Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The study is based on the identification of sentinel node(s) by SENTIMAG / SIENNA + in addition to the usual method (blue and /or radioactive product). This is a feasibility study

The study is a single arm prospective study, aiming at identifying biomarkers of early response to trastuzumab. It is a prognostic factor study recruiting all consecutive cases of HER-2 positive breast cancer eligible for a pre-operative treatment by trastuzumab, followed by breast conserving surgery. The investigators will study the association between the value of biomarkers measured at diagnosis and the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors response (partial and complete response) using a logistic regression (main analysis).

The investigators will determine which factors are predictive for the development and severity of everolimus-induced interstitial lung disease and will develop a prediction model based on these risk factors.

In order to evaluate the late outcome in patients curatively treated for breast cancer, a special outpatient clinic will be developed. There are two main purposes of the outpatient clinic. The first purpose is evaluating the results of the radiation treatment by mapping A) late toxicity and B) tumour control and survival. The second purpose is that this outpatient clinic for late outcome will also function as a pilot for a new CAT (Computer Assisted Theragnostics, abbreviated CAT project) in which multiple late outcome variables will be recorded. In this pilot we want to investigate whether physical presence of the patient on the outpatient clinic, allowing physical examination, has any added value to the questionnaires filled in by the patient at home. The ultimate aim of this new CAT project is to use these multicentric data to develop models for predicting both oncological outcome and late side effects. Insight in the beneficial and adverse effects of a certain treatment using these predictive models, will be required choose the optimal treatment for the individual patient using a shared decision making process.

To access the effectiveness of High-dose Cyclophosphamide Combined Chemotherapy combined with adoptive cellular therapy with dentritic and cytokine-induced killer cells in triple negative metastatic breast cancer patients

The purpose of this study is to determine if PEM scan can improve axillary lymph node staging by assessing if they are involved by cancer. Your doctor may refer you for a PEM scan, PEM stands for positron emission mammography, a relatively new and advanced application of positron emission tomography or PET scanning. For decades, PET has helped doctors diagnose and treat disease.

To develop a system to manage side effects and adjust chemotherapy dose such that a patient can receive their personal maximum tolerated dose.

For patients receiving Faslodex 500 mg, to compare the effectiveness in terms of Time to Progression (TTP) as a function of the line of treatment (i.e. 1st vs. 2nd vs. 3rd line). For all patients, to collect and explore real-life data on the epidemiology and management of Pseudomyxoma Peritonea (PMP) patients with HR+ advanced breast cancer (ABC) treated with Faslodex 500 mg or exemestane.

The purpose of this study is to investigate circadian disturbances after breast cancer surgery by means of monitoring sleep and heart-rate variability, by measuring a metabolite of melatonin in urine and by questionnaires and a sleep-diary.

Patients with metastatic or locally recurrent triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) who are scheduled for medically indicated surgical biopsy or resection of disease will be identified. Fresh/frozen tissue will be collected and will undergo comprehensive molecular evaluation with NextGen sequencing. TGEN's clonal genomics analyses will be applied in the analysis to identify and prioritize the mutated targets. Therapeutic options, based on the genetic profile of each patient's tumor, will be discussed and an appropriate molecularly-selected agent will be recommended by the Study Investigator(s) (SI) and treating oncologist as treatment for the patient. This is an open-label, pilot trial. Patients with metastatic or locally recurrent TNBC who are scheduled for medically indicated surgical biopsy or resection will be enrolled and therapeutic options, based on the genetic profile of each patient's tumor, will be discussed with the patient. Time-to-progression (TTP) for these patients following the selected therapy is the primary objective and will be compared to the TTP(s) for their most recent prior therapy. A 30% increase in TTP with the molecularly-targeted agent compared with the TTP on the immediate prior therapy will be considered as evidence of clinical benefit from the selected therapy. The secondary endpoints are best response to the molecularly-selected therapy, overall survival (OS) and genetic mutation evaluation in metastatic (or locally recurrent) TNBC. The study is designed to demonstrate that the collection and analysis of these tumor samples is feasible.
