Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The MINERVA Trial aims to evaluate safety, efficacy and quality of life (QoL) for the combination of Abemaciclib with an Aromatase Inhibitor or Fulvestrant in pre- and postmenopausal patients with metastatic hormone receptor positive HER2 negative breast cancer in the first line setting. Side effect monitoring and patient reported outcomes will be captured using the web- and app-based CANKADO digital health application. Via this user-friendly tool the patients can document their therapy side effects (e.g. diarrhea) and outcomes on a day-to-day basis. The capturing of side effects using the digital health application will be done additionally to the regular AE documentation. Furthermore, translational research objectives of this trial include the investigation of biomarkers (ct-DNA, germline DNA) to evaluate whether they can give insights into the reasons for response, intrinsic or acquired resistance to the combined endocrine

The investigators will create 4 information-video's about chemotherapy side-effects in curative breast cancer care. The communication is manipulated in the four videos. Participants will watch the video before the first chemotherapy and complete questionnaires before and after viewing the video and after chemotherapy 1,2 and 4. (The investigators cannot yet reveal the manipulation as it would influence the participants)

The study is a nationwide, multicenter single-arm phase 2 study. The current phase 2 study investigates the efficacy of the combination of fulvestrant and alpelisib directly after progression on fulvestrant (either in first or second line, with or without previous use of CDK4/6-inhibitor) in patients with HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer with PIK3CA mutated tumors. All eligible patients must have progressive disease on fulvestrant as latest treatment line. Previous treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor in first or second line is obligatory. After progressive disease is confirmed, it is important to continue fulvestrant (without CDK4/6 inhibition) during the screening period awaiting study enrollment. After study enrollment all participants will be treated with alpelisib and fulvestrant beyond progression. Follow-up time will be until progression or death or until a different oncolytic treatment has started (in case no progressive disease during previous fulvestrant and alpelisib treatment has been documented). Should participants discontinue due to reasons other than progression or death (e.g. toxicity), then they should still be evaluated for disease progression every 8 weeks as per protocol until progression, unless they do not wish to proceed with these screenings, or receive a different oncolytic treatment.

Due to the unique advantages of albumin-bound paclitaxel, several studies in China and abroad have tried to use albumin-bound paclitaxel for neoadjuvant treatment of breast cancer up to now. However, comparative studies between paclitaxel and docetaxel are still rare, In this study, a prospective, randomized, open-label, multi-center clinical study was conducted to analyse the efficacy and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel and docetaxel in the neoadjuvant treatment of breast cancer, and to further analyse the efficacy and safety of albumin paclitaxel in combination with chemotherapy for postoperative breast cancer in different subtypes of breast cancer patients, in order to obtain more realistic data and provide new treatment options for breast cancer patients.

This is a randomized, open label Phase II-III neoadjuvant study comparing the efficacy and safety of ARX788 combined with pyrotinib maleate versus TCBHP (trastuzumab plus pertuzumab with docetaxel and carboplatin) in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.

The study is designed to explore the clinical benefit following treatment with tucidinosta in combination with metronomic capecitabine and endocrine therapy in patients with hormone receptor-positive, Her2-negative advanced breast cancer who have received CDK4/6 Inhibitor treatment.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability and preliminary antitumor activity of SKB264 with/without KL-A167 in patients with unresectable locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic TNBC and HR+/HER2- BC .The study is divided into three parts.Part 1（TNBC）: exploratory phase of the efficacy and safety of the combination treatment. Part 2（TNBC）: The subjects will be randomized to treatment group for SKB264 + KL-A167 or SKB264 . Part 3（HR+/HER2- BC）: The subjects will be randomized to treatment group for SKB264 + KL-A167 or SKB264 .

This is an open, prospective and interventional clinical study. Patients with advanced Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer resistant to trastuzumab will be enrolled in the study. Histological specimens obtained from different metastatic foci of patients, are used to conduct genome-wide sequencing together with Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) of blood samples. Meanwhile, investigator will construct PDO model based on biopsy tissue. Patients as well as their paired Patient-derived organoids (PDO) models are divided into six groups according to genomic signatures. Each group of patients will receive the best targeted treatment scheme from the current clinical perspective, while the matched PDO model will accept a variety of potential effective schemes intervention. The future treatment plan of patients will be timely adjusted based on the tumor inhibition rate of PDO models. This study is the first time to explore the best individualized application sequence of targeted therapy for refractory HER2 positive breast cancer by combining genome sequencing with drug sensitivity test of PDO model. The results are expected to improve the prognosis of patients with advanced HER2 positive breast cancer.

The PIK3CA gene is frequently mutated in breast cancer, leading to disease aggressiveness and patient mortality. Alpelisib, a small molecule that inhibits the activity of the PIK3CA gene product PI3Kα, has demonstrated clinical benefit in cancer patients with this gene mutation. However, hyperglycemia, an on-target toxicity associated with alpelisib that leads to hyperinsulinemia, limits the drug's clinical efficacy and induces high grade hyperglycemia in patients with baseline metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance and/or elevated HbA1c. Restoring insulin sensitivity and reduction in circulating concentrations of insulin have been reported to improve the activity of alpelisib. Evexomostat (SDX-7320) is a polymer-conjugate of a novel small molecule methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP2) inhibitor that has demonstrated the ability to reduce alpelisib-induced hyperglycemia in multiple animal experiments and has demonstrated synergistic anti-tumor activity independent of changes in glucose or insulin. Evexomostat was well tolerated in a Phase 1 safety study in late-stage cancer patients and showed improvements in insulin resistance for patients that presented with baseline elevated insulin. Overall, the most common treatment-emergent adverse events with evexomostat (TEAEs) were fatigue (44%), decreased appetite (38%), constipation and nausea (each 28%), and diarrhea (22%). All other TEAEs occurred at an incidence <20%. The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety of the triplet drug combination (alpelisib, fulvestrant plus evexomostat), to test whether evexomostat, when given in combination with alpelisib and fulvestrant will reduce the number and severity of hyperglycemic events and/or reduce the number of anti-diabetic medications needed to control the hyperglycemia for patients deemed at risk for alpelisib-induced hyperglycemia (baseline elevated HbA1c or well-controlled type 2 diabetes), and to assess preliminary anti-tumor efficacy and changes in key biomarkers and quality of life in this patient population.

In 2020, the incidence of breast cancer surpassed that of lung cancer for the first time, becoming the number one cancer in the world. HER2 is an important prognostic indicator and therapeutic target for breast cancer. HER2-overexpressing breast cancer accounts for about 20% to 30% of all breast cancer patients. Targeted therapy for HER2 protein is the core treatment for this type of breast cancer. At present, the neoadjuvant treatment mode of trastuzumab and pertuzumab dual-target chemotherapy has become the standard neoadjuvant treatment for high-risk HER2-positive breast cancer. For patients with early-stage high-risk or locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer, whether standard neoadjuvant regimen without anthracycline can achieve the same therapeutic effect compared with regimen containing anthracycline is still inconclusive.Therefore, this study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two neoadjuvant treatment regimens, TCbHP*6 and ECHP*4-THP*4, in the neoadjuvant treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer through a randomized controlled phase 3 clinical trial.
