Active clinical trials for "Breast Diseases"

The objectives of this study are to explore different dosing levels and schedules of entinostat in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors, in terms of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), impact on immune correlatives, and efficacy

The study is designed to see if lavender aroma therapy reduces pre-operative anxiety in breast surgery patients.

Current standard of care for post-operative analgesia after breast surgery in CDHA is Tylenol #3® (300 mg acetaminophen, 30 mg codeine, 15 mg caffeine per tablet). We are proposing to test the analgesic efficacy of acetaminophen plus ibuprofen against Tylenol #3® in patients undergoing outpatient breast surgery.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether BNP7787 is effective in preventing or reducing neurotoxicity (nerve damage) caused by paclitaxel (Taxol®).

the study compares two surgical techniques in excision of the central duct system of the breast. known also as major duct excision

The purpose of this randomized trial is to determine the superiority of utilizing radioactive seed localization (RSL) over wire-guided localization (WL) for palpable or non-palpable malignant lesions in patients undergoing breast conservation surgery (BCS).

The investigator hypothesizes that a benign directed ultrasound, when performed after a normal digital mammogram, will provide women with focal breast pain additional reassurance that the etiology of their symptom is benign. 160 women over the age of thirty with focal breast pain who present to the Breast Imaging Clinic for evaluation between 3/1/2016 - 7/1/2018 will be selected and randomized to three groups using a block randomization technique. All study participants will complete a survey assessing psychosocial factors, then receive a digital mammogram. Patients with a negative mammogram will continue on with the study and will either have a conversation about their negative mammogram with a radiologist or receive a directed ultrasound. A second survey will be conducted assessing psychosocial factors. All study participants who did not receive an ultrasound will receive an ultrasound so that all study participants are provided with the standard of care for focal breast pain. The results of the survey will be compared and appropriate statistical analyses such as an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test will be conducted to determine any statistically significant differences between the three randomized groups. The risks/safety issues of this study are believed to be minimal.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well docosahexaenoic acid works in preventing recurrence in breast cancer survivors. Docosahexaenoic acid supplement may prevent recurrence in breast cancer survivors.

The participatory-based project will quantify the 'added benefit' of an empowerment intervention relative to an education intervention for 150 Latinas on the following outcomes: women's adherence to breast cancer screening guidelines; women's psychosocial facilitators (self-efficacy, norms, support, and knowledge); and women's dissemination of breast health messages throughout their social network. The empowerment intervention will train Latinas in how to discuss breast health with their family and friends and volunteer in local breast health promotion programs. Academic, clinician, and community partners will work together throughout intervention development and evaluation.
