Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Preference studies reveal how individuals trade-off the potential benefits, harms and inconveniences of a treatment by determining the minimum benefits they judge sufficient to make the treatment worthwhile. They are especially relevant to adjuvant therapies where individuals must weigh up modest survival benefits only realized in time by no recurrence of their cancer with side effects predominantly experienced whilst on the treatment. Previously it was reported, for example, that over 50% of women who had adjuvant chemotherapy for early breast cancer judged a 1% improvement in 5 year survival rates sufficient to make it worthwhile. Larger survival benefits were required for longer duration adjuvant hormonal therapy where over 50% of women required at least 5% improvement in 5 year survival rates to make it worthwhile.

This trial studies treatment effects on development of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with cancer. Treatments for cancer can cause a problem to the nervous system (called peripheral neuropathy) that can lead to tingling or less feeling in hands and feet. Studying certain risk factors, such as age, gender, pre-existing conditions, and the type of treatment for cancer may help doctors estimate how likely patients are to develop the nerve disorder.

Joint symptoms including stiffness, local pain and aches are common adverse reactions among breast cancer (BC) patients undergoing hormone treatments, while effective interventions for managing such symptoms have not been well explored so far. Acupuncture can be a promising approach to controlling joint symptoms in BC patients but current research evidence generated from several small-scale clinical studies have not been robust enough to support the use of acupuncture for cancer symptom management in routine practice. The overall aim of the research project is to examine the effectiveness of a 6-week acupuncture protocol for the management of joint symptoms in Chinese female BC patients who are currently undergoing hormone treatments following the completion of taxane-based chemotherapy. Given the lack of available data regarding the prevalence of joint symptoms in BC patients in mainland China, a large cross-sectional survey will also be performed to examine the incidence of joint symptoms among Chinese BC patients in mainland China and the impact of joint symptoms on patients' quality of life.

This trial will study SGN-CD47M to find out whether it is an effective treatment for different types of solid tumors and what side effects (unwanted effects) may occur. The study will have two parts. Part A of the study will find out how much SGN-CD47M should be given for treatment and how often. Part B of the study will use the dose found in Part A and look at how safe and effective the treatment is.

The main objective of the trial is to determine the efficacy of doxorubicin-loaded anti-EGFR immunoliposomes as first-line therapy in patients with advanced triple Negative, EGFR positive breast cancer. In this proof of concept trial, all patients will have an administration of the doxorubicin-loaded anti-EGFR immunoliposomes (anti-EGFR-IL-dox) every 28 days, until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of rebastinib when combined with antitubulin therapy with paclitaxel or eribulin in patients with advanced breast cancer.

This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled study of desvenlafaxine versus placebo. The purpose of this study is to determine if desvenlafaxine was effective in decreasing the frequency and severity of hot flashes in breast cancer patients taking tamoxifen.

A single centre, single arm phase II study of alternating eribulin and hormonal therapy in 12 patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have received at least one hormonal therapy and at least one chemotherapy in the metastatic setting.

Lymphoscintigraphy is a noninvasive，accurate and effective imaging modality. In this study, it is used to investigate the imaging characteristics of patients'upper limb lymphatic drainage before operation, and the influence of operation on it.

To characterize the safety and tolerability, identify recommended doses and regimens for future studies, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and anti-tumor activity of LSZ102 as a single agent and in combination with either LEE011 or BYL719 in adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic ER+ breast cancer who have progressed after endocrine therapy.
