Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

In this study, investigators will compare standard Aerobic Training/AT with adaptive Aerobic Training/AT. Standard AT will be a fixed (unchanging) amount of walking each week, while adaptive AT will adjust the level of exercise depending on participants' response to the exercise. Investigators will see how both study approaches (standard AT and adaptive AT) affect participants' CRF.

Assess response to pembrolizumab in both primary tumor, normal breast stroma, circulating lymphocytes and serum exosomes in treatment naive triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. Assess for change in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILS) both stromal (sTILS) and intraepithelial (iTILS) in newly diagnosed early stage TNBC patients treated with two doses of MK-3475 prior to lumpectomy.

The goal of the study for patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is to show that palbociclib + endocrine therapy shows a significant improvement in time-to-treatment failure over chemotherapy regimen (mono-chemotherapy with or without endocrine therapy). This would provide level 1 evidence from real world that palbociclib plus endocrine therapy is the first choice in MBC patients needing first-line therapy not only compared to endocrine therapy but also compared to chemotherapy with or without endocrine maintenance therapy. In addition, we assume that patient-reported outcome as measured by FACT-B and a novel composite endpoint of well-being and healthcare utilization (DMTI) will be improved with palbociclib + endocrine treatment vs. chemotherapy regimen.

The goal of this research study is to determine if the investigators can predict which participants will respond to endocrine therapy and a cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor for metastatic breast cancer and which participants will not. Investigators will use information from the tumor tissue and serial blood samples. Investigators hope that a deeper understanding of which participants will respond to this combination and how resistance emerges will allow the investigators to better tailor therapies for metastatic breast cancer. Subjects will have archived tissue or new biopsy collected at study enrollment. This tissue will undergo special molecular testing. Subjects will also have blood collected at study enrollment and periodically thereafter. This blood will also undergo special molecular testing. Information from this testing will not be available to subjects or their treating physicians as the investigators do not know how this information should impact treatment. The investigators will collect information about which treatment the subjects receive and how their cancer responds. Any man or woman being seen at Johns Hopkins for treatment of newly diagnosed estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and/or progesterone receptor positive (PR+) metastatic breast cancer may be eligible.

The goal of this study is to examine the role of Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT) in Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ (DCIS) and to improve the understanding of the clinical, radiographic, and patient-related impact of adopting IORT.

This study is a non blind, randomized controlled study, whose hypothesis was that chest wall/whole breast combined regional lymph node radiotherapy can improve the 5-year disease-free survival rate of clinical high-risk pN0 breast cancer patients.

The primary objective of this study is to determine if sulindac at a dose of 150 mg twice a day for 12 months reduces breast density in postmenopausal women at elevated risk of breast cancer when compared to a placebo control.

In the case of primary surgery, in patients with sentinel node involvement, it has already been shown that omitting axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), often combining axillary radiotherapy (RT), does not worsen the prognosis and does significantly reduce the appearance of lymphedema. However, patients who have received neoadjuvant systemic treatment cannot benefit from this option, even though in the majority of those who have responded well to treatment, a residual disease in the armpit is low, but there are no studies yet published that supports the possibility of not performing lymphadenectomy. The primary endpoint is to evaluate wether axillary radiotherapy (ART) presents a lower risk of lymphedema with respect to lymphadenectomy (ALND) in patients with breast cancer who, after neoadjuvant systemic treatment (NST), present the sentinel node affected. Likewise, we will evaluate recurrences and overall survival in both groups. Finally, we will analyze the quality of life of these patients.

The goal of this study is to access whether treatment of early state estrogen-rich breast cancers with neoadjuvant endocrine therapy will result in higher rates of margin negativity on lumpectomy specimen.

This is a prospective, single arm, open-label, unicenter, exploratory study in women with primary operable HER2-positive, HER2-enriched/ERBB2-high breast cancer according to PAM50 intrinsic subtype and a ERBB2 pre-defined cutoff (high vs low ERBB2 expression), to evaluate the omission of surgery and sentinel lymph node dissection in patients with HER2-E and ERBB2 high breast cancer who achieving a complete response following standard anti-HER2-based neoadjuvant therapy with paclitaxel/trastuzumab/pertuzumab. The primary trial objective is to estimate the loco-regional invasive disease-free survival at 3-year of patients who achieve a complete response based on imaging (i.e. Magnetic resonance imaging) and a stereotactic-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy, and omit loco-regional surgery.
