Filter by:This research study is evaluating whether the use of digital breast tomosynthesis and near-infrared tomographic optical breast imaging (DBT-TOBI) scans can predict the response of triple negative or HER2+ breast cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The study radiologic scan involved in this study is digital breast tomosynthesis (also called 3 Dimensional mammogram) combined with near-infrared tomographic optical breast imaging, or DBT-TOBI.
Capecitabine is recommended for adjuvant treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer and is particularly effective in patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). CREATE-X clinical studies have demonstrated that Capecitabine can further improve prognosis and demonstrate good tolerance in patients who have not achieved pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Previous studies have confirmed that the pathological features of the low- hormone receptor (HR)positive population in breast cancer are similar to those in the TNBC population, with a poor prognosis and are not sensitive to adjuvant endocrine therapy. We hypothesize that the use of Capecitabine in breast cancer patients with residual invasive carcinoma after neoadjuvant chemotherapy may improve prognosis.
POLAR is a phase III clinical trial, which will test the safety and efficacy of an investigational combination of drugs to learn whether the combination of drugs works for a specific cancer. Palbociclib (Ibrance®) is the name of the investigational agent, which is assessed together with standard anti-hormone therapy in this study. Palbociclib is used to treat patients with hormone receptor-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer which has spread beyond the original tumor and/or to other organs. During this study, anti-hormone therapy will consist of either a selective estrogen receptor modulator (such as tamoxifen) or an aromatase inhibitor (anastrozole, letrozole, exemestane) or fulvestrant (Faslodex®). Premenopausal women and men may also receive a drug called an LHRH (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone) agonist by injection. It is standard of care for people with hormone receptor positive breast cancer to take anti-hormone therapy. The study doctor will determine the type of standard anti-hormone therapy that will be given during this trial. The purpose of the POLAR study is to compare the effect of using 3 years of palbociclib in combination with standard anti-hormone therapy with standard anti-hormone therapy alone and to evaluate the time until the breast cancer returns, if it does return.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and effectiveness of using durvalumab with trastuzumab and pertuzumab in participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-enriched breast cancer.
This is a multicenter, single arm, phase II study evaluating the efficacy of image-guided de-escalating neoadjuvant treatment with paclitaxel, Herceptin® (trastuzumab), carboplatin, and pertuzumab (PTC-Ptz) in stage II-Ill HER2-positive breast cancer.
This is an international, multicenter, open-label, non-comparative, Simon´s two-stage design, phase II clinical trial.
To evaluate the clinical benefit of a post-operative adjuvant therapy combining radiotherapy + Nivolumab + Ipilimumab versus radiotherapy + Capecitabine in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Four in 10 women diagnosed with breast cancer undergo mastectomy with or without breast reconstruction and less than half are satisfied with how they look unclothed. Breast conservation (removing the area with the lump only) can offer less extensive surgery and improved breast appearance, which can therefore increase well-being. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) closely shapes the radiation beam to the cancer and is currently given after breast surgery. A new combination of IMRT followed by hormone treatment given before surgery, may increase the possibility of breast conservation.
This study is focused on understanding how the investigators can improve upon breast cancer and health outcomes for older participants with breast cancer.
This study will help the researchers learn more about factors that affect the decisions about fertility preservation and family building made by young women with breast cancer.
