The ANTARES study is a phase II basket trial designed to evaluate the tissue-agnostic efficacy of the monoclonal anti-PD1 antibody, nivolumab, in patients with advanced or metastatic rare tumors. The study aims to treat rare malignancies with PD-L1 expression (CPS ≥ 10), regardless of the tumor's tissue type or location. Patients who have not responded to standard treatments will be included, and treatment will last for up to 12 months. The study will assess objective response, progression-free survival, and biomarkers such as PD-L1, ctDNA, and microvesicles, in a multicenter collaborative effort to provide innovative therapeutic options for this underrepresented population
A multicentre prospective cohort study will monitor the efficacy and safety of Autologous Fat Transfer (AFT) with pre-expansion. AFT will be evaluated in terms of quality of life, aesthetic result, complications, oncological safety and cost-effectiveness. It follows the BREAST trial, the randomised controlled trial comparing AFT with implant-based reconstruction. In this study, patients all receive AFT.
This randomized clinical trial compares two systemic treatments for HER2-positive breast cancer. The treatments are given either prior to breast surgery (as neoadjuvant treatment) or after breast surgery (as adjuvant treatment). In the investigational group (Group A) the study participants will receive a combination of two drugs directed at HER2 (two anti-HER2 antibodies) plus a chemotherapy agent (docetaxel) for a brief duration, and the patients allocated to the comparator group (Group B) will be treated with chemotherapy plus one anti-HER2 treatment (trastuzumab) for one year.
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of pranayama and pursed-lip breathing exercises on postoperative pain, anxiety, and vital signs in patients undergoing breast surgery. Postoperative pain and anxiety are common problems that can negatively affect recovery, physiological stability, and overall well-being. Non-pharmacological interventions such as breathing exercises may help reduce these adverse outcomes and support recovery. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a pranayama breathing exercise group, a pursed-lip breathing exercise group, or a control group receiving routine postoperative care. Breathing exercises will be performed three times daily for five minutes. Outcomes including pain, anxiety, and vital signs will be measured at baseline (pretest), postoperative day 1, and postoperative day 2. The findings of this study are expected to provide evidence on the effectiveness of breathing exercises as supportive nursing interventions in the postoperative care of breast surgery patients.
The primary objectives of this study are as follows: Phase 1 (sequential dose-escalation): to evaluate the safety and tolerability of sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG) as a single agent and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of SG in Japanese participants with advance solid tumors. Phase 2: Evaluate the safety and efficacy of SG in Japanese participants with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC), hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (mBC), and metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC).
Several studies proved that the serratus anterior plane block(SAPB) offer analgesia not inferior or as effective to opioids which is mainstay of analgesia (chai et al., 2023). In this study we will compare the analgesic effect of the serratus anterior plane block versus a new paraspinal technique block which is the midpoint transverse process to pleura (MTP) block for postoperative analgesia after modefied radical mastectomy.
This randomized Phase III study aims to show major complication rate of hypofractionation radiation therapy is not inferior, compared to conventional fractionation radiation therapy in breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy and reconstruction surgery.
For this study, the investigators propose investigation of a new imaging technique, Harmonic Motion Imaging (HMI), and the evaluation of its potential role in prediction of breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). The investigators hypothesize that changes in HMI parameters will predict response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy in early-stage breast cancer.
This clinical trial develops and studies how well mobile health (m-Health) patient navigation (PN) strategies work to improve screening and the early detection of breast cancer in women accessing primary care clinics in Kenya. Although highly curable, breast cancer kills thousands of women in developing countries yearly. Mammography (MMG) is used for the early detection of breast cancer by creating a picture of the breast using film or a computer. Despite the availability of MMG in all 47 counties in Kenya, screening remains low in eligible women. Early detection of breast cancer may also be improved through access to high quality clinical breast exams (CBE). However, primary care providers in Kenya face barriers to incorporating CBE into practice, including limited patient awareness of breast cancer screening. m-Health uses applications on mobile phones to deliver PN directly to the patients. The PN strategies in this study include digital platforms and tools to help with education, reminders, navigation, and motivation around breast cancer screening. This may improve screening and the early detection of breast cancer in women accessing primary care clinics in Kenya.
SONImage is a multicenter prospective imaging side study, in which a baseline FES-PET is added to conventional work up, in 100 patients with ER+ MBC who will receive endocrine treatment ± CDK 4/6 inhibition within the SONIA study (NCT03425838). SONImage will be executed in two Dutch centers: UMCG and Amsterdam UMC-location VUMC. The aim of the SONImage study is to (1) assess the relationship between FES/FDG-PET heterogeneity patterns at baseline and PFS for first-line endocrine treatment ± CDK 4/6 inhibition in ER+ MBC, and (2) to further improve that by developing a prediction model, within the SONIA study. This molecular imaging based multivariable prediction model may provide a unique measure of benefit of adding CDK 4/6 inhibition to first-line endocrine treatment, allowing patients and providers to weigh individual benefits and (long term) burden for optimized treatment decisions.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the safety, feasibility, histologic and immunological effects of Mitazalimab, a CD40 agonistic antibody, when administered either alone or in combination with PD-1 inhibition prior to surgical resection. The investigator hypothesizes that preoperative administration of CD40 agonist with or without PD-1 inhibitor intratumorally will demonstrate an acceptable safety profile, will not result in an unplanned delay in surgery, and will lead to increased immune activation. Subjects will receive a single intratumoral dose of CD40 agonist with or without PD-1 inhibitor 7 or more days prior to surgery and will be followed for safety, feasibility, immune, and pathologic responses.
In women with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant hormone therapy, the marked tissue hypoestrogenism induced by therapy with aromatase inhibitors and/or tamoxifen ± GnRH analogues causes a significant acceleration in bone mass loss, with a consequent increased risk of fracture from the first year of therapy. It is therefore essential to start treatment with antiresorptive drugs and calcium and vitamin D supplementation. It has been hypothesized that vitamin K and α-lactalbumin have an effect in improving the absorption of calcium and vitamin D. In addition, vitamin K promotes gamma-carboxylation of osteocalcin, causing its activation and leading to increased incorporation of hydroxyapatite into the bone, resulting in increased calcium uptake from the blood and other tissues. Studies have reported that a combination of alendronate and vitamin K2 can lead to a decrease in the ratio of uncarboxylated osteocalcin to carboxylated osteocalcin, contributing to an increase in BMD, especially in the femoral neck. α-lactalbumin is able to increase the bioaccessibility of calcium due to its ability to prevent its precipitation at the neutral pH present in the absorptive tracts of the small intestine. Furthermore, α- lactalbumin has a binding site for vitamin D3, and the complexes formed by monomers of this protein and vitamin D have shown good stability in the presence of high vitamin concentrations. Inositol is a carbohydrate structurally similar to glucose which, in its isomeric form D-chiro-inositol, acts on bone remodeling by blocking the activation of osteoclasts through inhibition of the binding of RANK-L to its receptor present on pre-osteoclasts. Our hypothesis is that the use of the combination of vitamin K, α- lactalbumin, and D-chiro-inositol should improve the intestinal absorption of calcium and vitamin D, increasing the percentage of patients able to normalize serum levels of vitamin D and urinary calcium excretion (as a parameter of adequate calcium intake). This aspect, together with the direct effect of these components on bone remodeling, could enhance the anti-resorptive effect of standard therapy with bisphosphonates, improving the quantitative and qualitative parameters of bone. Therefore, we design a prospective randomized pilot study to assess efficacy of the combination of vitamin K, α-lactalbumin, and D-chiro-inositol, comparing patients with standard therapy and patients treated with Synostea®
CATCH is an indication-specific diagnostic platform, which drives the implementation of integrative, genomic profiling for metastatic breast cancer into the clinics. The main objective of this approach is to identify biomarkers and drug targets to guide targeted therapeutic interventions. Eligible are all metastatic breast cancer patients (independent of gender), irrespective of molecular subtype. At initial diagnosis of distant metastasis or progress at disease progression, biopsy samples from a prognostic-relevant metastasis are retrieved during standard-of-care procedures for central analyses, together with blood samples. In parallel to all standard-diagnostic measures, genomic and transcriptomic profiling is conducted to infer the underlying biology of the disease and identify patients who might profit from biomarker-guided interventions in clinical trials. Samples not required for standard-of-care clinical procedures or genomic profiling are systematically collected in a dedicated bio-repository to fuel translational scientific companion programs. The continuously growing comprehensive database serves as an integrative resource for systematic, prospective multidimensional data collection (clinical records, biomaterial, genomic data). In summary, the overarching goal is to generate a precision oncology platform to i) identify clinically-actionable biomarkers and drug targets that drive genomics-guided therapies and ii) couple the observational, diagnostic registry platform to an increasing number of independent, biomarker-stratified clinical therapy trials (CATCH-GUIDE).
This study is being done to better understand how time restricted eating (eating all food in an 8 hour window) can help a person receiving chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer, stages I-IV. The aim is to find out if time restricted is feasible and acceptable to individuals starting chemotherapy for breast cancer. We will test 3 different eating window options compared to a control group for 24 weeks.
This research study is being done to implement a screening program for prediabetes, diabetes, dyslipidemia and/or hyperlipidemia, and higher risk of cardiovascular disease in breast cancer survivors. This program will also help to direct individuals with risk factors to community and institutional resources for management.
The purpose of this study is to examine how a 12-week, virtual dance program may improve pain and quality of life in participants with persistent post-surgical pain, or PPSP, following mastectomy or lumpectomy.
This prospective study evaluates whether a more detailed clinical and genetic assessment can improve the classification of individual breast cancer risk among women previously identified as having moderately increased or high breast cancer risk in the Slovenian DORA breast cancer screening programme. Women who agree to participate complete questionnaires and attend an individual genetic counseling appointment at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana. Personal breast cancer risk factors are reviewed with the assistance of a specialist, and reported family cancer history is verified using data from the Slovenian Cancer Registry. Breast cancer risk is reassessed using the S-IBIS and CanRisk models. Genetic testing is offered to participants who meet the applicable clinical criteria. The study will evaluate changes in breast cancer risk classification, compare risk estimates obtained using the S-IBIS and CanRisk models, and provide participants with individualized recommendations for breast cancer screening and follow-up according to their reassessed risk.
The purpose of this study is to provide continued supply of ruxolitinib alone, ruxolitinib plus background cancer therapy, or background cancer therapy alone to subjects from an Incyte-sponsored study of ruxolitinib that has reached its study objectives or has been terminated. This study will also provide another mechanism for reporting adverse events related to study drug safety.
The researchers doing this study think that performing scans of the brain and testing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in people with HER2-positive breast cancer may be an effective way of identifying the early onset of CNS metastases (such as brain cancer). If the researchers can identify the early onset of CNS metastases, they can immediately treat that cancer and possibly prevent it from worsening. Currently, people with breast cancer don't usually have scans of the brain or CSF testing unless they are experiencing symptoms of CNS metastases.
The purpose of the study is to test how successful the retrieval rate of the new HydroMARK Plus Breast Biopsy Site Marker in comparison to HydroMARK.
