Filter by:This is a multicentre, non-interventional, prospective study to be carried out in representative oncology departments / institutions in order to determine the association between the presence of germline DNA-repair genes mutations and PD-L1 expression level in tumour and immune cells in breast cancer. No additional procedures besides those already used in the routine clinical practice will be applied to the patients.
This study is looking at a breast cancer screening technique, restriction spectrum imaging (RSI), as a possible alternative to the breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) used by most healthcare professionals. The technique involved in this study is: -Restriction Spectrum Imaging (RSI)
Introduction. Treatment with hormone therapy reduced the likelihood of tumor recurrence and metastasis in the patient. However, it has adverse effects such as: loss of bone mineral density, increase in body weight, metabolic changes and, consequently, lower quality of life. Physical training has been used as a means of reducing these and other adverse effects, but there is no definite protocol on which training model is effective, especially in patients who only use Tamoxifen or Aromatase Inhibitor as an adjuvant therapy for treatment of breast cancer. Objective: To compare the effect of aerobic training on body composition, metabolic and inflammatory variables, physical activity level, sleep, anxiety, depression, body image, fatigue, strength, flexibility and quality of life of women undergoing breast cancer treatment use Tamoxifen and Aromatase Inhibitor and women without cancer. Method. The sample will be formed by women without cancer and under treatment with hormone therapy being accompanied by the public service for treatment of breast cancer of the city of Presidente Prudente. A 24-week notification in which the face-to-face training group will undergo aerobic training three times a week on interspersed days and the group accompanied at a distance will perform as a preferred activity under a distance supervision of professionals every 14 days of return to attend the UNESP for the adequacy of the analysis and selection of attendance to the proposed activities. Evaluations of the variables of interest at the baseline of the intervention will be performed after 12 weeks and soon after the intervention. The investigators will analyze: biomarkers (TNFα, LDL, HDL, VLDL, as well as in the lipid profile (triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL fractions ), glycemia, insulin, anthropometric measurements, physical activity level, sleep, pain, anxiety, depression, body image, fatigue, strength, flexibility. Trainings will be performed within the target zone of maximum heart rate. Comparisons between groups at each time point will be performed using Student's T-test for independent samples. The comparisons of the variables of interest at the initial moment and after 12 and 24 weeks will be made through the multivariate analysis, where the group effects, time and interaction of both will be compared. All analyzes will be performed in SPSS software version 24.0 and significance of 5%.
This is a global Phase III, two-arm, open-label, multicenter, randomized study to investigate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of the fixed-dose combination (FDC) of pertuzumab and trastuzumab for subcutaneous (SC) administration in combination with chemotherapy in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive early breast cancer in the neoadjuvant/adjuvant setting.
Abbreviated Title : Pembrolizumab in hypermutated breast cancer Trial Phase : II Clinical Indication : Hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer Trial Type : Interventional Type of control : None Route of administration : Intravenous Trial Blinding : None Treatment Groups : Pembrolizumab Number of trial subjects : Approximately 150 patients will be prescreened with whole exome sequencing. Then 30 patients will be enrolled in the treatment phase. Estimated enrollment period : 12 months Estimated duration of trial : The sponsor estimates that the trial will require approximately 24 months from the time the first subject signs the informed consent until the last subject's last visit. Duration of Participation : 12 months Estimated average length of treatment per patient : 8 months
The purpose of this pilot is to provide credible performance estimate information in order to conduct a subsequent pivotal reader study.
Experimental, clinical, and epidemiological studies have all demonstrated the strong association between chronic inflammation and cancer, and many studies have correlated the prolonged presence of the inflammatory milieu with an increased risk for developing cancer.(1) Although the potential mechanism for aspirin preventing breast cancer is not known, possible pathways may involve platelets, inflammation, cyclooxygenase (COX) 2, hormones, or PI3 kinase. (2). In actual clinical practice there exist clear guidelines for the use of aspirin in colorectal cancer but no such guidelines exist for the use of aspirin in breast cancer patients. In the Unit´s proper experience, in patients under active surveillance and metastatic ones some present very good responses both in the neoadjuvant and in the metastatic setting but investigators intend to provide evidence and not just the experience. This study patients are proposed to combine their standard treatment with aspirin.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects on low risk breast cancer receiving usual care that includes regional radiation therapy, with receiving no regional radiation therapy. Researchers want to see if not giving this type of radiation treatment works as well at preventing breast cancer from coming back.
This pilot study will provide preliminary data regarding the role of PIS in predicting the benefit of immune checkpoint inhibition with or without chemotherapy for high risk patients with TNBC and residual disease after effective neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
This research is being done to determine whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can improve fatigue and certain thinking skills in women with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation is a form of brain stimulation during which low amounts of electrical current are delivered to the brain using electrodes attached to the scalp. The idea of using electrical stimulation to affect neurological symptoms has been around for more than 100 years with the first reported use in 1801. Since the 1960s, tDCS has been used in research for a variety of reasons including stroke rehabilitation, memory enhancement and for depression. People aged 18 or older who are currently receiving chemotherapy with docetaxel and who are experiencing fatigue may join.
