Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HER2-CAR-T cell Infusion for advanced HER2 positive breast cancer.
This is a cohort study. This study is to develop a predictive model of the side effects after chemotherapy, exploreing the potential risk factors of the side effects such as myelosuppression and chemotherapy realted vomit after the chemotherapy, so that it could help to alleviate patients' fear and anxiety about the side effects and the toxicity of chemotherapy. The potential risk factors were measured at baseline.
ABX Plus Cisplatin Versus Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)
The purpose of the study is to investigate the molecular biology of the tumor in relation to treatment response to chemotherapy, in particular paclitaxel compared to the combination paclitaxel and carboplatin. The study is carried out in two different, separate cohorts: Cohort I: Patients with large primary breast cancer (> 2.0 cm) including locally advanced disease, are treated with weekly paclitaxel for 12 weeks, before continuing on anthracycline containing regimen for another 12 weeks before surgery. Patient are randomized 1:1 to receive carboplatin in addition to paclitaxel for the first 12 weeks of the treatment. Cohort II: Patients with metastatic disease, available for biopsies before and during therapy are included to receive paclitaxel for 24 weeks. Patients are randomized 1:1 to receive paclitaxel alone or paclitaxel in combination with carboplatin.
This phase I/II research trial studies supportive care questionnaires in gathering data on unmet needs and health-related quality of life in Latina breast cancer survivors after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Questionnaires that address unmet supportive care needs and health-related quality of life of breast cancer survivors may help doctors learn about barriers to cancer care that are linked to language, acculturation, knowledge about diagnosis and care, and financial concerns. Learning about unmet needs of breast cancer patients may help increase quality of life and decrease healthcare utilization and costs.
Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is an incurable disease and is needed to improve effective therapeutic strategies including targeted agents. Poziotinib is a panHER tyrosin kinase inhibitor (TKI) that showed stable activity with feasible toxicity for MBC patients as a salvage treatment strategy after failure of anthracycline and taxane in phase I trial. Poziotinib has rational benefit compared with other salvage agents, especially for patients with HER2 overexpression breast cancers. Additionally, a recent report showed that possible rational background for patients with HER2 mutation-positive breast cancers. Based on this rationale, the investigators are to conduct phase II single-arm study of poziotinib for patients with MBC who showed refractoriness to conventional treatments as salvage treatment.
This is a cohort study of 16 women undergoing post-mastectomy chest wall radiotherapy for breast cancer comparing two ways of modifying the radiation beam with bolus (a 5mm rubber substance placed on the skin to modify the radiation beam). The hypothesis is that 3D printed bolus will conform more closely to the chest wall than standard 5mm-thick standard bolus and thus lead to less chance of underdose or overdose of the skin. Each patient will receive the standard dose of radiotherapy, but half the treatments will use standard bolus and half the treatments will 3D printed bolus (ie each patient will act as is their own control). The primary outcome is the comparison of the amount of air under the bolus for each technique. Secondary outcome is the amount of time it takes to set up the patient for radiotherapy.
Development of an active second-line treatment option for metastatic breast cancer patients previously pre-treated with anthracyclines and taxanes in neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative settings.For each randomisation arm, 100 patients will be included. The trial was performed as a 2-stage phase II study according to the optimal design by Simon with overall response rate as the primary objective. Study Design: Arm A Vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 d1, 8;Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 d1, 8 q 3 weeks Arm B Vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 d1, 8;Cisplatin 25 mg/m2 d1, 2,3 q 3 weeks
In Europe, breast cancer is by far the most common form of cancer diagnosed in women today, accounting for 29% of all cases. The 5-year survival rate is approximately 90%. Surgery is usually combined with radiotherapy (RT), anthracyclines, aromatase inhibitors and/or trastuzumab (Herceptin) which all have improved the life expectancy and survival in breast cancer patients. Unfortunately, RT is associated with a broad spectrum of cardiovascular diseases, which includes coronary artery disease, valvular dysfunction, congestive heart failure and stroke, and is the most common non-malignancy cause of death. During the last two decades, RT regimens for breast cancer have changed and the doses of radiation to which the heart is exposed are now potentially lower due to new and improved RT techniques. However, there are no data on whether these new regimes decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. In this study the incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases will be estimated 8 and 15 years after both conventional and laser assisted breath controlled RT, and compared with cardiovascular diseases in the general female population. A further aim is to evaluate signs and prevalence of acute cardiotoxicity from RT with the use of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, coronary fractional flow reserve, ECG and inflammatory and cardiac biomarkers and to investigate whether these signs can predict later cardiovascular disease. The importance of traditional cardiovascular risk factors (age, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoking habits and physical activity, as registered before RT) will also be evaluated.
Breast cancer are common on mediterranean basin. Epidemiological data suggest that breast cancer in young women (< 40years old) is more aggressive in the Maghreb countries comparatively to western countries. This aggressiveness could be associated with phenotypic and genotypic differences between this two populations.
