Filter by:A phase 2 non-randomized study to assess the safety and efficacy of the combination of tucatinib and trastuzumab with capecitabine for the treatment of leptomeningeal metastases in HER2-neu positive breast cancer.
The purpose of the pivotal reader study is to assess the comparative accuracy of Fujifilm DBT plus S-View versus FFDM in the detection of breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer affecting women. To treat locally advanced breast cancers, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is often carried out before surgery to reduce the tumour size to allow breast conservation surgery. However, treatment response for individual patients varies, where the tumour may not respond to treatment and the quality of patient care is compromised if the NACT treatment plan is not optimised. Therefore, the assessment of NACT efficacy is beneficial for the early identification of these patients and appropriate management of treatment. Breast tumours have unique features compared to healthy tissue, including abnormal tissue structure and biochemical composition. With NACT there are specific changes to such tumour features indicating tumour treatment response. The purpose of this study is to establish how the changes to breast tumour features following NACT treatment are seen in non-invasive imaging. This study will look at scans of breast tumours using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Changes to tissue structure will be measured by advanced diffusion MRI techniques and changes to tumour related biochemical substances will be measured by advanced magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques. The investigators aim to assess if these techniques can provide information on the tumour treatment response following subsequent rounds of NACT treatment. In this longitudinal study, 25 patients undergoing NACT will be recruited for four repeated MRI investigations over the course of NACT treatment. Magnetic resonance (MR) measurements of tissue microstructure and biochemical composition will be compared against histological measurements and radiological assessments of treatment response. The study will recruit patients undergoing treatment at the NHS Grampian. This research is funded by Friends of ANCHOR, Tenovus Scotland Grampian and the NHS Grampian Endowment Research Fund.
All UK patients who participated in the TARGIT-A Trial were initially treated for early breast cancer between 2000-2012. A total of 3451 patients from 33 hospitals in 11 countries participated in the trial and a comparison was made between traditional radiotherapy given over several weeks (external beam radiotherapy, EBRT) with TARGeted Intraoperative radioTherapy (TARGIT-IORT) as a single dose given during the operation to remove the breast cancer. The trial was funded by the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme of the Department of Health, UK and sponsored by University College London. The results from this trial have been published in major medical journals and have already started changing the way breast cancer in treated around the world; please see www.targit.org.uk for more details. We would like to continue to collect data about the health status of all patients to enable us to learn about longer term differences in the effects of these treatments on health. An analysis of this information could improve treatment for patients with breast cancer. For this, HTA have granted us further funding.
This is a randomized, open, parallel-controlled, multicenter, phase II/III, seamless design clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of RC48-ADC with capecitabine + lapatinib in locally advanced or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer and HER2-positive advanced breast cancer with liver metastasis.
The main purpose of this study was to assess the antitumor activity of three combinations: i) LAG525 + spartalizumab; ii) LAG525 + spartalizumab + carboplatin, and iii) LAG525 + carboplatin in participants with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in first or second line therapy.
A PHASE 2, NON RANDOMIZED, OPEN LABEL, SINGLE ARM, MULTI CENTER STUDY OF TALAZOPARIB FOR NEOADJUVANT TREATMENT OF GERMLINE BRCA1/2 MUTATION PATIENTS WITH EARLY HUMAN EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR 2 NEGATIVE BREAST CANCER
This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of adjuvant atezolizumab in combination with paclitaxel, followed by atezolizumab, dose-dense doxorubicin or epirubicin (investigator's choice), and cyclophosphamide, compared with paclitaxel followed by dose-dense doxorubicin or epirubicin (investigator's choice) and cyclophosphamide alone in patients with Stage II-III TNBC (Triple Negative Breast Cancer)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients are able to participate in a so called prehabilitation program (prior to the beginning of cancer treatment) which includes (1) a supervised and home-based exercise program plus one educational session or (2) just home-based exercise plus one educational session or (3) just one educational session. Breast cancer surgery may have potential for several side effects, including functional (e.g. flexibility in the affected arm, lymphedema [swelling that generally occurs in the arms or legs that occurs as a result of the removal of or damage to lymph nodes as a part of cancer treatment], shoulder pain) and psychosocial (e.g. reduced quality of life, increased fatigue) aspects. Evidence shows that exercise is considered to be an effective treatment approach in breast cancer patients during and after treatment with regard to the above mentioned side-effects. Also, prehabilitative exercise in colon and lung cancer patients was shown as feasible and effective. However, no experience exits with regard to prehabilitation exercise in breast cancer patients.
This is an exploratory interventional study that initiates chemotherapy with letrozole in patients with estrogen receptor positive/HER2-negative breast cancer preoperably.
