Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The goal of this study is to find out if the experimental product, sacituzumab govitecan-hziy (SG) in combination with pembrolizumab given after surgery, is effective and safe compared to the treatment of physician's choice (TPC) which includes either pembrolizumab or pembrolizumab plus capecitabine in participants with triple negative breast cancer that still remains after surgery and pre-surgical treatment.

To find a recommended dose of valemetostat that can be given in combination with trastuzumab deruxtecan to patients with low/ultra-low HER2-expressing metastatic breast cancer.

This is a Phase III, randomized, open-label, 3-arm, multicenter, international study assessing the efficacy and safety of Dato-DXd with or without durvalumab compared with ICT in participants with stage I to III TNBC with residual invasive disease in the breast and/or axillary lymph nodes at surgical resection following neoadjuvant systemic therapy.

Phase 1 - Safety and Proof of Concept

This research is being done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a drug currently known as VS-6766 in combination with the drugs abemaciclib and fulvestrant in HR+/HER2-negative breast cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: VS-6766 Abemaciclib Fulvestrant

The aim of the present study is to verify the effects of a psychological-clinical intervention supported by the technique of expressive writing, on the post-operative course in terms of mental and physical health in patients undergoing surgical mastectomy treatment with post-oncological breast reconstruction. In particular, it is hypothesised that patients undergoing psychological, emotional and social well-being in the phase following surgical treatment, together with an improvement in the inflammatory profile and a possible change in the tryptophan/kynurenine ratio and cortisol. For this purpose, the recruited patients will be randomly divided into two groups. The first experimental group will consist of 10 patients with an indication for reconstruction using autologous tissues (DIEP, FALD) and 10 patients with an indication for reconstruction using the immediate prosthesis technique who will carry out the psychological-clinical intervention focusing on expressive writing about their experience of the surgical treatment. The psychological-clinical intervention includes five interviews interspersed with three days of expressive writing by Pennebaker (1986). The writing task consists of writing about a traumatic experience or an event significant to the person, for a controlled period of time (usually 15 to 30 minutes) and on consecutive days (2 to 3 days). The second control group will consist of 10 patients with an indication for reconstruction using autologous tissues (DIEP, FALD) and 10 patients with an indication for reconstruction using the immediate prosthesis technique who will not undergo any kind of psychological-clinical intervention and will be able to apply for the latter at the end of the research. In order to verify the effectiveness of the psychological-clinical intervention, the patients will undergo a psychological evaluation (anxiety, depression, alexithymia, distress, resilience, hope for the future, quality of life, body image, psychological and affective experiences related to breast reconstruction) and a survey of physiological variables (inflammatory response, ratio tryptophan/kynurenine ratio and salivary cortisol) at the various times envisaged in the study: T0 (1 month pre-surgery mastectomy with breast reconstruction), T1(the day after the end of the psychological-clinical intervention), T2 (3 months post psychological-clinical intervention) and T3 (6 months post psychological-clinical intervention).

The Mind programme for cancer patients was developed by this project's PI through the integration of ACT, mindfulness and CFT components specifically adapted to the needs of a cancer population. This intervention aims at improving well-being, preventing subsequent distress, and promoting adaptation to the disease and posttreatment period. A recent pilot study presented preliminary findings on this intervention, suggesting high acceptability and efficacy in improving self-reported psychological health in breast cancer patients undergoing Radiotherapy treatment. Nevertheless, this study's small sample size, methodology (inactive control group), and exclusive reliance on self-reported data limit the interpretation and generalization of results, creating an avenue for the optimization and further testing of the programme through more robust and reliable methods. The aim of this project is therefore to optimize the Mind programme taking into consideration the results from its pilot study and to conduct a Randomized Controlled Trial on the efficacy of the intervention in improving not only mental health outcomes but also biological markers, as well as on its cost-effectiveness, in women with breast cancer. The superiority of the Mind programme will be compared to a support group intervention through the analysis of changes in depressive symptoms and anxiety severity, cancer-specific quality of life and psychological experiences, and immunological and epigenetics markers related to mental health and breast cancer prognosis. All participants will receive the intervention that shows better results.

This clinical trial is evaluating a drug called AC699 in participants with estrogen receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor 2 negative (ER+/HER2-) locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. The main goals of this study are to: Identify the recommended dose of AC699 that can be given safely to participants Evaluate the safety profile of AC699 Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of AC699 Evaluate the effectiveness of AC699

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the application of concomitant modulated electro-hyperthermia in a neoadjuvant chemotherapeutic setting is beneficial for patients with HER2-negative, stage II-III breast cancer.
