Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This pilot clinical trial studies how well social media listening works in improving clinical trial recruitment in patients with cancer. Social media listening and recruitment on Twitter may enhance enrollment for cancer-related clinical trials.

The aim of this prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label, explorative phase II study is to identify the impact of (neo)adjuvant denosumab on the systemic immunity and local immunologic microenvironment in postmenopausal patients with HER2 negative non-metastatic primary breast cancer.

This is a randomized, open-label, two-arm, phase III trial in Germany to investigate whether vinorelbine-based triple combination presents a less toxic treatment option than docetaxel-based triple combination in patients with HER2-positive advanced breast cancer who have not previously received any systemic treatment in the metastatic setting. The primary objective of the study is to compare patient-reported quality of life in the two treatment arms. Patients will be followed-up for survival until death or end of study after at least 79 deaths occured in each arm, whatever comes first.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well exercise intervention works in targeting adiposity and inflammation with movement to improve prognosis in stage I-III breast cancer survivors. Different types of exercise may reduce inflammation in fat tissue and minimize the risk of cancer recurrence related to being overweight or obese.

This is a single arm, phase 0 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PET-CT scans with FDG-labeled RBC in patients with breast cancer. Cardiac ejection fraction can be calculated and monitored in breast cancer patients during chemotherapy using a FDG-RBC PET-CT scan. The purpose of this study is to determine if calculated cardiac ejection fraction shows high concordance with results from echocardiography.

The purpose of this research study is to find the lowest dose of the cancer drug parsaclisib that has an effect on the type of breast cancer a participant has. Researchers are looking at how Parsaclisib affects the immune system. They want to learn whether and how it helps the immune system to find cancer cells to fight them. Parsaclisib is an oral drug that limits the effects of a protein called phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase δ (PI3K). By limiting P13K, parsaclisib can block certain cells that prevent the immune cells from working. As a result, it may help the body's immune system to fight tumors. Parsaclisib is being studied in several clinical trials to treat different types of cancers. Parsaclisib has not yet been approved by FDA for the treatment of cancer. Studies have shown that a good way to find out how cancer acts when exposed to anti-cancer drugs is through a pre-operative window study. In this type of study, tissue and blood are collected before treatment. Then subjects receive a study drug for a few weeks before surgery. Blood is drawn during the course of treatment, and leftover tissue is collected during surgery. Comparing the tissue and blood before and after treatment shows the effects the study drug may have had on the tumor. Research shows that cancers differ when you look at the DNA and RNA (genetic codes) that are inside a cancer cell. DNA and RNA carry genetic information that can determine traits in humans (such as eye color, height, reaction to treatment, etc.), as well as the traits of cancer cells. Depending on the genetic profile (particularly DNA and RNA) of the cancer, it may respond differently to parsaclisib. In this study, the investigators will look at the genetic profile of a participant's tumor by studying tissue and blood samples collected before and after receiving treatment.

This phase II trial compares two drug therapy plans for the correction of heart function changes (reduced ejection function) in patients who have undergone anthracycline-based treatment for lymphoma, sarcoma, or breast cancer. "Reduced ejection fraction" means the left ventricle of the heart is pumping a reduced blood volume with each heartbeat. Treatment is recommended, and the purpose of this research is to compare two different drug therapy plans (standard therapy with carvedilol and lisinopril and standard therapy with carvedilol and lisinopril plus pravastatin and spironolactone) and their effects on improvement of heart function. All of these drugs are heart medications, and carvedilol and lisinopril are commonly used to improve heart function. Adding pravastatin, a cholesterol lowering drug with additional beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, and spironolactone, a water pill with additional beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, may lead to even better (and faster) improvements in heart function.

The study will test metformin in patients with early breast cancer. Blood and tissue will be collected before and after the use of metformin.

The purpose of this study is to assess the fine needle aspiration methodology in collecting sufficient tumour cells to measure tissue TNFa levels serially in human breast cancer sample receiving Taxane treatment

The purpose of this study is to see whether low level laser therapy can help maintain normal hair growth on the scalp in people receiving chemotherapy, which is generally associated with hair loss.
