Filter by:This study is funded by the HEAL Initiative (https://heal.nih.gov/). Based on Preliminary Studies (PSs), the research team developed and pilot-tested an evidence-based Web App-based information and coaching/support program for cancer pain management (CAPA) that was culturally tailored to Asian American breast cancer survivors using multiple unique features. However, CAPA rarely considered depressive symptoms accompanying pain in its design or components, and PSs indicated the necessity of further individualization of the intervention components of CAPA due to diversities in the needs of ABD. The purpose of the proposed 2-phase study is to further develop CAPA with additional components for ABD and the individual optimization functionality (CAI) and to test the efficacy of CAI in improving cancer pain experience of ABD. The specific aims are to: a) develop and evaluate CAI through an expert review and a usability test (R61 phase); b) determine whether the intervention group (that uses CAI and usual care) will show significantly greater improvements than the active control group (that uses CAPA and usual care) in primary outcomes (cancer pain management and cancer pain experience including depressive symptoms) from baseline to post 1-month and post 3-months; c) identify theory-based variables (attitudes, self-efficacy, perceived barriers, and social influences) that mediate the intervention effects of CAI on the primary outcomes; and d) determine whether the effects of CAI on the primary outcomes are moderated by selected background, disease, genetic, and situational factors. This study is guided by the Bandura's Theory and the stress and coping framework by Lazarus and Folkman. The R61 phase includes: (a) the intervention development process, (b) a usability test among 15 ABD, 15 family members, and 15 community gatekeepers; and (c) an expert review among 10 experts in oncology. The R33 phase adopts a randomized repeated measures control group design among 300 ABD. Long-term goals are: (a) to extend and test CAI in various healthcare settings with diverse subgroups of ABD, (b) examine the costeffectiveness, sustainability, and scalability of CAI in the settings, and (c) translate CAI into health care for ABD.
This is a prospective, open-label, within-patient clinical trial to determine the accuracy of Indocyanine green (ICG) guided sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) compared to the standard dual-tracer SLNB in breast cancer patients who have had chemotherapy as a first treatment using a non-inferiority design. Patients with operable breast cancer treated with chemotherapy and eligible for SLNB will be included in the study. During surgery, ICG will be injected and used to identify fluorescent sentinel nodes using a hand-held imaging camera; radiotracer and blue dye will also be used as per standard protocols. Intraoperative and clinicopathologic outcomes such as complications, characteristics of nodes, false negative rates and feasibility will be assessed. Patients will be asked to complete standardized patient reported outcome questionnaires (Breast-Q, FACT-B+4, VAS) to define the patient experience with this novel technique.
Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. The purpose of this study is to assess adverse events and change in disease activity when ABBV-400 is given to adult participants to treat advanced solid tumors. ABBV-400 is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of advanced solid tumors. Study doctors put the participants in groups called cohorts. Each cohort receives ABBV-400 alone (monotherapy) followed by a safety follow-up period. Approximately 220 adult participants with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), biliary tract cancers (BTC), esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), hormone receptor+/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer (hormone receptor-positive [HR+]/HER2-breast cancer [BC]), head and neck squamous-cell-carcinoma (HNSCC), or advanced solid tumors, will be enrolled in the study in approximately 60 sites worldwide. In the each cohorts, participants with the following advanced solid tumor indications: HCC, PDAC, BTC, ESCC, TNBC, HR+/HER2-BC, and HNSCC will receive intravenous (IV) ABBV-400 monotherapy for up to 2 years during and up to the treatment period with an additional safety follow-up period of up to 2 years. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at an approved institution (hospital or clinic). The effect of the treatment will be frequently checked by medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires and side effects.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SKB264 in patients with unresectable locally advanced, recurrent, or metastatic HR+/HER2- breast cancer.
TNBC is known for poor prognosis, aggressive patterns of disease, and significant molecular heterogeneity. (Neo)adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is standard of care in all node-positive and in node-negative patients with a tumour size >5 mm according to current National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. However, TNBC patients with lower stage disease do clearly have a better prognosis compared to more advanced stages. Patients with stage I-II node-negative disease have 3-5 year iDFS rates of 80-90% (with majority of relapses within the first three years) as shown in several trials.Although survival results appear much better in the lower vs. higher stages, there is a high clinical need in this most common group of TNBC patients in Western Europe and USA.
The goal of this research study is to determine the feasibility and potential effects of physical therapy and enhanced patient education delivered before breast cancer treatment. Physical therapy before cancer treatment aims to help with early identification and self-management of physical and functional side effects from cancer treatment. Side effects could be joint pain, muscle weakness, or fatigue that contribute to functional impairment. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Determine the feasibility (acceptability and suitability) and potential effects of an early intervention called 'Moving On-After Breast Cancer' (MOve-ABC) on physical and functional side effects of cancer compared to enhanced usual care in a large academic medical system to help us refine and adjust the intervention in preparation for a large randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial. 2. Determine whether MOve-ABC also affects patient self-management and provider knowledge and behaviors related to detection and management of physical and functional effects associated with cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to either of the two arms of the study which are 'Intervention' and 'Enhanced usual care.' Participants in the intervention arm will receive: 1. Planned care per their oncology physician team plus: 1.1. Patient education on physical function in breast cancer 1.2. Physical therapy evaluation 1.3. Individualized home exercise prescription 1.4. Education materials in the form of a study booklet, study website, text messaging, and phone calls 1.5. Monthly monitoring of physical and functional survey scores to identify the need for physical therapy and provide referrals as needed Participants in the enhanced usual care arm will receive: 1. Planned care per their oncology physician team plus 1.2. Monthly monitoring of their physical functional scores to identify the need for physical therapy and provide referrals as needed All participants will attend three in-person visits for clinical measurements.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the therapeutic effects of chemotherapy followed by surgery and surgery followed by chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer（LABC). Patients with LABC will be randomly divided into two groups, each receiving chemotherapy followed by surgery or surgery followed by chemotherapy. The main comparison was between the disease-free survival (DFS) of two groups of patients, with the secondary study endpoint being overall survival (OS); Five year survival; Local recurrence or distant metastasis rate.
Breast cancer survivors typically experience fatigue, pain, insomnia, depression, anxiety, difficulty in concentrating, memory impairment, body image problems, vaginal dryness, interest in sex decreasing, hot flashes, gain weight, and infertility. All of these problems affect quality of life (QoL) mainly during the early survival and they become even more important to understand and address if long-term effects could be prevented. The use of PROs in care settings has demonstrated improvement in provider/patient communication, recognition of previously unrecognized issues, as well as patient satisfaction with care. In order to allow to patients the use of the PRO "survivorship concerns" in their mother tongue, it is imprtant to have validated translations with transcultural adaptation. The main goals of this multicentric study are the translation, adaptability and transcultural validation of the PRO questionnaire "survivorship concerns" to put in evidence rehabilitation needs in breast cancer patients in early stage.
This study is a randomized controlled, open-label, multicenter phase III clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy selected by investigator JSKN003 s in subjects with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who have previously failed first- or second-line chemotherapy in subjects with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer who have failed prior first- or second-line chemotherapy. The study planned to enroll 400 subjects in a 1:1 ratio and stratified block randomization method assigned to: - Experimental group: JSKN003 monotherapy - Control group: investigator's chosen chemotherapy drug (capecitabine, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, docetaxel, albumin-bound paclitaxel, or eribulin) monotherapy
The goal of this single-group prospective study is to examine the impact of the Healthy Eating and Active Lifestyle (HEAL) Breast Cancer program on participants' perceived stress, biometrics, basic labs, lifestyle behaviors, self-efficacy, mental health, and quality of life. Participants will participate in an 8-week program of 90-minute virtual sessions each week to decrease risk of cancer recurrence. Program participants can choose to participate in the research study which will include data collection (surveys, biometrics, basic labs). The data collection will occur at four timepoints - baseline prior to program start, post-program, 3 month follow-up, and 6 month follow-up.
