Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies interactive gentle yoga in improving quality of life in patients with stage I-III breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Interactive gentle yoga may improve the quality of life in patients with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy.
This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy works in treating post-menopausal women with early stage breast cancer undergoing surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. This may be an effective treatment for breast cancer.
CIN2/3 have been increased for many years and mainly concern women aged 25-29 years. They are subsequent to a persistent HPV infection and are classically treated by conization. Recurrences occur in 7 to 18 % of cases, mainly after CIN3 management during the first 2 years of follow-up. Follow-up is crucial to detect and treat recurrence and to select high risk women who might develop cervical cancer. Colposcopy and cytology have been recommended since 1989 by French ANAES, but these methods have poor sensitivity and specificity. However, DNA HPV testing is more sensitive and has demonstrated a very high negative predictive value, while specificity and positive predictive value remain average. Other HPV markers like genotyping, viral load and integration begin to be used in screening but have not been investigated in CIN2/3 follow-up to assess the values of various HPV markers which predict CIN2/3 recurrence after conization. The primary objective is to describe HPV expression (genotyping, viral load, mRNA E6 and E7) at the time of conization and during the follow-up period (6, 12, 24 months) and to assess the prognostic value of HPV 16 expression (viral load, mRNA E6 and E7) to determine the risk of CIN2/3 recurrence after conization, compared to the other clinical and virological risk factors.
The use of a designed viral vector that can destroy cancer cells while leaving normal cells largely unharmed. The virus also stimulates an immunological response by producing a special factor (GM-CSF) to attract and promote the development of dendritic and T effector cells. It forms the hypothesis that this regimen may be used for people who have failed current forms of treatment and are recommended for cystectomy. It is with hope that this novel therapy will be able to delay or potentially avoid cystectomy for this patient population. Bladder instillation of this agent causes little long lasting side effects and may drastically improve the stimulation of the immune system for local cancer cell death as well as destroying those tumor cells that may have travelled to regional lymph nodes or distant organs.
This is a pilot study designed to investigate new techniques to guide the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of Ductal Carcinoma In-situ (DCIS). The microvascularity and stiffness of the lesion may be prognostic factors that can guide the need for more or less extensive therapy or perhaps only imaging follow-up may be needed.
This will be a proof of principle clinical trial to evaluate the use of pasireotide (SOM230) in women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast. Surgery and radiotherapy are used as treatment for DCIS and subsequent treatment with antiestrogens has been effective in reducing the occurrence of invasive breast cancer. Unfortunately, treatment with antiestrogens carries potential serious side effects and toxicities that are intolerable to some patients. Preliminary data suggest that inhibition of IGF-1 action in the breast will be at least as effective as tamoxifen. Pasireotide is a somatostatin analog that prevents mammary development by inhibiting IGF-1 action directly in the mammary gland and also indirectly without causing menopausal symptoms. This study is an expansion of work that we have previously done in women with atypical hyperplasia of the breast, which showed that treatment with pasireotide for 10 days caused a reduction in the cellularity of these precancerous lesions. In our present study, women with DCIS will be treated with pasireotide for 20 days prior to surgical excision. Endpoints will be as follows: 1. To determine whether pasireotide will inhibit cell proliferation and angiogenesis (signs of tumor growth), and stimulate apoptosis (cell death) in surgically excised tissue in comparison to core biopsies from women with estrogen receptor (ER) positive DCIS. Both the core biopsy and surgical excision are standard of care procedures that women with DCIS have regardless of participation in this trial. 2. To use dynamic contrast enhanced MRI to assess patients before and after treatment with pasireotide and evaluate for changes in tumor volume and other tumor related features 3. In our previous study we found that many women experienced a slight elevation in blood sugar with 10 days of treatment with pasireotide. Other work has shown that this effect often resolves with greater duration of treatment. We are therefore expanding the duration of treatment in this study to 20 days to assess if the initial hyperglycemia seen with pasireotide improves as treatment duration progresses.
This is a Phase 3b open-label, randomized, parallel-arm, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 10 monthly intravesical administrations of maintenance therapy with valrubicin following induction with valrubicin as compared to induction with valrubicin only in subjects with CIS of the bladder. The randomization will be 1:1 and subjects will be stratified by tumor type (CIS plus papillary disease vs. CIS only) and time from last bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) failure (>1 year vs. <1 year).
The purpose of this study is to investigate the non-inferiority of a topical Imiquimod therapy in patients with persistent CIN 2/3 when compared to standard therapy, i.e. conization A randomized, controlled, non-inferiority AGO-Austria trial
This is a phase 3 randomized, active-controlled, open-label, multicenter study that will be conducted in approximately 120 investigational sites worldwide. Subjects with either recurrent or refractory NMIBC (Ta high grade, T1 low or high grade, CIS) will be eligible for participation in this study. Refractory disease is defined as evidence of persistent high grade bladder cancer (Ta HG, T1, and/or CIS) at least 6 months from the start of a full induction course of BCG with or without maintenance/re-treatment at 3 months. Recurrent disease is defined as reappearance of disease after achieving a tumor-free status by 6 months following a full induction course of BCG with or without maintenance/re-treatment at 3 months. Subjects with recurrent disease must have recurred within 18 months following the last dose of BCG. Approximately 450 subjects will be randomized. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intravesical EN3348 as compared with mitomycin C in the treatment of subjects with recurrent or refractory NMIBC. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of EN3348 as compared with mitomycin C in the treatment of subjects with BCG recurrent or refractory NMIBC. This study will consist of 4 phases: Screening, Induction, Maintenance and Follow-Up and will be conducted over 3 years.
The primary objective of this study is to identify the group of women with early stage breast cancer most likely to benefit from treatment with the selective progesterone receptor modulator (SPRM) mifepristone. This will be done by treating women briefly prior to planned surgery and examining the decrease in growth rate (measured by Ki-67 immunohistochemistry) in tumor samples taken before and after exposure to mifepristone.
