Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Development of an active second-line treatment option for metastatic breast cancer patients previously pre-treated with anthracyclines and taxanes in neoadjuvant, adjuvant or palliative settings. For each randomisation arm, 100 patients will be included. The trial was performed as a 2-stage phase II study according to the optimal design by Simon with overall response rate as the primary objective. Study Design: Arm A: Vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 d1,8; Carboplatin AUC=6 d1 q 3 weeks; Arm B: Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 d1,8; Carboplatin AUC=6 d1 q 3 weeks;

Research of predictive clinical and biological factors in breast cancer : genomic, proteomic, mutation

The purpose of this study is to determine the cost-effectiveness of biennial screening with mammography and MRI compared to mammography alone in women aged 50-75 years and who show > 75% mammographic density.

This study plans to learn more about the immune system's response to breast cancer in young women.

The goal of this research study is to test an exercise program that is designed for Hispanic breast cancer survivors. Researchers want to learn the most effective strategies for promoting exercise.

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as copper Cu 64-DOTA-trastuzumab-labeled PET, may help doctors to plan a better treatment PURPOSE: This pilot trial is studying copper Cu 64-tetra-azacyclododecanetetra-acetic acid (DOTA)-trastuzumab-labeled positron emission tomography (PET) in women with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer.

The aim of the study is to evaluate whether tamoxifen at a low dose of 5mg/d reduces in the long term the incidence of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ, DCIS (DIN 1c, 2, 3) of the breast, in woman operated for lobular intraepithelial neoplasia (LIN1, 2 and 3) or ER-positive ductal intraepithelial neoplasia (DIN 1b, DIN2, DIN3, 1a excluded) of the breast. To improve the risk-benefit ratio, the use of lower doses of the drug has been proposed. Biomarker trials revealed that 5 mg/d was noninferior to 20 mg/d in inhibiting proliferation of breast cancer and normal endometrial tissue. By contrast, the risk of endometrial cancer si dose-dependent, and the dose reduction can lead a substantial decrease. Morover a dose of 5 mg/day is associated with an overall decrease of the estrogenic activity of tamoxifen on insulin like growth factor (IGF-I), sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and antithrombin-III, with a decrease of venous thromboembolic events. Moreover, tamoxifen exhibits a high tissue distribution, so that a dose of 5 mg/day attains at the breast tissue level a concentration 10 times higher than that needed to inhibit cell growth in vitro. A prospective cohort study also showed that 10 mg on alternate days halves recurrence of DCIS in postmenopausal women. It has been shown that the treatment of dysplasia or pre-cancer drives the reduction of the invasive neoplasms onset. This is a chemoprevention trial designed to validatate the low-dose Tamoxifen in women with diseases at high evolutionary risk. The demonstration of efficacy and safety of such a treatment for the prevention of the invasive breast cancer would lead improvements in term of survival and quality of life for the patients at increased risk.

Randomized Study of the Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Filgrastine® in Patients with Breast Cancer Treated with Myelotoxic Chemotherapy. Primary Objective: to evaluate the activity and safety of Filgrastine® in Brazilian patients undergoing adjuvant treatment for breast cancer, with the frequency of grade 4 neutropenia in the first cycle of chemotherapy as the primary endpoint. Secondary Objectives: Frequency of febrile neutropenia during treatment; Frequency of neutropenia of any degree in the first cycle; Frequency of hospitalization during treatment; Duration of grade 4 neutropenia in the first treatment cycle; Toxicity during treatment; Immunogenicity throughout treatment. All endpoints will be descriptively analyzed in both groups of patients. Study design Randomized (2:1), open-label, multicenter study. Chemotherapy will be given on the first day of each cycle of treatment, for a maximum of four to eight cycles, depending on the regimen, patients whose chemotherapy treatment is prolonged beyond this period being withdrawn from the study. Patients will be evaluated through laboratory tests, including complete blood count, biochemistry and anti-filgrastim antibodies.

This is a Phase II, open-label, Single-center platform study research based on molecular subtypes to explore precision therapy in refractory triple-negative breast cancer.

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy of pentoxifylline in reducing post surgical complications for breast cancer patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. It aims to evaluate the efficacy of pentoxifylline on postoperative pain and wound healing. Participants will take oral pentoxifylline then post surgical oral pentoxifylline three times per day for 2 weeks. The researchers will compare the difference in pain score and wound healing relative to the control group.
