Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This study evaluates the efficacy of MR-HIFU ablation of breast cancer. Ten patients with early-stage breast cancer with a maximum diameter of 3 cm will undergo MR-HIFU ablation, followed by MRI and surgical resection to evaluate treatment effect. The main purpose of the study is to demonstrate the feasibility of total tumor ablation with MR-HIFU. The secondary objective is safety assessment.

Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin Versus Gemcitabine Plus Carboplatin in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC)

This phase II clinical trial studies how well fulvestrant and palbociclib works in treating older patients with breast cancer that responds to hormone treatment (hormone responsive) that cannot be removed by surgery. Estrogen can cause the growth of estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using fulvestrant may fight estrogen-receptor-positive breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Palbociclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving fulvestrant together with palbociclib may be an effective treatment for hormone responsive breast cancer.

Background Information and Rationale: Trastuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that acts extracellularly on the erbB-2 receptor.Trastuzumab is a recombinant humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/erbB-2),which has shown in both in vitro assays and in animals, to inhibit the proliferation of human tumour cells that overexpress erbB-2. Additionally, trastuzumab is a potent mediator of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). In vitro, trastuzumab-mediated ADCC has been shown to be preferentially exerted on erbB-2 overexpressing cancer cells compared with cancer cells that do not overexpress erbB-2. Trastuzumab has emerged as a widely accepted standard of care for erbB-2-positive disease. (Metastatic/ adjuvant/neoadjuvant. Our current hypothesis suggests that the cells which are disseminated at the time of surgery will encounter an inhospitable environment which will be anti-HER in nature. Therefore combining the above mentioned streams of thought, we would like to assess the effect of a short pre-operative course of Trastuzumab on breast cancer relapse. The study is proposed in HER2 positive patients with operable breast cancer. Objectives : Primary: The primary objective of the study is to see the effect of short duration of peri-operative Trastuzumab on disease-free survival in comparison in all patients Secondary: The safety of the pre-operative therapies including the early post operative morbidity Overall survival (OS) in all patients and in pathologically node positive patients. The level of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood assessed before starting pre-operative therapy and at the same time point in the control arm, level of CTCs 10 minutes prior to start of surgery, during surgery and 10 days after surgery on 40 consecutive consenting patients (20 in each arm). The levels of circulating chromatin will also be estimated at the same time points as CTC for these 40 patients. Evaluation of the paraffin blocks for pTEN loss6-8 and p95ErbB2 truncated form of HER2 on 100 consecutive consenting patients (50 in each arm).9-11 Study Design : This is phase 3, randomized Double blinded parallel group study of Trastuzumab in pre operative setting in operable breast cancer patients. Approximately 1000 patients with Women with HER2neu positive, T1/T2/T3 and N0/N1. clinical T4 and/or N2 disease who are considered operable by the treating surgeon with histopathological diagnosis on core biopsies, will be included in the study. Patients with T4 or N2 (locally advanced and large operable for neo-adjuvant chemotherapy) will not be included. All node positive patients will receive single injection of Depot Inj. Progesterone 500 mg deep IM 4 -14 days prior to surgery Patients will be stratified, before randomization for Tumor size, menopausal status, and affordability for Trastuzumab and centre of the study. These patients will then be randomized 1:1 to receive the following Intervention arm: .A single dose of Trastuzumab (Herceptin, Hoffman La Roche) at 8 mg/Kg as a 90 minute intravenous infusion in 250 ml of normal saline, in the window period of 10-15 4 to 14 days (both days inclusive) prior to the planned date of surgery. Control arm: A 90 minute intravenous infusion of saline as placebo All patients will thereafter receive standard post-operative adjuvant therapy as per local institutional practice including hormonal therapy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Research background: Neratinib is an irreversible pan HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which belongs to one of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). In the non pCR HER2 positive breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant therapy, there is no study on macromolecular anti HER2 drugs combined with TKI drugs to treat HER2 positive breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant therapy. In addition, there is no prospective randomized controlled study results of trastuzumab combined with patuzumab versus trastuzumab combined with TKI drugs for HER2 positive breast cancer patients with RCBI-II after new adjuvant treatment. To sum up, this study is intended to design and evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab combined with nelatinib in the treatment of hormone receptor positive HER2 positive breast cancer RCBI-II patients after the new adjuvant treatment of trastuzumab combined with patouzumab. Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trestuzumab combined with nelatinib in the adjuvant treatment of breast cancer patients with hormone receptor positive HER2 positive RCB I-II after the neoadjuvant treatment of trestuzumab combined with partuzumab. Trial design: Single center, randomized controlled phase III clinical study. Study content: Study content: The qualified subjects will be randomly (1:1) treated with the following scheme: Treatment plan: Experimental group: Trastuzumab combined with nelatinib Control group: Trastuzumab combined with Parstuzumab Nilatinib: Take 240 mg (6 tablets) orally once a day, which can be taken with food every 21 days as a cycle. After surgery, it starts to be used together with trastuzumab, and stops the next cycle when trastuzumab treatment is completed. Trastuzumab: loading dose 8mg/kg, maintenance dose 6mg/kg, intravenous infusion, once every three weeks, with a total of 18 cycles during the new adjuvant treatment. Patuzumab: loading dose 840mg/kg, maintenance dose 420mg, intravenous infusion, once every three weeks, with a total of 18 cycles during the new adjuvant treatment. Observation index: main index: Invasive disease free survival (IDFS) refers to the time from randomization to the first occurrence of local or distant disease recurrence or death. Secondary indicators: 1. Disease free survival (DFS): refers to the time from randomization to disease recurrence or death due to disease progression. 2. Overall survival (OS): the time from randomization to death from any cause. 3. Distant disease free survival (DDFS): the time when no metastatic lesion was found in other places except the primary lesion after treatment. 4. Incidence and severity of adverse events

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combination of Camrelizumab (Immunotherapy, PD-1 inhibitor), Fluzoparib (PARP inhibitor) and Nab-paclitaxel in neoadjuvant therapy of Her-2 negative breast cancer patients with HRR gene mutation.

The aim of the present study is to verify the effects of a psychological-clinical intervention supported by the technique of expressive writing, on the post-operative course in terms of mental and physical health in patients undergoing surgical mastectomy treatment with post-oncological breast reconstruction. In particular, it is hypothesised that patients undergoing psychological, emotional and social well-being in the phase following surgical treatment, together with an improvement in the inflammatory profile and a possible change in the tryptophan/kynurenine ratio and cortisol. For this purpose, the recruited patients will be randomly divided into two groups. The first experimental group will consist of 10 patients with an indication for reconstruction using autologous tissues (DIEP, FALD) and 10 patients with an indication for reconstruction using the immediate prosthesis technique who will carry out the psychological-clinical intervention focusing on expressive writing about their experience of the surgical treatment. The psychological-clinical intervention includes five interviews interspersed with three days of expressive writing by Pennebaker (1986). The writing task consists of writing about a traumatic experience or an event significant to the person, for a controlled period of time (usually 15 to 30 minutes) and on consecutive days (2 to 3 days). The second control group will consist of 10 patients with an indication for reconstruction using autologous tissues (DIEP, FALD) and 10 patients with an indication for reconstruction using the immediate prosthesis technique who will not undergo any kind of psychological-clinical intervention and will be able to apply for the latter at the end of the research. In order to verify the effectiveness of the psychological-clinical intervention, the patients will undergo a psychological evaluation (anxiety, depression, alexithymia, distress, resilience, hope for the future, quality of life, body image, psychological and affective experiences related to breast reconstruction) and a survey of physiological variables (inflammatory response, ratio tryptophan/kynurenine ratio and salivary cortisol) at the various times envisaged in the study: T0 (1 month pre-surgery mastectomy with breast reconstruction), T1(the day after the end of the psychological-clinical intervention), T2 (3 months post psychological-clinical intervention) and T3 (6 months post psychological-clinical intervention).
