Breast Cancer Clinical Trials in Rochester, MN

This ComboMATCH patient screening trial is the gateway to a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment directed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation. ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.

This Phase III Trial evaluates whether breast conservation surgery and endocrine therapy results in a non-inferior rate of invasive or non-invasive ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) compared to breast conservation with breast radiation and endocrine therapy. Read Less

This Phase III Trial will determine whether adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) added to ovarian function suppression (OFS) plus endocrine therapy (ET) is superior to OFS plus ET in improving invasive breast cancer-free survival (IBCFS) among premenopausal, early- stage breast cancer (EBC) patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2-negative tumors and 21-gene recurrence score (RS) between 16-25 (for pN0 patients) and 0-25 (for pN1 patients).

This Phase III trial will examine the efficacy of computerized cognitive training methods on perceived cognitive impairment in breast cancer survivors. Read Less

PUMA-ALI-1201 is a randomized, dose optimization, multicenter, Phase 2 study of alisertib administered in combination with endocrine therapy in participants with pathology-confirmed HR-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (MBC) following progression on or after at least two prior lines of endocrine therapy in the recurrent or metastatic setting. This study is intended to evaluate the optimal alisertib dose administered in combination with the selected endocrine therapy. The study is also planned to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of alisertib in combination with endocrine and to identify the biomarker-defined subgroup(s) that may benefit most from combined alisertib and endocrine therapy.

This clinical trial studies eliminating surgery and how well radiation therapy after systemic therapy works in treating patients with HER2 positive or triple negative breast cancer when image-guided biopsy shows no residual cancer. Patients then receive standard breast radiotherapy. Read Less

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of AB598 when taken alone, and in combination with zimberelimab and standard chemotherapy in participants with advanced malignancies. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of the combination of lasofoxifene and abemaciclib compared to fulvestrant and abemaciclib for the treatment of pre- and postmenopausal women and men who have previously received ribociclib or palbociclib-based treatment and have locally advanced or metastatic estrogen receptor positive (ER+)/human epidermal growth factor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer with an estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) mutation. The main question the study aims to answer is: • To compare the efficacy of the combination of lasofoxifene and abemaciclib with that of fulvestrant and abemaciclib Participants will receive either receive 5 mg/d of oral lasofoxifene plus oral abemaciclib 150 mg twice a day or the combination of fulvestrant 500 mg intramuscular (IM) on Days 1, 15, and 29 and then once monthly thereafter plus oral abemaciclib 150 mg twice a day.

This open-label research study is studying (Z)-endoxifen as a possible treatment for pre-menopausal women with ER+/HER2- breast cancer. (Z)-endoxifen belongs to a group of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators or "SERM", which help block estrogen from attaching to cancer cells. This study has two parts: a pharmacokinetic part and a treatment part. The PK part (how the body processes the drug) will enroll about 18 participants. All participants will take (Z)-endoxifen capsules daily. Twelve participants will be randomly assigned (50/50 chance) to take (Z)-endoxifen alone or (Z)-endoxifen with a monthly injection of goserelin a drug that temporarily stops the ovaries from making estrogen. This part will help determine the best dose of (Z)-endoxifen by measuring the drug levels in the blood and how long the body takes to remove it. The treatment part has two parts: * Part 2a will enroll 162 participants whose tumors have a high level of cell proliferation as indicated by the presence of a biomarker called Ki-67 (greater than 10%). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups (50/50 chance): 1. a group receiving (Z)-endoxifen daily with a monthly injection of goserelin 2. a group receiving the current standard treatment of exemestane (an aromatase inhibitor that lowers estrogen) with a monthly injection of goserelin. * The Part 2b will enroll about 30 participants whose tumors have low Ki-67 levels (10% or less). These participants will take daily (Z)-endoxifen alone without goserelin. A key goal of the study is to see if (Z)-endoxifen can slow down or stop tumor growth as measured by a reduction in Ki-67 levels. Tumor tissue samples will be taken by breast biopsy after about 4 weeks of treatment to check levels of this biomarker. If the tumor shows signs of response, participants can continue treatment for up to 24 weeks or until they have surgery. Study participation is up to 6 months (24 weeks of treatment) followed by surgery and a one-month follow up visit. Read Less

This pilot study seeks to understand how changes in the bacteria composition (microbiome) of the gut may be associated with the occurrence of fatigue and chemotherapy-induced nausea (CIN) in women undergoing chemotherapy for early stage breast cancer. Patients undergoing chemotherapy may experience fatigue or nausea as a result of their treatment. Known risk factors for fatigue and CIN do not explain the differences in fatigue and CIN occurrence between patients, but changes in the functions of the gut microbiome may be related to the occurrence of fatigue and CIN. This study collects stool samples from breast cancer patients before and after chemotherapy to evaluate how changes in the microbiome may be associated with fatigue and CIN. Read Less

The primary objective of the study is to measure efficacy of saruparib (AZD5305) plus camizestrant compared with physician's choice CDK4/6i plus ET in patients with BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2m, HR-positive, HER2-negative (defined as IHC 0, 1+, 2+/ ISH non-amplified) advanced breast cancer. Read Less

This is a Phase III open-label study to assess if camizestrant improves outcomes compared to standard adjuvant endocrine therapy for patients with ER+/HER2- early breast cancer with intermediate-high or high risk for disease recurrence who completed definitive locoregional therapy (with or without chemotherapy). The planned duration of treatment in either arm within the study will be 7 years. Read Less
