Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether neoadjuvant radiation therapy is effective in improving local-regional control and to explore predictors of response to treatment in inoperable breast cancer patients after 2-6 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a special subtype of breast cancer that lacks the expression of ER, PR, and Her-2 proteins, accounting for 15%-20% of all breast cancers.TNBC patients do not benefit from endocrine therapy or HER-2-targeted therapy, but are sensitive to cytotoxic drug therapy.Although the survival of TNBC patients has improved significantly compared with the past, it is still the type with the worst prognosis among all subtypes of breast cancer. Methods and drugs to further improve the therapeutic effect of TNBC patients are still being explored. Camrelizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor produced by Hengrui, has been approved for the treatment of various malignant tumors including advanced lung cancer, advanced liver cancer and advanced esophageal cancer. Shows good therapeutic effect and safety. Therefore, this study intends to explore the superiority of camrelizumab on the basis of the less toxic anthracycline-free TCb regimen.In order to provide more effective and safe neoadjuvant therapy for lymph node-positive TNBC patients.
The aim of this prospective study is to investigate quality of life and oncologic outcomes in low-risk elderly breast cancer patients randomized to adjuvant therapy with accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) alone or endocrine therapy alone after lumpectomy. The study population will include women age 65 years and older with low-risk tumor characteristics (tumor size <2cm, grade 1-2, node-negative). APBI will consist of 5 fractions of radiation therapy delivered every other day to the lumpectomy cavity. Endocrine therapy will be chosen by the treating medical oncologist with an aim of 5 years duration, as tolerated by the patient. Quality of life outcomes will be measured at 1 year following lumpectomy and compared between groups. We hypothesize that the use of APBI may be superior in terms of quality of life when compared to endocrine therapy alone following lumpectomy while providing equivalent rates of disease control and overall survival. In this phase II study, we anticipate enrolling 90 women at N.C. Cancer Hospital in Chapel Hill, NC.
In this study, the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended phase II dose (RP2D), the preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and immunogenicity of BL-B01D1 will be investigated in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer and other solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to study exercise in a novel population with indolent MBC (no progression on current therapy in prior 12 months and not receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy). The study team hypothesizes that delivering virtual, supervised, progressive intensity aerobic and resistance training exercise for 16 weeks in this population will significantly improve 1) cardiorespiratory fitness, functional status, and sarcopenia (low muscle mass), all established predictors of survival, and 2) patient- reported outcomes.
This is an open label, multicenter, single arm phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ribociclib and ET in patients with locoregional recurrence of HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer.
Cardiotoxicity is one of the most significant adverse effects in breast cancer patients treated with anthracyclines (a type of chemotherapy), so we propose to determine whether acute training (i.e., 24h before each chemotherapy session) could reduce the levels of a cardiac biomarker which measures muscle damage (NT-proBNP). Given the fact NT-proBNP attenuation has been observed with one session performed 24h before the first treatment, we propose to verify these findings in each cycle of doxorubicin analyzing how each type of exercise (aerobic, strength or combined aerobic + strength) may impact on anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, since this observation may be relevant considering the feasibility and low cost this implementation would represent in clinical practice.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women in our country (2013 cancer registry report, Health Promotion Administration). MRI is a more accurate imaging modality for breast lesion diagnosis, monitoring of treatment response, and local staging than compared with mammography and ultrasound. ¹⁸ F-FDG PET was reported to be used for breast cancer diagnosis, staging, and prediction of treatment response as well. We usually interpret the aforementioned imaging modalities by qualitative methods for decision-making. Radiomics is a process involving the conversion of images to quantitative data for subsequent data mining to improve decisional making for patient care, to adjust the patient management, that is so-called precision medicine. Our study is to use semantic and agnostic features of radiomics by hybrid PET/MR for 1. The pre-operative breast cancer patients (without neoadjuvant chemotherapy before operation). 2. The patients will receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The study intends to investigate the association of PET/MR radiomics data with the probability of metastasis or risk of recurrences and survival. We will also investigate if the BD and BPE (measured on MRI) are associated with molecular subtypes, histologic grade and clinical outcome, risk of metastases, and long-term survival of breast cancer patients for the study participants.
The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a brief, nurse-led intervention to support breast cancer survivors who have delayed initiation of hormonal therapy or who have concerns about starting hormonal therapy.
This early phase I trial tests whether letrozole with simvastatin works better than letrozole alone to stop tumor cell proliferation in patients with stage I-III hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative invasive breast cancer. Letrozole and simvastatin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. The addition of simvastatin to letrozole may be more effective at stopping the growth of cancer cells than letrozole alone.
