NCT ID: NCT02779855 Active, not recruiting - Breast Cancer Clinical Trials

Talimogene Laherparepvec in Combination With Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Start date: May 2, 2017
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine if an oncolytic virus called Talimogene laherparepvec (a modified herpes simplex 1 virus that can specifically destroy cancer cells while leaving normal cells alone) injected directly into the tumor during chemotherapy prior to surgery can enhance the elimination of triple negative breast cancer tumors. The natural herpes simplex 1 virus typically causes cold sores around the mouth, but the talimogene laherparepvec version of the herpes virus has been changed to prevent it from reproducing in normal tissue. However, it can still attack and break open cancer tissue which is why it is used as a treatment for cancer. It is thought that this virus can also help recruit the participant's immune system to attack the cancer cells during their treatment and possibly destroy the tumor tissue more effectively than chemotherapy alone. This virus is already FDA approved to treat melanoma skin tumors, so investigators want to determine if this virus can achieve a similar benefit in women with triple negative breast tumors.

NCT ID: NCT01796041 Completed - Clinical trials for Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

Intraoperative Imaging of Breast Cancer With Indocyanine Green

ICG
Start date: July 2011
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and is responsible for 686,000 new cases every year. The WHO also posit that nearly 420,000 women perished from the disease in 2002. Surgery remains the best option for patients presenting with operable Stage I, II or III cancers. Breast conservation surgery has been shown to be as efficacious as mastectomy. About 60-70% of these women with operable breast cancer are breast conservation candidates. However, the need to achieve negative tumor margins often requires a second operation (re-excision) in up to 70% of the women having lumpectomy surgery. Currently, tumor margins assessment in the operating room is often assessed grossly by palpation. The ability to evaluate tumor margin using our proposed intraoperative imaging technique may provide the surgeon with an alternative, and hopefully, more sensitive method to assess tumor margins which may decrease re-excision and the morbidity associated with additional surgery, and, perhaps, lower the risk of local regional recurrence.

NCT ID: NCT01208974 Active, not recruiting - Breast Cancer Clinical Trials

Nipple-Areola Complex (NAC) Irradiation After Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy and Reconstruction

Start date: March 16, 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research study is to see if a participant's nipple and areola can be safely preserved by adding radiation to these areas after a nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction.

NCT ID: NCT00461344 Terminated - Ductal Carcinoma Clinical Trials

Docetaxel + Doxorubicin as Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Patients With Breast Cancer

Start date: July 2004
Phase: Phase 2
