Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Electronic health records (EHRs) are an increasingly common source for populating risk models, but whether used to populate validated risk assessment models or to de-facto build risk prediction models, EHR data presents several challenges. The purpose of this study is to assess how the integration of patient generated health data (PGHD) and EHR data can generate more accurate risk prediction models, advance personalized cancer prevention, improve digital access to health data in an equitable manner, and advance policy goals for Patient Generated Health Data (PGHD) and EHR interoperability.

The goal of this observational study is to compare the image differences between conventional ultrasound and artificial intelligence-based ultrasound software in conscious adults. The main question it aims to answer is to evaluate the effectiveness by determining that the new image analysis method is considered valid if it helps to identify more than 30% of histological characteristics. Participants will undergo the examination using the two methods mentioned earlier after signing the consent form.

This randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled Phase II trial was designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of GM1 in the prevention of peripheral neuropathy caused by albumin-bound paclitaxel regimen in breast cancer patients.This study was randomly divided into 3 groups at 1:1:1 with 50 subjects in each group Subjects received study treatment until the end of treatment for a total of 4/6 cycles. The treatment period was GM1/ placebo combined with albumin-bound paclitaxel therapy. GM1 / placebo was administered 1 day before administration (D0), on the day of administration (D1) and on the day after administration (D2), and albumin-bound paclitaxel was administered starting on day D1, with a total of 4/6 cycles.

The study should evaluate distribution of [123I] I-(HE)3-G3 in patients with primary HER2-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer

The number of breast cancer survivors is constantly growing. Breast conserving surgery (BCS) is equal or superior to mastectomy both regarding survival and quality of life (QoL). Hence, as many patients as possible should be treated using BCS. The results indicate that the rate of mastectomies in Finland is higher than in Europe, while the rate of reoperations due to insufficient margins after BCS is lower in Finland than globally. With this study we aim to identify the optimal balance of radicality and tissue-conservation in BCS. The aim of this study is to measure the volume of the resected breast tissue and the width of the healthy tissue margins and to compare these with the radiological and histological tumor size and with the size of the breast and their correlation with theoretically optimal and excised volumes. This is a national prospective multicenter study conducted in five breast units. 250 women with primary, unilateral, cTis-T2 breast cancer eligible for BCS will be recruited. The diagnostics and treatment of the patients will be carried out following the Finnish national guideline. The size of the breast and the radiological size of the tumor will be measured preoperatively using mammograms and MRI. The histological tumor volume and the resection volume will be measured postoperatively. The optimal resection volume is calculated as the difference of the total resection volume and the volume of the tumor with an added 1 cm margin. To map the impact of the treatment on QoL and body image, the patients are surveyed using EORTC-QLQ-C30 and BREAST-Q Breast Conserving Therapy Module QoL questionnaires preoperatively, 3-8 weeks postoperatively, and two years after the radiotherapy. Objective evaluation of the aesthetic outcome is assessed by the BCCT.core software that uses medical photographs taken at the same time points as the questionnaires are filled.

There are more than 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States and cancer survivors have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to chemotherapy than adults without cancer. Cardiovascular rehabilitation can be an effective strategy to decrease the incidence of CVD and its risk factors in this population. The proposed study may help to examine the effect of a novel exercise intervention on cardiovascular rehabilitation in breast cancer survivors.

This randomized phase III trial studies how well eribulin mesylate or paclitaxel work as first- or second-line therapy in treating patients with stage IIIC-IV breast cancer that has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as eribulin mesylate and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

This study is based upon the following points: Resistance to trastuzumab, either primary or secondary, is a clinically relevant issue. PI3K/AKT activation, due to loss of expression/function of PTEN and/or activating mutations of PIK3CA, is a mechanism of resistance with clinical relevance in breast cancer. Such activation can be detected by: IHC evaluation of PTEN protein expression genotyping of PIK3CA exon 9 and 20 IHC evaluation of phospho-AKT expression BKM120 is an effective PI3K inhibitor. BKM120 and anti-HER2 therapy may have a synergistic antitumor activity in preclinical model of HER2+ breast cancer. Lapatinib is an effective anti-HER2 therapy in trastuzumab-resistant disease. For the evaluation of novel targeted therapies, selecting a patient population enriched for activation of the target to be modulated should allow to maximize the differences in clinical outcome that are expected in the experimental arm, and thus to minimize the patient number to include. We propose to test in a phase I/II study the combination of lapatinib and BKM120 in trastuzumab-resistant HER2+ MBC patients, enriched for activation of PI3K/AKT as detected by loss of expression of PTEN (IHC), and/or mutation of PIK3CA and/or overexpression of phospho-AKT (IHC). Only for phase II patients, mutational status will be an inclusion criteria. For phase I patients molecular status will be a retrospective exploratory analysis.

The study described in this protocol is a Phase 1, single center clinical trial to evaluate the safety and potential of [18F]GEH121224 as a PET radiotracer for the diagnostic imaging of HER2 positive breast cancer lesions. A group of 6 patients will be selected to perform a dosimetry study with [18F]GEH121224 followed by another group of 6 patients in a test-retest study. The results of this study will provide crucial information to guide the development of [18F]GEH121224 for the detection of HER2 status in advanced breast cancer patients. This study will use established methods for characterizing the radiation dosimetry, biodistribution and basic pharmacokinetics of a radiotracer.

Objective The "Bexa Breast Exam," or "BBE," for the purposes of this study is defined as the use of a Bexa device in conjunction with a portable, focused ultrasound examination ("spot ultrasound") to identify and further evaluate abnormal breast masses including cancer. Commercially, this combination of Bexa plus focused ultrasound is called "Bexa Plus." This study compares the use of the Bexa Breast Exam (BBE/Bexa Plus) as a breast cancer early detection examination with the current standard of care digital breast tomosynthesis. The specific objectives are: To measure the sensitivity and specificity of BBE as compared to digital breast tomosynthesis. Measure the proportion of women receiving a Bexa Breast Exam that require additional imaging studies. Hypothesis The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Bexa Breast Examination's sensitivity and specificity in identifying abnormal breast masses are equal to or superior than the standard accepted mammography with tomosynthesis.
