Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine if a Physical Activity Index (PAI) tool that collects measures on physical activity, strength training and sedentary behavior can be used in a clinical setting to monitor patient behavior and provide specific recommendations on how to achieve and maintain behavior goals. The tool will be used after treatment is completed in breast and colon cancer survivors and will test if physician counseling combined with patient self-monitoring improves physical activity and reduces sedentary behavior over time.
This clinical trial studies the effect of StrataXRT in preventing and treating radiation dermatitis in breast cancer or head and neck cancer patients. Radiotherapy is often associated with multiple side effects. These side effects can cause patient injury and make it difficult to complete treatment. For example, radiation dermatitis or skin damage may result in severe skin peeling and skin irritation. Depending on the location of radiation, the skin damage can cause problems and be tough to heal. This trial aims to see whether StrataXRT may help to prevent dermatitis after radiation therapy.
This clinical trial studies the effect of myofascial release in decreasing post-mastectomy pain compared to standard of care trigger point injections in patients with post-mastectomy pain syndrome. Patients who have mastectomies often experience pain that does not go away after time. This is known as post-mastectomy pain syndrome. Myofascial release is a form of physical therapy in which pressure is applied to the affected areas. Myofascial release may be an effective way of decreasing pain in patients with post-mastectomy pain syndrome without the use of medication.
In this study, the safety, tolerability and preliminary effectiveness of GNC-035 in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors will be investigated to assess the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) for MTD is not reached of GNC-035.
The standard treatment for early stage, estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer is lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy followed by 16-25 treatments of adjuvant whole-breast radiation therapy plus or minus hormone therapy. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated changes in the way breast cancer is treated in order to reduce contact between individuals, reduce spread of the novel coronavirus, and lessen the impact on health care resources. As elective surgeries are being cancelled, current pandemic guidelines recommend that patients be started on hormone treatment while waiting for surgeries to be re-instated. Only after this surgery occurs will patients receive radiation treatment, dramatically extending the time between diagnosis and end of treatment. Emergency pandemic guidelines in the UK and other countries recommend 5 fractions of pre-operative radiation therapy where appropriate. Based on previous work in the SIGNAL 1.0 and SIGNAL 2.0 clinical trials, the investigators are proposing treating patients with early stage breast cancers with one single fraction of stereotactic neoadjuvant radiation during the pre-operative waiting period. This will allow patients to complete radiation therapy upfront while reducing the number of patient visits to hospital. This will also allow investigators to evaluate the ability of single-fraction targeted radiation to induce a pathologic complete response.
This study compares the performance of automated breast ultrasonography and conventional hand-held whole breast ultrasonography when checking for response to breast cancer treatment. Breast ultrasonography is operator dependent and time-intensive. Automated breast ultrasonography scanners were developed to allow standardization of ultrasound scanning and scanning to be performed by any technologist, with or without previous ultrasound experience, without physician involvement. This study may validate the use of the automated breast ultrasonography.
This is a registry study that will be used to evaluate external beam radiation therapy methods for the accelerated treatment of breast cancer. Patients are being asked to take part in this registry because they have breast cancer and desire treatment with accelerated partial breast irradiation to be delivered by external beam methods.
This is an open label study of tucatinib in combination with either vinorelbine or gemcitabine and trastuzumab in patients with metastatic HER2+ breast cancer.
The aim is to investigate if soy isoflavones and lignans affect markers of disease progression and gene expression among breast cancer patients receiving neo-adjuvant treatment in a three arm, double-blinded, randomized placebo-controlled trial (RCT) comparing: soy isoflavone supplementation, lignan supplementation, and placebo.
This is an open-label, non-randomised, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy of neratinib in combination with SOC systemic therapy on CNS metastasis both as for secondary prevention (cohort 1), primary treatment (cohort 2) and for the treatment of LM disease (cohort 3) in subjects with HER2 positive metastatic BC. Subjects with metastatic HER2 positive breast cancer will be eligible for the trial and will be enrolled in one of the following cohorts: Cohort 1: Eligible subjects include HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer subjects treated with at least one line of systemic anti HER2 therapy and pre-treated with local approaches at least for the previous CNS event and currently progressive but locally treated CNS metastasis. Local therapy includes: stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) or/and WBRT or/and surgery. The study will measure the effect of the drug combination on the time to next CNS event(s). Cohort 2: Eligible subjects include HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer subjects treated with at least one line of systemic anti HER2 therapy or progressing less than 12 months after end of adjuvant therapy with a first diagnosis of brain metastases. The study will measure the objective CNS response in each subject. Cohort 3: Eligible subjects include HER2 positive metastatic breast cancer subjects treated with at least one line of systemic anti HER2 therapy with confirmed LM defined as the presence of malignant cells in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or combination of typical symptoms and MRI. The study will measure the effect of the drug combination on the time to CNS progression including LM progression. As per investigator's choice, eligible subjects in all cohort will receive neratinib in combination with capecitabine or with T-DM1 or with paclitaxel or with vinorelbine as per investigator's choice. Trastuzumab can be added as per investigator's choice to those regimens except for T-DM1. At screening and during the study treatment period (every 9 weeks), brain MRI for cohort 1 and cohort 2 or contrast-enhanced neuraxis brain and spine MRI for cohort 3 and tumour assessment by thoracic and abdomino-pelvic CT scan for all cohorts should be performed. For cohort 3 only, CSF cytological assessment should also be performed. Additionally, at screening and at each cycle during the study treatment period, subjects must fill quality of life questionnaires: EORTC core questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and brain module (QLQ-BN20).
