Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This study is designed to determine the impact of a novel genetic counseling method on surgical decisions in individuals with newly diagnosed breast cancer This research study involves an expedited and surgery-specific form of genetic counseling. The names of the study methods involved in this trial are/is: Quantitative genetic counseling (discussion is guided by tables and graphs) Standard genetic counseling

Patients with metastatic breast cancer may respond well to treatment and metastases can remain stable for several years. Despite personalised medicine being increasingly used for diagnosis and treatment, follow-up still include radiological response evaluation every 3-4 months, which renders a significant number of 'unnecessary' exams for patients with long-term stable disease. Increasing evidence indicates that tumour markers such as circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA), thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) and cancer antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) may be useful for disease monitoring in the metastatic setting. However, algorithms that accurately define the time-points at which imaging can be foregone or reinstituted when progression is forecast, have not been developed. This study will measure ctDNA, TK1 and CA15-3 at all imaging time-points. The primary aim is to develop an algorithm based on these biomarkers, alone or in combination, that with sufficient specificity and sensitivity can advise whether a scan can be safely admitted at a specific time-point, for patients with MBC receiving first line therapy with AI plus cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i). Additional samples will be stored such that novel biomarkers can also be tested in future. The cost-effectiveness of using the devised biomarker protocol will be evaluated.

To provide evidence on the antidepressant efficacy of two therapeutic treatments: pharmacological treatment (citalopram) and psychotherapy treatment, in women diagnosed with breast cancer and major depression.

This study aims to elicit patient experiences, choices, and side effects associated with the COVID-19 vaccine after breast cancer surgery. Lymph node swelling is a known and common side effect of both the Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines. This is the body's normal reaction to the vaccine. It is worrisome that lymph node swelling after the vaccine mimics that found in breast cancer which has spread to the lymph nodes. This side effect will cause worry and anxiety amongst patients as a result. For patients who have had lymph node removal (axillary lymph node dissection or sentinel lymph node biopsy) and are at risk of lymphedema, the investigators are concerned that the lymph node swelling may tax the lymphatic system and incite lymphedema in those at risk or worsen it in those with BCRL. Fear of lymphedema is high in this population and the investigators need to better understand what risk, if any, lymph node swelling after the COVID-19 vaccine imparts to BCRL risk.

This trial is being conducted to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the effect the body has on the drug), and pharmacodynamics (the effect the drug has on the body) of GMI-1359 when given with standard-of-care treatment to subjects with HR+ metastatic breast cancer.

The purpose of this study is to find out if pelareorep in combination with different therapies helps to reduce the growth of breast cancer cells and increase the immune system's response to cancer. This study will also help to understand what this treatment does to the tumor. In addition, the safety of the combination treatments with pelareorep will be evaluated.

This study is a Phase 1b open label, single arm, adaptive multi-centre trial of copanlisib in combination with trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in pretreated locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer who previously received trastuzumab and a taxane, separately or in combination, will be treated with copanlisib (to the dose escalation scheme) plus trastuzumab emtansine 3.6mg/kg IV on day 1 of a 21-day cycle.

This trial will study SGN-CD228A to find out whether it is an effective treatment for different kinds of cancer. It will also look at what side effects (unwanted effects) may occur. The study will have two parts. Part 1 of the study will find out how much SGN-CD228A should be given for treatment and how often. Part 2 of the study will use the dose found in Part 1 and look at how safe and effective the treatment is.

the aim of this study is to verify whether manual therapy associated with kinesiotherapy is more effective than kinesiotherapy alone in the treatment of chronic pain and upper limb dysfunction in women surviving cancer of mama. It is a randomized controlled double blind clinical trial (evaluator and patient), parallel in two groups (Intervention Group and Sham Group). The intervention will last 6 weeks and chronic pain and upper limb functionality will be evaluated. Both groups will undergo a kinesiotherapy program once a week for 6 consecutive weeks. Also, participants in the intervention group will receive, once a week, a manual therapy protocol, while participants in the Sham group will receive traditional massage. Manual therapy associated with kinesiotherapy is expected to yield superior results to the isolated kinesiotherapy in chronic pain and upper limb functionality.

The Aim of this study is to validate a treatment of anastrozole in combination with tegafur-uracil as pre-operative therapy for postmenopausal primary breast cancer. Although pre-operative hormone therapy is a novel therapeutic approach, only hormone therapy has limitation in terms of efficacy. Metronomic chemotherapy, which is the frequent administration of low-dose cytotoxic agents, is not only target tumor cells but also inhibiting angiogenesis. Because there was a report that efficacy of hormone therapy add to metronomic chemotherapy as pre-operative therapy, a randomized phase II trial of anastrozole (ANA) in combination with/without metronomic tegafur-uracil (UFT) as neo-adjuvant for postmenopausal breast cancer will be conducted.
