Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the efficacy and safety of short-term sintilimab in combination with taxane and carboplatin for neoadjuvant therapy in female early-stage triple-negative breast caner patients aging from 18 to 70 years with unilateral and invasive primary lesions above 1cm. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does short-term sintilimab in combination with taxane and carboplatin lead to acceptible pathological complete response (pCR) rates, objective response rates (ORR), event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS)? 2. Does short-term sintilimab in combination with taxane and carboplatin lead to less adverse events than regular-term ICIs reported in literature? Participants will be given 2 cycles of sintilimab, in combination with 4 cycles of taxane and carboplatin before surgery. An optional core-needle biopsy is performed after completing 2 cycles of sintilimab. All participants will be given regular follow-up post surgery according to ASCO guidelines.
Chemotherapy is one of the most common treatments for breast cancer, but the adverse effects can be severe enough to delay or make chemotherapy intolerable, thus affecting the efficacy of the disease. Women and younger patients are more likely to experience chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) . Therefore, antiemetic drugs is a key way to reduce chemotherapy side effects, which ensures compliance, and maintain quality of life. CINV is usually induced by two pathways. The central pathway is mediated by neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptors, where chemotherapeutic agents stimulate the secretion of substance-P (SP) from the vomiting center located in the medulla oblongata and nucleus accumbens, which binds to NK-1 receptors and induces vomiting. The peripheral pathway is mediated by 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptors, and chemotherapy stimulates intestinal chromophores in the gastrointestinal mucosa to secrete 5-HT3, which binds to its receptors to induce vomiting. Most guidelines currently recommend the combination of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, NK-1 receptor antagonists, and dexamethasone for high-emetogenic-risk chemotherapy regimens. Usually 5-HT3 receptor antagonists include granisetron, ondansetron, and palonosetron. Palonosetron is a second-generation 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with stronger affinity and higher efficacy than other antagonists. The commonly used NK-1 receptor antagonists are aprepitant and fosaprepitant. Fosaprepitant is an aprepitant prodrug that can be rapidly converted to aprepitant in the body, blocking the binding of substance P to NK-1 receptors for antiemetic purposes. Clinical trial has confirmed that the overall complete response (CR) rate of palonosetron 0.75 mg combined with fosaprepitant and dexamethasone was 54.9%, with 75.9% CR in the acute phase (0-24 h after chemotherapy) and 62.3% in the delayed phase (24-72 h after chemotherapy). Another clinical trial showed an acute phase CR of 89.8% and a delayed phase CR of 90.4% for oral aprepitant combined with intravenous palonosetron 0.75 mg and dexamethasone. The data suggests that both oral and intravenous administration are effective in preventing CINV, but there are no clinical trial results for oral versus intravenous administration. Oral administration is painless, has fewer side effects, and is a safer mode of administration, but bioavailability is different and drug absorption is affected by a variety of factors; whereas intravenous injection has rapid onset of action, but there are risks of injection reactions, phlebitis, and infection. Therefore, we hope to conduct a non-inferiority study on the efficacy of oral and intravenous 5-HT3 receptor antagonists combined with NK-1 receptor antagonists through this trial, which can provide more options for patients by combining the cost and administration methods.
This is an open label, phase III study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Pyrotinib in Combination With Trastuzumab and paclitaxel in patients HER2 Positive and lymph node negative invasive Breast Cancer
This is a randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter, phase ะจ clinical study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of KN026 in combination with HB1801 to trastuzumab in combination with pertuzumab and docetaxel in the first-line treatment of subjects with HER2-positive recurrent or metastatic breast cancer. The statistical assumption for this study is superiority. The primary study endpoint was PFS as assessed by Blinded Independ Review Committee (BIRC).
Patients with suspected breast cancer undergoing PET/CT at our hospital. The PET/CT center's chief physician and senior attending physician reviewed the films together and disagreement, if any, was resolved by consensus. The lesion was visually identified. A 3D region of interest(ROI) of the lesion was automatically outlined using the 40% threshold method, and PET metabolic parameters were measured . Breast lesions with radionuclide concentrations greater than those in normal breast tissue are considered to be breast cancer lesions, while lymph nodes with radionuclide concentrations greater than those in muscle tissue are considered to be metastatic lymph nodes. Image segmentation: Image segmentation was performed using ITK-SNAP software (4) (version 3.6.0, http://www.itksnap.org/), Brush Style: circular, Brush Size: 10, Brush Options: 3D. The entire tumor volume was outlined on the PET image as ROI for segmentation. An open source Python package (PyRadiomics version 3.0.1(5)) was used to extract the radiomics features from the ROI. Univariate and multivariate binary logistic regressions were used to construct model for predicting lymph node metastasis in breast cancer.
This study is a single arm, phase II pilot design. The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of intralesional immunotherapy (e.g. IL-2) in early stage TNBC. The overall objective of the research study is to advance our knowledge of novel immunotherapies and routes of administration for the treatment of TNBC HYPOTHESES: Neoadjuvant treatment of TNBC with intralesional IL-2 is safe and well tolerated and can produce a pathological response. Aim 1: Examine the safety and possible efficacy of a novel neoadjuvant intralesional intervention (IL-2) for patients with early-stage TNBC.
The use of regional anesthesia in breast surgery improves the postoperative outcome, reduces the development of infection, and weakens the perioperative immunosuppressive response associated with the response to surgical stress. The investigators hypothesize that the use of propofol / paravertebral anesthesia and analgesia will be accompanied by a decrease in serum proinflammatory cytokines and/or an increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines compared to propofol / PECS 2 anesthesia and analgesia. The research will be on 100 respondents divided into two groups. 0.5% levobupivacaine will be administered to both groups. Serum concentrations of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and lymphocyte subpopulations 1h before, 24h, and 48h after surgery will be measured. The investigators aim to compare the effect of propofol / paravertebral and propofol / PECS 2 anesthesia and analgesia on serum perioperative values of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines to standardize protocols and apply the best method of perioperative analgesia in breast cancer surgery.
evaluate the efficacy and safety of chidamide combined with fulvestrant for HR+ABC
The purpose of this study is to determine if the triplet combination of dalpiciclib, fulvestrant, and pyrotinib is safe and effective in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive, HER2-low locally advanced/metastatic breast cancer following treatment with an aromatase inhibitor plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib abemaciclib or ribociclib). The study will employ a Bayesian Optimal Phase II (BOP2) design which explicitly controls the type I error rate, thereby bridging the gap between Bayesian designs and frequentist designs, and has favorable operating characteristics with higher power and lower risk of incorrectly terminating the trial than some existing Bayesian phase II designs.
Summary Points: 1. High Risk Breast Cancers: Triple negative cancer is considered high risk due to high rate of local and systemic failure. Newer innovative treatment strategies are needed to improve systemic control of disease and survival. 2. Immune system modulation: is an emerging modality in cancer treatment. Tumor antigens can stimulate T cells to identify and destroy cancer cells. Cancers express "altered self" antigens that tend to induce weaker responses than the "foreign" antigens expressed by infectious agents. Thus, immune stimulants and adjuvant approaches have been explored widely. Opportunities to develop effective cancer vaccines may benefit from seminal recent advances in understanding how immunosuppressive barricades are erected by tumors to mediate immune escape. This concept is precisely applicable to triple negative breast cancer due to their antigenicity. Checkpoint inhibitors are an attractive method for treatment of high-risk breast cancers. However, to leverage the efficacy of checkpoint inhibition, approaches are needed to enhance delivery of cancer antigens to the T cells. 3. Cryoablation: offers an efficacious and safe method to enhance tumor antigen presentation to the immune cells while destroying the primary tumor. This ablation method is superior by virtue of antigen preservation in situ despite toxicity to the tumor cell. Impact of cryoablation in enhancing immunological responses in tumor microenvironment are well established; however, cryoablation can also cause tumor antigen tolerance via non-specific stimulation of T cells. 4. Rationale for combining cryoablation and checkpoint inhibitors: Since checkpoint inhibitors curtail the tolerance developed by tumor antigens, and cryoablation enhances antigen presentation and T cell recruitment, it is intuitive that combination of these two approaches presents an ideal opportunity to leverage the benefits of both approaches while curtailing the limitations of either. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize in this study that their combination will improve the response rate and the degree of response.
