Filter by:The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of durvalumab that can be tolerated without causing very severe side effects when receiving standard treatment and to see what effects the study drug has on this type of cancer. The researchers doing this study are also interested in looking for markers that will help predict which patients are most likely to be helped by durvalumab when receiving standard treatment and what effects durvalumab has on this type of cancer.
Sixty advanced breast cancer patients are planed to enrolled in this clinical trial. Forty patients are enrolled into thalidomide plus chemotherapy group. Twenty patients are enrolled into chemotherapy alone group. There is no restriction on chemotherapy regimen and lines.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study to evaluate the safety profile and ability of TW1025 oral solution to decrease fatigue in HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
Despite the clear benefit of a combination therapy of pertuzumab plus trastuzumab plus docetaxel when compared with a combination therapy of trastuzumab and docetaxel the study populations of the CLEOPATRA trial might be slightly different from a patient population, in which pertuzumab, plus trastuzumab plus chemotherapy or trastuzumab plus chemotherapy are applied in routine clinical practice. This non-interventional approach aims to confirm the clinically relevant outcomes shown in the phase III CLEOPATRA study in patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer in routine practice. Docetaxel is recommended as chemotherapy, however, any treatment choice or change in regimen is performed at the discretion of the treating physician. Data on efficacy, safety, tolerability and quality of life will be documented for this purpose. Following the recommendations as laid down in guidelines for treatment of breast cancer, the quality of life of patients will be assessed on a regular basis.
Despite treatment improvements in breast cancer, a large number of patients still progress to the metastatic stage. Metastatic breast cancer patients have an extremely unfavorable prognosis. Not only efficacy, but also quality of life are in the focus when planning a therapy or therapy sequence for metastatic breast cancer patients. Therapy options include anti-hormonal Therapy, antibody therapies, other targeted therapies and chemotherapies. One of the most effective chemotherapies in the adjuadjuvant and metastatic setting is paclitaxel. However drug handling and its side effects can compromise patients quality of life and can have an impact on the pharmacokinetics of the drug. In metastatic breast cancer patients increasing therapy efficacy and reduction of side effect frequency are considered to be advancements of therapy. One of these advancements is the development of a cremophor free and albumin bound paclitaxel, nab-Paclitaxel (Abraxane), which is thought to have a better efficacy and reduced toxicity profile. Nab-Paclitaxel is approved for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer after a failure of first-line therapy and when antracyclines are not indicated. The SERAPHINA study aims to investigate in the use of nab-Paclitaxel in daily routine and the frequency and perception of side effects. As a non-interventional study, the SERAPHINA Study will assess the patient characteristics and describe the patient cohort, in which nab-Paclitaxel is given. This includes age distribution and characteristics documented by the patients themselves.
This is a non-randomized phase 1 trial designed to determine the MTD and evaluate the safety and tolerability of ACY-1215 with nab-paclitaxel. Based on the activity profile of ACY-1215 in breast cancer, corresponding biomarker availability with the HDAC6 MR score, and its potential synergy with taxanes, these data support the rationale for testing the ability of ACY-1215 to improve the response rate for patients with metastatic breast cancer in combination with standard taxane chemotherapy.
This is a randomized trial for patients with metastatic hormone receptor (HR)-positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer who have progressed on an aromatase inhibitor plus a CDK4/6 inhibitor (either palbociclib or ribociclib) to either fulvestrant alone or fulvestrant with ribociclib (LEE-011). The purpose of the trial is to determine whether there is continued benefit for patients to remain on a CDK4/6 inhibitor at the time of switching anti-estrogen therapy. As ribociclib and palbociclib have a similar toxicity and drug profile and mechanism of action, we feel that it is appropriate for patients to receive either drug with an aromatase inhibitor prior to randomization.
Characterization of the driver mutations in an individual metastatic breast cancer patient is critical for many reasons. Effective targeted therapies require identifying genomic alterations in the tumoral tissue. The scarce efficacy of many currently available targeted drugs may be due to the outbreak of resistant clones with different genotype that already present at the initiation of therapy. It is well known the intra-tumor heterogeneity with genetic and non-genetic factors considered as the origin of the tumor cell-clon composition. The acquisition of multiple mutations (driver and passenger), altogether with the stage of differentiation, according to the cancer stem cell hypothesis, confers to the tumor cells clinically important properties, such as resistance to therapies and seeding abilities. Moreover, there is a current challenge in establishing whether the metastatic cells arise from the most aggressive and dominant clone in the primary tumor or the metastasic tissue diverges with substantial genetic changes very early in the evolution of the disease. Primary and metastatic tumor may have a close clonal relationship or evolve in parallel and acquire different genomic alterations. In the real life, it is plausible that both models coexist with different predominance according to the tumoral tissue and etiology. The study hypothesizes that breast cancer metastases and primary tumors could harbor different genomic profiles related to genomic regions of interest in a clinically relevant proportion of metastatic breast cancer patients. Moreover, the genomic aberrations found in the metastatic breast cancer tissue could also be detected in CTCs and circulating free DNA. If true, CTCs and circulating free DNA would be convenient, non-invasive, easily accessible sources of genomic material for the analysis of mutations and other genomic aberrations.
This non-interventional study aims at assessing the impact of nab-paclitaxel on the clinical outcomes and the health-related QoL (HRQoL) of this heavily burdened and difficult-to-treat population. Notably, the data generated in the context of this study will serve as complementary evidence to that of the tightly and strictly controlled pre-registration clinical trial setting, which is of essential importance especially in patient populations with diseases of complex and heterogeneous biology, such as breast cancer.
This phase 2 clinical trial will evaluate the efficacy of the combination of pemetrexed and sorafenib in patients with recurrent or metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). Candidate pharmacodynamic and predictive biomarkers will also be evaluated.
