NCT02639208
The number of patients 60 and older with breast cancer is increasing as our population ages. Despite the fact that the majority of breast cancers occur in patients 60 and over, these patients are consistently under-represented in clinical trials. Because patients 60 and older are an under-studied group, investigators do not have detailed information on the side effects and experiences for these patients receiving chemotherapy. Understanding the side effects patients receiving chemotherapy experience is an important part of this study. In addition, past research has shown that having poor social support can affect quality of life, mood, and outcomes for people with cancer. However, few studies in the past have focused on improving the quality of life and support systems that patients have while they receive treatment. This research study is evaluating how engaging in an online support community may improve the experience of older patients receiving chemotherapy.
NCT03952325
CONTESSA TRIO is a multi-cohort, multicenter, Phase 2 study of tesetaxel, an investigational, orally administered taxane, in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In Cohort 1, approximately 200 patients with triple-negative MBC who have not received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive tesetaxel plus either: (1) nivolumab; (2) pembrolizumab; or (3) atezolizumab. The primary efficacy endpoints for Cohort 1 are objective response rate (ORR) and progression free survival (PFS) in patients with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive status. In Cohort 2, approximately 60 elderly patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) negative MBC who have not received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease will receive tesetaxel monotherapy. The primary efficacy endpoints for Cohort 2 are ORR and PFS in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative disease. In Cohort 3, approximately 60 non-elderly adult patients with HER2-negative MBC who have not received prior chemotherapy for advanced disease will receive tesetaxel monotherapy. The primary efficacy endpoints for Cohort 3 are ORR and PFS in patients with HR positive, HER2-negative disease.
NCT03858972
CONTESSA 2 is a multinational, multicenter, Phase 2 study of tesetaxel in patients with HER2 negative, HR positive, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (LA/MBC) not previously treated with a taxane. The primary objective of the study is to establish the efficacy of tesetaxel plus a reduced dose of capecitabine based on objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by an Independent Radiologic Review Committee (IRC). 152 patients were enrolled.
NCT02435680
To determine whether MCS110 antibody therapy improves the efficacy of carboplatin and gemcitabine (carbo/gem) in advanced TNBC patients
NCT00878709
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether neratinib can further reduce the risk of recurrence from previously diagnosed HER-2 positive breast cancer after adjuvant treatment with trastuzumab.
NCT00004067
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and paclitaxel, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy plus trastuzumab is more effective than combination chemotherapy alone for treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well giving combination chemotherapy together with trastuzumab works compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating women with node-positive stage II or stage IIIA breast cancer that overexpresses HER2.
NCT02500199
Part 1: to assess the safety and tolerability of pyrotinib and to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of pyrotinib in patients with Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-positive advanced solid tumors (metastatic breast cancer, gastric cancer, or other solid tumors that have no targeted agent as standard of care). Part 2: to estimate the overall response rate (ORR) for patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC) and HER2 mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated at the RP2D (or MTD).
NCT01602406
This is a multicenter, open-label, dose escalation, phase I study to estimate the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or a lower Recommended Dose for Expansion (RDE) of LJM716 in combination with trastuzumab in patients with Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2) overexpressing Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) or gastric cancer (MGC). The study consists of a dose escalation part and a dose expansion part. LJM716 will be administered intravenously once weekly unless a less frequent dosing regimen such as every 2 weeks or once every 4 weeks is introduced. Patients will continue on their trastuzumab dosing, administered intravenously once weekly at 2mg/kg. During dose escalation, a minimum of 15 patients are anticipated to be treated in successive cohorts. The dose escalation will continue until the MTD/RDE is declared. The RDE dose selected will either be the MTD or a dose below the MTD based on safety and Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) considerations. Following the MTD/RDE declaration, approximately 20 MBC and 20 MGC patients will be enrolled in separate arms in the dose expansion part and treated at the MTD/RDE to further assess the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of the combination.
NCT03061175
This pilot randomized clinical trial studies how well a web-based decision aid works in improving informed decisions in patients with stage 0-IIIA breast cancer considering contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM). A web-based decision aid (DA) may help doctors determine how patients make decisions about whether or not to have contralateral prophylactic mastectomy.
NCT02137837
This randomized Phase III trial studies how well the combination of fulvestrant and everolimus together or the combination of anastrozole, fulvestrant and everolimus together, improve progression-free survival (PFS) versus fulvestrant alone.
NCT01009918
RATIONALE: Lisinopril or Coreg CR®, may help reduce side effects caused by trastuzumab. It is not yet known whether lisinopril or Coreg CR® are more effective than a placebo in reducing side effects caused by trastuzumab. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying lisinopril and Coreg CR® to see how well they work compared with a placebo in reducing side effects in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer receiving trastuzumab.
NCT04031885
The reason for this study is to compare the efficacy of abemaciclib, in combination with fulvestrant, to that of physician's choice of chemotherapy in women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic breast cancer that has spread to internal organs. Your participation in this trial could last up to 31 months, depending on your cancer type and how you and your tumor respond.
NCT01463007
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate of early and intermediate toxicity related to the AccuBoost System for delivery of APBI in women with resected, early stage breast cancer.
NCT00723125
In the MDACC/BrUOG neoadjuvant trial with weekly paclitaxel followed by Fluorouracil Plus Doxorubicin and Cyclophosphamide (FAC), the pathologic complete response (pCR) rate in HER2(-) patients was 20%. The investigators' goal is to develop an induction chemotherapy regimen that will have a pCR rate above 30% in patients with HER2(-) disease. Based on a 1-sided 95% confidence interval using normal approximation with an expected pCR rate of at least 35%, approximately 28 patients are required for each cohort. With an assumed pCR rate of at least 35%, the investigators will have approximately 70% statistical power to conclude, with 90% certainty, that the pCR rate with the novel regimen exceeds 20%. The study will accrue approximately 60 patients in two cohorts with an inevaluable rate that does not exceed 10%.
NCT01492101
The study is designed as an open-label, randomized, parallel, two arm, multicenter, international Phase 3 study in patients with recurrent or metastatic breast cancer previously treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens. The primary study objective is to compare overall survival of patients who receive NKTR-102 given once every 21 days to patients who receive treatment of Physician's Choice selected from a list of seven single-agent intravenous therapies.
NCT02132949
This multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pertuzumab (Perjeta) in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin) and anthracycline-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment in participants with HER2-positive locally advanced, inflammatory, or early-stage breast cancer. Each investigator will choose a treatment regimen (A or B) for all of their participants to follow. Treatment regimen A (for Cohort A) will include dose-dense doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide (ddAC), followed by paclitaxel, with pertuzumab and trastuzumab given from the start of paclitaxel. Treatment regimen B (for Cohort B) will include 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin, and cyclophosphamide (FEC), followed by docetaxel, with pertuzumab and trastuzumab given from the start of docetaxel. Participants in both cohorts will subsequently undergo surgical treatment and then resume pertuzumab and trastuzumab treatment.
NCT03125200
This study evaluated ADCT-502 in participants with Advanced Solid Tumors with HER2 Expression. Participants participated in a dose-escalation phase (Part 1) and were due to participate in the dose expansion phase (Part 2). In Part 2, patients were due to receive the dose level identified in Part 1, but the study was terminated prior to the beginning of Part 2.
NCT04967976
This is the first prospective randomized and controlled study on the efficacy and safety of TiLOOP® Bra mesh in patients with expander-implant breast reconstruction. The investigators hypothesize that incoporating TiLOOP Bra mesh with tissue expanders will reduce the rates of capsular contraction, improve the efficiency of expansion and provide better aesthetic result.
