NCT00006007
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining LY231514 plus gemcitabine in treating women who have metastatic breast cancer.
NCT00265733
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel poliglumex and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving paclitaxel poliglumex together with capecitabine works in treating patients with metastatic breast cancer.
NCT02982148
This study is designed to compare the effectiveness of intradermal injection and subcutaneous injection with methylene blue for early-stage breast cancer patients who need sentinel lymph node biopsy.
NCT01091584
The use of interventions for cancer-related distress is important to reduce this distress. Distress has a negative impact on quality of life, the recovery during and after treatment and may even adversely affect survival. There is insufficient attention to the systematic approach to psychosocial problems in cancer patients in the Netherlands. A task force discussed and studied which instrument measures psychosocial problems best. The distress thermometer ("lastmeter") had the best results. A guideline is written to use the distress thermometer for patients with cancer and will be used in hospitals in the Netherlands. However, it is not clear what the effects are of the use of the distress thermometer on the psychosocial wellbeing of the patient. Furthermore, it is also unknown whether the use of the distress thermometer leads to cost-effective care. The study focuses on the use of the distress thermometer in breast cancer patients. An efficiency study (RCT) will be conducted to evaluate the systematic use of the distress thermometer and its discussion by a nurse as compared to the usual care provided to outpatients who are treated with curative intent for breast cancer by their treating physicians. The clinical and economic impact of the use of the Distress thermometer will be assessed in comparison with usual care.The recruitment of patients will take place in the out-patient clinic of a university hospital. Patients will be followed from diagnose until two years after finishing their treatment.
NCT02982421
Art Therapy is a health profession in which art making is utilized as a means of expression and communication within a therapeutic and supportive relationship \[1\]. Art therapy has been shown to reduce psychological (anxiety, negative mood) and physical (pain, fatigue) symptoms which accompany many breast cancer patients and survivors \[2-7\]. Qualitative studies provide an initial understanding of the mechanisms through which art therapy facilitates symptom reduction \[8\]. Breast cancer patients have reported that art therapy provided them with access to emotional material otherwise inaccessible \[9\]. The goal of this study is to examine the effect of art making within a therapeutic framework on emotional awareness and acceptance.
NCT00752986
The primary objective is to assess the event-free survival defined as the time from randomisation to progression, death without progression, loss to follow up, whichever occurred first..
NCT01508273
The goal of this behavioral research study is to find out more about the health behaviors of cancer survivors. Researchers want to understand the cultural, social, and environmental factors related to physical activity and personal diet. Researchers also want to learn if cancer survivors who take part in lifestyle interventions have better overall health and quality of life than those who do not take part in these interventions.
NCT02803736
This multicenter placebo-controlled trial focuses on the efficacy and safety of acupuncture on breast-cancer related lymphedema. 200 participants will be recruited, and randomized in two groups: the real acupuncture group and the sham acupuncture group.
NCT01928992
The purpose of this pilot study is to provide credible performance estimate information in order to properly plan, design, and power a larger clinical study.
NCT01996410
The goal of this study is to determine if acupuncture improves multiple symptoms associated with chemotherapy on the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI): nausea, vomiting, fatigue, anxiety, anorexia, pain, disturbed sleep, shortness of breath, dry mouth, depression, and peripheral neuropathy (see statistical section). The investigators hypothesis is that acupuncture will result in lower MDASI scores over the course of chemotherapy for the acupuncture group vs. control group.
NCT01738685
Hormone responsive breast cancer is common and costly. Long-term adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) improves breast cancer outcomes greatly, but, unfortunately, is commonly associated with physical and emotional concerns. I propose to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a behavioral intervention to facilitate problem identification, provide education, coaching for breast cancer survivors with symptoms while on AET. Therefore, the intervention intends to empower women to engage in better self-care and seek out resources they need, which, in turn, will lead to better symptom management.
NCT02058667
The purpose of this trial in addition to a dose finding study for concurrent Paclitaxel, will be to establish a treatment algorithm for chest wall reirradiation. A nominal margin of at least 5cm will be used on the protocol and extending it to 7cm. Considering the standard treatment of breast cancer incorporates a cumulative dose of 60Gy, delivering an additional 50.4 Gy followed by a boost should target a total dose of 120 Gy.
NCT01246726
This is a pilot study comparing the appearance and volume of the post surgical region in the intact breast, as determined by 3 modalities: computed Xray tomography (CT), 3 Dimensional ultrasound (USS), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after breast conserving surgery and during whole breast irradiation.
NCT00619762
This prospective, multicenter, open-label study will assess the clinical outcomes of the LTM product in three planned analyses. The primary objective of this study is to prospectively assess the clinical outcomes associated with the use of LTM in two-stage (expander then permanent implant) immediate post-mastectomy breast reconstruction.
NCT00303108
The purpose of this study is to determine the ORR associated with Doxil in combination with carboplatin in HER2- (negative) MBC (and with Herceptin in HER2+ MBC).
NCT02609373
Shift work with circadian disruption has been linked with increased breast cancer incidence. The mechanisms for this effect are not yet completely understood. This study evaluates the impact of a previously developed sleep intervention in shift workers at risk of breast cancer; and assesses mediating variables that may explain the relationship between shift work and breast cancer. A sample of women night shift workers were provided with a sleep intervention. The intervention is a standard approach used in a sleep clinic and is delivered by telephone by a trained intervener. Hypothesis: The intervention will improve sleep in women night shift workers, which will in turn have a positive impact on biological and behavioural risk factors associated with breast cancer and quality of life.
NCT01277133
This single arm, prospective, observational study will assess the correlation between the time from start of chemotherapy to the start of Avastin (bevacizumab) treatment with progression-free survival in patients with previously untreated metastatic breast cancer. Patients will be followed for up to 12 months after progressive disease occurs.
NCT01513083
This open-label, parallel group study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of trastuzumab emtansine in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer and normal or reduced hepatic function. Patients will receive trastuzumab emtansine intravenously on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs.
NCT01493336
This randomized, open-label, two-way crossover study will evaluate the relative bioavailabilty and safety of capecitabine rapid disintegrating tablets (RDT) versus commercial Xeloda tablets in patients with colorectal or breast cancer. Patients will be randomized to a sequence of single oral doses of capecitabine RDT or Xeloda on Days 1 and 2 of a 14-day treatment cycle with Xeloda. Follow-up will be 30 days.
NCT02621957
This study is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of pravastatin with and without concomitant GDC-0810 administration in healthy female subjects of non-childbearing potential. During Period 1 (Day -1 to Day 4) PK parameters of pravastatin will be determined in the absence of GDC-0810. During Period 2 (Days 5-28) PK parameters of pravastatin will be determined in the presence of GDC-0810.
