Effects of MK-3475 (Pembrolizumab) on the Breast Tumor Microenvironment in Triple Negative Breast...
Triple Negative Breast CancerAssess response to pembrolizumab in both primary tumor, normal breast stroma, circulating lymphocytes and serum exosomes in treatment naive triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. Assess for change in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILS) both stromal (sTILS) and intraepithelial (iTILS) in newly diagnosed early stage TNBC patients treated with two doses of MK-3475 prior to lumpectomy.

Breast CancerHER2-positive Breast Cancer4 moreThis research study is studying the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to screen for brain metastases (spread of the breast cancer to the brain).
Imaging Performance Assessment of 89Zirconium-labelled Girentuximab (89Zr-TLX250) PET-CT in Metastatic...
Triple Negative Breast CancerThe purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of 89Zr-labeled girentuximab (89Zr-TLX250) as a novel, carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) targeted PET/CT tracer for the imaging of metastatic triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients.
Selective Omission of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy In HER-2 Positive/Triple...
Breast CancerThe aims of this study is to evaluate 5 year recurrence free survival when omit sentinel lymph node biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy in triple negative or HER-2 positive breast cancer patients when physical examination expected complete remission. And radiological expected Tumor size ≤ 2cm or non-mass enhancement ≤ 4cm.
STEMVAC in Patients With Early Stage Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Anatomic Stage IB Breast Cancer AJCC v8Anatomic Stage II Breast Cancer AJCC v815 moreThis phase II trial studies the effect of DNA plasmid based vaccine (STEMVAC) in treating patients with patients with stage IB-III triple negative breast cancer. STEMVAC may wake up the immune system in patients who have had a diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer and have been treated. STEMVAC targets proteins that are expressed on breast cancer cells and works by boosting the immune system to recognize and destroy the invader cancer cell proteins that are causing the disease. The purpose of this trial is to test the immune system's response to STEMVAC.
Predicting Olaparib Sensitivity in Patients With Unresectable Locally Advanced/Metastatic HER2-negative...
HER2-negative Breast CancerMetastatic Breast Cancer1 moreThe primary objetive is to assess the capacity of the RAD51-foci score to predict the efficacy of olaparib in BRCA1/2, PALB2 or RAD51C/D mut advanced breast cancer (cohort 1). The investigators propose the hypothesis that the RAD51-foci low tumours determined by immunofluorescence using RAD51 assay in patients with BRCA1/2, PALB2 & RAD51C/D mutation (cohort 1) predicts response to olaparib. Furthermore, The investigators posit that the determination of RAD51-foci score in tumour identifies patients who can benefit from olaparib beyond mutations in these 5 genes. This hypothesis will be tested in cohort 2.
Feasibility Study of Biobehavioral Stress Reduction Intervention in Patients With Triple Negative...
Anatomic Stage I Breast Cancer AJCC v8Anatomic Stage II Breast Cancer AJCC v84 moreThis clinical trial aims to see if patients with triple negative breast cancer can complete a biobehavioral stress reduction program that also addresses health related social needs (e.g., utilities, transportation, etc.). The stress reduction program is over ten weeks and includes stress reduction (e.g., progressive muscle relaxation), coping, problem solving, communication, and social support. Health related social needs will be evaluated at the beginning of the study, and referrals will be made to social work to help address those needs. The study will examine stress as reported by the patients and also use biological markers.
Prospective Biobanking Study in Ovarian, Breast, Head and Neck and Cervical Cancer Patients Aiming...
Ovarian CancerTriple-Negative Breast Cancer2 moreSCANDARE is a prospective biobanking study on tumor (+/- nodes), plasma and blood samples at different time points in ovarian, triple negative breast, Head and Neck Cancer and Cervical cancer patients. This study will allowed to identify new molecular and/or immunological biomarkers associated with clinical and biological features of the tumors. All patients will receive standard treatment according to the stage of the diseases and usual procédures.
Hypnosis for Pain in Black Women With Advanced Breast Cancer: A Feasibility Study
Breast CancerInflammatory Breast Cancer Stage IV3 moreThe purpose of this study is to compare two hypnotic interventions for Black women with advanced cancer pain in preparation for a well-powered phase III study. The investigators plan to enroll 30 adult Black women with advanced cancer pain in a 2-arm pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). The primary aim will be to evaluate the feasibility of conducting the 2-arm clinical trial. It is hypothesized that at least 75% of participants in both study arms will complete study requirements. The secondary aims will be to evaluate the participant's experience with the intervention and to determine the effect size of the intervention on pain severity.
ASTEROID: A Trial of ASTX660 in Combination With Pembrolizumab
Advanced CancerCervical Cancer1 moreThis is a multi-centre Phase I dose finding and proof-of-concept study of the combination of ASTX660 together with Pembrolizumab with expansion cohorts testing preliminary efficacy in immune-refractory cancers, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), cervical cancer, and glioblastoma. In contrast to the existing studies combining first-generation cIAP1/2 selective Smac mimetics with immune check point inhibitors, the ASTEROID Phase I clinical trial will be the first trial utilising triple cIAP1/2 and XIAP blockade by ASTX660 as a strategy to maximise immunogenic cell death and the generation of an efficient adaptive immune response. ASTX660 is not simply being used to repeat the data already being acquired with other first generation Smac mimetics. In contrast, we will investigate more in depth the mechanisms by which ASTX660 elicits its therapeutic effects both on tumour and on the host immune system. This will be critical to determine the best strategy to pursue in future later stage tumour specific trials of IAP antagonists in combination with immunotherapy, and to ensure appropriate molecular stratification biomarkers for the greatest benefit to patients.
