Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Patients with locally recurrent BRCA1-like, HER2-negative breast cancer that cannot be treated with curative intent by local treatment (surgery, radiotherapy +/- hyperthermia) or patients with metastatic BRCA1-like, HER2-negative breast cancer that have received a maximum of one prior line of treatment for incurable disease will be treated with Niraparib until disease progression

This study describes the survival outcomes of advanced stage breast, colorectal, ovarian and pancreatic cancer patients receiving advanced integrative oncology (AIO) treatment at participating North American integrative oncology clinics. This study also aims to describe the integrative treatments recommended by naturopathic doctors (NDs) for these participants alongside their conventional care treatments. Sub-studies will evaluate health-related quality of life, cost of cancer care, and qualitative experience of care in a subset of Canadian participants.

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects and best dose onalespib when given together with paclitaxel in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Onalespib works by blocking proper processing of proteins that are important for cancer growth. This results in inability of these proteins to work properly. Paclitaxel kills breast cancer cells by interfering with their ability to divide. Giving onalespib together with paclitaxel may be better than giving either one alone in treating patients with breast cancer.

This is a 2-part, Phase 1 FIH study with Phase 1a designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in subjects with metastatic cancers with a human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) test result that is in situ hybridization (ISH) positive (+) or immunohistochemistry (IHC) 3+ or 2+, and Phase 1b designed to assess anticancer activity and safety in three expansion cohorts: two different advanced breast cancer expansion cohorts (namely, for tumors that test as HER2 ISH positive or IHC3+ and for tumors that test as HER2 ISH negative with IHC 2+), and one advanced gastric cancer expansion cohort (for tumors that test as HER2 ISH positive or IHC3+).

This is a multicenter, open-label study in participants with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) to study the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of SC-005. This study consists of 2 parts: Part A (dose regimen finding) followed by Part B (dose expansion).

This is an international, multi-centre, non-controlled, open-label, single arm, two-stage Simon Design phase II study for non-BRCA metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients with homologous recombination deficiency treated with Olaparib single agent. The main objective is to assess the efficacy of olaparib single agent as determined by Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). In the first stage Triple negative (TN) non-BRCA, metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients whose tumours exhibited any characteristic related to homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). In the second stage, luminal patients (RH positive HER2 negative) will be allowed in the same conditions that TN. Patients whose tumours are identified as Homologous Recombination Deficient by deleterious HRR gene mutations (according to Foundation Medicine's Foundation One assay) will receive olaparib 300 mg (two tablets of 150mg) orally twice daily (bid) on days 1-28 each 28 days. Study commitment is 39 patients: 17 patients will be enrolled at first stage and 22 at the second stage. The total duration of the study period is 34 months.

This phase Ib trial studies the best way of TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 and cyclophosphamide in treating patients with a solid tumor that has spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body (metastatic), progressed for a long time (persistent), come back (recurrent), or is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressed). TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, 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. Giving TLR8 Agonist VTX-2337 together with cyclophosphamide may be a better treatment for solid tumors.

This disease registry is a prospective, multicenter non-interventional study designed to observe anti-cancer treatment regimens and clinical outcomes in participants with HER2-positive unresectable locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) or metastatic breast cancer (MBC).

Brain metastases are the most common intracranial malignancy occurring in 20-40% of all cancers, and the presence of CNS metastases is associated with a poor prognosis. As such, the median overall survival of patients with symptomatic brain lesions is a dismal 2-3 months regardless of tumor type. Because standard chemotherapy largely does not cross the blood brain barrier at a meaningful concentration, standard treatment is limited and usually involves surgical resection and/or stereotactic radiosurgery for isolated lesions and whole brain radiation for multiple lesions. Unfortunately, the median overall survival is only improved by about 6 months with this multimodality approach2, and there is a paucity of second-line therapies to treat recurrence. Furthermore, re-resection and re-radiation are often not feasible options due to concern for increasing complications or neurotoxicity, respectively. Thus, there is a dire clinical need for additional treatment options for this patient population. Checkpoint blockade therapy, in particular PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibition, has recently shown clinical efficacy in multiple types of solid tumors. The investigators propose to study the efficacy of checkpoint blockade therapy in patients with solid tumors and refractory/recurrent brain metastases. The investigators will assess the efficacy of MEDI4736, a novel PD-L1 inhibitory monoclonal antibody, in this study.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer among Canadian women with nearly 26,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Fortunately, advancements in diagnostic tools and curative treatments have significantly improved overall survival. However, the development of cardiac toxicity (including asymptomatic and symptomatic heart failure) associated with use of anthracycline containing chemotherapy and targeted therapies including trastuzumab limits improvements in survival for women with breast cancer. Cardiac toxicity is a life threatening complication that leads to reduced physical functioning and quality of life. The increased risk is associated with shared risk factors among cancer and heart failure and the direct influence of cancer therapy on the cardiovascular system. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) (including exercise training and education/counselling) has been shown to improve health outcomes, reduce heart failure related hospitalizations and modestly improve mortality among individuals with non-treatment related heart failure and may benefit women with breast cancer and treatment related cardiac toxicity (BC-CT). Therefore, this single centre, randomized control trial aims to determine if participation in an exercise based CR program can improve cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiovascular function/structure and health, and quality of life among women with BC-CT.
