of the compound or drug in a radiotracer is also very small. Radiotracers are used to make images of processes that are happening in the body, but they do not affect how the body works. 89Zr-bevacizumab is made up of the drug bevacizumab and the radioactive substance zirconium-89 (89Zr). 89Zr-bevacizumab is used for an imaging procedure called positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). This radiotracer has been used in other research studies. Information from those other research studies suggests that 89Zr-bevacizumab-PET/CT imaging may be able to measure new blood vessel formation to determine where the cancer is in your body and if your cancer is being killed by chemotherapy.
This clinical trial studies positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) or PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in measuring tumors in patients undergoing clinical imaging or with newly diagnosed breast cancer. New diagnostic procedures, such as PET/CT or PET/MRI, may be more effective than MRI alone in measuring tumors in patients undergoing clinical imaging or with newly diagnosed breast cancer.
Patients with pretreated, Her2-negative, advanced breast cancer will receive chemotherapy with capecitabine and bendamustine for a maximum of eight cycles and afterwards capecitabine alone until disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects. Safety assessments will be conducted in 3-weekly intervals, efficacy assessments (CT or MRI) will be conducted every 9 weeks. Aim of this study is to determine whether treatment with capecitabine in combination with bendamustine is efficacious and safe.
The purpose of this study is to determine if enzalutamide is safe and effective in the treatment of patients with advanced breast cancer that express the androgen receptor but do not express the estrogen or progesterone receptor and are not Her2 amplified.
The purpose of this study is the evaluation of effect of circadian gene on sleep and other symptoms in breast cancer patients under chemotherapy.
