Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

Participants are asked to participate in a research study of the effect of a sleep intervention on improving sleep habits and reducing their risk of breast cancer. Participants are asked to participate in this research study because they have been identified as being at higher than average risk of developing breast cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare women who get a sleep intervention to women who do not get a sleep intervention. This study team will compare these two groups of women to see if the sleep intervention improves their sleep and if it lowers markers of inflammation that have been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.

The goal of this clinical research is to learn if an ultrasound contrast agent called OPTISON (perflutren protein type A) is effective in finding sentinel lymph nodes before surgery. Contrast agents can help make ultrasound images more accurate. The sentinel lymph node is the first node that may be the target of cancer cells that spread from the tumor.

To test the efficacy of two Traditional Chinese Medicine in preventing osteoporosis in patients receiving adjuvant endocrine therapy.

The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of a 6-month intervention (counseling) focused on weight loss in a group of overweight or obese women previously treated for early breast cancer. Intervention is designed to improve adherence to a healthy diet or/and to increase physical activity and decrease sedentary time, taking advantage of a pedometer-like device.

This phase IIb trial studies how well alternative dosing of exemestane before surgery works in treating in postmenopausal patients with stage 0-II estrogen positive breast cancer. Chemoprevention is the use of drugs to keep breast cancer from forming or coming back. The use of exemestane may treat early stage (stage 0-II) breast cancer. Comparing the exemestane standard dose regimen versus two alternative, less frequent dose regimens may decrease undesirable symptoms and have similar efficacy in reducing serum estradiol.

The development of surgical site infections (SSI) in clean-contaminated surgery is regarded as being preventable. Known to be effective in the prevention of surgical site infection are the adequate sterilization of the surgical instruments, asepsis during operation, antibiotic prophylaxis where indicated, and certainly the preparation of the skin at the incision site, since the patient's skin is the principal source of bacterial contamination of the wound. This study aims to investigate the efficacy in prevention of surgical site infection in clean surgery, using two different standardized methods of skin preparation: povidone-iodine 10% aqueous solution from 1.5 liter bulk bottle, versus tinted 2% chlorhexidine in 70% isopropyl alcohol in a single-dose applicator. To reduce the variables involved, a single-center study will enroll a homogeneous population, undergoing breast cancer surgery.

The primary purpose of this research study is to see whether adding bavituximab (an investigational drug) to the standard chemotherapy drug taxane, will improve the results of the treatment for early- stage Triple Negative Breast Cancer followed by Standard- of- Care surgery

Primary purpose of the clinical study is to evaluate the safety, biodistribution and radiation dosimetry of [131I]-SGMIB Anti-HER2 VHH1 in healthy volunteers and patients with HER2+ breast cancer. Secondary purpose of the clinical study is to evaluate the tumor uptake of [131I]-SGMIB Anti-HER2 VHH1 in patients with HER2+ breast cancer.

Double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter pilot study on efficacy and safety of CBLB612 following single administration for neutropenia prophylaxis in breast cancer patients receiving doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide myelosuppressive chemotherapy

Preclinical data has demonstrated that entinostat (SNDX-275) can enhance fulvestrant sensitivity in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in animal models. The addition of entinostat to fulvestrant will provide clinical benefit to patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast when compared to fulvestrant plus placebo. Also, based on previous data, patients exposed to entinostat who demonstrate an elevated level of protein lysine acetylation will have an improved efficacy outcome.
