The purpose of our study is to assess the feasibility of preoperative partial breast (APBI) radiation in breast cancer patients. The primary outcome is the acute wound complication rate. We also aim to evaluate cosmetic outcomes and late toxicities as secondary objectives. Another goal is to examine the histopathology of tumors before and after radiation to assess the response and other immunologic and/or molecular changes to the tumor and its environment elicited by the radiation treatment. We hope that this will guide future trials that could change practice in specific patient subgroups.
This clinical trial studies how well a virtual support platform, the Health Equity Resources for Breast Cancer Responsive Education (HERCaRE) application (app), works in improving survivorship among Black survivors of breast cancer. The HERCaRE platform is a mobile-friendly app that includes culturally tailored educational materials, interactive content, and health equity resources to help patients better understand and manage survivorship after breast cancer treatment. This trial may help improve how digital health interventions can enhance survivorship support and access to resources.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of GDC-4198 alone and in combination with giredestrant and also the efficacy of GDC-4198 + giredestrant versus abemaciclib + giredestrant in participants with locally advanced or metastatic ER+, HER2- breast cancer. The study consists of 2 phases: Phase Ib and Phase II. Phase Ib will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of GDC-4198 alone and in combination with giredestrant. Phase II stage will compare the activity and safety of GDC-4198 and giredestrant with abemaciclib and giredestrant.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if tattoos applied with Magic Ink is as safe as commercially available standard tattoo ink for the purpose of radiation in women with breast cancer undergoing radiation treatment. The main questions are: * Is the Magic Ink as safe as standard tattoo ink * Does Magic Ink continue to function and remain visible for radiation therapists during the treatment Participants will be consented and given a skin assessment. Once enrolled participants will be administered the Magic Ink tattoo instead of the standard tattoo ink in preparation for their radiation treatment. Participants will also complete a survey regarding body image. Skin assessment will occur again after the first week of radiation and at 3 months later. Throughout the radiation therapy the medical physicist will complete surveys about ease of set-up of the equipment.
This study assesses breast cancer screening adherence for women at moderately increased risk for developing breast cancer based on gene mutation status or empiric risk model estimates. It also seeks to determine facilitators and barriers to screening.
The investigators cancer rehabilitation/recovery program, Strong Survivor, has been designed to be delivered digitally, and while there are many such programs currently available on the internet, especially in the time of COVID-19, the novel feature of this program is the delivery of semi-individualized instruction in real time within a small group setting. The program was designed with physician input and by exercise physiologists and a Doctor of Physical Therapy candidate, all with extensive training in both group and individualized exercise for geriatric and cancer survivor populations. Strong Survivor is 16-week iterative curricular program with three core components: aerobic fitness, balance and mobility, and muscular strength and power. Classes will be held twice per week. The first 4 classes will be deployed in a small class of up to 5 people (first 2 weeks), then one class per week with the small class and one class per week is with a larger class of up to 15 people (weeks 3 and 4). The program is then continued for 12 additional weeks in a larger class using principles and exercises specifically trained during the small group classes. All the exercises offered over the course of the intervention are appropriate for the target population and are standardized so all participants receive the same basic instruction, but level of difficulty is scaled to participant experience, capability, and musculoskeletal limitations. Participants will need to have a minimal adequate space and technology to accommodate this instructional method. Specifically, they will require an internet connected device with a camera that is at least 7 inches square. (tablet size or larger). Additionally, participants' will need to have adequate space to both set up a computer/camera and move around. The minimal acceptable space for this is 6+ feet with an unobstructed view (from a table for instance) of a 2 x 2 open space. All study participants will complete a clinic visit before they join the classes and after the last class to evaluate cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, balance and posture and answer questionnaires about quality of life and system usability.
This is a survey-based study using an online panel. The goal of the study is to understand whether information about overdiagnosis influences breast cancer screening intention among older women. Participants are first asked a series of questions about breast cancer screening including their intention to continue screening, knowledge of screening, and beliefs about screening. They are then shown one of three videos about breast cancer screening that contain information about overdiagnosis or a fourth control video that is identical but contains no information about overdiagnosis. Participants are then again asked about screening intention, along with knowledge of screening, overdiagnosis, and questions around trust.
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine PF-07248144 when given along with fulvestrant for the possible treatment of HR-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. HR-positive breast cancer cells have proteins on their surface called receptors that bind to hormones like estrogen and progesterone (female sex hormones). These hormones can promote the growth of cancer cells. HER2-negative describes cells that have a small amount or none of a protein called HER2 on their surface. In normal cells, HER2 helps control cell growth. Cancer cells that are HER2-negative may grow more slowly and are less likely to recur (come back) or spread to other parts of the body than cancer cells that have a large amount of HER2 on their surface. Advanced cancer is a term that is often used to describe cancer that is unlikely to be cured. Metastatic cancer is the type where the cancer cells spread from one part of the body to another. This study is seeking for participants whose breast cancer has gotten worsen after receiving cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) 4/6 inhibitor-based therapy. Half of participants in this study will receive their usual study treatment, everolimus with endocrine therapy (either exemestane or fulvestrant) for HR-positive/HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer (A/mBC). The study doctor will discuss which hormone therapy is right for the participant before treatment begins. PF-07248144 is a tablet that will be taken by mouth at home every day in a 28-day cycle. Fulvestrant will be given as two injections (one injection in the buttock) at visits to the study clinic. Everolimus and exemestane are also tablets and will be taken by mouth at home every day in a 28-day cycle. The study will compare the experiences of people receiving PF-07248144 in combination with fulvestrant to those of the people who do not. This will help see if PF-07248144 in combination with fulvestrant is safe and effective.
Researchers are looking for other ways to treat breast cancer (BC) that is hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) and either unresectable locally advanced or metastatic. * HR positive (HR+) means the cancer cells have proteins that attach to estrogen or progesterone (hormones) which help the cancer to grow and spread * HER2 negative (HER2-) means the cancer cells have a low amount of a protein called HER2 * Unresectable locally advanced means the cancer cannot be completely removed by surgery and has spread into nearby tissue or muscles * Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body Treatment for this type of breast cancer usually includes endocrine therapy (ET) and sometimes a second treatment. The main goal of this study is to learn if people who receive patritumab deruxtecan (also known as HER3-DXd and MK-1022) live longer overall or without the cancer growing/spreading, compared to people who receive chemotherapy or a different drug called trastuzumab deruxtecan.
The researchers are doing this study to see if the combination of surgery, locoregional radiation therapy, SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy), and the usual approach is more effective in treating oligometastatic HER2-positive breast cancer than the usual approach alone. The researchers will also study the side effects of the study treatment.
