Filter by:A prospective single blind controlled randomized trial to evaluate the superiority of photobiomodulation (PBM) using LED-therapy in reducing the prevalence of radiodermatitis in breast cancer compared to usual local care.
Primary Objective: To determine whether amcenestrant per overall survival (os) improves progression free survival (PFS) when compared with an endocrine monotherapy of the choice of the physician, in participants with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer Secondary Objectives: - To compare the overall survival in the 2 treatment arms - To assess the objective response rate in the 2 treatment arms - To evaluate the disease control rate in the 2 treatment arms - To evaluate the clinical benefit rate in the 2 treatment arms - To evaluate the duration of response in the 2 treatment arms - To evaluate the PFS according to the estrogen receptor 1 gene (ESR1) mutation status in the 2 treatment arms - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of amcenestrant as single agent - To evaluate health-related quality of life in the 2 treatment arms - To compare the overall safety profile in the 2 treatment arms
Chemotherapy before operation for malignant tumors can reduce the size of tumors to a certain extent, even eliminate micrometastases. Chemotherapy can also detect the sensitivity of chemotherapeutic drugs and create opportunities for breast-conserving or surgical treatment for patients. This may lead to high survival opportunities for triple-negative breast cancer patients who are not sensitive to targeted therapy or endocrine therapy. However, during neoadjuvant therapy, CT or MRI tests are needed to monitor the patient's condition. Therefore, if there is any deterioration, to consider changing the treatment regimen or immediately carrying out surgery is necessary. However, because of the need for multiple imaging examinations during neoadjuvant therapy, which will increase medical costs, to explore a cheaper examination method is necessary . Circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood are derived from the shedding of breast cancer lesions. Detection of these circulating tumor cells may monitor the therapeutic effect on breast cancer, and the cost of detecting circulating tumor cells is much lower than that of conventional PET-CT, which can obviously reduce the medical costs of patients. However, there is no clinical study on the changes of circulating tumor cells and the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer in and outside China.
Some women are more likely to get breast cancer as it runs in their family, they are at risk of familial breast cancer. There are medications, called chemoprevention, which may lower their risk of developing breast cancer by a third. However chemoprevention can also cause serious side effects, like womb cancer and blood clots. This makes decision to start them difficult. Researchers found that not all women who can have these medications are on them. The investigators want to ask familial breast cancer specialists whether they recommend general practitioners (GP) to prescribe chemoprevention, by sending them a short survey. These specialists look after women where breast cancer runs in the family. The specialists assess a women's chance of getting breast cancer and advice those with increased risk what can be done to prevent breast cancer. The investigators will then look at whether specialist recommendation makes a difference to whether GPs prescribe chemoprevention medication. This will be done by linking the specialists' survey response to information on GP prescribing that the government regularly publishes. This may help the investigators understand why chemoprevention is not used as often as it potentially can be.
To compare efficacy and safety of adding thoracic paravertebral nerve blocks to modified PEC block versus modified PEC block only in breast cancer surgery. This study evaluate systemic opioid requirement in 48 hours in primary outcome and the analgesic profile ( pain score at rest and on shoulder movement), opioid-related side effects and nerve blocks complications.
The study investigates, whether the patient group with intermediate-risk early breast cancer benefits from treatment with ribociclib in combination with endocrine therapy compared to standard-of-care chemotherapy (followed by adjuvant endocrine therapy).
The purpose of this study is to measure the safety of the investigational imaging agent, 18F-Var3 and to determine if it is helpful in providing information about how tumor tissues behave.
Background: People with cancer, and especially older people, have a weakened immune system (the defense system of the body). This is often caused by the treatments for cancer. Older cancer survivors are therefore more prone to getting infections, some of which are preventable through vaccines. But because their immune systems are weakened, their response to vaccines is poor. Researchers want to see if a new drug, NT-I7, can help. Objective: To see if NT-I7 can boost the immune system. Eligibility: Adults 60 and older who have recently finished chemotherapy for breast, colorectal, or bladder cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and blood and urine samples. Their heart s electrical activity will be checked. They will have an ultrasound of their spleen. They may give a tissue sample from a previous biopsy. Participants in phase 1a of the study will get 1 dose of NT-I7. It will be given by injection with a needle into the muscle of the upper arm, thigh, or buttocks. Participants in phase 1b will get 5 vaccines over a few months. They may get an optional booster and/or 6th vaccine. They will also get NT-I7. Participants will repeat the screening tests during the study. They may get a peripheral intravenous catheter in a vein in their hand or arm for blood draws. Participants may have apheresis. For this, blood is taken from an arm vein. The white blood cells are separated from the blood. The rest of the blood, minus the white blood cells, is returned into a vein in the other arm. A catheter may be used. Participants will have follow-up visits for 1 year.
This phase II trial studies how well telehealth works in improving adherence to endocrine (anti-estrogen) therapy in participants with estrogen receptor and/or progesterone receptor positive (hormone receptor positive) stage 0-III breast cancer who have underwent surgery. Telehealth is an approach to care that uses digital information and communication tools to manage health and well-being. Participants interact with their health care providers via a video chat on a computer or smart phone. Telehealth may help identify the effects of treatment on participants with breast cancer who have underwent surgery.
This study evaluates the efficacy of the combination of olaparib, durvalumab, and fulvestrant for the treatment of patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer with BRCA gene alterations or alterations of genes involved in homologous recombination repair (HRR) or microsatellite instability (MSI) status.
