Filter by:This randomized clinical trial studies the feasibility of tailored physical activity intervention that is administered using Interactive Voice Response technology and cell phones. Interactive voice response and health coach support may motivate overweight postmenopausal women to stick to their exercise regimen to reduce the risk of getting breast cancer.
The primary objective of this study was to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity potential of romosozumab following multiple subcutaneous (SC) administrations in healthy men and postmenopausal women with low bone mass.
This randomized pilot trial studies broccoli sprout extract in treating patients with breast cancer. Broccoli sprout extract contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of certain cancers. Studying samples of tissue from patients receiving broccoli sprout extract may help determine if it can enter breast tumor cells and how it affects certain biomarkers.
This research is being done to compare the physical and quality of life benefits of two different types of exercise- tai chi versus strength training- for female cancer survivors who have had chemotherapy. Each exercise- tai chi and strength training- will be compared to participants in a group that performs flexibility and relaxation exercises, which is expected to have different benefits than either tai chi or strength training.
Obesity is an epidemic and the majority of breast cancer survivors are overweight or obese. The American Cancer Society has called for weight loss treatment to be standard of care for overweight women with breast cancer. During therapy women with breast cancer often gain weight and lose lean muscle mass. Overweight breast cancer survivors are more likely to have their cancer come back. The reason why overweight breast cancer survivors are more likely to re-occur has not been well studied, but changes in how insulin works may contribute. Overweight survivors are also at risk for the other chronic diseases associated with obesity. Fortunately, weight losses of as little as 5-7% of baseline body weight can improve risk of chronic disease. An effective behaviorally-based, lifestyle intervention delivered via the internet has been developed at the University of Vermont. This successful intervention has not been tested among breast cancer survivors. Given that women tend to lose muscle mass during cancer therapy the addition of a resistance training component to the weight loss intervention may be important. Therefore the overall goal of this project is to pilot test a proven distantly- delivered behavioral weight loss intervention among overweight breast cancer survivors and to evaluate whether a resistance program results in improvements in lean body mass, while studying how both interventions change insulin sensitivity. Specifically, this project is a randomized, controlled clinical trial designed to test the effectiveness and acceptability of a 6-month behavioral weight loss intervention with and without resistance training. Participants will be randomized to one of two groups: 1) behavioral weight control treatment via the Internet; or 2) behavioral weight control treatment via the Internet plus a resistance training program. Women eligible to participate include overweight breast cancer survivors who are age 50 or older and 6-36 months past receiving chemotherapy. Assessments will be conducted at baseline and six months and will include measures of body weight, muscle mass, adherence to treatment, and insulin sensitivity.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of oral abiraterone acetate plus oral prednisone and oral abiraterone acetate plus oral prednisone plus oral exemestane, each compared with oral exemestane alone, in postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) metastatic (spreading) breast cancer that has relapsed after treatment with letrozole or anastrozole.
The objective of this study was to explore the effectiveness of Motor Control Exercise on pain, postural alignment and spinal curvatures in women with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
The purpose of this study is to determine the capability to absorb calcium as a measure of the sufficient levels of Vitamin D. Calcium absorption will be measured at baseline and after vitamin D3, by dual calcium isotope technique using stable isotopes in post menopausal women between the ages 50 and 70yrs. Subjects will have a screening visit, first and final visits. Subjects will be randomly assigned to a placebo or daily doses of vitamin D3. The specific aim of this study is to determine the level of vitamin D that will maximize the absorption of calcium and establish the relationship between the administered calcium dose and the actual absorbed calcium dose versus administered dose of Vitamin D and the serum levels of Vitamin D.
The primary objective is to investigate the pharmacokinetics of AZD1981 given in different formulations and to measure renal clearance
The purpose of this study is to monitor: - Tumor biological alterations following two weeks of neo-adjuvant statin therapy. - Effects of statins on tumor proliferation. - Functional studies on the mevalonate pathway.
