Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This study will test the preliminary efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to improve fatigue and cognition in women with a history of breast cancer and persistent fatigue.

This is an open label, single arm, multi-centre phase II study to assess the anti-tumour activity and safety of bemcentinib (BGB324) in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with previously treated, locally advanced and unresectable, or metastatic TNBC or TN-IBC. The primary objective is objective response rate.

CONTESSA is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, Phase 3 study of tesetaxel in patients with HER2 negative, HR positive LA/MBC previously treated with a taxane in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting. The primary objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of tesetaxel plus a reduced dose of capecitabine versus the approved dose of capecitabine alone based on progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by the Independent Radiologic Review Committee (IRC). 685 patients were enrolled.

This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2 study in postmenopausal women with heregulin positive, hormone receptor positive, HER2 negative metastatic, unresectable breast cancer.

This research trial studies genetic profiles in blood and tumor samples from patients with estrogen receptor positive and HER2 negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body who are receiving palbociclib and endocrine therapy. Examining the genetic changes associated with the cancer and comparing the genetic material from the cancer tissue with the genetic material found in the blood may help doctors to develop customized treatment for breast cancer.

Our study evaluates the use of Laser-Assisted Immunotherapy (LIT) plus placebo and LIT plus low-dose cyclophosphamide versus that of Standard of Care in patients presenting with Stage IIIA, IIIB or IV breast cancer. One-third of enrolled patients will receive LIT plus placebo, one-third will receive LIT plus low-dose cyclophosphamide, and one-third will be assigned to a control group that receives Standard of Care.

Fulvestrant 500mg in Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer

This phase Ib trial studies the best dose and side effects of eribulin mesylate when given together with M7824)in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as eribulin mesylate, 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. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as M7824, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving eribulin mesylate and M7824 may work better at treating triple negative breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how to treat patients with a diagnosis of diagnosis of Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2/neu (HER-2/neu) positive breast cancer in the past, who were previously treated with HER-2/neu-directed dendritic cells (DC) vaccines. There is evidence that the use of anti-HER2 dendritic cell (DC) study vaccines could improve response to breast cancer therapy and be an important step in the prevention of recurrence. This study will use a Dendritic Cell Type 1 (DC1) vaccine which is a HER2-sensitized dendritic cell (DC) study vaccine. Dendritic cells are immune cells that can tell the participant's immune system to fight infection. This study vaccine will be made from the participant's blood cells collected from a procedure called leukapheresis.

Breast cancer is the most frequent type of cancer among Swiss women (5'700 cases diagnosed every year). Mastectomy is indicated when breast conservative surgery is not possible or by patient wish. Axillary lymph nodes dissection (ALND) is indicated primarily for node-positive breast cancer. Postoperative seroma after mastectomy and axillary clearance is a common complication, occurring in 25 to more than 60% of patients with breast cancer. After mastectomy and/or ALND conventional wound closure commonly uses suction drain to prevent seroma. However, seroma frequently occurs after drain removal. Excessive fluid accumulation in seroma stretches the skin, resulting in patient discomfort, impaired ipsilateral shoulder function and higher risk of surgical site infection and prolongs the hospitalization. In rare cases, a fibrous encapsulated seroma is resistant to conservative treatment and requires surgical resection. Thus, seroma may also impact health care costs requiring longer hospital stay or unplanned outpatient visits and may delay adjuvant therapy. Recent data suggest that quilting suture through flap fixation reduces the incidence of seroma. Therefore, quilting suture has the potential to increase patients' quality of life, as well as to shorten the length of hospital stay and to reduce hospital costs, providing the rationale for this study.The aim of our project is to compare the efficacy of quilting suture with that of conventional closure without quilting in reducing the drainage quantity, the length of hospitalisation and the prevalence of seroma following mastectomy and/or axilla for breast cancer, as well as the patient reported pain increasing patient quality of life. The final goal is the omission of axillary drainage in the future. All randomised patients will be followed for 12 weeks. Patients will fill in 2 questionnaires (EQ5-D: European Quality of Life and Brief Pain Inventory: BPI). The Health Economic Analysis form (HEA) will be completed by the investigator collecting the patient data. Total duration of study: 2.5 years. There are 2 treatments groups 50% of the study participants will be treated with quilting suture and 50% with conventional closure. Patients are randomly divided into the 2 groups. All patients are blinded to the surgical treatment.This means that they do not know which surgical treatment they have received (quilting suture or conventional closure), The operating surgeon will not see the after the operation. Seroma assessment will be performed by other medical personnel, that do not know which surgical treatment has been given. In case of seroma a physician (not the operating surgeon) will perform the aspiration of seroma if needed.
