Filter by:This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of a breast cancer vaccine (SV-BR-1-GM) and how well it works in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of breast cancer that is persistent, has come back (recurrent), or has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Breast cancer vaccine SV-BR-1-GM is a human breast cancer cell line that has been genetically engineered to produce a substance called "GM-CSF" (granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor) which occurs naturally in the body. GM-CSF is normally produced by white blood cells and helps the body develop immunity to disease-causing germs. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies such as pembrolizumab may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Anti-cancer drugs such as cyclophosphamide may help boost the immune response. Interferon alpha 2b may help stimulate the immune system to fight cancer. This trial may help doctors see whether SV-BR-1-GM injections help boost the immune system and/or help control or help shrink breast cancer along with the other drugs that also boost the immune system.
This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety for dose-dense epirubicin hydrochloride with cyclophosphamide followed by nanoparticlealbumin-bound paclitaxel with PD-1 in neoadjuvant therapy for patients with triple-negative breast cancer, and to explore the predictive value of biological markers for the treatment.
Introduction: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) has been the standard therapy for treating patients with locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Doxorubicin-based regimen showed a clinical response for 70-80%. However, the cardiotoxicity from it was not tolerable. Simvastatin acts synergistically with doxorubicin against MCF-7 cells, through downregulation of the cell cycle or induction of apoptosis. Also, it alleviates doxorubicin cardiotoxicity by attenuating ER stress and activating the Akt pathway. Hmgcris a new pathway mediating doxorubicin-induced cell death, and cholesterol control drugs combined with doxorubicin could enhance efficacy and reduce side effects. This study is conducted to see the combination simvastatin and CAF would increase the NACT response and surgical margin of LABC patients. Methods: This study was a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial, conducted in dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital and Koja General Hospital. A total of 70 LABC patients were assessed for eligibility. Patients received either a combination of CAF-Simvastatin (40 mg/day) or CAF-Placebo. The biopsy was taken pre-NACT to make the histopathological diagnosis and examine the expression of HMG-CoA Reductase (Hmgcr) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Patients were evaluated for the clinical response after 3 cycles. If the response was positive, patients will proceed to surgery. Then, the post-operative specimen will be reviewed for the pathological response. However, if it was a negative response, patients will be given 2nd line NACT.
This research aims at investigating tumor blood flow response to acute exercise in human cancer patients. It is hypothesized and expected that acute exercise increases tumor blood flow, which could plausibly increase the efficacy of cancer treatment.
Due to screening, T1N0 early-stage breast cancer now accounts for more than 50% of the tumors diagnosed in France. The prognosis of these tumors is good, even excellent in women ≥ 65 years of age, with specific survival of 98% at 5 years. The treatment of these tumors combines breast-conserving surgery and external whole breast irradiation for 6.5 weeks. A true de-escalation of treatment is taking place with these tumors, both surgically and medically. Surgery therefore now prefers breast-conserving methods in combination with exeresis of the sentinel lymph node only. In the same way, in many international studies, radiotherapy has been evaluating the possibility of reducing both: - the irradiation volume at the excision site (partial irradiation) - the duration of this irradiation (accelerated radiotherapy) Between 2004 and 2007, the CRLC [Regional Anti-Cancer Center] evaluated the feasibility and the oncological results of intra-operative partial irradiation via a phase II study in women 65 years of age and older with T1N0M0 hormone-sensitive tumors with a good prognosis. From 2010 to 2013, the ICM carried out an observational study of these tumors with an excellent prognosis. In July 2009, the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) published a consensus statement with specific recommendations and indications for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI). This APBI technique has been developing in France over the past 5 years within the framework of clinical studies and in compliance with the 2012 recommendations of the French National Cancer Institute. This APBI can be given by 3D external radiotherapy or, as in this study, by intra-operative radiotherapy (IORT) in order to obtain optimal precision and spare as much of the surrounding healthy tissue as possible. The Investigator therefore propose a cohort study to prospectively analyze the results of this technique applied to the indications strictly defined by the ASTRO.
This study evaluates the potential of a unique artificial intelligence-virtual reality intervention called Bubble, to reduce the number and intensity of hot flashes and their accompanying psychological symptoms in women, aged 28-55, with breast cancer. A sample of 37 women with breast cancer were selected to the study. Participants were asked to answer a survey before and after using Bubble. The treatment period was 24 days. The findings are positive and show that the use of Bubble help to reduce several psychological symptoms connected to hot flashes.
This is a randomized clinical trial (OMIT study) evaluating the efficacy of metastasectomy in patients with oligo-metastatic breast cancer.
We aim to investigate the value of 3'-deoxy-3'-18F-fluorothymidine (18F-FLT) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for early prediction of treatment response and survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer after salvage therapy.
Interventional, randomised, prospective, monocentric study
This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II clinical trial to evaluate to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first line atezolizumab in combination with paclitaxel and bevacizumab (Avastin®) in patients with advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC)
