Breast Cancer Clinical Trials in Los Angeles, CA

Surgical mesh products, particularly acellular dermal matrices (ADM), are now used by the majority of plastic surgeons to assist with the nearly 100,000 prosthetic breast reconstruction procedures in the United States, despite never being approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this indication. As surgeons transition to placing breast implants above the chest muscle (pre-pectoral), there has been an increasing reliance on these often expensive mesh products without robust evidence to understand their risks and benefits. Our pilot study is a randomized multi-center trial to evaluate surgical mesh assistance in pre-pectoral tissue expander to breast implant reconstruction to address vital questions for women's public health.

Study of NGM707 as Monotherapy and in Combination with Pembrolizumab in Advanced or Metastatic Solid Tumor Malignancies Read Less

This is a study of navicixizumab monotherapy or in combination with paclitaxel or irinotecan in patients with advanced cancer. Patients will be enrolled into one of the following cancer cohorts: Cohort A: CRC Cohort B: Gastric and GEJ cancer Cohort C: TNBC Cohort D: Platinum-resistant/refractory epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer (ovarian cancer) Read Less

This phase II trial studies how well oxaloacetate works in reducing cognitive complaints in stage 0-IIIA breast cancer survivors. Oxaloacetate is a natural substance found in the body and is available as a nutritional supplement. Giving oxaloacetate may reduce inflammation in the brain that could be contributing to cognitive complaints seen after cancer treatments. Read Less

A Phase I-II, First-in-Human Study of SKB264 in Patients with Locally Advanced Unresectable/Metastatic Solid Tumors who are refractory to Available Standard Therapies. Patient must have historically documented, incurable, locally advanced or metastatic cancer that are refractory to standard therapies of one of the following types: Triple negative breast cancer Epithelial ovarian cancer Non-small cell lung cancer Gastric adenocarcinoma/Gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma Small cell lung cancer HR+/ HER2-breast cancer Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma Endometrial carcinoma Urothelial carcinoma Read Less

Pilot randomized controlled parallel group behavior change comparative effectiveness trial involves 30 breast cancer survivors interested in losing excess body fat. Both interventions include dietary + exercise prescriptions that hold promise for reducing the survivors' risk of cancer recurrence. Both interventions are consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans but the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)-based approach focuses on weight loss through calorie restriction and increased physical activity while the Highly Microbiota-Accessible Foods (HMAFs) approach is intended to be a low-numeracy version of a Mediterranean-style diet and increased physical activity. The DPP approach is considered to be a high-numeracy intervention because it requires that consumers keep track of all calories consumed and expended per day and to endeavor to maintain a calorie deficit each day during the active weight loss phase. For both conditions, the 12 to 13-week intervention includes 2 virtual home visits, 2 virtual group education sessions and 7 telephone or Zoom-based coaching sessions by well-trained intervenors. Assessments occur at baseline and six months, with systemic inflammation (high sensitivity C-reactive protein) being the primary outcome measure and visceral fat being a secondary outcome. Other prespecified secondary outcomes include gut microbiota alpha-1 diversity, insulin resistance, HDL-cholesterol, daily count of highly microbiota-accessible foods, waist circumference, BMI, systolic blood pressure, ratio of fecal Proteobacteria to short chain fatty acid-generating bacteria and health-related quality of life.
