Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Ductal"

This clinical trial compares two supplemental topical agents (Aquaphor and Miaderm) for the treatment of acute radiation dermatitis in patients with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Radiation dermatitis is a radiation-induced skin reaction which can cause itching, swelling, pain, and general discomfort. Aquaphor is a commonly available, inexpensive, petrolatum-based multi-purpose ointment designed to protect and sooth extremely dry skin, chapped lips, cracked hands and feet, minor cuts and burns, and many other skin irritations. Miaderm is a water-based cream and contains ingredients like calendula, hyaluronate, and aloe vera which may help reduce occurrence and severity of radiation dermatitis. Both are commonly recommended and used by breast cancer patients undergoing external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). However, it is not known whether one is better than the other in treating or preventing radiation dermatitis.

Explorative study, which evaluates the effect of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on the PSMA ligand uptake on 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT in salivary duct carcinoma patients.

AIO-YMO/HEP-0315 (NIFE) is an open label, non-comparative, randomized, multicenter phase II trial

This study looks at the risks and benefits of active monitoring (AM) compared to surgery in the setting of a pragmatic prospective randomized trial for low risk DCIS. Our overarching hypothesis is that management of low-risk Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) using an AM approach does not yield inferior cancer or quality of life outcomes compared to surgery.

This is a study to investigate the potential clinical benefit of G1T38 as an oral therapy in combination with fulvestrant in patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. The study is an open-label design, consists of 2 parts: dose-finding portion (Part 1), and expansion portion (Part 2). Both parts include 3 study phases: Screening Phase, Treatment Phase, and Survival Follow-up Phase. The Treatment Phase begins on the day of first dose with study treatment and completes at the Post-Treatment Visit. Approximately, 102 patients will be enrolled in the study.

The purpose of this study is to determine if an oncolytic virus called Talimogene laherparepvec (a modified herpes simplex 1 virus that can specifically destroy cancer cells while leaving normal cells alone) injected directly into the tumor during chemotherapy prior to surgery can enhance the elimination of triple negative breast cancer tumors. The natural herpes simplex 1 virus typically causes cold sores around the mouth, but the talimogene laherparepvec version of the herpes virus has been changed to prevent it from reproducing in normal tissue. However, it can still attack and break open cancer tissue which is why it is used as a treatment for cancer. It is thought that this virus can also help recruit the participant's immune system to attack the cancer cells during their treatment and possibly destroy the tumor tissue more effectively than chemotherapy alone. This virus is already FDA approved to treat melanoma skin tumors, so investigators want to determine if this virus can achieve a similar benefit in women with triple negative breast tumors.

Study outline This is a multicenter, single-arm, phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nanoxel plus herzuma combination chemotherapy in patients with metastatic salivary ductal cancer. Approximately 41 patients will be enrolled. Treatment will be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicities. Response evaluation will be performed every 2 cycles. Dosing & Treatment schedule D1 Nanoxel 75 mg/m2 + D5W 100mL MIV over 1hr D1 Herzuma 8mg/kg (loading dose) + N/S 250mL miv over 90mins 6mg/kg (maintenance) + N/S 250mL MIV over 30mins (since 2 cycle) repeated every 3 weeks (In case of discontinuation of nanoxel without progression, single agent herzuma can be administered until progression)

The purpose of this research study is to see if a participant's nipple and areola can be safely preserved by adding radiation to these areas after a nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction.

Hypofractionated intraoperative boost (HIOB) is defined as hypofractionated WBRT (40.5 Gy in 2.7 Gy per fraction) preceded by an intraoperative boost to the tumor bed (10 Gy IOERT). The HIOB study concept will test whether such a combined schedule is superior or iso-effective standard RT in terms of local control and cosmetic outcome.

This phase II trial studies how well talimogene laherparepvec and nivolumab work in treating patients with lymphomas that do not responded to treatment (refractory) or non-melanoma skin cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) or do not responded to treatment. Biological therapies, such as talimogene laherparepvec, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving talimogene laherparepvec and nivolumab may work better compared to usual treatments in treating patients with lymphomas or non-melanoma skin cancers.
