Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vaccine therapy in treating patients with metastatic solid tumors. Vaccines made from antibodies and peptides combined with tumor cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) has been studied in multiple global prospective DESTINY-Breast trials and has a marketing authorization from Health Canada for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and HER2-low mBC, respectively. Multiple stakeholders, including clinicians, patients, regulators, and healthcare decision makers, are interested in real-world treatment-related outcomes in order to better represent the effectiveness of therapies in routine care settings.
HER2 gene amplification, detected in 20% to 30% of breast cancers, was a poor prognostic factor before the advent of anti-HER2 therapies. In the early 2000s, trastuzumab revolutionised the management of patients with HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer in the metastatic and localised stages of the disease. At the time of diagnosis of metastatic disease, 7-11% of patients have brain metastases, with (70% of cases) or without symptoms (30% of cases). In the absence of brain metastases, 30% to 50% of patients will develop brain metastases within the first two years of treatment, depending on whether the disease is hormone receptor positive (HR+) or negative (HR-). The presence of brain metastases is the most important prognostic factor. The neurological symptoms caused by the presence of these lesions, but also by the local treatments offered, affect patients' quality of life, although improvements in surgical and radiotherapy techniques have significantly reduced the need for particularly toxic whole brain radiotherapy. International guidelines do not recommend systematic brain MRI in the absence of neurological symptoms, either in the adjuvant or metastatic stages of this disease. However, there may be a role for more systematic and earlier screening for cerebral recurrence, as single cerebral recurrences without extracranial involvement are common and the new anti-HER2 agents (i.e. tucatinib, an anti-HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and T-Dxd) have shown significant objective response rates in cerebral metastases. To date, no clinical or histological prognostic factor (proliferation index, HR expression, etc.) has been used to identify a population of patients at high risk of cerebral relapse, allowing monitoring and treatment to be personalised. New tools for these indications would significantly modify our clinical practice, allowing the identification of a subpopulation at high risk of cerebral recurrence, suitable for increased monitoring and therapeutic adjustment.
Doctors leading this study would like to learn about providing cancer treatment/therapies to Nigerian women with breast cancer based on their human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status. This study will focus on the efficacy and safety of anti-HER2 cancer treatment before and after surgery.
This study is intended to carry out a single arm, prospective, open clinical study, and use Darsilide combined with endocrine therapy, Trastuzumab and Patuzumab to treat early or locally advanced breast cancer of TPBC before surgery. It is intended to further explore the efficacy and safety of the new adjuvant treatment for TPBC patients with step-down therapy.
DEMETHER is a phase II trial exploring the maintenance of trastuzumab and pertuzumab fixed dose combination (FDC) for subcutaneous administration (SC, PHESGO) following trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) as induction treatment for HER2-positive unresectable locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients.
The purpose of this study is to test if four different programs (prolonged overnighting fasting alone, exercise alone, a combination of prolonged overnight fasting and exercise, or general health education sessions alone) can reduce fatigue in women with advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are receiving a medication called a cyclin-dependent kinases-4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor.
This study aims to identify HER2-positive early-stage breast cancer patients who could benefit from neoadjuvant treatment using PHESGO™ (pertuzumab and trastuzumab) without chemotherapy. The approach involves utilizing specific biomarkers (HR and HER2 IHC status) to select participants whose tumors strongly rely on the HER2 pathway, potentially benefiting from a HER2-targeted approach without chemotherapy concurrently.
Trastuzumab and pertuzumab based regimen are the standard of care for patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) -positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC), significantly improving survival outcomes. However, an unmet medical need remain for patients with disease refractoriness and recurrence. Interestingly, HER2 over-expression is associated with upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Preclinical studies indicated that VEGF expression is positively regulated by HER2 signaling. In the clinical setting, HER2 over-expression correlated significantly with VEGF over- expression in samples from patients with breast cancer. There is, therefore, a biologic rationale for targeting both HER2 and VEGF pathways in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. PURPOSE: The hypothesis that justifies this research is that the addition of Thero2-01S22 as add-on therapy on top of first line anti-HER2 targeted treatment will improve the efficacy of anti-HER2 targeted containing regimen at the metastatic setting for breast cancer.
Pyrotinib is currently being investigated in both registration studies and investigator-initiated studies in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant setting for HER2-positive breast cancer, all of which are RCTs, but randomized clinical studies have selected specific populations in defined settings, which may differ from the actual clinical setting. Given the limited real-world data on pyrotinib, real-world studies focusing on neoadjuvant therapy have not been reported. At present, we hope to collect the data of neoadjuvant therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer patients who have been prescribed pyrotinib, and explore the efficacy and safety of pyrotinib-based neoadjuvant therapy for HER2-positive early or locally advanced breast cancer patients; exploratory analysis to explore the correlation between TMB levels and pCR rate of neoadjuvant therapy in HER2-positive breast cancer patients, and the effect of pyrotinib-based neoadjuvant therapy on intestinal flora.
