Filter by:This is a prospective study that will assess the impact of MammaPrint on chemotherapy + endocrine versus endocrine alone treatment decisions in patients with an Oncotype Intermediate Score.
To assess whether adding LCL161 to weekly paclitaxel enhances the efficacy of paclitaxel in women with triple negative breast cancer whose tumors are positive for a defined pattern of gene expression
This multi-center, prospective observational study will evaluate the treatment patterns, and the safety in patients with HER2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Eligible patients will have an initial metastatic breast cancer diagnosis that has not been previously treated with systemic therapy; patients may be enrolled up to 6 months after the diagnosis. Data will be collected for up to 8 years.
The aim was to assess the patient compliance and medical and psychosocial effects of same day hospital discharge after breast conserving surgery and sentinel node biopsy only.
This is a biomedical and prospective study of interventional type. The trial will include 29 patients over a period of 15 months + 24 months of follow up maximum. The study will be conduct in womens with metastatic invasive breast cancer or locally advanced breast cancer and for which treatment with tamoxifen or anti aromatase (first line hormone therapy for metastatic breast cancer) is indicated. The main objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility to detect in the circulating blood of patients, before treatment (T0), the presence of the fifteen tissular microRNAs described in preclinical studies as possibly involved in hormone resistance/sensitivity. In parallel of the detection of these specific miRNAs, we will conduct a larger scale analysis of circulating miRNAs in these patients before (T = 0) and after one month of treatment (T28).
The University of Michigan (UM) Schools of Nursing, Public Health, and Medicine, the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH) and the Michigan Cancer Consortium (MCC) are conducting a multidisciplinary academic/practice three-year project to increase appropriate breast cancer screening for young breast cancer survivors and their cancer-free, female relatives at greatest risk for breast cancer. The aims of this project are to: 1) identify and survey 3000 breast cancer survivors reported to the Michigan Cancer Surveillance Program who were diagnosed between the ages of 20-45 years regarding their breast cancer screening utilization; 2) identify and survey the survivors' female relatives regarding their breast cancer screening utilization; and 3) implement two versions (targeted vs. enhanced tailored) of an evidence-based intervention recommended by the Guide to Community Preventive Services to increase breast cancer screening. A follow-up survey will assess the effectiveness of each intervention on a) breast cancer screening utilization; b) perceived barriers and facilitators to screening; c) self-efficacy in utilizing screening services; d) family support related to screening; e) knowledge of the genetics of breast cancer and personal risk factors; and f) satisfaction with the intervention.
Among women with a BRCA1 mutation and breast cancer, choice of chemotherapy is a critical issue. There are emerging data which suggest that mutation carriers may respond differently than non-carriers to particular agents. BRCA1-associated cancers differ from non-hereditary cancers for a range of pathologic and molecular factors, including tumor grade and histologic appearance. Several studies have shown that the response to treatment for women with a BRCA1-associated breast cancer reflects the underlying tumor biology, in particular, the impairment of the DNA damage response and repair pathways, and that it is possible to exploit the sensitivity of BRCA1-associated cancers to DNA damage. It is equally important that the investigators evaluate the benefit of cisplatin in women with disseminated breast cancer, including those who have previously been treated with one or more chemotherapy regimens. This study is undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of cisplatin chemotherapy in BRCA1 carriers with metastatic breast cancer. The primary objective is to determine the objective response rate of cisplatin in BRCA1 carriers with metastatic breast cancer. The secondary objectives are to determine 3-year survival and to evaluate the toxicities of cisplatin in BRCA1 carriers with metastatic breast cancer.
Neutropenia is one of the most frequent adverse effects of chemotherapy, and the main factor to limit the dosage and the continuation of chemotherapy. A newly pegylated rhG-CSF was independently developed by JIANGSU HENGRUI Medicine Co., Ltd, China. Phase 1a, 1b and phase 2 trials have shown that pegylated rhG-CSF has decreased renal clearance, increased plasma half-life, and prolonged efficacy in compare with rhG-CSF. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of pegylated rhG-CSF in preventing neutropenia following chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.
This study was a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of treatment with buparlisib plus fulvestrant versus fulvestrant plus placebo in postmenopausal women with hormone Receptor-positive (HR-positive), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-negative), locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) whose disease has progressed on or after aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment.
This study will evaluate safety and tolerability to determine the MTD/RD.
