Breast Cancer Clinical Trials in Houston, TX

This prospective, blinded, single-arm study aims to test the performance of nanomechanical phenotype in predicting tumor type, tumor aggressiveness, and neoadjuvant treatment response compared to the gold standard of histopathological assessment. The study involves patients with suspicious breast lesions who will undergo a breast biopsy procedure indicated by standard of care. The nanomechanical phenotype will be measured on the freshly obtained breast biopsies or tissue from breast surgeries. Read Less

This is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label, first-in-human study of YL202 conducted in the United States and China. The study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of YL202 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated NSCLC or hormone receptor (HR)-positive and HER2-negative BC, which have been heavily treated by standard treatment.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of the study drug AO-252 and identify the best dose for use in future studies. Read Less

This study collects information and identifies decision making needs for older adult women with stage I-III breast cancer considering neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy. Using this information, a decision support tool is then developed to provide patients and physicians with tailored information regarding the risks and benefits of chemotherapy and values clarification to support high-quality, shared decision. Subsequently, the decision support tool will be tested amongst older patients with early-stage breast cancer and health care providers navigating the decision process around chemotherapy, and further refined through an iterative process.

This is a Phase 1b open-label, 2-part study in 3 treatment groups. The 3 treatment groups are as follows: Treatment Group 1: OP-1250 in combination with ribociclib (KISQALI®, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation). Treatment Group 2: OP-1250 in combination with alpelisib (PIQRAY®, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation). Treatment Group 3: OP-1250 in combination with everolimus. Read Less

This study is being done to see if anti-HER2 treatment be safely stopped in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) that have had exceptional response to treatment. Exceptional response" is considered as cancer progression being controlled for three years or more since starting anti-HER2 treatment. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to provide prospective evidence that the use of Magseed/Sentimag in marking axillary lymph nodes and guiding surgical localization in patients with breast cancer following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is effective. Read Less

This prospective, multicenter, 1:1 randomized, controlled trial is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Breast Cancer Locator (BCL) in subjects with non-palpable invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Subjects will be randomized to breast conserving surgery (BCS) utilizing either the BCL or wire localization (WL) to guide surgery. Read Less

This will be a Phase 1, multicenter, open-label trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and efficacy of ZN-A-1041 as a monotherapy or in combination in patients with HER2-positive advanced solid tumors with or without brain metastases. The study will consist of three phases: Phase 1a (dose escalation with ZN-A-1041 monotherapy), Phase 1b (dose escalation with ZN-A-1041 combination therapy) and Phase 1c (dose expansion with ZN-A-1041 combination therapy).

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug combination (trastuzumab deruxtecan and durvalumab) to learn whether the intervention works in treating Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor-2 (HER2)-expressing inflammatory breast cancer. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Trastuzumab deruxtecan * Durvalumab Read Less

This study develops infertility survey among reproductive age women with gynecological and breast cancer. This study aims to learn how women consider whether or not to try to have a baby after surviving cancer. The advice gathered from this survey may be shared with patients and survivors in the future, so that they have information to inform their decisions about cancer treatment and family planning.

Cancer survivors have unique healthcare needs, including managing serious late effects, ongoing surveillance, lifestyle modifications to reduce second cancer risk, and psychosocial support. Nearly 70% of survivors have at least one comorbid chronic condition in addition to cancer, which complicates the delivery of quality cancer care. Medically underserved patients, who bear the highest burden of multiple chronic conditions, are at increased risk for poor outcomes during and after cancer treatment. Enhancing communication and collaboration between oncologists and primary care providers (PCPs) could improve health outcomes and care transitions for these patients, who often lack healthcare knowledge and access to supportive care. This study evaluates a novel shared care model for cancer survivors with chronic comorbidities, called OPTIMISE (Oncology-Primary Care Partnership to Improve Comprehensive Survivorship Care), in the largest safety-net healthcare system in Houston, Texas. Three hundred newly diagnosed breast, gastrointestinal, and hematological cancer patients being treated with curative intent and having comorbidities requiring ongoing management will be randomized to either OPTIMISE or Usual Medical Care (UMC). UMC patients will receive cancer treatment directed by their oncologist, a survivorship care plan (SCP) at the end of active treatment, and surveillance visits based on national guidelines. OPTIMISE patients will: 1) have an oncology nurse navigator assigned to their care team at diagnosis to facilitate oncologist-PCP communication; 2) receive coordinated care between their oncologist and PCP throughout cancer treatment and surveillance, facilitated by structured communication and referral processes; 3) receive an SCP that incorporates comorbidity management; and 4) follow a risk-stratified shared care model where some routine oncologist follow-up visits are replaced by PCP visits. Aim 1a evaluates OPTIMISE's impact on patient chronic disease self-management (primary outcome) and quality of life (secondary outcome). Aim 1b explores OPTIMISE's effects on healthcare use and patient unmet needs during and after treatment. Aim 2 examines OPTIMISE's impact on oncologist and PCP attitudes and care coordination. Aim 3 elucidates patient- and system-level factors influencing implementation outcomes. If effective, OPTIMISE could expand to other cancers and enhance care transitions in various medical settings.
