Filter by:The purpose of this clinical research is to define the optimal uptake time of 68Ga-OPS202 as a PET imaging agent to be used to detect and localize breast cancer somatostatin receptor subtype 2 (SSTR2) positive lesions. 68Ga-OPS202 is a radiolabelled imaging agent to be used in association with PET. 68Ga-OPS202 is made of two main components: 1) OPS202, an antagonistic somatostatin analogue which binds to the somatostatin receptor (type 2) present on the surface of the tumor cells and 2) Gallium 68, a radioisotope that, combined with OPS202, can be seen in the PET scanner.
Aromatase inhibitor therapy has become a standard adjuvant endocrine therapy for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Up to 50% of postmenopausal breast cancer survivors exhibit significant aromatase inhibitor musculoskeletal symptoms, defined as severe joint pain and stiffness. Aromatase inhibitor musculoskeletal symptoms in turn has a negative effect on the women's physical function and quality of life, leading to discontinued aromatase inhibitor therapy and causing significant social and economic burden. Given aromatase inhibitor musculoskeletal symptoms' profound effects, the management of aromatase inhibitor musculoskeletal symptoms is an essential component in cancer care. The investigators propose to test auricular point acupressure- -an innovative, non-invasive, nonpharmacologic, and low-cost intervention- -to manage aromatase inhibitor musculoskeletal symptoms in breast cancer survivors. Auricular point acupressure applies an acupuncture-like stimulation to ear acupoints without using a needle (i.e., seeds are taped to the acupoints) to treat illness/symptoms. Auricular point acupressure is particularly well suited for current challenges of unmet aromatase inhibitor musculoskeletal symptoms management. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to (1) determine the efficacy of auricular point acupressure in relieving aromatase inhibitor musculoskeletal symptoms, and (2) examine the inflammatory signaling of auricular point acupressure effects in breast cancer survivors treated with aromatase inhibitor. The investigators will also measure psychological, behavioral, personal, and social factors that may moderate or mediate the effects of auricular point acupressure. The investigators also believe inflammatory cytokines may partially explain the mechanism of action of auricular point acupressure for improved aromatase inhibitor musculoskeletal symptoms and physical function, and plan to measure these. This study will identify a novel approach to manage aromatase inhibitor musculoskeletal symptoms in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors, with minimal side effects. If successful, the paradigm of pain management will shift from a traditional medical model to a larger integrative medicine and patient-management paradigm to avoid unnecessary evolution towards prolonged disability.
This study will explore the feasibility and potential effects of a simple, home-based daily meditation intervention on breast cancer survivors' cognitive and psychological functioning as well as inflammatory regulation.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of HER2-CAR T cells in treating patients with cancer that has spread to the brain or leptomeninges and has come back (recurrent). HER2-CAR T cells delivered into the ventricles of the brain may recognize and kill tumor cells.
Systemic chemotherapy along with radiotherapy has been successfully used to post-operatively manage patients following tumour resection in breast cancer. This was further supported with clinical trials conducted in the 1970s and 1980s which shows significant improvement in progression-free of tumours and overall survival rates in patients who undergo chemotherapy for operable breast cancer.(1)-(2) Neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the other hand, involves the administration of the chemotherapeutic agents some weeks before appropriate breast surgery. This induces reduction in the tumour size and allows for breast conservative surgery instead of mastectomy in some cases. Techniques for tumour localization in neoadjuvant chemotherapy using metallic markers allowing lower excision of breast tissue without compromising margins and breast conservation being feasible in many patients have evolved over time.(3)-(7)-(9) However, there are recent concerns questioning the increase use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer it as it may not be beneficial to patients in the long run.(10)
500mg Fulvestrant versus Everolimus plus Exemestane in MBC patients refractory to previous AI
The aim of this study is to assess feasibility of a new imaging technology in the management of breast cancer (TMEM-MRI)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody（SCT200）in patients with triple receptor negative breast cancer treated after failure of standard therapy (including Anthracyclines and/or Taxanes).
This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy given with standard care palbociclib and hormone therapy work in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread from one part of the body to the bone. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Palbociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Antihormone therapy, such as fulvestrant, letrozole, anastrozole, exemestane, or tamoxifen, may lessen the amount of estrogen made by the body. Giving radiation therapy, palbociclib, and hormone therapy may work better in treating breast cancer patients with bone metastasis.
This is a biomarker study designed to test the preclinically generated hypothesis of anti-tumoral activity of denosumab in patients with early breast cancer candidates a tumour excision
