Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

To determine the safety and tolerability of orally administered hydroxychloroquine with hormonal therapy. To assess the response rate of hydroxychloroquine in combination with hormonal therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nab-PTX and trastuzumab for ER negative and HER2 positive operable (tumor size of 3cm or less and N0) breast cancer.

The investigators propose a randomized two arm trial, using Simon's 2-stage design, in ER+ patients with therapy resistant breast cancer to test the optimal sequence and dosing of epigenetic immune priming in hormone therapy resistance breast cancer. A third arm (Arm C) will include ER-negative patients who will follow the concurrent priming, but exclude tamoxifen. The two arms all include vorinostat, tamoxifen, and pembrolizumab to evaluate Sequential priming - begin pembrolizumab in Cycle 1 (Arm B and Arm C) and, Concurrent priming with maximal dosing of both epigenetic and immune modulators- begin pembrolizumab on day 1 in Cycle 2 (Arm A)

Open label, non-randomized, dose escalation and expansion Phase Ia/b trial to evaluate the safety of the combination of BMN 673 and carboplatin, and subsequently BMN 673 in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin to determine the recommended Phase II dose of the combination.

Background/Main objective: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure widespread accepted in the treatment of different tumors, especially in the liver but its benefit is not yet well-known in breast cancer. Our main objective is to evaluate the usefulness of RFA in < 2cm malignant breast tumors to reduce the proportion of positive margins. Methodology: The investigator propose a single-center, single-blind, phase I and II randomized controlled trial. Phase I:Security of the cool-tip cluster electrode assessing the potential adverse effects in three stages: initial,intermediate and final. Phase II: Randomized clinical trial, 2 parallel groups with 37 patients in each one. Experimental group: percutaneous RFA previous to conventional lumpectomy. Control group: conventional surgery with lumpectomy. The number of positive margins in both groups, and the need of extending margin resection will be assessed intraoperatively. Inclusion criteria: women >40 years, infiltrating ductal breast carcinoma by biopsy. The tumor must be unique, visible by ultrasound, smaller than 2cm and located > 1 cm from the chest wall and the skin. Patients will be followed up for a period of two years to assess cosmetic result, short -term and long -term complications and recurrences. Expected results: The "cool-tip" (cluster) ablation method reduces by at least 30% the risk of intraoperative extensions for positive margins during lumpectomy compared to conventional surgery in breast tumors with a diameter < 2 cm. Therefore this procedure may reduce the risk of second surgeries and the removed volume of tissue.Consequently the final cosmetic result should be improved.

This study is designed to evaluate the preliminary anti-tumor activity and tolerability of PF-03084014 when administered as a single agent in the treatment of patients with advanced triple receptor-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) harboring genomic alterations in Notch receptors (NA+), and in a smaller subset of mTNBC patients whose tumor tests negative for genomic alterations in Notch receptors (NA-)

The objective of this study was to assess efficacy and safety of radium-223 dichloride in subjects with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2 negative) hormone receptor positive breast cancer with bone metastases treated with hormonal treatment background therapy

This is an open-label study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of olaparib in combination with carboplatin. There are two parts in this study: Part A, a dose escalation in patients with advanced Human Epidermal Growth Factor 2 (HER-2) negative breast cancer and Part B, a dose expansion in the neoadjuvant treatment of HER-2 negative breast cancer patients with germline Breast Cancer Susceptibility Gene (BRCA)1/2 mutations.

A phase II non randomized study evaluating the role of Androgen Receptors as Targets for therapy of pre-treated postmenopausal patients with ER/PgR-negative/AR-positive or ER and/or PgR-positive/AR-positive metastatic breast cancer. Study Design: Multicentric, Open-label not randomized trial. Description of Study Treatment: Daily oral administration of DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) at the dosage of 100 mg/die in combination with a daily oral administration of anastrozole at dosage of 1 mg/die or letrozole at the dosage of 2.5 mg/die or exemestane at the dosage of 25 mg/die without interruption until discontinuation for progression of disease, unacceptable toxicity or discontinuation/withdrawal of participants from study treatment. Number of Subjects: 12 patients per group in the first step; if the number of responders is greater or equal to 2, recruitment will continue up to a total of 35 patients (per group). For the biological part, we will evaluate: Correlation between AR expression and clinical and biological features (tumor size, nodal status, histotype, grading, proliferative index, ER, PgR, HER2) Evaluation of AR expression on primitive and/or metastatic site in the two distinct populations of patients: ER/PgR- negative/ARpositive and ER-positive and/or PgR-positive/AR-positive Evaluation of ER, PgR, HER2 expression on tumor cells of metastatic site (when it is possible) and comparison with the same features of primitive tumor. CTCs analysis in term of molecular characteristics (gene expression and mutations) and functionality (vitality and tumorigenicity). Prognostic and predictive role of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) evaluated at baseline before study treatment and at the moment of discontinuation of treatment.

The purpose of this project is to examine whether treatment with vandetanib has an effect on the tumor cells in breast cancer by examining tissue markers.
