Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This research study is evaluating ear acupuncture as a possible treatment to reduce symptoms related to receiving chemotherapy.

The Exercising Together trial is a single-blind, parallel group, randomized controlled trial comparing 3 arms: Arm 1 (experimental): Exercising Together where couples perform partnered exercise in a supervised, group setting versus two comparator conditions where survivors and partners perform exercise routines separately in either a supervised group setting (Arm 2) or unsupervised at home (Arm 3). All three arms will train for a 6-month period and then be followed 6 months later. Data will be collected at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months.

This phase I trial studies how well curcumin works in reducing joint pain in patients who are breast cancer survivors and have joint disease caused by treatment with aromatase inhibitors. Curcumin is an ingredient of turmeric, a plant in the ginger family, which is commonly used in curries and South Asian and Middle Eastern cooking, and may decrease joint pain in patients with arthritis from other conditions (such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis).

Breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant radiotherapy commonly experience radiation-induced skin reactions which adversely impact quality of life. Importantly, patients receiving chest wall radiation or patients with large breasts are more likely to have worse skin reactions. In the last decade, there have been no significant advances in preventing or treating radiation-induced skin toxicities. In response to the lack of evidence, Sunnybrook investigators previously conducted a pilot study (REB #294-2018) of Mepitel Film and preliminary results showed improvements in high grade skin reactions. Mepitel Film has not been widely adopted in North America as more evidence is needed. The validate the efficacy of the film compared to the standard of care, a study testing the efficacy of the film is proposed. In the study, 216 patients will be randomized (2:1) to receive either the film or the institution's current skin treatments and all patients will have their skin assessed.

A feasibility study incorporating an educational intervention with cancer genetic risk assessment (CGRA) in the UI Health mammography center

The Decisions about Cancer screening in Alzheimer's Disease (DECAD) study is the first study to test if an evidence-based decision aid for AD caregivers can support decision-making about mammography and improve the quality of medical decision-making about breast cancer screening. This large randomized controlled trial will recruit up to 450 dyads (900 individual participants) of older women with AD and a family caregiver, for a goal of 426 dyad baselines (852 individual participants), from 24 primary care practices in central Indiana to test this decision aid.

This randomized control trial aims to analyze the changes in cardiovascular endurance and quality of life domains for breast cancer survivors in the United Arab Emirates using a long-term 2-month physical rehabilitation program adapted from the BREX protocol.

This is a single arm phase II study designed to determine the effects of pharmacotherapy and a remote behavioral weight loss intervention on weight loss in breast cancer survivors who are overweight or obese, and the impact of successful weight loss on serum biomarkers and gut microbiome.

The purpose of the study is to:Translate a mindfulness program into Spanish for Latina patients with breast cancer.Train a community health worker to facilitate the mindfulness program. Determine if this program is culturally acceptable and feasible, and Obtain pilot data on the program's effectiveness in reducing anxiety and depression

This clinical trial evaluates the feasibility of exercise during chemotherapy in older women with stage I-III breast cancer. Previous studies have reported that exercise may reduce the chemotherapy-toxicity risk. This trial may help researchers learn if engaging in a physical activity program is feasible in patients receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer.
