Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) accounts for about 20% of clinical breast cancer. Clinical characteristics include early onset, high malignancy and heterogeneity. There is no effective drug target for TNBC, resulting in poor outcomes, high relapse rate and distant metastasis. So, further research on TNBC pathological features is particularly important. Compared with the solvent-based paclitaxel, albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-P) demonstrates a stronger therapeutic effect. With albumin nanoparticles as a carrier, nab-P increases the concentration of extra-tumor drugs by passing through the albumin receptor (Gp60) transmembrane pathway and the secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine (SPARC) approach that binds to the extracellular matrix of the tumor. Numerous clinical trials have found that nab-P is superior to the solvent-based paclitaxel in the treatment of breast cancer, especially in breast cancer with poor prognosis. However, the current efficacy of nab-P in the treatment of TNBC has not been fully verified. The mechanism underlying the killing effect of nab-P on TNBC breast cancer cells remains unclear yet. This trial will compare the therapeutic effect of nab-P with solvent-based paclitaxel in TNBC patients, and seek for important scientific clues, scientific evidence, and clinical data for nab-P in the treatment of TNBC.
With the development of neoadjuvant therapy for tumors, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has become one of the most common and effective methods for preoperative systemic treatment of locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). Although epirubicin combined with cyclophosphamide and sequential docetaxel has been widely recognized as the first-line NAC for LABC, there are still some inoperable LABCs that are insensitive to chemotherapy and miss the opportunity of surgery, especially those with luminal A and low expression of Ki67. Therefore, neoadjuvant endocrine therapy has important clinical value for such patients. At present, the combination of aromatase inhibitor drugs and cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 can significantly improve the prognosis and survival of LABC compared with aromatase inhibitor monotherapy. However, whether inoperable LABC patients, especially those who are not susceptible to chemotherapy, can choose the combination of aromatase inhibitor drugs and cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 as neoadjuvant endocrine therapy to replace NAC remains unclear. Because the main principle of endocrine therapy is to induce tumor cell cycle arrest, leading to apoptosis of tumor cells, the effect is slower than that of chemotherapy. In addition, whether endocrine therapy can replace chemotherapy as a new adjuvant treatment for patients with inoperable LABC to improve the operability rate has not yet been fully evidenced. Therefore, this trial aims to conduct the prospective randomized controlled phase IV clinical trial of palbociclib combined with letrozole versus epirubicin combined with cyclophosphamide and sequential docetaxel as NAC to prove the efficacy of palbociclib combined with letrozole in postmenopausal estrogen receptor-positive LABC patients with low Ki67 expression.
Luminal A breast cancer is a kind of breast cancer with low rate lymph node metastasis and good survival. But in clinical practice, Luminal A breast cancer can present with early, unexpected lymph node metastasis some time, indicates poor survival. Silent information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1) plays a different role in breast cancer with different molecular typing. Previous study supports a role of SIRT1 protein as tumor suppressor in Luminal A breast cancer, in association with apoptosis-related proteins. The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition(EMT) process results in loss of cell-cell adhesion, increased cell mobility, and is crucial for enabling the metastasis of cancer cells. But no similar study in Luminal A breast cancer. Hence, this study will 1) investigate the expression pattern of SIRT1 in primary tumor and lymph node metastasis; 2) investigate the different expression pattern of SIRT1 in T2/T3 , lymph node negative tumor and T1, lymph node positive tumor; 3) investigate potential role of SIRT1 enzyme in regulating cell migration and invasion in Luminal A breast cancer cells.
To investigate the efficacy of albumin-bound paclitaxel combined with carboplatin versus epirubicin combined with docetaxel as neoadjuvant therapy for triple-negative breast cancer.
This is a Phase I study to test the safety of a combination of ASTX727 with talazoparib in patients with triple negative breast cancer or hormone resistant/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer
This work explores the possibility of using ultrasound imaging and spectroscopy as a way of monitoring cell death, hence, tumour response to treatment. The hypothesis here is that it can be used as a way of monitoring early response to cancer treatment and predicting which patients continue on in their therapy to have a complete pathological response as a primary endpoint and tumour size decrease as a secondary endpoint. If this work is successful it could be used in the future early on in a cancer patient's treatment to predict whether or not a course of chemotherapy or radiotherapy is going to be successful. For example, in patients in which the analysis indicates a poor response the chemotherapy regimen could be changed to a more efficacious one or for those receiving radiotherapy predicted to have a poor response a radiosensitizing agent could be used to improve outcome.
Rationale and relevance for patients and the scientific community. In low risk early stage patients ≥70 years, exclusive radiation therapy (RT) approach might be superior in terms of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), when compared to exclusive endocrine therapy (ET) following breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Assuming an equal rate of disease control, unnecessary long-term toxicity of ET may be avoided.
The present study will assess real-world clinical outcomes and adverse events from treatment with endocrine therapy combined with CDKi in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced breast cancer.
Patient derived xenografts (PDX) from mammary tumors are usually made from metastatic tumors. Indeed, PDX from primitive mammary tumors or after neoadjuvant treatment are still rare. However, the realization of such PDX (from primitive mammary tumors or after neoadjuvant treatment) would make it possible to have a better knowledge of the tumor heterogeneity to the therapeutic response, to explore the models of tumor evolution during metastatic progression and also observe the mechanisms of tumor resistance in the case of non-metastatic tumors. It therefore seems necessary to develop PDX from primitive tumors in order to observe firstly the success rate of PDX; on the other hand, the drift of the initial heterogeneity, measured by comparison of the histomolecular profile of the tumors with that of the PDXs. It aims to develop xenografts from tumor samples from surgical specimens of patients with triple negative or luminal B breast cancer.
