Filter by:The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if metformin can help to control nerve damage (loss of motor or sensory function) that may be caused by treatment with paclitaxel in patients with breast cancer. In this study, metformin will be compared to a placebo. A placebo is not a drug. It looks like the study drug, but it is not designed to treat any disease or illness. It is designed to be compared with a study drug to learn if the study drug has any real effect.
With the proposed project we seek to advance the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer in an outpatient breast clinic. Novel sonographic approaches will be scrutinized. The first aim of this study will be to explore whether there is an advantage of ductosonography over conventional breast sonography in detecting and localizing breast lesions by comparing the diagnostic accuracy of ductosonography and conventional breast sonography in detecting suspicious and unclear sonographic lesions.In Addition, reliability and time requirement of ductosonographic examination will be investigated. The second specific aim is to investigate the potential of tissue elasticity as a diagnostic marker in solid breast lesions (US-BI-RADS 3, 4 and 5) by elastosonography. The study design allows investigating the reproducibility of the method.
Open label, non-randomized, dose escalation and expansion Phase Ia/b trial to evaluate the safety of the combination of BMN 673 and carboplatin, and subsequently BMN 673 in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin to determine the recommended Phase II dose of the combination.
Survival in young patients with cancer has increased and also have increased the adverse long-term side effects of chemotherapy, there is a large number of women who experience loss of ovarian function without accomplishing their reproductive desire due to gonadotoxic treatment. The ovarian reserve determine the response to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in fertility preservation treatments as well as in assisted reproduction techniques. Improving this reserve by avoiding its depletion during the process could result in increase fertility rates after cancer treatment. Collecting follicles during tamoxifen treatment would increase the number of cryopreserved oocytes and thus rise the potential ovarian reserve in these patients, which is reduced due to age, chemotherapy and length of treatments. The aim of this study is to retrieve viable mature oocytes during adjuvancy with tamoxifen in breast cancer patients to improve the probability of subsequent pregnancy.
This randomized research trial studies the Community-based Health Information Technology (HIT) Tools for Cancer Screening and Health Insurance Promotion (CATCH-UP) intervention in increasing cancer screening and prevention care in uninsured patients at community health centers. The CATCH-UP intervention may contribute to increased rates of insurance coverage, leading to improved cancer screening and prevention rates in community health care settings, and general recommended preventive care.
Growing studies demonstrated that Androgen Receptor (AR) has an oncogenic role for the patients with AR-positive Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). AR antagonists in therapy, such as bicalutamide, completely binds to the AR, increasing AR degradation, thus are investigated for the efficacy of the treatment of patients with AR-positive TNBC in the study.
This clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and gene expression in diagnosing patients with abnormal cells in the breast duct that have not spread outside the duct. MRI uses radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. MRI may help find and diagnose patients with breast cancer. It may also help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. Genetic studies may help doctors predict the outcome of treatment and the risk for disease recurrence. Performing MRI with genetic studies may help determine the best treatment for patients with breast cancer in situ.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies omega-3 fatty acid in reducing cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer survivors. Supplementation with omega-3 fatty acid may help reduce cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer survivors.
The primary objective of this study is to determine if S-equol, an ER-beta agonist, is effective in decreasing the proliferation rate of triple negative breast cancer.
Patients with breast cancer undergo a series of psiclofisicas alterations during cancer treatment, chemotherapy phase being one of the more aggressive ete effect. These changes reduce the quality of life and result in a loss of physical health-related condition. Studies have shown that the practice of physical exercise and rehabilitation strategies enhance or attenuate the impact of chemotherapy on quality of life of patients. At present, technological development from telerehabilitación systems is a promising strategy that enables fast and efficient communication between health professionals and patients, especially at this stage of the disease where the patient may encounter difficulties in matching measures improving their lifestyle with aggressive medical treatment. To carry out this study a controlled study masked, parallel-group done were conducted usual care control group and an intervention based on a web system telerehabilitación to improve the physical condition associated with health and performed quality of life.
