Filter by:This study aims to evaluate for the first time in Colombia the immunogenicity and safety of autologous DCs as enhancers of the immune response in patients with ductal breast cancer who, prior to surgical resection of the tumor, will receive neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide. concomitantly with the transfer of autologous DCs. This clinical trial is based on the concept proposed in countries like France more than a decade ago, that chemotherapy or radiotherapy cause the tumor cells to release certain signals that favor the activation of the immune system against cancer. Therefore, the combined use of chemotherapy with vaccination with dendritic cells would provide the immune system with greater antitumor response capacity, taking advantage of the release of said signals to initiate a series of processes that would be reflected in the activation of T lymphocytes capable of destroying the remaining cells of the tumor. To determine the specificity of the response evoked by the adoptive transfer of autologous DCs, in each patient the degree of recognition of the tumor by the immune system before and after said procedure will be evaluated. These results will be compared with those of patients who participated in a control group. Hypothesis Adoptive transfer of autologous DCs generated in vitro, in patients with stage IIA-IV breast cancer who receive neoadjuvant therapy with Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide, is a safe procedure that stimulates anti-tumor immune responses in treated patients. Principal aim: To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the use of DCs when used in patients with stage IIA-IV breast cancer in association with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy with Doxorubicin/Cyclophosphamide. Specific aims: - Generate immuno-competent dendritic cells in conditions of Good Clinical Practice and Good Laboratory Practices. - Determine in each patient the immunological status of specific T lymphocytes against tumor antigens, before and after chemotherapy, in order to demonstrate whether the adoptive transfer of DCs favors the anti-tumor immune response. - Register in patients with breast cancer in neo-adjuvant chemotherapy the class and frequency of adverse effects that could be generated as a result of the adoptive transfer of autologous DCs.
This study will evaluate an oil blend with active ingredients for the reduction in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in people with breast cancer. Half of the participants will receive the oil blend with active ingredients and the other half will receive a placebo (an oil blend with no active ingredients). One-fourth of the people will also take pictures of their life with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.
The BCB is a tool: - for research in analytical and public health epidemiology, biological research and for the development of data useful for clinical research and therapeutic trials; - to help scientists understand and explain phenomena ranging from the interaction of molecules to the whole metabolism of the organism in normal and pathological situations; - to identify potential strategies for prevention, diagnosis, management and analysis of cancer subtypes. The creation of a broad clinical and biological prospective base dedicated to different types of cancer is essential for the development of such projects.
Patients with metastatic breast cancer with at least 2 brain metastases will receive pembrolizumab every 3 weeks. Patients will undergo stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) to one of the brain lesions. Pembrolizumab infusion will be given on Day 4 (+/-1) after SRS treatment at the standard dose of 200mg IV over 30 minutes and repeated every 3 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
This phase II trial studies how well autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes LN-145 (LN-145) or LN-145-S1 works in treating patients with ovarian cancer, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), anaplastic thyroid cancer, osteosarcoma, or other bone and soft tissue sarcomas that do not respond to treatment (refractory) or that has come back (relapsed). LN-145 is made by collecting and growing specialized white blood cells (called T-cells) that are collected from the patient's tumor. LN-145-S1 is made using a modified process that chooses a specific portion of the T-cells. The T cells may specifically recognize, target, and kill the tumor cells.
The trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel web-based intervention (Optimune), which was designed to introduce relevant cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to women with breast cancer who are past the active eradication phase and free from disease recurrence. The present study will test the hypothesis that Optimune has an impact on immune status, markers of inflammation and psychometric outcomes. Therefore, 150 woman with breast cancer will be recruited and randomized to two groups: (1) a control group, in which they may engage with any treatment (Care-as-Usual, CAU) and receive access to Optimune after a delay of 6 months (i.e., CAU/wait list control group), or (2) to a treatment group that immediately receives 12-month access to Optimune and may also use CAU. The primary outcome measure is the effect on inflammatory parameters six month post-baseline.
The overall goal of this study is to qualitatively explore how behavioral, cultural, psychosocial, and economic barriers and facilitators affect the decision to start and adhere to endocrine therapy (ET) among young breast cancer survivors of diverse racial, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds with hormone receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer
This is a multicenter, international, double-blind randomized Phase III study to evaluate the pathological complete response (pCR) according to Chevalier classification between Fulvestrant® and the combination of Fulvestrant® plus Palbociclib as neoadjuvant therapy of hormone-sensitive patients with operable luminal breast cancer. Eligible patients will be assessed upfront using the OncotypeDX® molecular test (Recurrence Score <31).
This non-interventional study is designated as a Post Marketing Surveillance Study and is a commitment to Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). Before the approval of IBRANCE® in Korea, as a part of Risk Management Plan (RMP), which is required by MFDS, safety and efficacy information of new medication will be provided at minimum 1,000 participants administered in the setting of routine practice during the initial 9 years after the approval.
This is a phase II randomized trial that will evaluate the effect of adding LHRH analogue, goserelin, to the standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy to patients with triple negative breast cancer. Targeting LHRH might decrease resistance to chemotherapeutic agents in the neoadjuvant setting and increases clinical and pathological response rates. Additionally, exploring potential surrogate markers (as AR and LHRH receptors) for molecular distinct subtypes of TNBC.
