Filter by:Trial for the optimization of risk assessment and therapy success prediction in patients with early breast cancer by the use of biomarkers in advance to therapy decision-making to personalize therapies.
This phase II trial studies the efficacy of trastuzumab treatment in breast cancer patients with stage II-III human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative tumors and HER2-expressing bone marrow disseminated tumor cells (DTCs). Administering targeted trastuzumab therapy to these patients may result in the elimination of HER2 expressing disseminated tumor cells and improved disease free survival.
This observational study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and patient reported quality of life of palliative first-line Perjeta (pertuzumab) in combination with Herceptin (trastuzumab) in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer (metastatic or locally recurrent, inoperable) who relapsed after completed adjuvant Herceptin therapy. Additionally, information on selection criteria of breast cancer patients treated first-line with Perjeta, Herceptin and chemotherapy and their treatment duration will be collected and analyzed. Data will be collected from eligible patients for up to 20 months of treatment and 24 months of follow-up.
This multicenter observational study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xeloda (capecitabine) in combination with docetaxel in first-line therapy in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Patients will be followed for approximately 6 months of treatment.
This multicenter, single-arm observational study will evaluate the clinical benefits of Avastin (bevacizumab) in combination with paclitaxel in first-line treatment in patients with metastatic breast cancer. Patients with metastatic breast cancer who have started Avastin treatment within 6 months prior to study start will also be eligible. Data will be collected from patients for up to 5 years.
Success of cancer immunotherapy is limited by the ability of solid tumors to evade local and systemic antitumoral immune responses. Several mechanisms of tumor immune evasion have been identified, including low intratumor expression of antigens and elevated expression of inhibitory co-regulatory molecules. An effective immunotherapy is one which would induce necrotic cell death and accompanying proinflammatory cytokine induction. Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) or Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) or brachytherapy, which is capable of delivering high, conformal radiation doses (>8 Gy) of tumor ablative radiation may be an effective means of conditioning a tumor bed to a state favorable to the initiation of robust antitumoral immune responses.
This phase II trial studies how well Akt inhibitor MK-2206 (MK-2206) and anastrozole with or without goserelin acetate works in treating patients with stage II-III breast cancer. MK-2206 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Estrogen can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using anastrozole and goserelin acetate may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Giving MK-2206, anastrozole, and goserelin acetate together may kill more tumor cells.
This non-interventional study will assess the occurrence rate of non-small cell lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, gastric cancer and malignant melanoma in Turkey, and the diagnostic methods and treatments used. Data will be collected over 36 months.
The purpose of this study is to compare two types of groups for breast cancer survivors: a Meaning-Centered Group and a Discussion Group. Many breast cancer survivors seek help to deal with the emotional burden of having gone through the cancer experience. Participation in groups offering support often helps cancer survivors cope with stressors of life after having had cancer by giving them a place to express their feelings. The "Meaning-Centered Group" is intended to teach breast cancer survivors how to maintain or even increase a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives after treatment for cancer. The "Discussion Group" is intended to help breast cancer survivors cope by giving them a place to get support from other breast cancer survivors. The goal of this study is to compare the benefits of these two types of group approaches for breast cancer survivors. The study is also testing the benefits and feasibility of conducting the groups virtually using a telephone and computer.
The goal of the study is to compare the radiologist confidence level in evaluating patients with known breast lesions using a carbon nanotube x-ray based stationary breast tomosynthesis imaging device. The comparison will be made against conventional mammography acquired as a part of a standard clinical workup. One hundred patients who are to have a clinical surgical breast biopsy will be recruited for the study. A reader study will be performed to evaluate the ROC characteristics of the system.
