Filter by:This multi-center observational study will evaluate the use of Xeloda (capecitabine) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, colon cancer in the adjuvant setting, advanced gastric cancer and breast cancer in routine clinical practice. Eligible patients receiving treatment with Xeloda according to product label will be followed for up to 10 months.
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab administered in combination with paclitaxel in patients with previously untreated, locally recurrent, or metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to one of two treatment arms: bevacizumab or placebo. All patients will be given an intravenous (IV) infusion of of paclitaxel (90 mg/m2) for 3 weeks during each 28-day cycle. bevacizumab or placebo (10 mg/kg) will be administered by IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Patients will be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death from any cause occurs.
The study aims to analyse and decode interviews of patient with breast cancer, and then established according a multidimensional profile specific to the population and to create a questionnaire tha will allow a practical and qualitative evaluation of the quality of life.
This prospective observational study will evaluate the use in clinical practice, efficacy and safety of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with paclitaxel in first line in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Data will be collected from eligible patients for up to 2.5 years.
Background: - Breast cancer is becoming more common in Africa. A higher number of cases appear in women under age 35 than in the developed world. However, little is known about the factors that may contribute to breast cancer in Africa. Researchers want to collect information from female patients in teaching hospitals in Accra and Kumasi, Ghana and to compare this information with that obtained from healthy women in the general population. These two hospitals treat most breast cancers in Ghana. The data will provide information regarding factors that predispose to the development of breast cancer among women in Ghana. Objectives: - To identify and study breast cancer risk factors in women in Ghana. Eligibility: - Women between 18 and 74 years of age who are diagnosed with breast cancer. - Participants will come from teaching hospitals in Accra and Kumasi, Ghana. Women without breast cancer will be identified from the 2010 Ghanaian Census for comparison purposes Design: - Participants will answer questions about their health and lifestyle. - Height, weight, and waist/hip measurements will be collected. - Blood and saliva samples will be collected. - Participants will be given a collection kit to collect a stool sample. - Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) represent 25 to 30% of adult non-Hodgkin lymphomas in western countries. DLBCLs are aggressive cancer but potentially curable with multi-agent chemotherapy. Whereas R-CHOP regimen has led to a marked improvement in survival, this disease remains a biologically heterogeneous entity. New therapeutic strategies are required including identification of patients' subgroups with different prognostic. This project is based on BMS_LyTrans and Goelams 075 clinical trial. A study of whole blood transcriptome in 75 DLBCL patients and in 87 controls showed that PD-L1 (CD274) gene was overexpressed in DLBCL patients. Preliminary results demonstrated that PD-L1 is detected in plasma of DLBCL patients with a significantly higher concentration than in controls. This protein was selected as a potential biomarker because of its established role in anti-tumoral immunity. Interaction between PD-L1 and its receptor PD-1 is known to inhibit activation of immune responses by inducing T-lymphocytes anergy and/or apoptosis. Moreover, a direct involvement of PD-L1 in the protection of cancer cells from lysis by activated T lymphocytes has been demonstrated. PD-L1 expression has been described in several solid tumours, including ovary cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma and in hematological malignancies such as T-NHL, MM and Hodgkin's lymphoma. Furthermore the expression of PD-L1 by tumour cells is associated with poor prognosis. The blockade of PD-L1/PD-1 axis may represent a novel therapeutic approach in aggressive cancers. These first results incite to identify the cells releasing soluble PD-L1 and to investigate its role in the anti-tumoral immunity in DLBCL patients. The aim of this study is to identify cells producing soluble PD-L1 in DLBCL patients at diagnosis in comparison to others tumours known to express PD-L1 (metastatic breast cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer).
This is a multicenter, open-label, phase IV trial to assess the efficacy and safety of sequential neoadjuvant chemotherapy with 4 cycles of doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide followed by 4 cycles of docetaxel(Monotaxel®) in patients with breast cancer of ≥5cm in size or cytologically confirmed axillary lymph nodes metastasis.
Eligible patients will receive subcutaneous vaccinations of the hTERT/survivin/CMV multipeptide vaccine and GM-CSF over a 24 month period. All patients will receive basiliximab 20 mg 1 day prior to the start of vaccinations. Prevnar vaccine will be administered at the time of Vaccines 1,3, and 5. Patients who remain clinically stable after the fourth vaccine, may continue to receive vaccinations every 4 weeks for up to 2 years.
National, randomized, unblinded, phase IIb trial with 2 strata: First-line chemotherapy / Second-line chemotherapy for locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
The objective of this phase II study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of avastin plus modified FOLFOX6 regimen in HER-2 negative metastatic breast cancer patients. Fifty-five patients will be enrolled into this study.
