Filter by:This is a Phase II trial to assess feasibility of pembrolizumab + INBRX-106 as a chemotherapy-sparing neoadjuvant therapy. One therapeutic arm is being evaluated to provide an informal comparison of pharmacodynamic and clinical effects of concurrent dosing schedule.
Prospective multicenter study evaluating the prediction of histological response after neoadjuvant pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy by pre-treatment 68Ga-FAPI-46 PET/CT imaging in patients with early-stage high-risk TNBC.
The goal of the InPerson study is to employ all resources in a digital listening platform to benefit the quality of life of patients (QoL) with advanced HER2-negative breast cancer. The care pathway of patients with this type of disease represents an optimal setting for the implementation of an innovative narrative medicine pathway that, aided by integrative therapies, aims to support and accompain them in their treatment journey with a continuum of care. Moreover, the narrative medicine platform will implement the actual "static" way to define QoL with the classic Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) questionnaires, that reflect the patient status at a certain time point and not as a dinamic entity. It is on the basis of these assumptions that the present application project on the use of the DNMLAB digital narrative diary in the oncology department of the Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli was born.
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.
The treatment of breast cancer as well as the disease are responsible for genito-urinary symptoms that can persist over time and impair quality of life. Given the improved prognosis of breast cancer, more and more patients are confronted with specific post-cancer issues, and the care has become a major health challenge. Sexual health is a crucial component of well-being and overall quality of life. Vaginal dryness and dyspareunia are symptoms frequently found in patients treated for breast cancer, with chemotherapy and hormone therapy as risk factors. However, the treatment of sexual disorders remains underdeveloped in France. Vaginal dryness is part of a broader syndrome known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), or vulvovaginal atrophy, which may combine vulvovaginal (dryness, irritation, burning), sexual (dyspareunia) and urinary (infections, pollakiuria, urgency) symptoms secondary to hypoestrogenemia, exacerbated by breast cancer treatments. Since hormonal treatments are contraindicated, the first-line treatment for GSM in patients treated for breast cancer is the application of non-hormonal trophic treatments (regular vaginal moisturizers, lubricants during intercourse). However, these treatments are often insufficient to provide effective relief. There is therefore growing interest in the development of second-line treatments for GSM : intra-vaginal hyaluronic acid injections, laser, photobiomodulation (PBM), etc. PBM using Light Emitting Diodes (LED) has been proposed as an alternative treatment for genitourinary syndrome of the menopause. The tissues are exposed to light sources in the visible spectrum, inducing non-thermal, non-cytotoxic biological effects that improve vaginal tissue trophicity. A study is planned to evaluate the use of photobiomodulation in 2nd-line treatment of GSM (after 1st-line treatment with vaginal moisturizers) and on the quality of sexual life of patients treated for breast cancer at any stage of treatment.
The goal of this multicentric prospective study is to evaluate the incidence of Breast Cancer in transgender and gender-diverse population.
In the case of a pre-operative diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), sentinel lymph node biopsy is generally not indicated whereas it is considered standard clinical practice for patients with clinical stage I-II infiltrating breast cancer who have clinically negative axillary lymph nodes or clinically suspicious lymph nodes with negative needle aspiration findings. It is not uncommon that, in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ at preoperative diagnosis, there may be an upgrade on definitive histological examination due to the identification of foci of infiltration (about one-fifth of cases), requiring axillary lymph node biopsy in a second surgery. Prospective studies have shown that the sentinel lymph node identification rate after recent breast-conserving surgery is suboptimal. With regard to the false negative rate (FNR), several studies demonstrated that it could be associated with different techniques used for lymph node identification. Lymph node biopsy by Indocyanine green (ICG) is capable of identifying the sentinel lymph node, however, there are no data in literature on the permanence of ICG in the lymph node system. The knowledge of this data would allow the application of this method, already considered safe for the identification of the sentinel lymph node at the time of breast surgery, also in those situations in which the sentinel lymph node biopsy is postponed due to the upgrade of definitive histological diagnosis from carcinoma in situ to infiltrating/micro-infiltrating carcinoma.The main objective of this trial is to evaluate the permanence of fluorescence at the level of axillary lymph nodes 3 weeks after subcutaneous injection in patients who are candidates to radical axillary surgery. Marking the sentinel lymph node before breast surgery in cases of DCIS with risk factors could reduce the false negative rate, allowing to increase the accuracy of the procedure in identifying the lymph node potentially involved by metastatic infiltration. In addition, the identification of the sentinel lymph node in patients who are candidates to radical axillary surgery, could increase the sensitivity of the surgery in staging axillary disease and could make the lymph node exeresis more targeted, reducing the morbidity of the surgery resulting in a better outcome for the patient.
This phase 1, single-center, open-label study explores the safety of escalating doses of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) cells in subjects with relapsed/refractory triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).
The study aims to investigate the effect of anti-estrogenic therapy in breast cancer patients on neural reward processing, psychosexual health, and quality of life, in reproductive vs. menopausal women. The investigators are directly comparing four groups 1) premenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer receiving anti-estrogenic therapy, 2) postmenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer with and without previous hormonal replacement therapy, receiving anti-estrogenic therapy, 3) premenopausal healthy women, and 4) postmenopausal healthy women. Furthermore, via assessment and integration of various data including subjective/self-report data via questionnaires and a standardized interview, physiological/endocrine (via blood sample), psychological and neural data (including anatomical scans, Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), resting state, and a reward processing paradigm), this project will shed light on the connection between the brain, anti-estrogenic therapy, and psychosexual health.
The present study will assess real-world clinical outcomes, adverse events and economics from treatment with endocrine therapy(ET) combined with abemaciclib in patients with hormone receptor-positive(HR+) breast cancer.
