Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The need/benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy could be negligible for a certain category of patient with newly diagnosed unilateral non metastatic breast cancer. Physicians are sometimes divided between the administration of adjuvant treatment and no administration when the risk of distant relapse at 10 years is around 10% with uncertainty and a theoretical benefit of chemotherapy is less than 5% at 10 years according to guidelines in use in the center. Several genomic tests have been developed this last decade. These tests use a sample of breast cancer tissue to analyze the activity of a group of genes. Knowing whether certain genes are present or absent, overly active or not active enough, can help physicians predict the risk of recurrence. In addition to standard pathological characteristics, a genomic test could be helpful in making treatment decisions, such as whether or not chemotherapy should be part of the treatment plan. First generation prognostic tests are currently widely used worldwide to guide decision making regarding adjuvant chemotherapy (OncotypeDX™ Mammaprint®). Prognostic tests have reached a level of evidence 1A, with the results of the prospective randomized trial "Mindact". In the "Mindact" trial, among women with early-stage breast cancer who were at high clinical risk and low genomic risk for recurrence, the receipt of no chemotherapy on the basis of the 70-gene signature led to a 5-year rate of survival without distant metastasis that was 1.5 percentage points lower than the rate with chemotherapy. Given these findings, approximately 46% of women with breast cancer who are at high clinical risk might not require chemotherapy. The health-economic value of such signatures in the general population of patients with localized breast cancer appears very low at current costs. Meanwhile, next generation prognostic signatures have been developed that have integrated clinical parameters and suggest high added value beyond all standard and traditional characteristics including tumor burden, grade, Estrogen Receptor (ER) and Progesterone Receptor (PR), Her2, age and also standard assessment of proliferation. In this study, the clinical utility of genomic tests (Endopredict®, Prosigna®, OncotypeDX®, Mammaprint® assay) defined as impact on chemotherapy decision in the adjuvant setting in patients with ER-positive, Her2-negative early breast cancer with uncertainty on the indication of chemotherapy using standard assessments will be compared.

The purpose of this work: to assess the tolerability and effectiveness of the autogemotherapy method on the basis of autologous antigen-activated dendritic cells in the treatment of patients with breast cancer. This technology is intended for complex treatment of patients with breast cancer and is aimed at preventing the occurrence and treatment of secondary foci. The need for this technology is justified by the widespread occurrence of breast cancer among women, a decrease in the average age at onset of the disease and a young age, and the chemoresistantness of locally advanced forms of cancer.

The Investigators hypothesize that single agent lenvatinib has biological activity in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer, and that the effects are more pronounced in patients with positive RET expression in the tumor.

A Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of a Single Agent Docetaxel 2-Weeks Regimen in the Treatment of HER2 Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer to a 3-Weeks Regimen

This is a randomized phase III trial in women with invasive carcinoma of the breast with negative axillary nodes treated by Breast Conserving Surgery (BCS). Eligible, patients will be randomly allocated to receive radiotherapy of 3 Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3DCRT) Whole Breast Irradiation (WBI) 50 Gray (Gy) in 25 daily fractions over 5 weeks or Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) 38.5 Gy in 10 daily fractions of 3.85Gy over two weeks or 38.5 Gy in 10 twice daily fractions of 3.85Gy over one week. Patients will be followed at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months post randomization. Cosmetic outcome will be measured using photographs and evaluated by a panel of trained radiation oncologists. Radiation toxicity will be assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE).

The clinical efficacy of fulvestrant and/or palbociclib in the population of patients with metastatic lesions harboring ESR1 mutations was reported. In the PALOMA 3 study, the combination of Fulvestrant+ Palbociclib seems to be active in patients whose tumour harbours ESR1 mutations. This study will confirm these data on this population and will allow us to identify if other gene alterations or a genomic signature can correlate with fulvestrant +palbociclib resistance.

Effect of the contrast-enhanced diagnostic ultrasound during neoadjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer on the achieved tumor size reduction and tolerability of chemotherapy

To study the effects of green coffee supplement on adropin, irisin, vaspine, systemic inflammation and oxidative stress in breast cancer survivors.50 breast cancer survivors who their treatment is over and referred to follow breast cancer clinic with will be randomly allocated to receive placebos or 2 capsules green coffe for 12 weeks; both groups will be advised to adherence the investigators' diet and exercise program too. At the first and the end of the intervention, adropin, irisin, vaspine, systemic inflammation and oxidative stress will be assessed and compared between groups.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib in patient with TNBC

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has become the standard therapy for both locally advanced and early-stage breast cancer in recent years for the improvement breast conserving surgery rate and the evaluation of treatment response in vivo. Pathological complete response (pCR) is an independent prognostic factor irrespective of breast cancer intrinsic subtypes after NAC. The trial is designed to compare effectiveness between anthracycline and/or taxane as neoadjuvant chemotherapy for operable advanced breast cancer in different molecular typing. In this trial the investigators will randomly assign 200 primary breast cancer patients to receive six cycles of fluorourcil, epirubicin,and cyclophosphamide(FEC), or four cycles of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (EC) followed by four cycles of docetaxel(T), or six cycles of docetaxel and cyclophosphamide (TC). Trasuzumab was recommended combining docetaxel to patients if HER-2 positive.The effectiveness of therapy will be estimated after every two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Surgery will be performed after completing designated full cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is to assess pathologic complete response (pCR, ypT0/is ypN0) rate in different regiments. The secondary endpoint is to assess the relationship between pCR rate with molecular typing in different regiments, so that the investigators could optimize neoadjuvant chemotherapy regiment according to molecular typing.
