Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This phase 1b trial studies the biologic effect of 9cUAB30 on early stage breast cancer. 9cUAB30 is a retinoid X receptor (RXR)-selective retinoid that acts in a tissue selective manner with the goal of minimizing side effects, a necessary feature of agents under development for cancer prevention.

The PREgnancy and FERtility (PREFER) study is a comprehensive program aiming to optimize care and improve knowledge around the topics of fertility preservation and pregnancy issues in young breast cancer patients. The program was initiated at the National Institute for Cancer Research, IRCCS AOU San Martino - IST in Genova (Liguria Region, Italy) and then it has been spread to other Italian Institutions under the umbrella of the Gruppo Italiano Mammella (GIM) study group. It is composed of two distinctive studies, one assessing fertility (i.e. PREFER-FERTILITY) and the other pregnancy (PREFER-PREGNANCY) issues. Hence, two different study protocols were developed under the umbrella of the PREFER registry. PREFER-FERTILITY aims to obtain and centralize data about the preferences and choices of young cancer patients on the fertility preservation strategies available in Italy. Furthermore, it aims to assess the outcomes of patients undergoing one or more strategies for fertility preservation in terms of success of the techniques (i.e. recovery of ovarian function, number of cryopreserved oocytes, post-treatment pregnancies) and safety (i.e. long-term survival outcomes). PREFER-PREGNANCY has two main objectives: 1) to obtain and centralize data on the management of breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy, the obstetrical and paediatric care of children born after prior in utero exposure to anticancer treatments, and the long-term survival outcomes of these patients; 2) to obtain and centralize data on the clinical outcomes of breast cancer survivors that achieve a pregnancy after prior diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

The aim of this study is to assess feasibility of a new imaging technology in the management of breast cancer (TMEM-MRI)

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death for women around the world. Notably, most breast cancer patients die from tumor metastases in the liver, lungs, bones, or brain, not the primary tumor itself. Currently, clinicians are generally successful in treating primary tumors using standard protocols that are based on tumor sub-type and staging, as well as by the presence or absence of prognostic biomarkers. However, it remains difficult to assess in advance the likelihood of metastasis or relapse in any given patient.Physicians can only rely on regular post-treatment screening to monitor any secondary onset. By the time metastasis is detected, the golden window for treatment adjustment has often already passed. This project proposes to develop an analytical tool for predicting the likelihood of metastasis in breast cancer patients post-treatment using imaging and genomic data. We will evaluate our prediction model using prospectively-collected patient data. This new prognostic tool will enable physicians to adjust and tailor therapeutic strategies to each patient in a timely manner. Overall, the tool will personalize patient care, and improve their survival chances and quality of life.

Patients with known or suspected, in the opinion of an investigator, primary or metastatic breast cancer may be eligible for this study. Up to 45 evaluable participants may undergo study imaging in this protocol. The imaging procedure may include one or both of the following imaging sessions; 1) a 45- 60 minute dynamic scan, starting at approximately the same time as the injection and/or 2) a skull base to mid-thigh scan starting approximately 60 minutes post injection of [18F]FTT. The planned scanning protocol will be selected by an investigator and will be discussed with the participant prior to the imaging visit. The PET/CT scan will include an injection of [18F]FTT. Data will be collected to evaluate uptake of [18F]FTT in breast cancer and compare with PARP-1 activity in tissue, when available. If participants are getting neoadjuvant or other systemic therapy, a second optional scan may be performed 1 day to 4 weeks after therapy begins to evaluate whether response correlates with increase in PARP-1 activity.

• Address the accuracy of functional MRI techniques to predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy given to local advanced breast cancer patients with correlation with pathology thus allowing early chemotherapy regimen modification to increase number of patients achieving pathological complete response or save patients from toxic effects of ineffective chemotherapy.

This is a feasibility study to gain preliminary information regarding whether breast imaging with or without a core needle biopsy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) but before surgery can accurately predict complete pathologic response (pCR) in women with triple negative or HER2- positive breast cancer. pCR is defined as having no residual invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ.

This randomized phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of endoxifen hydrochloride in treating participants who are undergoing breast surgery. Endoxifen hydrochloride may treat or reduce the risk of breast cancer.

The goal of this study is to evaluate changes in body composition among patients who are treated with cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitors (abemaciclib, ribociclib, or palbociclib).

The purpose of the study is to determine the recurrence rates and survival of patients with clinical T1-2N0 ER+/Her2- invasive breast cancer who have biopsy proven image detected nodal disease treated with upfront lumpectomy or mastectomy with TAD followed by adjuvant therapy. This is a prospective, single arm phase II clinical trial. Patients will be screened and enrolled per eligibility criteria. Patient, tumor, and treatment data will be documented.
