Active clinical trials for "Fibrocystic Breast Disease"

This phase II trial studies how well abemaciclib works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that can be removed by surgery (resectable) and does not respond to treatment with chemotherapy alone, or in combination with pembrolizumab. Abemaciclib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

This phase II trial tests whether low-dose aspirin can affect markers of inflammation in postpartum (after childbirth) patients with benign breast disease planning to have a breast biopsy. Chronic inflammation may increase the risk of postpartum related breast cancer. Low-dose aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Giving low-dose aspirin may affect markers of inflammation in blood and tissue and may prevent postpartum related breast cancer.

Robotic mastectomy and immediate reconstruction have been introduced in 2015. However, since robotic mastectomy is the latest surgical technique, there is a lack of studies prospectively comparing conventional mastectomy and immediate reconstruction with robotic mastectomy. For this reason, this study is designed to establish a single institution cohort study that prospectively collects patients undergoing mastectomy and reconstruction. This study was initially designed as a single institution study, however, currently, the study was extended to the multicenter study including 22 institutions over the country. Using the established prospective cohort data, a comparative study of robotic mastectomy with conventional mastectomy and reconstruction, and cost-effectiveness and satisfaction of robotic endoscopic surgery, and cost-effectiveness and satisfaction of reconstructive surgery are to be analyzed.

Breast cancer incidence is increasing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and breast cancer mortality is high in these regions largely due to late stage diagnoses. This is true in the low-income East African country of Rwanda, where there are no national protocols in place to guide evaluation and referral of breast symptoms at primary health facilities. This study will use quantitative and qualitative methods to examine implementation of the Women's Cancer Early Detection Program (WCEDP) in order to understand optimal strategies to scale and sustain breast cancer early diagnosis in Rwanda and other limited-resource settings. The WCEDP is an adaptation of a prior intervention in Burera District, which focused on building community awareness of breast symptoms, improving clinicians' clinical breast assessment (CBA) skills, and implementing weekly breast clinics at the primary health care center and hospital levels. The Burera intervention was associated with improvements in health care workers' knowledge and skills, increases in care-seeking and receipt of care by women with breast symptoms, and an increase in early-stage breast cancer diagnoses.

The VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL; NCT 01169259) is an ongoing randomized clinical trial in 25,875 U.S. men and women investigating whether taking daily dietary supplements of vitamin D3 (2000 IU) or omega-3 fatty acids (Omacor® fish oil, 1 gram) reduces the risk of developing cancer, heart disease, and stroke in people who do not have a prior history of these illnesses. This ancillary study is being conducted among participants in VITAL and will examine whether vitamin D effects mammographic breast density, mammographic texture features, and gene expression profiles in breast biopsy tissue.

The goal of this observational study is to compare the image differences between conventional ultrasound and artificial intelligence-based ultrasound software in conscious adults. The main question it aims to answer is to evaluate the effectiveness by determining that the new image analysis method is considered valid if it helps to identify more than 30% of histological characteristics. Participants will undergo the examination using the two methods mentioned earlier after signing the consent form.

This is an observational, prospective, and transversal study, designed to evaluate the effectiveness of CELBREA® in women from the local community coming to consult at the Breast Pathology Unit of La Paz Hospital (Madrid, Spain), because of discomfort, breast symptoms, or because they have been sent for specialized evaluation because of a diagnostic doubt, providing actualized data on the effectiveness of the device within the context of the real-world scenario. Because of its transverse nature, the observation period will be limited to the necessary amount of time to perform the initial consult, additional tests when prescribed by the physician, and the CELBREA® test.

The Breast Cancer Program Longitudinal Repository (BCPLR) is being established to fulfill the research mission of the Breast Cancer Program at Johns Hopkins and to serve investigators affiliated with it - to develop a repository of specimens with corresponding characteristics from patients seen in the breast care and cancer clinics.

In 2005, The University of Alabama at Birmingham established a NIDDK-funded, interdisciplinary center of excellence in PKD-related research, with specific emphasis on recessive PKD. In the previous Core Center award period, we developed a Core Resource to capture clinical and mutational data for ARPKD patients ("Core A: ARPKD Clinical and Genetic Resource", NCT00575705). However, studies in the last several years have demonstrated that ARPKD and other single gene disorders characterized by renal cystic disease and extra-renal phenotypes share numerous pathogenic features. In the current competitively- renewed Center, we have expanded this Core resource to include other hepato/renal fibrocystic diseases. Goals for the Core A: The Hepato/Renal Fibrocystic Diseases Translational Resource are: - Clinical Database: • Expand our comprehensive Clinical Database to include information from all patients who meet the inclusion criteria for hepato/renal fibrocystic diseases. - Mutational Database: Test children with ARPKD and other hepato/renal fibrocystic disease to identify genetic mutations, establish a DNA bank for patients with hepato/renal fibrocystic diseases and develop a Mutational Database. This Database will be capable of linking clinical and mutational information via a unique identifier in a searchable format to facilitate genetic research (e.g. genotype-phenotype correlations, new disease gene studies, and modifier gene studies), translational studies, and clinical trials. 3- Tissue Resource: Much of the research that is performed on diseases of the kidney, including recessive genetic diseases, requires human tissue from both affected as well as non-affected (controls) individuals. In this Core Resource, we are establishing an independent tissue resource which would supply investigators throughout North America with samples of hepato/renal fibrocystic disease affected tissues for studies of these disorders. 4- Educational Resource: Expand our multi-media, web-based resource to provide a reliable up-to-date, and comprehensive informational resource for ARPKD and Hepato/Renal Diseases families, their physicians, and genetic counselors. All the information regarding participation in "Core A: The Hepato/Renal Fibrocystic Diseases Translational Resource" is available at: http://www.arpkdstudies.uab.edu/.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of three doses of topically applied danazol compared to placebo in subjects with pain associated with fibrocystic breast disease and to determine the appropriate clinical dose for future studies.
