Active clinical trials for "Neoplasms, Hormone-Dependent"

The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a psychosocial eHealth intervention designed to improve hormone therapy adherence among Hispanic/Latinx women with breast cancer. Our proposed secondary outcomes are health-related quality of life and self-efficacy in managing hormone therapy side effects. The intervention components include breast cancer knowledge, hormone/endocrine therapy knowledge, stress awareness and management, social support, and enhanced communication and intimacy skills. The intervention will be delivered via a Smartphone application over a 12-week period. All participants will receive the intervention application (described below). Aside from using the Smartphone application for the recommended 12 weeks, participation in this study includes three assessments: baseline (at the beginning of the research study), 6-week follow-up, and 12-week follow-up.

Protocol 777-CLP-32 is the treatment and survival continuation protocol of Biomed 777-CLP-29, and will continue to compare combined hormonal therapy using the experimental aromatase inhibitor (AI) atamestane combined with the FDA-approved anti-estrogen toremifene (Fareston®), to the single agent FDA-approved aromatase inhibitor letrozole (Femara®) for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine whether maximal estrogen suppression achieved via the combination of atamestane, plus toremifene (Fareston®), is more effective than letrozole (Femara®) in delaying the growth of breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether maximal estrogen suppression achieved via the combination of an experimental drug, atamestane, plus an FDA-approved drug, toremifene (Fareston®), is more effective than another approved drug, letrozole (Femara®), in delaying the growth of breast cancer, and whether the side effects of the combined hormonal therapy are different from the side effects of letrozole.

as second-line treatment in metastatic prostate cancer, the present study will investigate the efficacy of sunitinib (SUTENT) given orally at a dose of 37.5 mg continuously, for 6 cycles of 6 consecutive weeks .Patients who are still responders after 6 cycles will be treated until disease progression, pain progression, unacceptable toxicity or death due to any cause. Dose increase or reduction of 12.5 mg increments and change of schedule is recommended based on individual safety and tolerability. Follow-up for up to 1 year from the last dose of sunitinib.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the first line combination hormonal therapy of an experimental drug, atamestane, plus an FDA-approved drug, toremifene (Fareston®), is more effective than another approved drug, letrozole (Femara®), in delaying the growth of breast cancer in postmenopausal patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, and whether the side effects of the combination are different from the side effects of letrozole.

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a psychosocial eHealth intervention on the proposed primary outcomes, hormone therapy adherence and health related quality of life (HRQoL), in breast cancer survivors. The intervention components include mindfulness-based stress reduction, breast cancer knowledge, stress awareness and management, social support, and enhanced communication. The intervention will be delivered via an online application over an 8-week period. Participants are randomized into either an intervention application (described above) or a control application (health information and general health promotion strategies). Aside from having access to the online application for the recommended 8 weeks with weekly online focus groups, participation in this study includes four assessments: baseline (at the beginning of the research study), post-intervention (8 weeks after baseline), a 6-month follow-up and a 12-month follow-up.

Breast Cancer is a public health issue worldwide. The time from diagnosis to treatment initiation varies from country to country and regionally within a country. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment initiation are key factors in patient survival rates. Currently there is a rising trend, with a high percentage of patients with "Luminal" like breast cancer only undergoing adjuvant endocrine therapy. Authors argue that tumor biology alterations after introducing very early endocrine therapy might have a prognostic and therapeutic impact and should be studied.
