Filter by:The HER2 status in breast cancer patients may change during the course of the disease. In 30% of initially HER2-negative patients with circulating tumor cells (CTC), HER2-positive CTCs can be detected in peripheral blood samples(1). At present, it is unclear if therapy based on the HER2 status of CTC offers a clinical benefit for these patients. The DETECT III - trial compares lapatinib, as HER2-targeted therapy in combination with standard therapy versus standard therapy alone in those patients, with initially HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer and HER2-positive circulating tumor cells. As one of the first interventional trials based on the assessment of CTC phenotypes, the DETECT III - trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of HER2-targeted therapy in patients with MBC and HER2-positive CTCs as well as the significance of CTC as an early predictive marker for treatment response.
The investigators' primary aim is to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (within 50 - 200mg/BID dose range) when combining veliparib and radiation. The investigators' exploratory aim is to serially assess apoptosis/proliferation biomarkers, and gene and protein expression profiles for correlation with tumor response to POPI. Study Plan: It will be a standard 3+3 dose finding trial in which the MTD will be defined as the dose below the level at which >1 DLT is observed in 3-6 patients. Women with node positive disease prior to NAC and >1.0 cm residual breast disease and/or clinically positive nodal disease after NAC will be offered participation in the research phase of this study. Women with residual disease >1cm or +/-LN after NAC (Med Onc's choice) will be offered pre-operative Veliparib and concurrent whole breast and regional nodal irradiation. Four (4) dose levels of Veliparib will be evaluated with concurrent whole breast and regional nodal irradiation (WB/RNI). The starting dose of Veliparib will be 50 mg BID, will increase in 50 mg increments to a maximum of 200 mg BID and be delivered concurrently with 235 cGy QD x 16 to the breast and SCV/Axilla. Accrual: Up to 41 patients
This is a prospective study that will assess the impact of MammaPrint on chemotherapy + endocrine versus endocrine alone treatment decisions in patients with an Oncotype Intermediate Score.
To assess whether adding LCL161 to weekly paclitaxel enhances the efficacy of paclitaxel in women with triple negative breast cancer whose tumors are positive for a defined pattern of gene expression
The primary efficacy analysis will be the clinical benefit at 6 months as measured by a modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors RECIST classification. Key secondary endpoints of objective response rate, progression free survival, time to progression, duration of response, effects on physical function, and effects on tumor progression in women with Androgen Receptor positive breast cancer will also be assessed.
This multi-center, prospective observational study will evaluate the treatment patterns, and the safety in patients with HER2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Eligible patients will have an initial metastatic breast cancer diagnosis that has not been previously treated with systemic therapy; patients may be enrolled up to 6 months after the diagnosis. Data will be collected for up to 8 years.
Breast cancer affect around 52 000 women in France each year. Amongst them, 7% are less than 40 years old and 2% are in between 25 and 35 years old. Significant therapeutic advances have improved the prognostic of these patients. They will all most likely to received chemotherapy. Despite the fact that chemotherapy has many side effects, these women do question the impact of the treatment on their ability to procreate. On 06/08/04 law basis, each patient is allowed to preserve gametes or germinal tissues when medical care potentially affect fertility. Functional evaluation of ovarian reserve could help comprehend new chemotherapy protocols, provide fertility information, and help individualize fertility preservation supports. Principal objective is to ensure the absence of ovarian stimulation's side effects and assess chemotherapy effects on child carrying potential.
The study goal is to develop a new method of intraoperative lymphatic mapping with fluorescent contrast agents to improve the outcome of therapeutic breast cancer surgery.
This is a phase II, prospective, multi-center, open-label, non-randomized, controlled study. The objective of this study is to prospectively verify the relation of efficacy of neoadjuvant hormonal therapy, and preliminarily explore the clinical value of complementary adjuvant chemotherapy to predict poor prognosis malignant breast cancer after neoadjuvant endocrinotherapy.
The aim was to assess the patient compliance and medical and psychosocial effects of same day hospital discharge after breast conserving surgery and sentinel node biopsy only.
