Circulating Tumor Cells and Treatment De-escalation After Neoadjuvant Therapy for HER2 Positive Breast Cancer
Phase II unicentric randomized trial which will include early HER2 positive breast cancer patients, candidate to neoadjuvant therapy with trastuzumab and pertuzumab. Circulating tumor cells will be collected at neoadjuvant therapy baseline. Patients with pathological complete response will be randomized in 1:1 ratio for adjuvant trastuzumab (arm A) versus trastuzumab …
Whole Exome Sequencing in Finding Causative Variants in Germline DNA Samples From Patients With Congestive Heart Failure Receiving Therapy for Breast Cancer
This research trial studies whole exome sequencing in finding causative variants in germline deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) samples from patients with congestive heart failure receiving therapy for breast cancer. Studying samples of germline DNA in the laboratory from patients with congestive heart failure receiving therapy for breast cancer may help doctors …
Endocrine Therapy-Induced Alopecia in Postmenopausal and Premenopausal Female Breast Cancer Patients
This study evaluates endocrine therapy-induced alopecia among postmenopausal and premenopausal female patients with breast cancer. Alopecia is one of the most feared side effects of cancer-directed therapy, causing distress in women starting treatment for breast cancer. While alopecia is a well-known side effect of many chemotherapy drugs, it has also …
MUSE-S Headband System for Improving Anxiety and Insomnia Among Breast Cancer Survivors
This early phase I trial evaluates the feasibility and impact of a meditation headband system (MUSE-S) for breast cancer survivors. Anxiety and insomnia are among the most common distresses in breast cancer survivors during and after chemotherapy, in part due to the side effects of chemotherapy, fear of cancer coming …
ECLECTIC: EstroTEP and Circulating Biomarkers for ER-positive HER2-negative Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients
Eclectic is a strategy trial; once the class of treatment (endocrine therapy or chemotherapy) has been allocated according to 16α-18F-fluoro-17β-oestradiol (18F-FES) Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) results and circulating tumor biomarkers, clinicians will decide which treatment to use.
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Formation in Breast Cancer Patients Taking Tamoxifen
This study examines the long-term effects of tamoxifen (TAM) treatment on excessive production of neutrophil extracellular traps (NET) and their impact on breast cancer and side effects. NET are produced by the body to fight infections but have also been linked to side effects caused by the body's immune system. …
Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound Medical Imaging for Identifying Breast Masses
This clinical trial investigates the role of contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in identifying cystic breast masses as benign or malignant. Ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging test that uses sound waves to make pictures of the body without using radiation (x-rays). Ultrasounds are widely used to diagnose many diseases in the …
Effects of White Button Mushroom on Inflammation in Obese Postmenopausal Women at High Risk of Breast Cancer
This clinical trial studies the effects of dietary white button mushroom on inflammation (the body's process of fighting against harmful things) and immune cells (white blood cells) in postmenopausal women with both high body mass index or BMI (percentage of body fat) and high risk of breast cancer. The body …
Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography for the Evaluation of Pathologic Nipple Discharge
This clinical trial studies contrast enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) for the evaluation of pathologic nipple discharge. CESM is similar to standard mammography, but it includes an intravenous (by vein) injection of an iodine-based contrast, which makes tissue and blood vessels more visible in scans. The goal of this trial is …
Home-based Respiratory Muscle Training for Minimizing Side Effects in Patients Undergoing Treatment for Breast Cancer
This clinical trial evaluates whether home-based respiratory muscle training is useful for minimizing side effects in patients undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Over-activation of the nervous system during breast cancer treatment can result in heart- and lung-related side effects which have the potential to reduce a patient's quality of life. …
