Filter by:In the REaCT-Vascular Access Trastuzumab study (REaCT-VA), the investigator will use a novel method to allow comparisons of established standard of care vascular access strategies using the "integrated consent model" as part of a pragmatic clinical trial. The investigator wishes to address a non-pharmacologic issue regarding standard of care vascular access devices. Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC lines) versus subcutaneously implanted devices (PORTs).
This is a non-randomized phase 1 trial designed to determine the MTD and evaluate the safety and tolerability of ACY-1215 with nab-paclitaxel. Based on the activity profile of ACY-1215 in breast cancer, corresponding biomarker availability with the HDAC6 MR score, and its potential synergy with taxanes, these data support the rationale for testing the ability of ACY-1215 to improve the response rate for patients with metastatic breast cancer in combination with standard taxane chemotherapy.
This is a randomized trial for patients with metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer who have progressed on an aromatase inhibitor plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor (either palbociclib or ribociclib) to either fulvestrant alone or fulvestrant with ribociclib (LEE-011). The purpose of the trial is to determine whether there is continued benefit for patients to remain on a CDK4/6 inhibitor at the time of switching anti-estrogen therapy. As ribociclib and palbociclib have a similar toxicity and drug profile and mechanism of action, we feel that it is appropriate for patients to receive either drug with an aromatase inhibitor prior to randomization.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of endocrine therapy and Palbociclib at a daily dose of 100 mg will result in a better response to therapy with fewer dose interruptions than the proposed dosing regimen of 125 mg daily for 21 days out of a 28 day cycle in combination with endocrine therapy.
Assessment of the efficacy and safety of JX-594 and metronomic cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma and advanced breast cancer, once the Maximum Tolerated Dose have been determined (phase I trial). Phase I study: this is a prospective open-labeled phase I trial based on a dose escalating study design assessing two dose levels of JX594 when prescribed in combination with metronomic cyclophosphamide. Phase II trials with two treatments strategies: Metronomic CP + JX-594: phase II study sarcoma: this is a monocentric, randomized two-arm non comparative phase 2 study assessing efficacy and safety of JX-594 in association with metronomic cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma. Metronomic CP + JX-594: phase II study breast cancer: this is a monocentric, single-arm phase II study, assessing efficacy and safety of JX-594 in association with metronomic cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced breast cancer. Metronomic CP + JX-594 + Avelumab: phase II study sarcoma: this is a monocentric, single arm phase II study assessing efficacy and safety of avelumab in combination with IT JX-594 and metronomic cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma. Metronomic CP + JX-594 + Avelumab:: phase II study breast cancer: this is a monocentric, single-arm phase II study, assessing efficacy and safety of avelumab in combination with IT JX-594 and metronomic cyclophosphamide in patients with advanced breast cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficiency and safety between paclitaxel combined with epirubicin and vinorelbine combined with epirubicin when used in neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced (IIb-IIIc) HER2-negative breast cancer with TEKT4 variations.
The expression of PD-L1 in breast cancer has been previously demonstrated (Ghebeh et al 2006). In addition, PD-L1 has been shown to work as a "molecular shield", by protecting cancer cells from cytotoxic T-cells and chemotherapy induced apoptosis (Ghebeh et al 2008) suggesting to combine PD-L1 blockade with chemotherapy. This trial will test Durvalumab in combination with Paclitaxel on metastatic triple-negative breast cancer patients. The safety profile of Durvalumab as a monotherapy has been previously established (lu et al 2015). In this trial the safety profile and tolerability of Durvalumab given in combination of Paclitaxel will be tested. In addition, the efficacy of this combination on metastatic breast cancer will be monitored.
A common complication of breast conserving therapy is breast edema, which may lead to chronic pain, but also reduced quality of life (QoL) and poor cosmetic outcome. When pain is present most patients are currently treated with physical therapy, but evidence of its effectiveness is still low and a gold standard does not yet exist. A downside of physical therapy is that patients have to undergo the therapy regularly and treatment might even has to continue for years after symptoms and treatment started. Another treatment option is a compression vest with the potential, apart from reducing symptoms, to improve self-efficacy in patients because they decide when to wear it without the need to visit therapists. However effectiveness of the compression vest has not yet been objectified in studies. The aim of this pilot study is to study if there is an effect on pain, QoL and the amount of breast edema of wearing a compression vest, in order to determine whether a large randomized study is feasible.
This study is a multi-center BCCA study that evaluates the impact of the Oncotype DX® assay on the decision making of the treating physician and the patient. The Oncotype DX® assay is a commercially available diagnostic test that aids in a physician's treatment recommendation to a breast cancer patient. The study also has a pharmacoeconomic component.
After surgical procedures, interventions to reduce postoperative bleeding are of great importance. In this study, the effect will be investigated of smearing tranexamic acid, which is designed for injection, directly onto the raw wound surface (topical application) created during surgery. Topical application allows a small amount of drug to reach a large wound area, higher drug concentration in the exposed wound surface but very low concentration in the body, and no risk of injury from needles. The researchers have recently shown that topically applicated tranexamic acid reduces bleeding in women who had two-sided breast reduction surgery. Now it will be studied whether topically applicated tranexamic acid reduces bleeding after breast surgery for breast cancer. After surgery for breast cancer patients may also experience problems with long lasting seroma. Therefore it will at the same time be investigated whether topical tranexamic acid reduces the development of seroma in these patients.
