Filter by:The study is being conducted to evaluate the tolerability, safety and efficacy of SHR-1210 in combination with Apatinib and Fluzoparib in subjects with recurrent and metastatic triple negative breast cancer
This trial phase I studies how well fingolimod works in preventing chemotherapy-induced nerve pain (neuropathy) in patients with breast cancer who are taking paclitaxel. Fingolimod acts by suppressing immune reactions in the brain. This study is being done to see if fingolimod can reduce neuropathy caused by paclitaxel.
The aim of this study was to investigate the systemic effect of radiotherapy on patients with primary non-metastatic breast cancer using CETC and to analyze possible changes in CETC quantity under adjuvant radiotherapy.
In hormone-receptor positive breast cancer or DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ) tamoxifen remains an important treatment option for patients before menopause and those patients after menopause who cannot be treated with aromatase-inhibitors. Nonetheless, a considerable amount of patients suffer a relapse of their cancer while on treatment with tamoxifen. Tamoxifen is a drug that is metabolized to a variety of compounds by the human liver, and the most important antihormonally active metabolite is called (Z)-Endoxifen. It is known that patients who have a reduced or absent activity of the drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP2D6 have lower levels of (Z)-Endoxifen. Furthermore, it has been observed that patients on tamoxifen therapy who have absent CYP2D6 activity are at a 2-fold increased risk for disease recurrence, and patients with lower CYP2D6 compared to patients with normal CYP2D6 activity still have a 1.4-fold increased risk for disease recurrence. This trial will include patients who are already on tamoxifen therapy for at least 3 months and is designed to show that in patients with absent or low CYP2D6 activity, (Z)-Endoxifen supplementation - that is giving (Z)-Endoxifen in addition to tamoxifen for the study period of 42 days - can increase blood levels of (Z)-Endoxifen to therapeutic concentrations. It is planned to included 504 patients in this blinded, randomized trial, which will have a placebo group (receiving no (Z)-Endoxifen) and two intervention groups that will receive 0, 1.5 or 3 mg (Z)-Endoxifen depending on their CYP2D6 genetics or their (Z)-Endoxifen levels at the start of the study. The trial is not designed to evaluate outcome measures (that is recurrence or survival rates) of (Z)-Endoxifen supplementation in tamoxifen treated patients, but will document the safety of the combined administration of tamoxifen and (Z)-Endoxifen.
The objective of the proposed study is to evaluate an Intimacy Enhancement (IE) intervention in 120 female early stage breast cancer survivors reporting sexual concerns and their intimate partners. Couples will be randomized 1:1 to receive either the IE intervention or to an information and support condition (Living Healthy Together). The investigators will evaluate intervention effects on patient and partner sexual, relationship, and psychological outcomes.
This pilot trial studies how well contrast enhanced mammography works in diagnosing patients with suspicious breast findings. Diagnostic procedures, such as contrast enhanced mammography, may help to reclassify findings seen on diagnostic mammography and ultrasound as benign or likely benign with what would otherwise require biopsy for confirmation.
This single arm therapeutic exploratory study of digoxin in patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer investigates whether cardiac glycosides are able to disrupt CTC clusters in breast cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to retrospectively collect and analyse the characteristics of breast cancer patients with bone metastasis, and compare the impact of intensive follow-up with standard post-operative surveillance on survival of Chinese breast cancer patients.
Radiodermatitis (RD), an inflammatory skin reaction, occurs in more than 90 percent of cancer patients treated with radiotherapy (RT). This is the result of the radiation causing damage to the epidermal basal skin stem cells. Based on the severity of the skin symptoms, acute RD can be categorized into four grades ranging from red and dry skin to moist desquamation, necrosis, and eventually ulceration. Acute RD can be distressing, negatively influencing the patients' quality of life (QOL). In cases of severe RD, RT might be interrupted, affecting the treatment outcome. Currently, there is no generally accepted treatment available for RD. As such, the standard skincare treatment is hospital dependent. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) can offer a solution, since the therapeutic use of (infra)red light induces photochemical reactions in the target cells, stimulating repair and healing processes, and reducing pain and inflammation. Previous studies using PBMT to prevent RD showed promising results. However, these beneficial results need to be validated in a larger breast cancer patient population receiving an alternative RT regimen. The study hypothesizes that PBMT is a safe and effective strategy to prevent worsening of acute RD grade two or higher in breast cancer patients undergoing RT. The primary objective is to measure the degree of acute RD to detect changes during and after RT. Second, the patients' QOL and pain will be assessed. Finally, the third objective is to evaluate the safety of PBMT. The results of this project will support the implementation of PBMT into the standard RD skincare program.
