Shortening Adjuvant Photon and Proton Irradiation (SAPPHIRe-II): A 4 Cohort, Randomized, Phase II Multi-Center Trial Evaluating Shorter Schedules of Adjuvant Regional Nodal Irradiation Among Women and Men with Node-Positive and High-Risk Node-Negative InvShortening Adjuvant Photon and Proton Irradiation (SAPPHIRe-II): A 4 Cohort, Randomized, Phase II Multi-Center Trial Evaluating Shorter Schedules of Adjuvant Regional Nodal Irradiation Among Women and Men with Node-Positive and High-Risk Node-Negative InvTo learn about the effects of shorter RNI regimens in patients with breast cancer who have had a lumpectomy or mastectomy and who are at higher risk for lower risk for the disease returning.NCT07076485Shraddha Dalwadi, MD, MBA

UT San Antonio-led cancer research program could revolutionize treatment

Written by: Claire Kowalick More than 70% of cancers — including breast, bladder, cervical and lung cancer — show evidence of mutations linked to a group of enzymes called apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptides, or APOBEC. “APOBEC mutagenesis is the second-largest source of mutation in cancer and, importantly, the largest one we can do […]

A Randomized Phase II Study of Partial Breast Irradiation and Sequential vs. Concurrent Chemotherapy in Women with Early Stage Breast Cancer (PBI 3.0)A Randomized Phase II Study of Partial Breast Irradiation and Sequential vs. Concurrent Chemotherapy in Women with Early Stage Breast Cancer (PBI 3.0)In a small study at Johns Hopkins, women were treated with partial breast irradiation and chemotherapy given at the same time. We are now testing in a bigger study whether giving partial breast irradiation and chemotherapy at the same time (our new method) has the same side effects and outcomes as giving partial breast irradiation and chemotherapy at different times(older method). In this study women who had their breast cancer removed but need radiation to the breast will be randomized to partial breast irradiation at the same time as chemotherapy or partial breast radiation at a different time than chemotherapy. Randomization is like flipping a coin but in this study about 2 of every 3 women will get the new method.NCT01928589
Genetic Epidemiology of Breast and Ovarian CancersGenetic Epidemiology of Breast and Ovarian CancersA research study about factors that might increase the chance of getting breast and ovarian cancers. Eligible: female 18-80 yr old; diagnosed with breast cancer under age 50; diagnosed with ovarian cancer at any age; strong family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer.ClinicalTrials.gov registration not requiredGail Tomlinson MD, PhD
Improving Adherence to Endocrine Hormonal Therapy among Breast Cancer PatientsImproving Adherence to Endocrine Hormonal Therapy among Breast Cancer PatientsAdjuvant endocrine hormonal therapy (EHT) is highly effective and appropriate for nearly all breast cancer patients with hormone receptor-positive tumors, which represent 75% of all breast cancer diagnoses. Long-term use of EHT reduces cancer recurrence rates and cuts the risk of death nearly in half during the second decade after diagnosis, research shows. Despite the proven benefits, about 33% of women who are prescribed EHT do not take their medication as prescribed (less than 80% take their daily dosage) and are thus at higher risk of recurrence and death. This educational randomized controlled study will develop and pilot-test a bilingual, culturally tailored, personalized, interactive mobile application (app) in combination with patient navigation to promote and improve adherence to endocrine hormonal therapy (EHT) among breast cancer patients.NCT02850939
