This is a First In Human (FIH), multicenter, open-label, Phase I/II study to evaluate safety, tolerability, Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of MT-4561 in patients with advanced solid tumors. This study will be conducted in 3 parts. Part 1 is aimed at evaluating safety, tolerability, PK and pharmacodynamics of MT-4561 and determining the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) using the Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) design. The study details and doses of Part 2 (dose-optimization) and Part 3 (Drug-Drug Interaction) will be available after review of applicable Part 1 results.
The main goal of this trial is to identify the optimal cut-off score of a Scoring System to discriminate between mild chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and no CIPN in breast cancer survivors previously treated with taxane-based chemotherapy and adjuvant radiotherapy.
This phase I trial identifies the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of BAY 1895344 in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with solid tumors or urothelial cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). BAY 1895344 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Cisplatin and gemcitabine are chemotherapy drugs that stop the growth of tumor cells by killing the cells. Combining BAY 1895344 with chemotherapy treatment (cisplatin, or cisplatin and gemcitabine) may be effective for the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including urothelial cancer.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about risks and outcomes of breast cancer in people with different backgrounds. Tissue and blood will be collected from participants for research purposes. Participants will complete questionnaires during their standard medical care. The study will not provide treatment for cancer or any other condition.
Given the compelling evidence supporting a protective effect of statins on breast cancer recurrence, calls for prospective clinical trials have been expressed. In this trial - the MASTER trial - we hypothesize that the addition of statin treatment to the current breast cancer treatment will improve the prognosis of women with early breast cancer. This trial is designed as follows: a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled comparison of standard (neo)adjuvant therapy plus placebo versus standard (neo)adjuvant therapy plus atorvastatin in patients with early breast cancer.
The aim of the study is to evaluate whether tamoxifen at a low dose of 5mg/d reduces in the long term the incidence of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ, DCIS (DIN 1c, 2, 3) of the breast, in woman operated for lobular intraepithelial neoplasia (LIN1, 2 and 3) or ER-positive ductal intraepithelial neoplasia (DIN 1b, DIN2, DIN3, 1a excluded) of the breast. To improve the risk-benefit ratio, the use of lower doses of the drug has been proposed. Biomarker trials revealed that 5 mg/d was noninferior to 20 mg/d in inhibiting proliferation of breast cancer and normal endometrial tissue. By contrast, the risk of endometrial cancer si dose-dependent, and the dose reduction can lead a substantial decrease. Morover a dose of 5 mg/day is associated with an overall decrease of the estrogenic activity of tamoxifen on insulin like growth factor (IGF-I), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and antithrombin-III, with a decrease of venous thromboembolic events. Moreover, tamoxifen exhibits a high tissue distribution, so that a dose of 5 mg/day attains at the breast tissue level a concentration 10 times higher than that needed to inhibit cell growth in vitro. A prospective cohort study also showed that 10 mg on alternate days halves recurrence of DCIS in postmenopausal women. It has been shown that the treatment of dysplasia or pre-cancer drives the reduction of the invasive neoplasms onset. This is a chemoprevention trial designed to validatate the low-dose Tamoxifen in women with diseases at high evolutionary risk. The demonstration of efficacy and safety of such a treatment for the prevention of the invasive breast cancer would lead improvements in term of survival and quality of life for the patients at increased risk.
Second Life Therapeutics is developing SL-28, an allogeneic, non-genetically modified cell-based therapy for the treatment of advanced solid tumours. The company has recently demonstrated a novel, non-genetic approach to modulate immune cell activity through targeted manipulation of the Universal Receptive System. The purpose of this open label, multi-center clinical trial is to evaluate the anti-tumor activity, safety, and pharmacokinetics, single-agent SL-28 in patients with a diverse array of solid tumors. The study includes an initial Phase 1 dose escalation to determine recommended dose(s) for expansion of SL-28 as a monotherapy and Phase 2 expansion cohorts. The study will enroll patients with advanced solid tumours, including those who failed previous lines of chemo- and immunotherapies.
The goal of this trial is to see if active surveillance monitoring and hormonal therapy in patients diagnosed with ductal cell carcinoma in situ (DCIS), an early stage of breast cancer, can be an effective management of the disease. Participants will be asked to receive control hormonal therapy or an investigational hormonal therapy treatment. Participants will be asked to return for evaluation with MRI at three months and six months. Depending on the evaluation participants will have the option to continue on the treatment. If the evaluation suggests surgery is recommended, the participant will discontinue the study treatment and will undergo surgery. In addition to the treatment and MRI evaluation, participants will be asked to provide blood sample to understand their immune status, provide saliva sample for genetic testing, provide the study with a portion of the tissue or slides generated from tissue removed during surgery performed as part of their standard of care.
The primary aim is to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant SBRT combined with PD-1 monoclonal antibody and chemotherapy in patients with triple-negative breast cancer, with the endpoint being the pCR rate-defined as the proportion of patients with no residual invasive cancer in the breast and no axillary lymph node metastasis after treatment. This is a single-arm study. Eligible participants will receive : neoadjuvant treatment consisting of SBRT followed by Envafolimab (PD-1 inhibitor), chemotherapy and immunotherapy (Envafolimab). Surgery will be performed after the last chemotherapy cycle. Pathological evaluation will assess the treatment response. Patients will receive adjuvant immunotherapy (Envafolimab) up to 1 year post-surgery.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of pre-operative cryoablation, and immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) on on 3-year Event Free Survival (EFS), in women with residual hormone receptor negative, HER2-negative ("triple negative") resectable breast cancer after taxane-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
This is a first-in-human phase I/II study to examine the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of VLS-1488 in subjects with advanced cancers.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate and validate multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modalities for assessment of breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in a multi-site and multi-MRI scanner platform setting. This study is conducted at Oregon Health \& Science University (OHSU), University of Washington (UW), and University of Iowa (UI) using Siemens, Philips, and General Electric MRI scanners, respectively. MRI is a type of scan that uses a very strong magnet and no radiation to take very detailed pictures of parts of the body. MRI is often used as standard of care to take pictures of breast tumor(s) before and after chemotherapy treatment in order to measure the tumor size changes in response to treatment, and in order to plan for surgery. MRI is used because the images it takes are very clear and the borders of the tumor can be measured very accurately. However the tumor size alone is often not a good early indicator of whether or not the tumor responds to treatment. Tumor size change usually happens late during the period of treatment, and tumor size measured with MRI after treatment can overestimate or underestimate the residual cancer. This makes it difficult to do the right surgical planning. In addition to measuring tumor size, the MRI scans in this research study will also measure changes in tumor blood vessels and the number of cancer cells per unit of tumor volume. The purpose of this study is to see whether MRI measurements of these functional tumor properties provide better early prediction and evaluation of breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy than tumor size measurement. This is an observational study because the MRI procedures are not expected to have an effect on health outcomes. Eligible participants on this study are receiving standard of care neoadjuvant treatment for their cancer.
This is a Phase 2 study of GV20-0251 in combination with anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (including tislelizumab and toripalimab) for the treatment of participants with unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic solid tumors who are refractory to, intolerant of, or ineligible for standard of care.
This study is a prospective, non-randomized clinical study aimed at investigating the potential benefits of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) support during radiotherapy for breast cancer. CPAP is a device commonly used to support breathing, for example in patients with sleep apnea. The investigators expect a reduction in radiation doses to the heart and/or lungs with CPAP-supported radiotherapy compared to standard radiotherapy (without CPAP), which may also lead to a decrease in radiation-induced heart and/or lung conditions in the long term. The study will also examine how the use of a CPAP device can be implemented in daily radiotherapy practice.
The aims of this study is to evaluate 5 year recurrence free survival when omit sentinel lymph node biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple negative or HER-2 positive breast cancer patients when physical examination expected complete remission. And radiological expected Tumor size ≤ 2cm or non-mass enhancement ≤ 4cm.
This is a proof-of-concept phase II trial to assess the safety (as primary endpoint) and clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy with Elacestrant and PULSAR. The study will enroll 21 postmenopausal patients with early HR+ HER2- node positive BC, clinically staged II-III. Patients will receive Elacestrant 345 mg orally once daily for 24 weeks and PULSAR on the MRI-based breast gross tumor volume (GTVt), consisting of 10 Gy "pulse" every 4 weeks for a maximum of 5 or less in case of radiologic complete response. Surgery will be planned 24 weeks after Elacestrant initiation and at least 2 weeks from the last pulse and will be performed as per recommended clinical practice. Patients will then receive adjuvant systemic therapy as per standard of care and postoperative RT to the locoregional lymph nodes in case of nodal residual disease, if indicated.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of antharcycline-based adjuvant chemotherapy compared with observation in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with residual invasive disease after platinum and taxanes based neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
This clinical trial examines an investigational scan (64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab positron emission tomography \[PET\]/magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\]) in imaging patients with HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastasis). Diagnostic procedures, such as 64Cu-DOTA-trastuzumab PET/MRI, may help find HER2+ breast cancer that has spread to the brain and determine whether cancer in the brain takes up trastuzumab, which may predict for response to trastuzumab deruxtecan (the standard of care chemotherapy).
Breast cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, with over 2.2 million new cases diagnosed in 2020. Treatments such as chemotherapy often lead to a reduced exercise capacity, mainly due to cardiovascular and neuromuscular dysfunctions. This decline appears to be primarily caused by increased central fatigue, while peripheral fatigue remains unchanged. This imbalance suggests a hyperactivation of type III-IV afferent nerve fibers, which are involved in the metaboreflex-a mechanism that significantly influences cardiovascular responses during exercise. Two non-invasive methods, post-exercise circulatory occlusion (PECO) and passive leg movement (PLM), will be used to assess this hyperactivity in patients. Additionally, baroreflex function-crucial for regulating blood pressure-will be evaluated using a direct method to determine its sensitivity and reactivity. By comparing patients with healthy controls under submaximal stimuli, this study aims to better understand chemotherapy-induced cardiovascular dysfunctions. Ultimately, the goal is to design personalized exercise programs to restore cardiovascular function and reduce treatment-related side effects.
Research Background:Subcutaneous injection is an important route of administration in targeted therapy for breast cancer, but injection pain affects patients' treatment experience. Fluctuations in injection speed during traditional manual push may be one of the factors exacerbating pain, whereas machine-driven injection can provide a constant flow rate, theoretically reducing pain; however, high-quality evidence is lacking. Research Objective:To compare the difference in pain intensity between instrument constant-speed injection and manual injection in breast cancer patients receiving subcutaneous injection of pertuzumab and trastuzumab. Research Methods:A randomized self-controlled design is used, with data analysis performed using paired t-tests. The study plans to enroll 40 female breast cancer patients. Each patient receives two injection methods across two treatment cycles: instrument constant-speed injection (medical infusion pump, 2 mL/min) and manual injection (a nurse uses a stopwatch to time and simulates the injection pump speed of 2 mL/min). The order of injection methods is randomly assigned by drawing lots (the injection method for the first cycle is randomly drawn, and the method for the second cycle is naturally the alternative method). The primary outcome is the patient's most severe pain during injection, measured immediately after injection using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS, 0-10). Secondary outcomes include injection site reactions, patient satisfaction, nurse fatigue (Borg CR10 scale), patient preference, and safety indicators. Research Significance:The results of this study will provide high-level evidence for selecting comfortable and efficient subcutaneous injection techniques in clinical practice, thereby improving patients' treatment experience.
