Filter by:Through improved early detection and treatment, the number of long term breast cancer survivors continues to increase. There are now 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. Florida alone adds over 9,000 women to the survivorship pool each year. Most receive radiation treatment (RT) of the affected breast and chest wall to reduce risk of recurrence. Even with advanced radiation techniques for dose conformality to minimize exposure of the highly sensitive lung, 14% of breast cancer patients treated with radiation develop clinical pulmonary toxicity, with 4% overall experiencing high grade clinical toxicity. Early diagnosis and intervention to mitigate lung radiation toxicity is increasingly important for the long term care of these survivors. The investigators' goal is to better identify breast cancer patients at high risk for experiencing severe pulmonary toxicity requiring medical intervention, provide a means to identify toxicity early on, and tailor treatment and/or early intervention on a per-patient basis.
The purpose of this research study is to help us learn if an experimental imaging device called Diffuse Optical Spectroscopic Imaging (DOSI) can monitor tumor shrinkage during chemotherapy treatment and can predict if the tumor will respond to chemotherapy before the end of the treatment. This study will also help us understand the biological reason for how DOSI works.
The purpose of the present trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics(PK)/pharmacodynamics(PD) of single subcutaneous injection of GW003 in breast cancer patients. Moreover, the efficacy will be assessed preliminary.
This is an open label, neoadjuvant phase II study to evaluate the objective response, toxicity, and safety of trastuzumab emtansine in patients with newly diagnosed HER2-equivocal breast cancer. Trastuzumab emtansine at a dose of 3.6 mg/kg will be intravenously administered every 3 weeks for a total of 6 weeks. Patients who achieve a partial or complete response after the 6-week treatment (responders) will continue on trastuzumab emtansine for an additional 12 weeks.
This study is an open-label,non randomized, multi-center, phase 1/2b (dose escalation followed by expansion part) study evaluating clinical safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of PQR309 in combination with standard dose of eribulin in patients with locally advanced or metastatic HER2-negative (escalation part) and Triple Negative Breast Cancer (expansion part).
The current Rethinking Clinical Trials (REaCT) trial will compare two schedules(12- vs. 4-weekly) of bone-targeting agents (BTAs) to evaluate quality of life, pain and skeletal events within the Canadian Health Care System. This study will use an "integrated consent model" that involves "oral consent" rather than a written informed consent writing process as the study is comparing standard schedules and not a new administration schedule.
The central goal of this study is to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the IE intervention on patient and partner sexual QOL and relationship outcomes, and on patient psychosocial outcomes. We expect that the IE will show adequate feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy. Secondarily, based on the rationale that barriers exist that limit participation in intensive sexual QOL interventions for breast cancer survivors, an innovative secondary aim will investigate the perspectives of study-eligible patient candidates who opt out of participating in the pilot trial. We expect that we will be able to identify the participation barriers and intervention preferences of breast cancer survivors with sexual concerns who opt out of the intensive trial in order to inform the development of different interventions for future study.
Primary Objective: To determine if dasatinib, an inhibitor of the Src family kinases, can prevent the nuclear translocation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in Stage I-III, nuclear EGFR positive, triple negative breast cancers (TNBC). Secondary Objectives: 1. To examine the safety and tolerability of dasatinib in patients with operable TNBC 2. To explore potential intracellular mechanisms which impact dasatinib effect on cellular localization of EGFR in operable TNBC. 3. To examine the pathologic complete response (pCR) rates to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy in nEGFR+ TNBC 4. To examine breast cancer recurrence rates and patterns of metastatic recurrent in nEGFR+ TNBC
The purpose of this study is to determine whether pectoral nerves blocks(PECS) would reduce chronic pain at 3 months after modified radical mastectomy(MRM)surgery.
This is a phase Ib study designed to evaluate the safety and toxicity of the combination of Alisertib and MLN0128 in patients with advanced solid tumors with an expansion cohort in patients with previously treated metastatic TNBC.
