Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to assess safety and tolerability of AZD2014 when given in combination with Fulvestrant

Interventional research with low risks and constraints, prospective and monocentric on the assessment of long-term fertility in patients who underwent an adjuvant sequential chemotherapy with or without a controled ovarian hyperstimulation. This study follows a previous one called NCT 01614704.

The standard treatment of localized breast cancers consists of surgical removal of the tumor at the breast or removal of the entire breast and lymph nodes (sentinel lymph node and / or axillary dissection) with or without chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy on the breast or thoracic wall and the lymph node areas from 5 to 6.5 weeks. Shorter radiotherapy treatments over 3 weeks for breast cancer without lymph node involvement have been equally effective and have no more side effects in several clinical trials involving several thousand patients. This called hypofractionated radiotherapy has become a standard for breast cancers in the absence of lymph node involvement in postmenopausal women. The objective of the HypoG01 trial is to evaluate hypofractionated radiotherapy in women who require radiotherapy in the breast or chest wall and lymph node areas by comparing standard over 5 to 6.5 weeks and hypofractionated irradiation over 3 weeks analyzing the possible side effects and in particular the risk of lymphedema (swelling of the arm on the side treated) and the effectiveness of these treatments

This study is a randomized trial of hypofractionation (short-course) radiation therapy versus conventional radiation therapy in women who have undergone mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction. The investigators will assess cosmetic and reconstruction outcomes, lymphedema, cancer status, side effects, and oncologic outcomes.

This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the efficacy of a Behavioral Activation and Problem Solving (BA/PS) approach to improving activity participation over time as compared to an attention control condition within a sample of 300 breast cancer survivors reporting reduced activity participation after completing cancer treatment.

This research study is evaluating acupuncture, a medical therapy in which hair-thin, stainless steel needles are shallowly inserted into specific points to help the body's natural healing process, as a possible treatment to reduce hot flashes.

This trial studies how well a breast cancer surgery decision aid works in increasing patient engagement in decision making for patients with newly diagnosed stage 0-III breast cancer. The trial also examines barriers to patient engagement even with the use of a decision aid, and if barriers are more likely to be experienced by socioeconomically disadvantaged patients.

The aim of this project is to elucidate whether the use of shared decision making will influence patient engagement in the decision making process about adjuvant radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery for local breast cancer or early stages of local breast cancer.

Numerous studies have shown the impact of anti-cancer treatments on cognition and more particularly that of chemotherapy. Elderly patients also seem to be at higher risk of developing cognitive impairment. These disorders can have a particularly negative impact in this population, in particular by having repercussions on the observance of oral treatments or even on autonomy. However, investigators still have little data concerning the management of cognitive disorders induced by oncology treatments, particularly in the elderly patient. It is therefore necessary to offer care adapted to this population which will allow the reduction of the sequelae induced by cancer treatments and the improvement of the quality of life of elderly patients.Although there are no preventive measures yet, recent studies of young women being treated for breast cancer with a cognitive complaint have shown a beneficial effect of cognitive stimulation on these cognitive disorders. Stimulation programs of this type have been developed in electronic format. However, to date, they have not been the subject of specific studies with elderly patients in whom the use of computer interface can be an obstacle.Sponsor propose to set up a study aimed at evaluating the feasibility of using cognitive stimulation software on tablets with elderly patients.The HAPPYNeuron® software, developed by a French team of neurologists, speech-language pathologists and psychiatrists, offers exercises to be performed online to stimulate the cognitive functions most impaired by oncological treatments (memory, attention, executive functions and speed of treatment).For this feasibility study, the sponsor plan to include 50 patients aged 70 and over to have them test the acceptance of cognitive stimulation by this software with a tablet interface.

This clinical trial evaluates whether a decision aid application (app) is effective in helping breast reconstruction surgery patients make informed decisions about breast reconstruction surgery. Researchers have created a computer app for breast reconstruction surgery patients that presents images of breast reconstruction outcomes that are customized to the individual patient's treatment options and personal preferences. This decision aid app may help educate patients about how they might look after surgery and answer their questions.
