Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of low intensity vibration (LIV) delivered for 10 minutes twice daily for 12 months on skeletal muscle function, in terms of energetic capacity measured by power generation on a stationary bicycle, among patients with early stage breast cancer planned to initiate aromatase inhibitor therapy who do not currently participate in regular exercise, compared to a wait- listed control.

The Neo-Train study is a randomized controlled trial investigating the effects of supervised pre-operative aerobic and resistance exercise in patients with breast cancer during neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Literature have shown the benefit of practicing regular physical activity during and after cancer treatment, particularly in terms of improving quality of life. The French Fencing Federation has thus developed an adapted physical activity program (Solution RIPOSTE) specially intended for patients with breast cancer. Adapted fencing sessions (saber) are thus offered to these patients in a perfectly secure context (i.e. compulsory medical-sports evaluation and trained fencing master). Since 2016, this RIPOSTE program has been implemented in several fencing halls in Lorraine. Our research project (controlled, randomized trial) aims to assess the impact of the practice of adapted fencing on the quality of life of patients, the functional capacities of the operated side (shoulder) and on the reduction of the sides effects of treatments. Our hypothesis is that such an adapted fencing program improves quality of life as well as functional abilities.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an online psychosocial self-help program for Chinese immigrant women with breast cancer, by comparing Chinese immigrant women who receive the online psychosocial program and those who do not receive the program. The investigators want to understand if this online psychosocial program is effective in helping Chinese immigrant women to feel more supported, understand that the distress is normal, engage in self-care activities, become aware of the community resources, feel more confident about returning to a normal life, and feel less distress overall as they return to life after treatment. This information will help us to better understand these Chinese immigrant women's needs and concerns and plan future growth of the program to meet their personal, cultural, and language needs.

The aim is to determine the pharmacological and biochemical association between ribociclib exposure and CYP3A variants in African American/Blacks and Non-Hispanic White patients. The investigators hypothesize that patients treated with ribociclib who are CYP3A5 poor metabolizers may be exposed to higher levels of ribociclib than CYP3A5 intermediate or normal metabolizers. The findings could allow clinicians to tailor treatments to maintain therapeutic doses while limiting toxicities.

FATLAS is a prospective, interventional, non Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) study aiming to characterize the micro- and macroenvironment of breast cancer according to patient adiposity in different histological and molecular subtypes. The macroscopic profiling of the patient's adiposity will be based on Body Mass Index (BMI), bioimpedance analysis and waist-to-hip ratio. Blood samples will be taken for lipidomic analyses and for hormonal and immuno assays. Microscopic profiling of adiposity and inflammation will be done on fresh frozen (FF) and Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) samples from the tumour resection specimen and will consist of histological characterization, immuno assays, multiplex immunohistochemistry, DNA sequencing and single nuclei RNA sequencing both in the tumour and in adjacent normal mammary tissue.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of mechanical stimulation technique compared to massages on pain level and functional discomfort (on the mobility of the shoulder) after 6 months, in breast cancer needing physiotherapy, following a total mastectomy and exploratory axillary surgery.

Treatment of hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer with Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) can lead to associated musculoskeletal pain and may cause patients to discontinue important treatment. This is a randomized controlled trial assessing the affect of Vitamin B12 on AI-associated joint pain and other outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned 1:1 to treatment or control arm. The primary objective of this study is: -To assess whether daily oral Vitamin B12 decreases average joint pain in women with AI-Associated Musculoskeletal Symptoms Secondary objectives include: To investigate whether daily vitamin B12 improves functional quality of life To explore the impact of treatment on serum inflammatory cytokine levels (C- reactive protein) between baseline and various points in treatment.

This is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, clinical trial evaluating patients undergoing breast conserving surgery using the LUM Imaging System.

The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of Intrarosa®, also known as Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), and prasterone. By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn if Intrarosa® can improve vaginal discomfort. Participants will be assigned to one of two groups. One group will use Intrarosa® once a day. The other group will use Replens™ two times a week.
