NCT07218432
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if adding cancer-specific amplitude-modulated radiofrequency electromagnetic field therapy (TheraBionic P1 device) to the treatment of resectable early-stage breast cancer will affect the pathological response.
NCT07225309
The purpose of this study is to find out if Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Latinos (MCP-L) helps reduce anxiety and depression and improves quality of life compared to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Investigators also want to learn what participants and providers think about the therapy, including how the therapy is designed, outside factors, available resources, and how the people involved affect how well MCP-L works.
NCT06721065
The study will be conducted in 2 overlapping phases. In Phase 1, there will be a 3-arm randomized controlled trial of Remote Simultaneous Medical Interpreting/RSMI (Arm 1), versus Remote Consecutive Medical Interpreting/RCMI (Arm 2) and versus Remote Consecutive Video Medical Interpreting/RCVI (Arm 3) in breast cancer outpatient clinical encounters with Spanish- and Mandarin-speaking patients with Limited English Proficiency/LEP (Stages II and III disease) and English- speaking providers (who do not speak Spanish/Mandarin). In Phase 2, there will be a sequential mixed-methods explanatory, multi-stakeholder process evaluation to gather implementation potential data.
NCT07459673
Thie purpose of this study is to find out whether a personalized treatment approach-using a series of ctDNA tests along with standard imaging scans to help decide when to step up (escalate) or decrease (de-escalate) sequential treatments (given one after another)-combined with local therapies (which treat cancer in a specific part of the body) and treatments that prevent cancer from spreading to the central nervous system (CNS; including the brain and spinal cord) can result in long-lasting remission and possibly cure some participants with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer.
NCT06806930
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine how the duration of hormone blocking (endocrine) therapy given prior to surgery (called "neoadjuvant" treatment) affects breast cancer. The main questions the trial aims is answer are: 1. How breast cancer responds to endocrine therapy given prior to surgery? 2. To predict tumor pre-operative endocrine prognostic index (PEPI) score for subjects enrolled in cohort B or C Participants with early-stage breast cancer (Stage I-III) who are eligible for Neoadjuvant Endocrine Therapy (NET) will be enrolled in the study. Participants will: * receive endocrine therapy as part of regular care for breast cancer * consent to samples of blood and tissue evaluation to determine how endocrine therapy effects the tumor * participate in this research anywhere from 2 weeks to 1 year, depending on duration of endocrine therapy and when surgery will be performed
NCT03766009
This trial studies how well a breast cancer surgery decision aid works in increasing patient engagement in decision making for patients with newly diagnosed stage 0-III breast cancer. The trial also examines barriers to patient engagement even with the use of a decision aid, and if barriers are more likely to be experienced by socioeconomically disadvantaged patients.
NCT07188246
This study will evaluate the immune-priming effects of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) regimen coupled with two injections of pembrolizumab in high-risk primary breast carcinoma prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Preliminary results from the investigators' local TRIO Trial suggest that SBRT prior to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) may result in improved response rates due to the combined effect of radiation therapy (RT) and chemotherapy. The investigators aim to augment this effect with the addition of pembrolizumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds to and blocks programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1).
NCT06064812
A Phase I/II, Open-label study to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and antitumor efficacy of FWD1802 monotherapy in patients with ER+/HER2- unresectable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. This clinical trial aims to explore the role of FWD1802 in the ER+/HER2- advanced breast cancer patient population. The primary objectives are to address the following questions: Phase I Study: Determine the Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) and/or Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of FWD1802 in patients with ER-positive, HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Phase II Study: To evaluate the efficacy of FWD1802 at the RP2D in patients with ESR1-mutated ER-positive/HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, using objective response rate (ORR) as the efficacy endpoint.
NCT03879577
This is a one stage phase II study with a single arm design. It will be conducted in HER-2 positive breast cancer patients in Nigeria who are chemotherapy/hormonal treatment naive.
NCT06830382
This is a prospective, multi-center, open-label, exploratory diagnostic phase II imaging trial for patients with metastatic breast cancer with at least one line of systemic therapy. The overarching aim of the HER2-Ex PET trial is to study the role of precision imaging utilizing positron emission tomography (PET) with the HER2-specific tracer \[68Ga\]Ga-ABY-025 (hereafter referred to as HER2-PET) in enhancing treatment planning for patients with metastatic HER2-expressing breast cancer Patients will be allocated based on HER2-status on PET and biopsy. Patients with HER2-expressing lesions in a fresh or archived tumour biopsy will be treated with T-DXd. The study hypothesis is that PET/CT precision imaging with a contemporary HER2-radiotracer (\[68Ga\]Ga-ABY-025) can be used and can lead to a potentially better identification of patients who benefit from T-DXd treatment, thereby achieving improved treatment responses as well as fewer side effects. This study's diagnostic approach provides a more individualized treatment strategy. Additionally, this study can potentially give us a better biological understanding of HER2-expressing mBC.

The main questions it aims to answer are: * 5-year disease-free survival * 5-year overall survival * 5-year locoregional recurrence * Adverse events after radiation therapy * Quality of life Participants will be assessed by multi-dimensional methods before and after radiotherapy: * Disease status evaluation including physical and radiological examination * Quality of life assessment with questionnaires (BREAST-Q) * Adverse event assessment according to CTCAE version 5.0
NCT04180579
This study is being done to determine if using the Paxman Scalp Cooling System at temperatures lower than the current standard is a safe and tolerable approach to prevent hair loss in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
NCT05219695
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the initial clinical feasibility of using Harmonic Motion Imaging (HMI) for Focused Ultrasound Surgery (FUS) guidance and monitoring in patients with benign and stage 1 non-metastatic breast cancers. The investigators hypothesize that changes in HMI parameters will inform progression of FUS ablation.
NCT06931548
There is currently no consensus on the "gold standard" for Implant-based Breast reconstruction. In the United States, more than half of all breast reconstructions are performed using acellular dermal matrix (ADM). However, based on the findings of literature and systematic reviews, it can be cautiously said that synthetic meshes cause fewer complications with comparable aesthetic results and low cost. In our study, we propose using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) mesh in implant-based breast reconstruction. This material has previously proven itself in cardiovascular, maxillofacial and neurosurgery, hernioplasty and as a suture material. Allogeneic dura mater, which has demonstrated comparable results in breast reconstruction with the literature, will be used as a comparison. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a porous, non-biodegradable, synthetic polytetrafluoroethylene mesh for implant-based breast reconstruction in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. An allogeneic dura mater technique will be used as a control. Patients eligible for this study are classified according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines as having stage 0-2 breast cancer. The primary questions this study aims to answer are: * What are the rates of major and minor complications associated with these techniques. Major complications will be defined as complications leading to reoperation. * How effective are PTFE mesh and dura in maintaining the inframammary fold and implant projection after breast reconstruction? * What is the patient satisfaction rate with the surgical results? Patients will be randomly assigned to the study but will know which technique will be used in their particular case. Patients included in this study will undergo subcutaneous mastectomy or skin-sparing mastectomy using standard techniques with simultaneous implantation using PTFE mesh or allogeneic dura mater graft. In our opinion, the mesh and graft will stabilize the projections of the inframammary fold and breast implant. After the surgery, all minor and major complications will be recorded for 6 months. For this, both physical examination and radiological diagnostic methods will be used, including breast ultrasound and MRI with contrast. Revision surgeries will be performed if necessary. Projections of the inframammary fold and breast implant will also be measured in order to determine the effectiveness of the compared techniques. Patients will be asked to complete the BREAST-Q Version 2.0© Reconstruction Module questionnaire to determine satisfaction with the surgical outcome. The results of the study will help the professional community to determine the most effective method of Implant-based Breast reconstruction and will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
NCT03324425
This study recruits patients with metastatic breast cancer who have progressed on their current regimen of dual anti-HER2 therapy. This study evaluates whether or not the addition of simvastatin to the dual anti-HER2 therapy regimen helps make the tumor respond to the anti-HER2 therapy again. All participants will receive simvastatin in combination with their current anti-HER2 therapy regimen.
NCT05837533
Both in Mexico and in the world, breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. It is estimated that in 2020, 28.2% of the new cancer cases reported in our country correspond to breast cancer, which translates to 30,000 new cases. In addition, it is relevant to mention that approximately 12% of Mexican patients are diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer and it is estimated that 20-30% of women with early stage cancer will have a distant recurrence of the disease. Thus, about 40% of patients will find themselves in a metastatic stage at some point in their breast cancer journey. Various studies, including Mexico, report that only half of patients with metastatic breast cancer are aware that their disease is not curable, 31% say they are not sure, and 17% think it is curable. Likewise, 58% considered that they did not have enough knowledge to actively participate in conversations about their therapeutic options, which means that 40% reported difficulty talking about treatments with their doctors. This has shown that there are suboptimal levels of knowledge information on curability, treatment objectives and prognosis of their condition in patients with metastatic breast cancer. This lack of understanding is alarming given that a general understanding of the disease is crucial for informed decision making and adherence to cancer treatment. Due to these alarming results, we seek to recruit women ≥18 years of age who are candidates to start first- or second-line treatment for de novo or recurrent metastatic breast cancer from various hospital centers in the country with public and private coverage, including Hospital Zambrano Hellion TecSalud as coordinating center in Nuevo León. The objective will be to evaluate whether a systematized communication model for patients with metastatic breast cancer allows increasing knowledge about the non-curative nature of treatment, compared to usual care.

NCT03870919
Approximately 3.5% to 6% of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients are stage IV metastatic. De novo metastatic breast cancer accounts for 20% to 25% of these cases. Despite a decrease in mortality in Europe and North America due to early detection and access to treatment, breast cancer remains the 2ⁿᵈ leading cause of cancer deaths in developed countries after lung cancer and the world's leading cause. In the ESME French national retrospective cohort (NCT03275311), the newly diagnosed estrogen receptor (ER)-positive and HER2-negative (luminal) metastatic patients had a 59.1 months overall survival (OS) for pre-menopausal women and 44.7 months for postmenopausal women. In the same cohort, the median OS was 47.4 months for de novo metastatic patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer. The most important current treatment for metastatic breast cancer remains systemic therapy. Surgery and radiation are mainly used to treat symptoms. However, more than 15 retrospective studies have assessed the impact of locoregional treatment on relapse and OS. These studies suggested an improvement of the OS in patients with de novo metastatic breast cancer thanks to the addition of locoregional treatment to systemic therapy. Recent data from the ESME cohort suggest that patients with de novo luminal or HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer may benefit from local treatment of the primary tumor. Several prospective trials have attempted to demonstrate the benefit of locoregional treatment with mixed results. This can be explained by a limited power of statistical analysis, on the recruitment of patients with breast cancer of all types, and on a limited access to effective systemic therapies in some cases and all before the area of anti CD4/6 which is the current standard treatment in patients with HR-positive / HER2-negative luminal metastatic disease. However, guidelines indicate that a "multimodal approach, including curative locoregional treatments, should be considered". As a result, many clinicians offer locoregional treatment of the primary tumor, especially if there is a good response to the first line of systematic treatment. Taken together, these data underscore the need for an evaluation of the value of combined therapy - endocrine therapy - CDK4/6 inhibitor and locoregional treatment - in this population of patients with newly diagnosed HR-positive / HER2-negative breast cancer.
