Active clinical trials for "Breast Neoplasms"

This is a prospective, single center, single arm phase II study designed to explore the efficacy and safety of surufatinib + fulvastrant + chidamide combinational treatment in HR positive breast cancer refractory to endocrine therapy.

This trial is a Phase II study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of AK117/AK112 administered with chemotherapy in participants with locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who have not received prior systemic therapy for metastatic breast cancer (mBC).

This study is to learn if the combination therapy of capmatinib and neritinib can help to control metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer. Researchers also want to find the highest tolerable dose of the combination therapy of capmatinib and neritinib that can be used in this study drug combinations. The safety of this drug combination and the CELsignia MP test methodology will also be studied.

Breast cancer is a serious and life-threatening health problem that is increasing all over the world and in Turkey. Although the survival rate increases with the improvement of the diagnosis and treatment processes for breast cancer, cancer patients experience some psychosocial problems both due to their treatment and the disease. Decreases in quality of life, psychological distress, especially depression and anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder as well as sleep disorders, fatigue, fear of cancer recurrence could be common negative outcomes that experienced by the breast cancer patients. Although, cancer could be such a life-threatening disease, some patients report that they experience positive changes in their lives after the diagnosis of cancer. The concept of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) was first developed by Tedeschi and Calhoun (1995). PTG is a concept that refers positive psychological changes after struggling an stressful life event. According to the Functional-Descriptive model of Tedeschi and Calhoun, post-traumatic growth occurs in five areas; relating to others, personal strength, spiritual changes and appreciation of life. In this context, a group intervention program has been developed for PTG, which will bring the person to a better functionality than before the trauma to enhance the Post-Traumatic Growth level of women with breast cancer. The current research project will consist of three arms; therapy group, support group and wait-list. Online group therapy consists of eight sessions that continue approximately 90 minutes. In addition to an active treatment group for PTG, an online support group has been developed by the researchers to investigate the effectiveness of the therapy. Online support group also consists of eight sessions during approximately 90 minutes as in intervention program. Wait-list is considered as a control group. A set of reliable and validated measurement tools will be administered and heart rate variability as a physical measurement will be used to examine the effects of the therapy. The research hypotheses are based on that patients who participated active treatment group will have better PTG level and other related concept with PTG (like higher score of deliberate rumination) and better Heart-Rate Variability scores than other groups. The researcher will plan to take three time measurement: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 1-month follw-up.

Evaluation of the potential incremental efficacy and safety of inavolisib in the neoadjuvant endocrine treatment of early-stage HER2-positive, HR-positive, PIK3CA mutant breast cancer.

This is a Phase II, open-label study evaluating the efficacy and safety of Cryoablation combined with Tirelizumab and Bevacizumab in liver metastatic triple-negative breast cancer patients failed by multiline therapy.

This is a phase II study testing the combination of pembrolizumab with lenvatinib, a multi-kinase inhibitor that has activity against vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1-3 (VEGFR1-3), fibroblast growth factor receptors 1-4 (FGFR1-4), ret protooncogene (RET), platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFR-alpha) and KIT (a stem cell factor receptor), and letrozole, a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor, in advanced hormone receptor (HR) positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer (BC) that has progressed on/after standard endocrine therapy.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) is standard treatment for many triple-negative (TNBC) and HER2-positive breast cancer. Study showed about half of the biopsy-proven axillary disease will be eradicated by NACT and converted to ypN0 indicating the efficacy of systemic treatment in local disease control. According to current guidelines, all initial cN0 patients will undergo sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) after NACT and further axillary dissection (ALND) if tumor residual is discovered after SLNB. Data suggest patients who underwent SLNB have a significantly higher rate of disability in the early post-operative period compared to patients who did not and the avoidance of SLNB might translate into a considerable reduction of physical and emotional distress. Recent studies revealed the association between breast pCR and ypN0 status after NACT. Initially cN0 TNBC and HER2-positive breast cancer patients who achieve pCR in breast after NACT have a very low risk of positive lymph node residual and are very unlikely to benefit from further axillary surgery including SLNB. The investigators designed a clinical trial to test the hypothesis that selective omission of axillary surgery in distinct responders after NACT will not deteriorate survival. In the planned trial, axillary surgery will be completely eliminated for initially cN0 TNBC and HER2-positive breast cancer patients who achieve pCR in breast after NACT determined by lumpectomy. The trial is designed as a prospective, single-center, single-arm study with a limited number of patients (N=136). Patients will be recruited in China over a period of 36 months. Our results, together with other ongoing studies in other parts of the world with a similar design, might give practice-changing results and spare the time and the costs of a randomized comparison.

The VENUS trial is a prospective, multicenter, noninferiority, randomized, controlled clinical trial that compares sentinel lymph node biopsy versus no axillary surgery in women with early breast cancer (tumor <5cm) and node-negative after clinical palpation and axillary ultrasound.

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of utidelone in combination with bevacizumab in the treatment of advanced breast cancer with brain metastases, and thus provides a new systemic treatment strategy for those patients.
