Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

The goal of this study is to evaluate an educational video intervention (called Starting the Conversation) aimed to enhance breast cancer patients' beliefs about and communication with respect to sexual concerns. In the current study, 128 breast cancer outpatients will be randomized to either participate in the video intervention and to receive a resource guide addressing sexual and menopausal health or to receive the resource guide alone. Patients will be asked to participate in the video and/or read through the resource guide prior to their clinic visit with their breast cancer provider. The investigators will examine effects of the interventions on patients' beliefs about communication about sexual health and on patients' communication about sexual health during clinic visits with their providers. Secondarily, the investigators will examine effects of the interventions on sexual outcomes and other health outcomes, including psychological well-being and health-related QOL.

This study aims to investigate the effect of a mobile community based on a smart phone application to enhance physical activities of breast cancer survivors.

This is an open-label, multicenter study in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are candidates for standard first line treatment with palbociclib or ribociclib plus endocrine therapy. To be eligible, patients must have received no prior chemotherapeutic or hormonal regimen for metastatic disease. However, patients may still be considered eligible if they have already started treatment with endocrine therapy (an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant) plus palbociclib or ribociclib for no longer than 4 weeks prior to study enrollment, as long as they meet all other eligibility criteria. Eligible patients must have had a diagnostic biopsy of the metastatic lesion no more than 4 months prior to study enrollment and with sufficient tissue to complete the proposed biomarker analysis. Patients who develop disease progression within the first 12 months of starting palbociclib or ribociclib plus endocrine therapy will be eligible for an optional additional tissue biopsy at time of disease progression to repeat the analysis at time of disease progression and obtain real-time (10-14-day turn-around) multi-omic data produced under College of American Pathologist (CAP)/Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) development and/or compliant practices.

This randomized phase III trial studies how well oxybutynin chloride works in managing hot flashes in patients who are not candidates for, or not interested in hormone replacement therapy. Previous studies have shown that oxybutynin is effective in managing hot flashes, however doses used in prior studies have resulted in side effects. This trial is evaluating lower doses of oxybutynin with the goal of determining if they are efficacious with less side effects. ADAM-VTE

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of two exercise programs: 1) one program will be at low intensity; 2) the other program will be at moderate intensity. One hundred forty two women who are breast cancer survivors will be recruited. Participants will be educated on a home exercise program to be performed at either low or moderate intensity, according to group assignment. Evaluations to participants will consist of function and quality of life.

This study will evaluate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, and biologic activity of giredestrant in participants with Stage I-III operable estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, untreated breast cancer.

The objective of the proposed study is to evaluate an Intimacy Enhancement (IE) intervention in 120 female early stage breast cancer survivors reporting sexual concerns and their intimate partners. Couples will be randomized 1:1 to receive either the IE intervention or to an information and support condition (Living Healthy Together). The investigators will evaluate intervention effects on patient and partner sexual, relationship, and psychological outcomes.

The objective of this trial is to conduct a two-arm, randomized controlled trial (RCT) of SDM Treatment Plans (TPs) delivered at the time of decision-making compared to standard oncology care (delayed delivery of standard-of-care TPs) to determine impact on SDM. The intervention will be piloted in a RCT with 140 early stage breast cancer (EBC) and 140 metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients to assess impact. Subjects will be enrolled across two sites. Our primary outcome will be the increase in percentage of patients reporting a perception of shared decision-making. Aim.1: The primary outcome will be to evaluate the impact of the SDM intervention on the percentage of patients perceiving shared or greater role in decision-making. Aim 2: To evaluate the impact of the SDM intervention on provider outcomes including the percentage of providers perceiving SDM with the patient, number of treatment options offered to patients, the proportion of times that clinical trials are offered to patients, the use of NCCN guideline-based treatment, and self-report of treatment plan use. Aim 3: Secondary fidelity and provider outcomes from audio recording will include whether providers elicit: any patient preferences during treatment planning, preferences related to physical side effects or efficacy, or preferences related to other aspects of the patient experience. We will also assess whether providers use the TP in the decision-making discussion and whether providers discuss or offer clinical trials to the patient.

Late effects of breast cancer treatment are widely reported including deteriorating fitness, fatigue, loss of muscle and bone mass, and increased body fat percentage. Exercise interventions may ameliorate a number of these effects including fatigue, fitness and improve quality of life. However only limited knowledge exists on the potential of novel interventions and settings, such as sports outside the hospital setting, to improve late effects of breast cancer treatment. The 'Football Fitness After Breast Cancer' (FF ABC) study is a randomized trial comparing the effects of a football training intervention with standard treatment approaches on fitness, bone mineralization, body composition, muscle strength, blood pressure, and patient-reported outcomes in women treated for breast cancer.

The investigators hypothesize that a personalized yoga program with mindful movement implemented during breast cancer therapy will benefit women in multiple ways. The investigators predict that women participating in the program will experience less weight gain and fatigue and will have an improved quality of life compared to women not participating in the program. The investigators predict that this will be associated with decreased markers of inflammation. The investigators will also evaluate whether there is improved pathologic response rate compared to historical controls. This study will provide pilot data for a larger randomized controlled trial assessing whether program can provide long-term improvement in quality of life, weight maintenance, and the serum and tumor changes correlating with a reduced risk of recurrence and mortality.
