NCT07541859
This quasi-experimental study aims to determine whether a breast and cervical cancer awareness training program can increase participation in cancer screening among women with visual impairments. The study also aims to identify barriers to screening and improve knowledge about cancer risk factors and screening methods. The main questions this study will address are: * Does the training increase the rate at which women with visual impairments attend cancer screening appointments? * Does the training improve participants' knowledge about breast and cervical cancer? Participants will: * Receive training on breast and cervical cancer risk factors and screening methods. * Learn how to apply to the Cancer Early Diagnosis, Screening, and Training Center. * Be encouraged to attend cancer screening during the study period. * Have knowledge and screening status assessed before the training, immediately after, and three months later.
NCT06608446
The most common complaints after breast surgery are postoperative pain reported in up to 68% of patients, musculoskeletal problems in the shoulder and functional limitations in up to 59% of patients after mastectomy and quadrantectomy, reduction in range of motion ( ROM) in 24-53% and strength deficit. The study aims to verify the effectiveness of a telerehabilitation treatment in terms of prevention of possible complications following breast cancer surgery. Primary objective: to examine whether the group of patients undergoing rehabilitation surgery in the immediate post-operative period shows a reduction in the onset of complications compared to the group of patients who followed standard procedures. Secondary objective: to study any preoperative prognostic factors for the onset of complications, to study the effectiveness of the rehabilitation treatment in terms of reduction of painful symptoms, improvement of joint ROM, muscle strength and perceived quality of life.
NCT04389632
This trial will look at a drug called sigvotatug vedotin (SGN-B6A) alone and with pembrolizumab, with or without chemotherapy, to find out whether it is safe for people who have solid tumors. It will study sigvotatug vedotin to find out what its side effects are. A side effect is anything the drug does besides treating cancer. It will also study whether sigvotatug vedotin works to treat solid tumors. The study will have four parts. * Part A of the study will find out how much sigvotatug vedotin should be given to participants. * Part B will use the dose found in Part A to find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is and if it works to treat solid tumors. * Part C of the study will find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is in combination with these other drugs. * Part D will include people who have not received treatment. This part of the study will find out how safe sigvotatug vedotin is in combination with these other drugs and if these combinations work to treat solid tumors. * In Parts C and D, participants will receive sigvotatug vedotin with either: * Pembrolizumab or, * Pembrolizumab and carboplatin, or * Pembrolizumab and cisplatin.
NCT06966700
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat types of breast cancer that are both: * High-risk, which means the cancer may have a higher chance of getting worse or coming back after treatment * Early-stage, which means the cancer is in the breast or the lymph nodes around the breast The 2 types of breast cancer in this study are triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR)-low positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer. These cancers have zero or a low amount of a protein called HER2 and other proteins that attach to the hormones estrogen or progesterone. Sacituzumab tirumotecan (also known as sac-TMT or MK-2870), the study medicine, is a type of targeted therapy. A targeted therapy is a treatment that works to control how specific types of cancer cells grow and spread. The main goals of this study are to learn if people who receive sac-TMT, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy: * Have fewer cancer cells found in the tumors and lymph nodes removed during surgery compared to those who receive only pembrolizumab and chemotherapy * Live longer without the cancer growing, spreading, or coming back compared to people who receive only pembrolizumab with chemotherapy
NCT07174336
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the addition of Tersolisib (LY4064809/STX-478) to other anti-cancer drugs as first treatment for advanced hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer. Participants can remain in the study as long as the drug is helping the cancer without unbearable side effects.
NCT04895709

This study is a first-in-human (FIH) study of BMS-986340 in participants with advanced solid tumors.
NCT05386108
This is a multi-site, global, open-label study that includes a phase 1b evaluation of elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in women and men with brain metastases from estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) negative breast cancer. Phase 1b was designed to select the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and is followed by an ongoing phase 2 evaluation of elacestrant in combination with abemaciclib in participants with active brain metastases from ER-positive, HER-2 negative breast cancer.
NCT07191730
Cancer treatments have improved substantially over the past decades, but some effective therapies such as anthracyclines and HER2-targeted agents are associated with severe cardiovascular adverse effects, including heart failure. Existing cardiovascular risk prediction scores have limited evidence in this setting. The ML-CardioTox study is a prospective, multicenter, observational cohort conducted in 15 centers in France. The primary objective is to develop a one-year prediction score for cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity using machine learning methods. A dedicated software platform will be used to standardize data collection and support integration of artificial intelligence tools. A total of 600 patients treated with anthracyclines or HER2-targeted therapies in cardio-oncology clinics will be enrolled over a one-year inclusion period starting in December 2024, with a 12-month follow-up. The primary endpoint is the occurrence of cardiotoxicity as defined by the 2022 European Society of Cardiology guidelines (hospitalization for heart failure, initiation or escalation of diuretic therapy, decline in cardiac function on imaging, or increase in cardiac biomarkers such as troponin or natriuretic peptides). Secondary objectives include comparison of the predictive performance of the machine learning-derived score with the established HFA-ICOS risk score. Patients will be managed according to routine clinical practice. This study aims to improve prognostic stratification tools for patients receiving anthracyclines or HER2-targeted therapies, with the goal of better identifying those at high risk of developing cardiotoxicity during follow-up.
NCT07038369
This is a Phase 1, open-label study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATV-1601 administered orally in adults with AKT1 E17K-mutant, advanced solid tumors and also in HR+/HER2- advanced and metastatic breast cancer, with or without fulvestrant.
NCT06312176
The purpose of this study is to compare sacituzumab tirumotecan as a single agent, and in combination with pembrolizumab, versus Treatment of Physician's Choice (TPC) in participants with hormone receptor positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HR+/HER2-) unresectable locally advanced, or metastatic, breast cancer. The primary hypotheses are that sacituzumab tirumotecan as a single agent and sacituzumab tirumotecan plus pembrolizumab are superior to TPC with respect to progression-free survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) by blinded independent central review (BICR) in all participants.
NCT06797635
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and hormone receptor (HR) low positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) negative breast cancer. The main goals of this study are to learn: * About the safety of the study treatments and if people tolerate them * If people who receive patritumab deruxtecan, pembrolizumab, and chemotherapy before surgery have fewer cancer cells removed during surgery compared to those who receive only pembrolizumab (pembro) and chemotherapy.
NCT07003841
This clinical trial aims to evaluate whether an augmented reality (AR)-based medical imaging solution (SKIA-Breast) is non-inferior to conventional ultrasound-guided skin marking in guiding breast-conserving surgery in female patients with breast cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the AR-based group or the conventional group. All participants will undergo breast-conserving surgery according to their assigned method. The primary outcome is the negative margin resection rate evaluated by histopathological examination. The secondary outcome is the re-excision rate due to positive margins assessed by histopathological examination.
NCT05382364
The primary purpose of this study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of tucatinib (MK-7119) in Chinese participants with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) advanced breast cancer, gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEC), and colorectal cancer.
NCT07467824
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Cancer treatments are associated with numerous adverse events that reduce patients' functionality and alter their clinical and molecular profiles. Physical exercise and adherence to nutritional guidelines during treatment and survivorship have been shown to improve recovery prognosis and reduce treatment-related complications. However, the specific effects of prehabilitation, defined as "the process in the cancer continuum that occurs between diagnosis and the start of treatment," remain unknown in BC. A concurrent training program and specific nutritional guidelines during this phase could reduce treatment-related adverse events and improve recovery. Similarly, including a home-based exercise program and nutritional guidelines throughout the cancer treatment continuum could enhance the benefits achieved and improve various aspects of functionality, clinical status, and quality of life. Therefore, the main aim of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the impact and effects of a supervised prehabilitation program (combining high-intensity concurrent training and personalized nutritional guidelines) and a supportive care intervention (home-based exercise and personalized nutritional guidelines) on functional, neuromuscular, and cardiorespiratory capacity, quality of life, body composition, and clinical and molecular outcomes in women with BC. In addition, the sustainability of the benefits achieved in the long-term care and the evolution of the outcomes assessed throughout the continuum of cancer treatments will be analyzed.
NCT07442838
This retrospective observational study evaluates clinical outcomes and complication rates in women who underwent two-staged implant-based breast reconstruction using tissue expanders and implants following mastectomy for breast cancer. The study focuses on comparing postoperative complications associated with nano- and microtextured tissue expanders and assessing the influence of prior radiotherapy on reconstructive outcomes. The hypothesis of the study is that the surface characteristics of tissue expanders and a history of radiotherapy may influence the incidence and type of postoperative complications as well as overall reconstructive success.
NCT04191135
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of olaparib (MK-7339) plus pembrolizumab (MK-3475) with chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab after induction with first-line chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). The primary hypotheses are: 1. Olaparib plus pembrolizumab is superior to chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab with respect to progression-free survival (PFS). 2. Olaparib plus pembrolizumab is superior to chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab with respect to overall survival (OS). As of Amendment 3, study enrollment was discontinued. Participants who were receiving benefit from the study intervention could continue treatment until criteria for discontinuation are met. Participants who are on study treatment or in follow-up phase will no longer have tumor response assessments by BICR.
NCT06062992
Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) is an emerging breast imaging modality that is based on dual-energy mammography and the injection of iodinated contrast agent. A typical CEM study consists of a low-energy image (equal to a FFDM image) and a recombined image (in which areas of contrast enhancement can be appreciated). However, the situation can occur that lesions are visible only on the recombined (contrast) images (in this protocol defined as 'recombined-only lesions' or ROLs). In these cases, radiologists need to perform 'contrast-enhanced stereotactic biopsy' (CESB), in which CEM is used as a targeting modality. However, experiences with CESB are still limited and one of the most urgent questions that need to be answered is the amount of tissue sampling that is required to reach a final diagnosis. The investigators aim to study where the cut off will be in terms of tissue sampling volume needed (i.e., number of biopsies) for a reliable diagnosis.
NCT07409948
Breast cancer patients who receive endocrine therapy particularly aromatase inhibitors often experience aromatase inhibitors associated symptoms (AIMSS) such as joint and muscle pain along with stiffness and fatigue that can disrupt with daily activities and lead some patients to stop treatment early. A structured intervention program named AIMSS-CARE (Aromatase Inhibitor-associated Musculoskeletal Symptoms-Comprehensive Adapted Rehabilitation Evaluation) developed in China that combines exercise, education, symptom monitoring, and follow-up has been shown to reduce these symptoms and improve treatment adherence. This study will adapt this program for use in Ethiopia while testing its effectiveness to enhance pain management, treatment adherence and quality of life among Ethiopian breast cancer patients receiving endocrine therapy. The study will be conducted at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Eighty-eight patients will be randomly assigned to either the adapted intervention program or usual care. The research will also examine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention to patients and healthcare providers, and what factors influence its successful implementation. Results will help determine whether this program can be used more widely in Ethiopia and other African cancer centers.
NCT06517212
This trial aims to asses if tirzepatide-induced weight loss will lead to metabolic and hormonal changes in hormone receptor-positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor-negative (HER2-), node-positive (N+) high risk early breast cancer patients with obesity or overweight, inhibiting the growth and survival of micrometastatic disease and leading to clearance of tumor-informed circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and freedom from the development of metastatic disease.
NCT07396766
This registration covers only Aim 1b, which focuses on testing usability. The study will include 20 participants who are breast cancer patients. Participants will be observed using the tool on their mobile devices, and their experience will be evaluated using a "think-aloud" method to capture their thoughts and reactions. Interviews will include open-ended questions about the content and format of the decision aid, with follow-up prompts to gather feedback on design elements (length, order, graphics), comprehension, ease of use, acceptance, and engagement with the tool. Knowledge will be measured using the Decision Quality Instrument before and after using the tool. Results will be analyzed to develop recommendations for the final version of the tool.
