Filter by:HR+/HER2-negative BC represent ∼70% of all newly diagnosed breast tumours and are responsible for most recurrences and deaths due to this disease, and despite available standard therapies, ∼15-20% of hormone tumours recur at distant sites. As BC is a clinically and biologically heterogeneous disease, intrincsic subtype may play an important role in classifying patients. In this case, HER2-E subtype is present in approximately 6.6-11.0% of HR+/HER2-negative tumors and might express either HER2, estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PR), we also know that HER2-E is present twice as much in metastatic tumors compared to primary tumors and that HER2-E patients may benefit in terms of PFS form an anti-HER2 drug as was showed using retrospective sample in EGF30008 trial. Therefore, incorporation of novel drugs in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) can improve patient outcomes in HR+/HER2-negative BC advanced disease specially in those with HER2-E subtype. Methods NEREA is an open-label, single arm, multicenter phase II study evaluating treatment with neratinib in combination with ET in pre and post-menopausal women and men with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-enriched (HER2-E), HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer who had recurrence or progression while receiving previous ET (either aromatase inhibitors, tamoxifen or fulvestrant) in the adjuvant setting or to treat advanced disease or both. The study will follow a Simon's 2-stage design with one interim and one final efficacy analysis. The primary objective will is assess the efficacy of neratinib in combination with ET is this group of patients, efficacy will be measured as Progression-Free Survival at 6 months (PFS6) defined as the proportion of patients alive and without progression, locally assessed by the investigator through the use of RECIST v.1.1 at 24 weeks after first treatment administration, imaging evaluation will be performed every 8 weeks for the first 12 months following treatment start, and every 12 weeks thereafter. Secondary endpoints include Clinical Benefit Rate at 6 months , Overall Response rate, Duration of response, Time to response and Incidence, duration and severity of Adverse Events. The interim analysis will be conducted when 33 patients are evaluable for the primary endpoint having the potential for at least 3 'on treatment' disease assessment scans. If less than 15 patients achieved a PFS6, the trial will be terminated for futility in favor of the null hypothesis. If more than 28 patients achieved a PFS6, the trial will be stopped in favor of the alternative hypothesis demonstrating activity. If none of the two above-mentioned conditions are attain, up to a further 23 patients may be evaluated, for at least a total of 56 evaluable patients. Therefore, if a total of 28 or more patients achieved a PFS6 at the end of the second stage, then the null will be rejected in favor of the alternative. Eligible patients will receive neratinib 240 mg every day in combination with ET, with either exemestane, fulvestrant or tamoxifen: exemestane 25 mg every day orally, tamoxifen 20mg every day orally or fulvestrant 500 mg administered in two intramuscular injections of 250 mg each at C1D15 and at D1 of each subsequent 28-day cycle at investigator discretion. LHRH agonist will be used in men and premenopausal women if no oophorectomy has been performed previously. All patients will take prophylactic loperamide with a stablished doses scheme during the firs cycle and on demand in subsequent cycles
This study will compare the effects on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) of aerobic exercise in different amounts (number of minutes/session) over different periods of time (number of weeks). Aerobic exercise is physical activity of light-to-moderate intensity that uses the large muscle groups (muscles in your legs, buttocks, back, and chest) and can be performed for at least 10 minutes. The researchers will study the effects of different exercise programs on how well the study participants' bodies use oxygen, how well their heart pumps blood, how well their lungs function, and how healthy their blood vessels are.
As much as 50% of patients treated with hormonotherapy (HT) for breast cancer (BC) suffer from osteoarticular pain during treatment. Secondary effects have become a real issue because of their consequences on the patients' quality of life, but also on treatment efficacy and survival when they induce dose reduction or premature withdrawal of treatment. Additional medicines (acupuncture, hypnosis, yoga) have become more and more popular these last years. 48 to 80% of patients with BC eventually choose them. A review comparing efficacy of various therapies to decrease osteoarticular pain concludes to a highest efficacy of anti-inflammatory treatments, paracetamol and yoga. It thus appears innovative to complete this care with a patient educational project (PEP) in postural yoga instructed by a trained physical therapist, which will enable patients to practice yoga postures at home by themselves. The investigators conducted a pilot study "SKYPE" with 24 algic patients treated with HT after BC, whose results are very promising. The investigators now propose in the continuity of the pilot study a multicenter randomized controlled study comparing the efficacy of SKYPE care on pain reduction, an educative care combining physical therapy and yoga, to a control group in patients treated with HT for a BC with osteoarticular and/or musculoskeletal pain. Furthermore, in order to examine whether yoga interventions may influence inflammation through their effects on the level of a wide range of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines (30), the investigators will Change in circulating cytokines' level between baseline level (T0) and post-treatment level (T2) in both groups will be analyzed and if so correlation will be established.
This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, non-controlled observational study.
This phase III trial studies how well trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) and tucatinib work in preventing breast cancer from coming back (relapsing) in patients with high risk, HER2 positive breast cancer. T-DM1 is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called DM1. Trastuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors, and delivers DM1 to kill them. Tucatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving T-DM1 and tucatinib may work better in preventing breast cancer from relapsing in patients with HER2 positive breast cancer compared to T-DM1 alone.
Current guidelines lack definitive evidences about the relative benefits of locoregional surgery for the primary tumor in de novo stage IV breast cancer. The aim of this study (SYSBTC-001) was to investigate the role of locoregional surgery for primary tumor in de novo stage IV breast cancer.
This phase I trial collects blood samples to investigate the prevalence of changes in genes (genetic mutations) in solid tumor patient populations seeking care at Mayo Clinic Embedded Cancer Center at St. Vincent's Riverside. This may help doctors better understand and/or treat others who have genetic mutations.
The primary objective is to determine the feasibility of combining pembrolizumab with a single fraction radiation boost in patients with early/ operable breast cancer. The secondary objectives are to assess clinical response on pre- and post-treatment clinical, imaging, and histology exams, and to assess immune response on pre and post treatment blood and tissue samples by tracking change in Ki67 + CD8 T cells in peripheral blood and in extent of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. A clinically significant partial response is defined as >30% tumor shrinkage post-clinical trial intervention.
The goal of this study is to learn more about the effectiveness of the study drug, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy, in Chinese participants with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) who received at least 2 systemic chemotherapy regimens.
This trial studies the benefits of an exercise and diet counseling program in improving quality of life in stage I-III breast cancer survivors. Exercise and diet counseling may help improve weight loss and relevant clinical and patient-reported outcomes in overweight or obese breast cancer survivors.
