Filter by:The purpose of this pilot intervention study is to test the effectiveness of a self-management approach (combining education- and exercise-based strategies) for improving arthralgia (joint pain) associated with Aromatase Inhibitors (AI) in older breast cancer survivors. Survivors will be recruited from local cancer clinics prior to the completion of primary cancer treatment, as arthralgia can occur soon after initiating AI medication. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups: an enhanced standard care group (AI prescription plus information) or a treatment group (educational classes plus group exercise sessions). Older survivors (≥60 years) will be targeted because they are at increased risk of medication complications which may impede adherence. For the baseline assessment, a cancer-specific geriatric assessment will be conducted and a blood sample will be collected to interpret the effects of the self-management study in the context of geriatric experiences. Additionally, there will be an assessment of knowledge, PA habits, and AI-related joint pain and AI adherence. These will be measured again at 4, 6 and at follow up at 12 months.
Oocyte vitrification after in vitro maturation (IVM) is one of the main techniques for preserving female fertility before chemotherapy for breast cancer. In this technique, originally developed for patients with ovarian pathology, polycystic ovarian syndrome, induction of an LH peak has been shown to improve outcomes. Young women with breast cancer, who are candidates for urgent fertility preservation, do not have ovarian pathology. The objective of the present study is to assess whether the absence of therapeutic intervention prior to oocyte retrieval for IVM in these patients is at least as effective as the injection of hCG or GnRH agonist used in routine practice.
To assess the safety and tolerability characteristics of B003 in HER2-positive patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. The dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is assessed and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is explored.
This phase I/II trial studies how well dietary and exercise interventions work in reducing side effects in patients with stage I-IIIa breast cancer taking aromatase inhibitors. Anti-inflammatory Mediterranean dietary and bone strengthening exercise interventions may alleviate medication side effects such as joint and bone pain and protectively influence bone mineral density, improve heart functioning, and reduce risk of breast cancer recurrence in breast cancer patients taking aromatase inhibitors.
CONTESSA TRIO is a multi-cohort, multicenter, Phase 2 study of tesetaxel, an investigational, orally administered taxane, in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In Cohort 1, approximately 200 patients with triple-negative MBC who have not received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive tesetaxel plus either: (1) nivolumab; (2) pembrolizumab; or (3) atezolizumab. The primary efficacy endpoints for Cohort 1 are objective response rate (ORR) and progression free survival (PFS) in patients with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive status. In Cohort 2, approximately 60 elderly patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative MBC who have not received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease will receive tesetaxel monotherapy. The primary efficacy endpoints for Cohort 2 are ORR and PFS in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative disease. In Cohort 3, approximately 60 non-elderly adult patients with HER2-negative MBC who have not received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease will receive tesetaxel monotherapy. The primary efficacy endpoints for Cohort 3 are ORR and PFS in patients with HR positive, HER2-negative disease.
This study evaluates the anti-tumor effects of ORIN 1001 in patients with advanced solid tumors or relapsed refractory metastatic breast cancer (patients with progressive disease after receiving at least two lines of therapy in the advanced setting).
This study aims to investigate if lipid composition mapping using magnetic resonance imaging could improve early and accurate cancer detection in genetic mutation carriers at high risk of breast cancer. It is hypothesised that there is a significant difference in the extent of spatial variation in lipid composition in breast from MRI between genetic mutation carriers and patients with breast cancer.
This is a randomized, multicenter, open, controlled Post-Marketing Study. 272 early stage female breast cancer patients who were histopathology confirmed with adjuvant chemotherapy indications were enrolled in this study .The subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups at a 1: 1 ratio, and stratified by trastuzumab,age,baseline cardiac risk factors.
1. The primary objective is to compare rates of persistence (continuation) of any endocrine therapy (ET) between patients assigned to standard of care follow-up (control arm) versus standard of care plus a bi-directional text messaging intervention (intervention arm) 2. The secondary objectives are: (i) To assess time to permanent discontinuation of ET (switching from an aromatase inhibitor to another ET is permitted). The investigators will also account for treatment breaks. (ii) To assess QOL at baseline, and at 6 and 12 months after initiation of ET (FACT-ES1, Brief Pain Inventory2, Overall Treatment Burden3,4, individual symptom LASA scales4) and compare between arms (iii) To assess adherence self-efficacy (SEAMS5 tool, Voils Extent of Non-Adherence Scale6), financial burden (COST tool7,8), beliefs about medications (modified BMQ tool9,10), and perceived ability to communicate with one's physician (PEPPI11 tool) and compare between arms (iv) To compare the time to endocrine therapy discontinuation in both the intervention and control arms (v) To characterize factors (including clinicopathologic features, socioeconomic status, and comorbidities) associated with non-adherence in both the intervention arm and the control arm, which may enable us to identify women who are at particularly high risk of non-adherence. (vi) To assess adherence to medication as reported through the BETA-Text intervention (vii) To collect the time to onset and trend of severity of side effects in women assigned to the text messaging intervention.
REaCT-RETT will demonstrate the non-inferiority of concurrent compared to sequential endocrine therapy in patients receiving post-operative radiotherapy for early stage breast cancer.
