PRE-ISPY Phase I/II Oncology Platform Program

PRE-ISPY Phase I/II (I-SPY-P1) is an open-label, multisite platform study with multiple ongoing drug regimen arms added by protocol amendment which is designed to evaluate single agents or combinations in locally advanced, incurable, or metastatic solid tumors and/or oligometastatic malignancy and/or a high risk of recurrence following prior treatment with curative intent. The overall goal is moving promising drug regimens into a larger phase II (or III) trial and in general could feed the neoadjuvant breast I-SPY 2 Trial (NCT01042379) and/or other oncology solid tumor trial in a timely manner.

To Reduce the Use of Chemotherapy in Postmenopausal Patients With ER-positive and HER2-positive Breast Cancer (TOUCH)

This is a phase II open-label, multicentre, randomized trial. The study assesses the treatment of postmenopausal patients with hormone receptor positive/HER2 positive early breast cancer with neoadjuvant palbociclib in combination with hormonal therapy and HER2 blockade, versus the treatment with paclitaxel in combination with HER2 blockade.

Ph 2 Elacestrant in ER Positive Uterine Sarcomas

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of elacestrant, in participants with advanced estrogen receptor (ER)-positive uterine sarcomas. The name of the study drug involved in this research study is: -Elacestrant (a type of selective estrogen receptor degrader)

Reaching for Evidence-baSed Chemotherapy Use in Endocrine Sensitive Breast Cancer

Systematic assessment of survival data of patients who have been tested with EndoPredict®; prospective proof that patients with low risk classification by EndoPredict® (EPclin) can safely forgo chemotherapy and be treated with endocrine therapy alone.

OFS in Premenopausal Node+ Breast Cancer With Low Genomic Risk

Among ER+HER2- premenopausal patients with N1 who undergoes primary breast surgery, we will identify the patients with a genomic low risk using the multigene-assay (OncoFREE®). In these, ovarian function suppression with endocrine therapies including either tamoxifen or aromatase-inhibitors will be administered for 5 years.

Characterization of Biophysical and Mechanical Parameters on Skin of Breast Cancer Patients

Aim of this study is to characterize the chemical/physical and structural parameters of the skin in patients with breast cancer undergoing oncological adjuvant treatment in order to understand how to prevent and manage adverse skin events during hormone therapy, also through the formulation of new functional dermocosmetics.

A Text-based Intervention in Improving Adherence to Hormone Therapy in Patients With Stage I-III Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer

This trial studies how well a text-based intervention works in improving adherence to hormone therapy in patients with stage I-III hormone receptor positive breast cancer. Women often require long term therapy with adjuvant hormone therapy to prevent the cancer from returning and to improve overall survival. Side effects from hormone therapy may prevent some women from staying adherent to their medication therapy. A text-based intervention may provide educational information to breast cancer patients who are undergoing adjuvant hormone therapy.

Neoadjuvant Response-guided Treatment of Luminal B-type Tumors and Luminal A-type Tumors With Node Metastases

The purpose of this neoadjuvant trial is to evaluate efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapy using weekly paclitaxel (arm A) versus the combination of the cdk 4/6 inhibitor palbociclib and standard endocrine treatment (arm B). After 12 weeks treatment is switched crossover. During the 24-weekly treatment period, clinical and radiological evaluations are performed repeatedly. Switch between the treatment arms A and B is allowed in case of lack of response or due to toxicity. A translational subprotocol is a mandatory part of the study protocol, except for use of PET-CT evaluations. Postoperatively, patients receive three 3-weekly courses of chemotherapy with a combination of epirubicin and cyclophosphamide.

The MASTER Study (MAmmary Cancer STatin ER Positive Study)

Given the compelling evidence supporting a protective effect of statins on breast cancer recurrence, calls for prospective clinical trials have been expressed. In this trial - the MASTER trial - we hypothesize that the addition of statin treatment to the current breast cancer treatment will improve the prognosis of women with early breast cancer. This trial is designed as follows: a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled comparison of standard (neo)adjuvant therapy plus placebo versus standard (neo)adjuvant therapy plus atorvastatin in patients with early breast cancer.
