Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This is a phase IV, single-center, prospective, open-label, randomized,controlled study

This study recruits patients with metastatic breast cancer who have progressed on their current regimen of dual anti-HER2 therapy. This study evaluates whether or not the addition of simvastatin to the dual anti-HER2 therapy regimen helps make the tumor respond to the anti-HER2 therapy again. All participants will receive simvastatin in combination with their current anti-HER2 therapy regimen.

Chemo- versus endocrine therapy in combination with dual HER2-targeted therapy of Herceptin® (trastuzumab) and Perjeta® (pertuzumab) plus Kisqali® (ribociclib) in patients with HER2 positive and hormone-receptor positive metastatic breast cancer.

This clinical trial assesses whether a newly designed algorithm which looks at the genomic signature of each patient's tumor to predict their sensitivity to standard of care treatment verses being placed on a personally designed treatment trial can improve the responses in patients with newly diagnosed triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Testing the primary tumor biopsy for certain proteins and monitoring the lymphocyte infiltration into the tumors may help doctors determine the sub-type of TNBC, and direct treatments that may work well. It is not yet known whether assigning treatment based on the patient's tumor classification will improve how well the tumor responds.

To compare how often cancer recurs (comes back) after 3 weeks of radiation compared to 5 weeks of radiation in patients who receive radiation therapy delivered to the lymph nodes near the breast. The side effects that can develop during or after radiation treatment, including how often arm swelling (edema) happens, will also be studied.

This is an open label, randomized, multicenter, international phase II study for premenopausal patients with hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to receive either palbociclib + exemestane + OFS (Arm 1) or exemestane +OFS (Arm 2). Treatment will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicities, or withdrawal of consent.

This research study is for patients with metastatic breast cancer. Metastatic means that the cancer has spread beyond the breast. In addition, through genetic testing of the blood or tumor, an altered gene has been found that suggests the tumor may not be able to repair its genetic material (DNA) when it becomes damaged. This aspect of the cancer may cause it to be more sensitive - that is, more effectively killed by certain types of drugs such as the study agent being evaluated in this trial, Olaparib. Olaparib is a type of drug known as a PARP inhibitor. Some types of breast cancer and ovarian cancer share some basic features that make them sensitive to similar treatments. Information from those other research studies suggests that this drug may help to treat metastatic breast cancer. This study will evaluate whether olaparib is effective in breast cancer patients whose tumor has a mutation in one of the other genes that function with BRCA1 and BRCA2 to repair damaged DNA .This mutation may have been inherited from a parent, or may have developed only in the tumor. This study will also evaluate whether olaparib is effective in breast cancer patients whose tumor has a mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 that was acquired by the tumor, but not inherited.

This phase II trial studies how well hypofractionated radiation therapy works in treating patients with stage 0-IIB breast cancer. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects.

Nausea and vomiting (feeling sick to your stomach and throwing up) are two of the most common unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy agents (drugs specifically used to treat cancer) that will be used for cancer treatment. If nausea and vomiting are not controlled, they could lead to dehydration, poor nutrition and a longer time in the hospital. Nausea and vomiting usually occur in response to conditions that affect the gut and the vomiting center, which is an area in the brain. Netupitant and palonosetron are drugs that are thought to block the activation of certain types of chemicals in these areas (brain and gut) and, therefore, to prevent or reduce the severity of nausea and vomiting. Nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy is classified into two patterns based on the time of onset or start. Acute nausea and vomiting start within 24 hours of chemotherapy administration. Delayed nausea and vomiting starts approximately 2-5 days after chemotherapy administration. Regardless of when the nausea and vomiting start, these symptoms are usually treated with not just one drug, but a combination of drugs. In this study you will receive the study drug, which is a fixed combination of netupitant and palonosetron. This is an open label single arm study. The main purpose of this study or clinical trial is to learn more about the effect (how well it works) of the fixed combination of netupitant and palonosetron (NEPA) in preventing nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy in Hong Kong oncology patients receiving (neo)-adjuvant chemotherapy treatment consists of adriamycin and cyclophosphamide for breast cancer.

This is a prospective, single arm, open label, multicenter interventional study designed to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with anti-HER2 antibodies in patients with HER2-negative invasive breast cancer who have abnormal HER2 signaling activity determined by the Celcuity CELx HER2 Signaling Function (HSF) testing.
