Filter by:This is a prospective and observational study, aiming to determine the detection rate and change of CtDNA in blood samples of cancer patients before, during and after neoadjuvant treatment. - Determine the rate of ctDNA positivity at the time before treatment, - Determine the rate of ctDNA positivity at the time during treatment, - Determine the rate of ctDNA positivity at the time after neoadjuvant therapy, whether there is a change in ctDNA expression of the study population during treatment. And aiming to investigate the relationship between ctDNA expression and MRI imaging with pCR response in neo-adjuvant therapy: - Correlation between ctDNA detection and pCR response. Determine the percentage of Positive Prediction Value - PPV, Negative Prediction Value - NPV of ctDNA, - Correlation between MRI imaging and pCR response. Determination of PPV, NPV of MRI - Combination of ctDNA detection and MRI imaging in the prognosis of pCR. Determination of PPV, NPV ratio of ctDNA combined with MRI.
The purpose of this research is to test whether participating in either a physical activity intervention or a series of educational classes will help to preserve exercise capability, heart function, brain-based activities (like memory), and quality of life. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 pathways: - First pathway consists of organized health workshops. These workshops are intended to provide information on topics such as proper nutrition, management of stress, sleep practices, and emphasis on a healthy lifestyle that may help the participants through cancer treatment. This pathway will also test whether stretching may help participants through cancer treatment. - Second pathway participants will take part in some unsupervised and some potentially supervised moderate activity sessions each week throughout participants' cancer treatment to take place either remotely or in person, depending on availability of facilities at the time visits are scheduled.
This research is being done to assess whether an exercise intervention with protein intake support vs a health education and support program will make it easier for women age 65 or older who are receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer to receive all of their planned chemotherapy according to schedule and at the planned dose.
This is an international, multi-center, randomised, open label, superiority phase III trial of elacestrant vs standard endocrine therapy in patients with ER+/HER2- breast cancer and ctDNA relapse. During the ctDNA screening phase, patients will be tested at different timepoints to detect the presence of ctDNA in their blood. Patients who are found to be ctDNA-positive and have no evidence of distant metastasis, will be randomised 1:1 between standard endocrine treatment (the same they were receiving when tested ctDNA positive) versus elacestrant, provided they meet all eligibility criteria. After completion of the protocol treatment period, treatment will be left at the discretion of the treating physician.
This clinical trial implements a communication intervention to improve patient-oncologist communication in the outpatient medical oncology setting. A communication brochure called the ASQ brochure may help patients prepare for the doctor visit by thinking through the questions that patients and patients' family want to ask the doctor.
The primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from varying cancers and biopsy formats.
Researchers think that exercise may be able to prevent cancer from coming back by lowering ctDNA levels. The purpose of this study is to explore how aerobic exercise (exercise that stimulates and strengthens the heart and lungs and improves the body's use of oxygen) can reduce the level of ctDNA found in the blood. During the study, the highest level of exercise that is practical, is safe, and has positive effects on the body that may prevent the return of cancer (including a decrease in ctDNA levels) will be found. Each level of exercise tested will be a certain number of minutes each week. Once the best level of exercise is found, it will be tested further in a new group of participants. All participants in this study will have been previously treated for breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer.
This research study involves pre-operative therapy that is specifically targeted for breast cancer in individuals with BRCA and PALB2 mutations. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Niraparib (Zejula) - Dostarlimab
This phase II trial investigates how well trastuzumab deruxtecan works alone or in combination with anastrozole in treating patients with HER2 low, hormone receptor positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 expressed at low levels on cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers deruxtecan to kill them. Anastrozole works by decreasing estrogen production and suppressing the growth of tumors that need estrogen to grow. This study is evaluating how effective trastuzumab deruxtecan is at treating hormone receptor positive cancer cells that have low levels of HER2 expressed on them when given alone or in combination with anastrozole.
The purpose of this study is to determine how well participants with stage II-III HER2-positive breast cancer respond to pre-operative treatment using one of two different combinations of drugs. Drugs and Combinations used: - Paclitaxel, Pertzumab and Margetuximab (Margenza) - Paclitaxel, Pertzumab and Trastuzumab (Herceptin)
