Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. Recurrent or metastatic breast cancer is incurable. High risk patients usually have the following characteristics, such as, non-pCR after neoadjuvant therapy, lymph nodes positive, >2cm tumor size, HER2 overexpression, etc. Intensive targeted or chemo therapy could improve prognosis. Previous studies have shown the efficacy and feasibility of intensive treatment of capecitabine in non-pCR breast cancer patients. Given the metronomic capecitabine therapy is well tolerated, we designed this study to compare the efficacy and safety of adding metronomic capecitabine to standard adjuvant therapy for high risk HER2+ breast cancer patients.

This phase II trial studies how well nab-paclitaxel, durvalumab, and tremelimumab with or without personalized synthetic long peptide vaccine (neoantigen vaccine) works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving nab-paclitaxel, durvalumab, and tremelimumab with or without neoantigen vaccine will work better in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.

This phase I trial studies how well fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) works in patients with solid tumors. Fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace is a radioactive tracer, a type of imaging agent that is labeled with a radioactive tag and injected into the body to help with imaging scans. PET/CT uses a scanner to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body. PET/CT with Fluorine F 18 fluorthanatrace may allow more tumor cells to be found in patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

This is a randomized clinical trial (OMIT study) evaluating the efficacy of metastasectomy in patients with oligo-metastatic breast cancer.

This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase II clinical trial to evaluate to evaluate the efficacy and safety of first line atezolizumab in combination with paclitaxel and bevacizumab (Avastin®) in patients with advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC)

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.

This is an umbrella study evaluating the efficacy and safety of multiple treatment combinations in participants with metastatic or inoperable locally advanced breast cancer. The study will be performed in two stages. During Stage 1, four cohorts will be enrolled in parallel in this study: Cohort 1 will consist of Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-positive participants who have received no prior systemic therapy for metastatic or inoperable locally advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) (first-line [1L] PD-L1+ cohort). Cohort 2 will consist of participants who had disease progression during or following 1L treatment with chemotherapy for metastatic or inoperable locally-advanced TNBC and have not received cancer immunotherapy (CIT) (second-line [2L] CIT-naive cohort). Cohort 3 will consist of participants with locally-advanced or metastatic HR+, HER2-negative disease with PIK3CA mutation who may or may not have had disease progression during or following previous lines of treatment for metastatic disease (HR+cohort). Cohort 4 will consist of participants with locally-advanced or metastatic HER2+ /HER2-low disease with PIK3CA mutation who had disease progression on standard-of-care therapies (HER2+ /HER2-low cohort). In each cohort, eligible participants will initially be assigned to one of several treatment arms (Stage 1). In addition, participants in the 2L CIT-naïve cohort who experience disease progression, loss of clinical benefit, or unacceptable toxicity during Stage 1 may be eligible to continue treatment with a different treatment combination (Stage 2), provided Stage 2 is open for enrollment.
