Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety and patient-reported outcomes of trastuzumab emtansine plus atezolizumab compared with trastuzumab emtansine plus placebo in participants with HER2-positive and PD-L1-positive LABC or MBC.Participants must have progressed either during or after prior trastuzumab- (+/- pertuzumab) and taxane-based therapy for LABC/MBC; or during (or within 6 months after completing) trastuzumab- (+/-pertuzumab) and taxane-based therapy in the neoadjuvant and/or adjuvant setting.

This study will test the use of focused ultrasound ablation, low-dose gemcitabine (a chemotherapy) and the combination of focused ultrasound ablation plus low-dose gemcitabine in patients with early-stage breast cancers. We will be testing the effects of each of these regimens on cells in the immune system. We hypothesize that the combination of focused ultrasound ablation and gemcitabine will decrease myeloid-derived suppressor cells and will increase T cell activity. We also hypothesize that focused ultrasound ablation and low-dose gemcitabine will be safe and will result in non-inferior surgical completion rates and tumor margin assessments.

Breast conserving surgery (BCS) is performed on patients with breast cancer to resect and completely remove the cancer while conserving as much of the surrounding healthy tissue as possible. Current methods do not allow surgeons to determine the completeness of surgical resection in real-time. This often results in the need for a second surgical procedure, or in some cases more than two surgical procedures in order to have confidence that all cancer has been removed. This Phase 3 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the fluorescent imaging agent PD G 506 A for the real-time visualization of cancer during standard of care breast conserving surgery. PD G 506 A is an investigational drug which is converted in the body into a fluorescent molecule that accumulates in cancer cells. Patients receiving PD G 506 A will undergo standard of care breast conserving surgery followed by fluorescence imaging and removal of any potentially cancerous tissue left behind in the surgical cavity.

This is an open-label, randomized, window-of-opportunity phase 2 clinical study evaluating the biological activity of preoperative Stereotactic Body RadioTherapy (SBRT) alone (Arm 1), and combined with subcutaneous (SC) followed by intra-tumoral (IT) administrations of CMP-001 (Arm 2), in subjects with early stage TNBC. Safety and efficacy of the treatments are also examined. The main hypothesis that the study treatment induces an increase in stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) will be explored in each arm separately. The study is designed as a randomized selection study, with randomization used to address patient selection bias while each arm is run as an independent study. No formal statistical comparison between the two arms is planned. 40 patients will be equally (1:1) randomized in this study (20 per arm).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab (an engineered anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-1] antibody) plus chemotherapy vs placebo plus chemotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy in participants with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to Arm A (camrelizumab +chemotherapy) or Arm B (placebo + chemotherapy).

Phase 1, first-in-human, open label study of CAR macrophages in HER2 overexpressing solid tumors.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is biologically aggressive and has limited systemic treatment options, often compounded by treatment resistance. Cell state transitions, e.g. epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) govern cancer cell behaviour. The investigators hypothesize that by inducing change in cell state change, TNBC cells that have manifested taxane-resistance will be more sensitized to subsequent chemotherapy.

Open label first-in-human study of TH1902 in solid cancer, with 4 sequential parts: Part 1 (dose escalation): patients with recurrent advanced solid tumors (all comers) that have relapsed or are refractory to standard chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy, and for which no known effective therapies exist. Part 2 (expansion): selected patient populations with recurrent advanced TNBC, HR+ breast cancer, epithelial ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, cutaneous melanoma, thyroid cancer, SCLC, prostate cancer and other cancers known to express SORT1 that are refractory to standard therapy. Part 3 (optimization): patients diagnosed with histologically or cytologically confirmed high grade serous ovarian cancer, including high grade peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer, or high grade endometrioid cancer, that is refractory or resistant to standard therapies, should not be considered platinum sensitive, and where current therapy is not considered to be providing benefit. Part 4 (basket expansion): selected cancer type diagnosed with histologically or cytologically confirmed cancers, where TH1902 has been studied and/or showed activity (in Parts 1 to 3), that is refractory or resistant to standard therapies, and where current therapy is not considered to be providing benefit.

RATIONALE: It is now standard for most breast cancer patients with 1-2 positive sentinel nodes to avoid completion node dissection when eligibility criteria from the American College of Surgeons Oncology Group (ACOSOG) Z0011 trial are met. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recently proposed to extend this indication to patients that present with biopsy proven node positive disease if only 1 or 2 suspicious nodes are found on imaging, these positive nodes are not palpable clinically, and the other eligibility criteria from the Z0011 study are otherwise met. However, this recommendation is based on an expert consensus and no study has yet confirmed the optimal method to stage the axilla in this patient population. PURPOSE: Evaluate the technical success rate and accuracy of sentinel node biopsy (SNB) and the potential benefits of clipping and removing the biopsy proven node using radioactive seed localisation (RSL) (SNB+RSL = Targeted Axillary Dissection (TAD)) in patients with biopsy proven positive nodes, limited nodal disease in imaging and clinically negative axillary examination.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether adding pembrolizumab, with or without olaparib, to standard radiation therapy is a safe and effective treatment for metastatic breast cancer, , and to see whether the study treatment is better than, the same as, or worse than the usual approach (radiation therapy alone).
