Active clinical trials for "Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome"

This is a modular, phase I/ phase 1 b, open-label, multicentre study of ceralasertib administered orally in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens and/or novel anti-cancer agents, to patients with advanced malignancies. The study design allows an investigation of optimal combination dose of ceralasertib with other anti-cancer treatments, with intensive safety monitoring to ensure the safety of the patients. The initial combination to be investigated is ceralasertib with carboplatin. The second combination to be investigated is ceralasertib with Olaparib. The third combination to be investigated is ceralasertib with durvalumab. The fourth module will investigate the effect of food on ceralasertib absorption and the effect of ceralasertib on ECG parameter. The fifth module to be investigated is ceralasertib with AZD5305.

TUMOSPEC is a national family study designed to measure the relative and absolute risk of cancer for carriers of deleterious mutations to these "new" breast cancer (BC) susceptibility genes. Index cases will be enrolled consecutively from patients attending an appointment at one of the Unicancer centres, with no other inclusion criteria, and offered a BRCA1/2 analysis as part of their care plan. A panel of 24 TUMOSPEC genes, chosen in advance by a steering committee, will be tested as the same time as the BRCA1/2 genes, at one of the usual BRCA1/2 analysis laboratories belonging to the same network and participating in the study. If a mutation is found, the index cases will be asked to invite their first and second degree family members and their cousins to take part in the study, regardless of whether they have cancer. Saliva samples will be then taken and used for a targeted analysis of the familial abnormality. Each participant will also complete an epidemiological questionnaire in order to gather information about his/her medical history and any exposure to various risk factors. All medical and genotype data will be centralised at the Genetic Epidemiology Research Platform (PIGE, INSERM). The cumulative mutation frequency for all genes is estimated at 10%. Penetrance will be analysed using methods designed to minimise selection bias. The expression spectrum of the mutations will also be described. For genes where the number of mutated families is too low, the data may be contributed to international consortia. The main project will be preceded by a two-year feasibility study, using the same inclusion criteria and logistic circuits. It is this pilot study to which the current funding application relates.

This trial examines approaches to identify and care for individuals with inherited cancer syndrome. The purpose of this study is to offer no cost genetic testing to the general public. Researchers hope to learn the value of providing broad, public-wide testing for high risk cancer types (like hereditary breast and ovarian cancer or Lynch syndromes) instead of only testing people whose families are known to be high risk.

Efforts to examine the utility of alternate modalities for genetic results disclosure has widespread implications for how precision medicine research might yield direct health benefits for study participants. This study will examine the efficacy of an online self-guided program to return genetic results to a racial minority cohort population. Study results will provide empirical evidence on the effectiveness of alternate modalities for genetic results return, inform ongoing efforts to establish scalable approaches for effective return of genetic research results, and increase access to personal health information among African American women.

The hypothesis of this 3 year, prospective randomized multicenter efficacy trial is that a structured life-style intervention program with exercise training and mediterranean diet is effective regarding increased adherence to a mediterranean diet, reduction of body mass index, and increase of physical fitness.

Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (HBOC) is characterized by mutations in tumor suppressor genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, which increase the carrier's risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, especially before 40. In this pathology the DNA damage is increased because there is a state of chronic inflammation, plus the antineoplastic treatments and changes in body composition result in oxidative stress. The inductions of epigenetic changes by a nutritional intervention with an specific distribution of macronutrients, micronutrients and polyphenols, not only ensures an optimal nutritional status, but also shows a decrease in oxidative stress, and therefore in DNA damage. The aim of this study is to assess if the DNA damage in patients with HBOC decreases after the nutritional intervention.

This is a mixed-methods Hybrid Type 1 research design (efficacy study) in which we aim to conduct a two-arm randomized controlled trial and an Implementation Focused Process Evaluation of a culturally-targeted video and referral screening tool. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the efficacy of a culturally targeted video previously developed by the research team vs. a Spanish-language fact sheet from an established group on enhancing genetic counseling and testing uptake and psychosocial outcomes in Latina women at risk for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. The investigators will test the video's efficacy while also gathering data on the implementation and future sustainability of using the Risk Screening Tool (RST) and video in community clinics.

Does the olfactomédine provide an help to limit the number of false positives in the overall imaging balance and limit the number of unnecessary biopsies?

The goal of this sequential study design is to increase genetic testing in those meeting national clinical guidelines. The main question it aims to answer is: which intervention is most effective in uptake of genetic testing for the target population? Participants will receive genetic testing and counseling that may initiate life-saving screenings.

This is a community-based study requiring participant-self-enrollment, that can help to increase the rates of genetic testing among the family members of people who have been diagnosed with a hereditary cancer syndrome. The two main factors in this study are the IGNITE-TX intervention (website and navigator) and the free genetic counseling and testing. The IGNITE-TX Intervention is an innovative multi-modal intervention, with two components: a) interactive web "IGNITE-TX Hub" and b) genetic family navigators.
