Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

GB491-005 is a multicenter, open-label, phase Ib Clinical Trial study to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) activity, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of GB491 in combination with Letrozole in Previously Untreated Patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative Advanced Breast Cancer

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.

This is a Phase III, a randomized, double-blind, parallel , multi-center trail to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TQB3616 capsules plus fulvestrant compared to placebo plus fulvestrant in participants with estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-Negative Advanced Breast Cancer. Approximately 287 women will be randomized to either TQB3616 plus fulvestrant or TQB3616-matching placebo plus fulvestrant. Randomization will follow a 2:1 randomization ratio,the experimental is 191; the Placebo Comparator is 96.

As a result of the cancer diagnosis and medical therapies, women with breast cancer often encounter debilitating cooccurring psychological and physical symptoms. While pain constitutes one of the most common adverse physical side effects of medical treatment reported by breast cancer patients, the most prevalent psychological symptom they seek psychological help for is depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in psychosocial oncology care may be particularly beneficial in targeting depression and cancer-related pain. The aim of the I-CAN-ACT project is to examine in a RCT the efficacy of a brief ACT-based intervention for both depression and physical pain (6 online sessions) compared to a waitlist control on various outcomes in women with breast cancer. Outcomes will include quality of life, physical pain intensity and interference, depression, and anxiety in women with breast cancer. These will be assessed at post-treatment and at the 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1 year follow-ups (for Marianna Zacharia's PhD thesis, results will be presented until the 3-month follow-up). Also, the Acceptability and Feasibility of the intervention will be assessed. That is, participants' treatment acceptability and adherence to the brief ACT intervention in terms of retention, treatment engagement and satisfaction with each session and with the overall treatment will be assessed. Participants' reasons for dropout will be recorded.

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of utidelone in combination with bevacizumab in the treatment of advanced breast cancer with brain metastases, and thus provides a new systemic treatment strategy for those patients.

This is a Phase IIIb, multinational, multicenter, randomized, open-label study to evaluate patient preference of the fixed-dose combination of pertuzumab and trastuzumab for subcutaneous use (PH FDC SC) administration in the home setting compared with the hospital setting during the cross-over period of adjuvant treatment in participants with early or locally advanced/inflammatory human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer.

This early phase I trial studies the possible benefits and/or side effects of topical or oral minoxidil in treating endocrine therapy-induced hair loss (alopecia) in patients with stage I-IV breast cancer. Endocrine therapy-induced alopecia (EIA) is a distressing side effect that leads to reduced quality of life and early cessation of therapy in women undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Patients on endocrine therapy commonly report hair loss or thinning. Minoxidil is a drug that may promote hair growth and reduce hair loss. Oral minoxidil may increase hair density in women with EIA, and work the same as topical minoxidil in treating EIA in patients with breast cancer.

For patients with early breast cancer with negative axillary lymph nodes, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) can largely avoid complications such as upper limb lymphoedema caused by axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Locally advanced breast cancer requires neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), based on the breast cancer treatment guidelines. In addition to shrinking the primary breast lesion, NAC can reduce the stage for axillary positive lymph nodes. Therefore, in recent years clinicians have been considering SLNB for patients whose axillary lymph nodes have turned negative after NAC. After verification by the clinical trials, the current NCCN guidelines recommend that patients with T1-3N0-1 undergo SLNB after NAC, however, the false negative rate (FNR) of conventional SLNB after NAC is as high as 14%, which potentially leads to underestimation of the risk for recurrence and metastasis, insufficient adjuvant therapy, eventually affects long-term survival. Thus, how to accurately assess and treat axillary lymph nodes after NAC remains an urgent clinical question to be answered. In recent years, a method using a metal clip to label positive lymph node before NAC has emerged in order to reduce the FNR of SLNB after NAC. Its principle is to trace the metastasized lymph node, so that the lymph node can be accurately found in the surgery, even if the lymph node is not blue-stained at the time. Apparently, this method is more suitable for small number of nodes, and inappropriate for more than two metastasized nodes. The diameter of manocarbon particles (150nm) is between that of lymphatic capillaries (120-500nm) and capillaries (20-50 nm). With the unique macrophage phagocytosis, nanocarbon particles can remain in the lymphatic system for a long time. Using nanocarbon to label positive lymph nodes before NAC, our pilot study explored the regression of axillary lymph nodes after NAC. We found that, except for a small number of drug-resistant patients, the regression of positive lymph nodes after NAC followed a pattern of from the superior to the inferior, and from the medial to the lateral. We also found that, the worse the efficacy of NAC, the fewer black-stained nodes after NAC, suggesting long-term tracing of positive axillary lymph nodes by nanocarbon particles can guide precise treatment of axillary lymph nodes after NAC. These findings are integrated with our previous research project which investigated the spatial distribution of positive axillary lymph nodes with the intercostals brachial nerve (ICBN) as the boundary. It is proposed that low lymph node dissection below ICBN (pALND) may be a safe and efficient method reducing lymphoedema in patients with negative nodes after NAC. Prone position CT scan combined with clinical palpation of axillary lymph nodes can comprehensively evaluate axillary conditions in patients with breast cancer before surgery, and determine node metastasis accurately, and make correct clinical plans.

This study is to learn if the combination therapy of capmatinib and neritinib can help to control metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer. Researchers also want to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination therapy of capmatinib and neritinib that can be used in this study drug combinations. The safety of this drug combination and the CELsignia MP test methodology will also be studied.

Patients with locally advanced (stage III) breast cancer (LABC) are characterized by a significantly worse prognosis compared to patients with primarily operable breast cancer. While neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been the first choice in this situation for several decades, recent evidence suggests that some patients may experience an extraordinary effect from neoadjuvant endocrine treatments involving aromatase inhibitors as monotherapy or in modern drug combinations.Selected LABC patients admitted for treatment will be offered combination therapy including letrozole and ribociclib. The overall goal of the project is to improve understanding of tumor responses and resistance in patients suffering from ER-positive/HER-2 negative locally advanced breast cancer, focusing on the role of the immune system including the gut microbiome.
