This is a multicenter randomized, open label study to evaluate overall survival with the Bria-IMT regimen in combination with Checkpoint Inhibitor \[Retifanlimab\], versus Treatment of Patients'/Physicians' Choice (TPC) in advanced metastatic or locally recurrent breast cancer (aMBC) patients with no approved alternative therapies available.
This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the da Vinci SP Surgical System compared to Open NSM in Nipple Sparing Mastectomy procedures.
The goal of this research study is to learn how accessible JEEVA is for patients during the perioperative period (the time after the pre-operative surgical appointment, and up to 30 days after surgery
This proposed technique, called "Nonlinear Elasticity Mapping (NEM)", is an innovative approach to estimate (i.e., linear and nonlinear) elasticity to provide complementary and relevant information for identification and characterization of breast masses. The proposed technique includes imaging the (nonlinear) elasticity parameter in a quantitative manner and measuring two new and relevant parameters. These parameters, together with linear elasticity, are used to differentiate breast masses. The first parameter is the nonlinearity of the elasticity.
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the safety and efficacy of trilaciclib versus placebo administered prior to gemcitabine and carboplatin in patients receiving first- or second-line treatment for locally advanced unresectable/metastatic TNBC.
This study looks to advance a novel and potent strategy to eliminate minimal residual disease (MRD) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) present even after multimodal treatment, thereby improving survival and increasing cure rate in this aggressive cancer. Patients with locally advanced TNBC are at high risk of developing lethal metastatic disease within 2 years of diagnosis, especially for those without a pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The high risk occurs despite surgical excision of the primary tumor and axillary lymph nodes to eliminate residual disease.
This phase II trial studies the immunologic response and side effects of using the WOKVAC vaccine in combination with chemotherapy and HER2-targeted monoclonal antibody therapy before surgery in treating patients with breast cancer. Vaccines like WOKVAC are made from tumor-associated antigens which may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Trastuzumab and pertuzumab are forms of targeted therapy because they work by attaching themselves to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab and pertuzumab attach to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the tumor cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Giving the WOKVAC vaccine at the same time (concurrently) with paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab before surgery may kill more tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is evaluate the effect of Nitroglycerin paste on wound healing and scarring. Previous research has shown that Nitroglycerin paste can improve the blood flow to a wound, which may be associated with better wound healing, and ultimately, better scarring.
The purpose of this study is to find out the possible anti-cancer effect of pelareorep in combination with chemotherapy \[paclitaxel\] and avelumab in treating a type of breast cancer called Hormone Receptor positive (HR+)/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 negative(HER2-) breast cancer, which is either locally advanced or has metastasized (cancer that has spread in your body). The study will investigate if pelareorep in combination with paclitaxel and avelumab is more effective than paclitaxel alone, or pelareorep and paclitaxel. The safety of the combination treatments will also be evaluated.
The purpose of this phase II trial is to identify the most effective dose level (number of classes) of a diet and physical activity lifestyle program based on how well it improves diet and physical activity in stage 0-III breast cancer survivors. Study results may provide researchers with information on how to best implement diet and physical activity recommendations among breast cancer survivors.
The overall purpose of this study is to investigate whether younger subjects report pain with pegfilgrastim (or biosimilar substitution) more often and/or at higher levels (greater intensity) than older subjects.This study will be carried out throughout the course of your chemotherapy treatment, which will be prescribed by your study doctor. Participation in this study will not affect your cancer treatment.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of alpha-TEA when given together with trastuzumab and to see how well they work for the treatment of HER2+ breast cancer that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Anti-cancer treatment, such as alpha-TEA, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Alpha-TEA may also alter cancer growth by stimulating the body's immune response against the tumor. Trastuzumab is a form of "targeted therapy" because it works by attaching itself to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab attaches to HER2 receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the cancer cell may be marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Giving alpha-TEA and trastuzumab may work better for the treatment of HER2+ refractory and metastatic breast cancer compared to usual treatment.
This is a single-center, pilot study being conducted to evaluate the safety and performance of the investigational device (MUST) in detecting malignant lesions in breast tissue.
An open-label, dose escalation and expansion clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK of fruquintinib in patients with advanced solid tumors, metastatic colorectal cancer and metastatic breast cancer.
A study to determine the efficacy of 8 mg/day (4 mg/breast) of BHR-700 gel compared to placebo for reducing breast tissue density in women identified as having dense breast tissue upon analysis of screening mammography. The Primary Study Endpoint being the percent reduction of mammographic breast tissue density on a follow-up mammogram compared to the baseline mammogram after 52 weeks of treatment.
Open-label, cohort study to determine the feasibility and tolerability of the combination of daily niraparib and daily or thrice weekly everolimus for one 28-day cycle in patients with advanced ovarian and breast cancer.
Brief Summary: The QT Ultrasound system is an automated scanner which transmits pulsed ultrasound plane waves through the breast, as well as collects reflected ultrasound output. As the patient lays prone on a table, the breast is submerged in a warm water bath. The transmitter and receiver assembly moves around the suspended breast to record data for successive sub-volumes of targeted tissue. More than 2000 elements in the curvilinear transducer's array encircle the breast to gather data from the tissue structures of the breast, from nipple to chest wall. Information gathered from this automated QT scan encompasses the entire breast which is currently not commercially available using any other ultrasound technology.
The proposed study is being done to learn more about a particular dose of radiation treatment for breast cancer that is completed in a shorter amount of time than what has traditionally been used to treat breast cancer. Subjects are being asked to be in this research study because they have already had surgery for breast cancer and some cancer cells were found in their lymph nodes that drain the breast tissue.
The purpose of this research is to test whether bacteria that normally live in the intestines play a role in fighting cancer. It is believed that the development and behavior of these immune cells may be influenced by bacteria and other microorganisms living in the gut. In turn, the activities of these immune cells could work with anti-cancer therapies to make them more, or less, effective.
The purpose of this study is to build a device that will consistently ablate (destroy or remove) cavitary breast tissue after a formal breast cancer resection in order to mimic the tissue that is now irradiated after breast cancer lumpectomy. The device would be easier to handle, perform the ablation in less time and by so ablating this margin would avoid the need in many for reoperation to obtain negative margins and based on preliminary data avoid the need for radiation. This would be especially important in poor and rural patients and would lead to decreased costs of treatment in patients with favorable breast cancer.
The goal of this study is to determine if co-administration of metformin and doxorubicin in breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy will reduce the number of patients who develop a significant change in left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF).
The proposed study is a single-center, prospective, pilot, observation study to tabulate and measure the changes that occur during treatment and healing for breast conserving therapy (BCT) in women with non-metastatic breast cancer for comparison to the multiscale model of breast lumpectomy and healing in order to identify targets for improving BCT. The study will be comprised of 12 de novo breast cancer patients with non-metastatic breast cancer undergoing BCT. Subjects will be enrolled in the study during the 3 weeks prior to receiving their BCT surgery and will be followed for six months after the BCT surgery. A total of 6 visits (not including the surgery) are planned.
The best available evidence suggests that pregnancy after breast cancer does not increase a woman's risk of developing a recurrence from her breast cancer. In particular, the most recent data suggest that this is the case also in women with a hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. There is also no indication of increased risk for delivery complications or for the newborn. The aim of the study is to investigate if temporary interruption of endocrine therapy, with the goal to permit pregnancy, is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer recurrence.The study aims also to evaluate different specific indicators related to fertility, pregnancy and breast cancer biology in young women. A psycho-oncological companion study on fertility concerns, psychological well-being and decisional conflicts will be conducted in interested Centers.
The purpose of this study is to test whether a radiotherapy regimen of 8 GY x 3 days over 5 days (every other day) is as safe (well-tolerated) and effective as 6 Gy x 5 over five consecutive days
Partial breast irradiation (PBI) is becoming a new paradigm for breast cancer radiation.\[1\] No type I or II evidence is currently available to demonstrate equivalence to standard whole breast radiotherapy, and a prospective randomized trial jointly sponsored by NSABP and RTOG (NSABP B-39 and RTOG 0413) is currently accruing patients, comparing whole breast radiotherapy to PBI, either by brachytherapy or external beam techniques (EB). Until the results of this or similar trials are available, PBI remains a research domain, and it should be offered to patients only in the context of a clinical experimental protocol.
Breast lift surgery performed in combination with breast implants is a common cosmetic operation. However, there have been concerns regarding the safety of this treatment combination. Some investigators are concerned that an implant may increase the risk of complications, including loss of circulation to the nipple and areola. This study was undertaken to evaluate the blood supply of the breast using intraoperative laser fluorescent imaging and to determine whether a breast implant compromises blood supply to the nipple and areola.
Purpose:The aim of this research is to compare the 3D s-DBT (stationary digital breast tomosynthesis) and conventional 2-D digital mammography devices with regards to patient comfort and radiologist preference in women with breast implants. Participants: Women with breast implants undergoing routine 2-D digital mammography. Procedures (methods): 50 female subjects with breast implants undergoing conventional screening mammography will be recruited to have a single view s-DBT in the mediolateral projection. We will perform a patient preference study and radiologist reader study composed of radiologists who have experience evaluating tomosynthesis images. A short survey will be given to each patient about their preference in modality with respect to comfort. Each reader will review the images and score the ease of interpretation, and their confidence of interpretation.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the impact of incorporating three-dimensional (3D)imaging during preoperative consultation on patient reported outcomes in primary breast augmentation surgery. 3D imaging is an innovative technology that allows the surgeon to share with images how one could look after one's procedure. The patient's assessment will be collected using the Breast Q, an objective questionnaire that captures patient satisfaction with breast augmentation.
A new test for breast cancer screening, molecular breast imaging (MBI) may be more sensitive than mammography for detecting breast cancer in women with dense breasts. The purpose of this study is to see if MBI using a low dose of gamma radiation can find cancers not seen on mammography. Hypotheses: 1. Low-Dose MBI has a significantly higher sensitivity and specificity and equal or higher positive predictive value than SM in women age 40 and older with mammographically dense breasts. 2. Low-dose MBI has comparable sensitivity and specificity to that previously achieved with MBI using a higher dose of radiation. 3. MBI produces a low false positive rate (specificity \>90%) that permits its use as a screening tool in this patient population.
A primary objective of this study is to evaluate the in vivo response of tumor to chemotherapy through gene microarray analysis. Neoadjuvant treatment allows the unique opportunity to observe the in vivo effects of cytotoxic therapy on gene expression in tumor tissue. The investigators plan to evaluate several different questions by comparing gene profiles in different phases of treatment in this study. These are outlined below. Hypotheses 1. Chemotherapy enriches for tumor cell populations that have enhanced resistance and survival mechanisms. These mechanisms will in part be identifiable through changes in gene expression profiles pre vs. post treatment. 2. Use of two distinct chemotherapy selection pressures, for example a DNA-damaging regimen (epirubicin and cyclophosphamide) or a mitotic spindle/metabolic targeted regimen (docetaxel and capecitabine), will allow for the identification of a smaller set of genes associated to resistance and survival mechanisms of broad importance. 3. Genes associated with enrichment for resistance and survival mechanisms will not be present in large amounts pretreatment in tumors destined for complete pathologic response.
