Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

BRCA-DIRECT is a pragmatic, randomised, non-inferiority evaluation that aims to evaluate whether digital delivery of pre-test information for BRCA-testing in breast cancer patients is non-inferior to current standard practice of 1:1 delivery from a healthcare professional as measured by rate of uptake of the genetic testing.

Up to 78% of women diagnosed with breast cancer experience impairments in their cognitive function (e.g., frequent forgetfulness, slow processing speeds, and difficulties in concentration, multitasking and/or word retrieval) in the course of cancer treatment. These cognitive impairments (CI) have negative effects on patients' social relationships, overall life satisfaction, and treatment adherence. Dietary intake may be an important factor in mitigating risk of CI that breast cancer patients experience. Several studies have suggested that dietary intake of specific nutrients and foods (e.g., carotenoids, B-vitamin, and omega-3 fatty acids rich foods) can be helpful to decrease the severity of cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). High-quality dietary patterns can be also helpful to protect white matter volume and its integrity; damage to and changes in white matter contributes to CRCI. However, despite the high incidence of CRCI in breast cancer patients, very little is known about etiology of CRCI. Thus, the purpose of this observational study with cross-sectional design is to examine the relationships of diet with brain structural and functional outcomes of breast cancer patients. The study will aim to enroll 30 female postmenopausal breast cancer survivors (age 45-75) who have recently completed chemotherapy treatment within 3-12 months from study enrollment. Participants will complete study questionnaires online, and will have an in-person study visit to complete a functional magnetic resonance imagine (MRI) scan, cognitive testing, and blood sample collection via fingerstick and venous blood draw. It is expected that this study will advance the field's understanding and ability to early assess, manage, and prevent CRCI.

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a mobile app for Black/African American breast cancer survivors and their relatives, called Move Together, that promotes sitting less and moving more for better health.

This is a transversal monocentric study comparing two groups of women (group 1, patient group : patients who have been treated for a breast cancer with taxane-based chemotherapy ; group 2, control group : healthy volunteers). The aim of this study is to evaluate if a difference exists regarding the maximal isometric muscle strength between group 1 and 2.

The aim of this study is to understand the strategies for adapting postural control in patients who have received chemotherapy treatment for gynaecological cancer.

This phase I trial evaluates how well a mobile device-based breast cancer survivorship interactive care plan works in monitoring symptoms and recovery in patients with stage 0-III breast cancer. The interactive care plan provides patients with individualized, 'just in time' education materials to promote self-management for those reporting difficult to control symptoms, as well as escalations to contact their care team for signs or symptoms concerning for cancer coming back (recurrence). The interactive care plan may help alleviate the symptoms of fatigue, insomnia, hot flashes, and sexual dysfunction; increase physical activity level and improve quality of life in patients with breast cancer.

To evaluate the prescription patterns and treatment outcomes of subsequent therapies after progression on palbociclib in the real world.

The main goal of the study is to evaluate sleep disorders in breast cancer patients prior to and during a course of radiotherapy in terms of severity of sleep disorders, distress for the patients and use of sleeping drugs, in order to evaluate the potential effect of habituation to radiotherapy during the course of treatment and generate hypotheses thereof. The patients will be asked to complete a questionnaire prior to radiotherapy, after 5 and 15 fractions of radiotherapy, and at the end of radiotherapy. The questionnaire includes questions regarding symptoms, distress, sleep disorders and sleeping drugs. In addition, a questionnaire regarding the use of smartphones / tablets will be completed prior to radiotherapy. Forty-eight patients with documented start of radiotherapy and with a documented completed questionnaire at baseline and at least one completed questionnaire after start of radiotherapy should be subjected to statistical analysis. Assuming that 5% of patients do not fulfil these requirements, a total of 51 patients should be enrolled to this study.

Hormone therapy is the primary treatment option for patients with HR+ HER2- breast cancer. Despite its activity, hormone therapy is associated with initial, or more frequently acquired, resistance after exposure to one or more treatment lines. The combination of palbociclib with hormone therapy significantly increases progression free survival (PFS) compared with hormone therapy in first and second treatment line of HR+ HER2- advanced breast cancer. These results lead to palbociclib approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2015, and European Medicines Agency (EMA) approval in November 2016 for first-line treatment of patients with metastatic HR+/HER2-breast cancer in combination with an aromatase inhibitor, and for patients who had previously received hormone therapy in combination with fulvestrant. In Spain, palbociclib was launched last November 1st, 2017. During this period, approximately 3500 patients have received treatment with Palbociclib, and approximately a half of them in first-line treatment in combination with hormone therapy. The collection of efficacy and toxicity data in the first-line usage in the clinical practice setting is of clinical interest.

retrospective non-interventional study (NIS) that aims to describe the demographics, clinical characteristics, clinical outcomes, and treatment patterns, among patients receiving palbociclib for the treatment of HR+/HER2- metastatic/locally advanced breast cancer (BC)
