sCANsens: Identifying Biomarkers for Chronic Pain After Breast Cancer Treatment
Up to 40% of women experience chronic pain after treatment for breast cancer, and this pain is often very disabling. However, chronic pain after breast cancer remains under-recognised and undertreated. An effective and patient-tailored approach of (chronic) pain after breast cancer indeed requires a thorough knowledge and evaluation of the pain. In daily clinical practice, however, guidelines for a comprehensive diagnosis of pain in cancer patients and survivors are lacking. Further research in this topic is crucial for an efficient, preventive as well as curative, approach of pain after breast cancer. Besides the high prevalence and the important impact of pain in this population, the breast cancer population is also an ideal population to study chronic pain and its natural time course in different stages, since most patients start pain-free, but almost half of them end up with chronic pain. Therefore, this study aims to map biomarkers (both predictive, prognostic and diagnostic) for chronic pain after breast cancer treatment. We will study possible biopsychosocial biomarkers in relation to (chronic) pain and monitor their temporal changes from the moment of diagnosis until 1 year after surgery. The potential biomarkers are situated within the medical imaging of the brain, measurements of pain sensitivity and psychological variables.

COOL-IT: Cryoablation vs Lumpectomy in T1 Breast Cancers: A Randomized Controlled Trial With Safety Lead-in
This trial studies the efficacy and safety of cryoablation in patients with low risk, early stage breast cancer. Cryoablation is a method of killing a tumor by freezing it. The standard approach for patients with this kind of cancer is a lumpectomy. This study will review the safety of the cryoablation procedure initially, followed by comparing cryoablation to lumpectomy in order to see if the cryoablation results in better disease control, complication rates, and quality of life.

Protection of Cardiovascular Function With Crocin in BrEast Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy
The potential cardiovascular toxicity of tumor treatment and its resulting cardiovascular events have gradually become an important health risk for tumor survivors. Prevention and early identification of cardiovascular toxicity has now become one of the bottlenecks in improving the prognosis of cancer patients. Compared to conventional echocardiographic indicators, new ultrasound technology based on speckle tracking imaging (STI) has shown superiority in the diagnosis, risk stratification and prognosis evaluation of cardiovascular diseases. Crocin, one of the main active components of saffron, has been found protective effect on cardiovascular toxicity in basic studies. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single-center clinical study to observe the effect of crocin on cardiovascular function caused by breast cancer treatment. One hundred and twenty breast cancer patients planning to undergo radiotherapy or chemotherapy will be included and randomly divided into a crocin group and a placebo group to observe the effect of total saffron tablets on cardiovascular function in patients with early breast cancer radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Participants will take crocin or placebo (4 tablets/time, 3 times a day) during each cycle of chemotherapy for 8 days, started on the 1st day before radiotherapy/chemotherapy. Follow-up was performed every 3 months after enrollment, and the follow-up period was 6 months. Primary study endpoints include the differences between groups in the difference in LVEF and GLS measured by echocardiography at the end of the experiment compared to baseline. Secondary study endpoint include the differences in the incidence rates of serum troponin exceeding the upper limit of normal value and NT-proBNP higher than the normal age reference value, the frequency and duration of chest tightness, chest pain and palpitation, the degree of arrhythmia and ST-T changes displayed by dynamic electrocardiogram, the other echocardiographic parameters (the E/e', global circumferential strain, global radial strain, 3D-GAS, LV torsion, LV rotation/derotation velocity, SDI, RVFWS, and indexes of left ventricular diastolic function and right ventricular function) at the end of the experiment compared to baseline between the two groups.

DIRECT-2: Fasting Mimicking Diet Program to ImpRovE ChemoTherapy in HR+, HER2- Breast Cancer
In preclinical research, short-term fasting (STF) protects tumor-bearing mice against the toxic effects of chemotherapy, improves the CD8+ effector T-cell intratumor infiltration, while enhancing the chemotherapy efficacy. Short-term use of a "fasting-mimicking diet" (FMD) caused a major increase in the efficacy of cancer treatment in mice comparable to STF. In humans, the investigators recently performed a multicenter randomized phase II trial showing that patients with Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and FMD displayed a better radiological response and a better pathological response (90-100% vs <90% tumor cell reduction) than patients treated with chemotherapy without FMD (de Groot, Nat Commun 2020; NCT02126449). Therefore these findings will be validated in a phase 3 trial with the underlying hypothesis that FMD during neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer improves clinical outcomes, potentially due to improved local immunity.

CYP2D6 Genotypes and Breast Cancer Clinical Outcomes in the Indonesian Population (Pengaruh Genotipe CYP2D6 Terhadap Efektivitas Penggunaan Tamoksifen Untuk Pasien Kanker Payudara ER+ Pada Populasi Indonesia)
The utilization of tamoxifen is considerably high in Indonesia, with about 170,000 tamoxifen prescriptions filed in 2015. It is metabolized by the enzyme CYP2D6, resulting in its active metabolite, endoxifen, which has been proven to be effective in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Studies showed the CYP2D6 gene has more than 100 variants; some of which are linked with reduced drug activity, while others do not have any pathological implications. The metabolizer profile of these variants is generally grouped into Ultra-rapid, Normal, Intermediate, and Poor Metabolizers (UM, NM, IM, and PM, respectively). In our previous study (NCT04312347), the investigators recruited 150 breast cancer patients who were taking adjusted dose of tamoxifen daily based on their CYP2D6 phenotype. Although the investigators have measured the endoxifen level of the patients with adjusted treatment, the clinical outcomes of the study are not yet conclusive.
