Active clinical trials for "Breast Diseases"

The primary aim of this study is to investigate and test whether the use of combined indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography and ultra high frequency ultrasonography can correctly identify lymphatic vessels and venoles in close proximity to each other, for identification prior to lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) surgery.

The purpose of this study is to identify the highest tolerable dose of pyrotinib in combination with vinorelbine and to assess the safety and efficacy of the combination in Patients With HER2-Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer. The study will be conducted in two parts. In the first part, testing will be done on up to 12 subjects to determine the highest tolerable dose of pyrotinib and vinorelbine in patients with advanced solid tumors. In the second part of the study, we will explore the safety and efficacy of Pyrotinib + vinorelbine in Patients With HER2-Positive Locally Advanced or Metastatic Breast Cancer Who Have Received Prior Trastuzumab-Based Therapy. Participants will be treated until disease progression (PD), unmanageable toxicity, or study termination.

This is a multi-site, global, open-label study that includes a phase 1b evaluation of elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in women and men with with or without brain metastases from ER-positive, HER-2 negative breast cancer. Phase 1b is designed to select the recommended phase 2 dose and will be followed by a phase 2 evaluation of elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in patients with active brain metastases from ER-positive, HER-2 negative breast cancer.

Regional techniques can be used for postoperative pain control following breast surgery. Ultrasound (US) guided serratus posterior superior block (SPSPB) is a new interfacial plane block defined by Tulgar et al in 2023. It is based on injection on the serratus posterior superior muscle at the level of the 2nd or 3rd rib. This block provides analgesia in conditions such as interscapular pain, chronic myofascial pain syndromes, scapulocostal syndrome, and shoulder pain. The SPS muscle is located at the C7-T2 level. It attaches to the lateral edges of the second and fifth ribs. It is innervated by the lower cervical and upper intercostal nerves. With the SPS block, these nerves are blocked and analgesia is provided.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) represents about 15% of breast cancers and is characterized by the lack of expression of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and HER-2 non-amplification. Women with TNBC tend to be younger, African American, and BRCA-1 germline carriers. The hallmark of this subtype is early metastatic recurrences with a peak frequency 1-2 years. Prognosis for metastatic TNBC is especially poor with median survival of about 1 year as compared to about 2-4 years with other types of metastatic breast cancer. The primary objective of the phase I part of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of leflunomide in women with previously treated TNBC (or ER+ , HER2-neg MBC in Phase I). The primary objective of the phase 2 part of this study is to determine the efficacy of leflunomide in patients with TNBC. Leflunomide, which will be taken daily by mouth, is an inhibitor of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). This proposal will test if DHODH is a novel target for a particular subset of women with metastatic TNBC.

This is a randomized, open, parallel-controlled, multicenter, phase II/III, seamless design clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of RC48-ADC with capecitabine + lapatinib in locally advanced or metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer and HER2-positive advanced breast cancer with liver metastasis.

The purpose of this study is to assess how the needle size 7G vs 10G affects performance indicators and patient experience in vacuum-assisted excision (VAE) of probably benign breast lesions

This study is evaluating how ruxolitinib affects premalignant breast cells. One half of the study participants will receive ruxolitinib for approximately 15 days, and the other half will receive a placebo (sugar pill) for approximately 15 days. Once study participants have completed their ruxolitinib or placebo, participants will undergo surgery to remove the premalignant breast tissue.

SOLUS is a trans-disciplinary 48-month project bringing together 9 partners: industries (4), academic and clinical institutions from 5 countries (engineers, physicists and radiologists) representing cutting-edge expertise in their fields, to develop an innovative non-invasive, point-of-care, low-cost, easy-to-operate, multi-modal imaging system (diffuse optics and ultrasounds/shear wave elastography) for high-specificity diagnosis of breast cancer, the most common female cancer in Europe. Mammographic screening is effective in reducing mortality, however the 10-year cumulative false-positive risk is 50-60%, leading to needless additional invasive procedures (e.g. biopsy). The project addresses the unmet clinical need for higher specificity in breast cancer imaging following screening by fully combining photonics with non-photonics techniques, developing and clinically validating innovative and previously unthinkable photonics concepts and components: time-domain small source-detector distance optical tomography, miniaturized picosecond pulsed laser sources, high-dynamic-range time-gated single-photons detectors to achieve unprecedented sensitivity and depth penetration. For the first time, this allows a comprehensive quantitative characterization of breast tissue including composition (water, lipids, collagen), functional blood parameters, morphologic information and mechanical parameters (stiffness). This innovative multi-parametric characterization will significantly improve the specificity of breast screening, with great impact on the quality of life of millions of European women every year, and huge savings for the healthcare systems. The strong involvement of leading industrial players at all levels in the value chain will push the European innovation process and make a significant contribution to ensuring Europe's industrial leadership in the biophotonics healthcare market, while addressing one of the largest societal challenges in health and well-being.

In this randomized clinical trial, the investigators expect to demonstrate that the MRI contrast agent Dotarem is not less effective in contrast enhancement of breast lesions then Gadavist. Participants will be randomized to receive either Dotarem or Gadavist. In all cases, inclusion criteria will require patients having undergone or scheduled or most likely to be scheduled to undergo tissue sampling with histology results available. The patients will be prospectively and consecutively identified such that the majority of patients included will have been diagnosed with breast cancer, while including benign disease in the minority of patients in each arm. Following randomized enrollment, quantitative, semi-quantitative and qualitative image analysis will be performed to objectively assess for differences in image quality and diagnostic value.
