Vacuum Assisted Biopsy Immediately Before Surgery as an Intra- or Pre-Operative Surrogate for Patient Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is common practice in the primary treatment of breast cancer, leading to a complete pathologic remission (pCR) of the tumor in more than 50% in aggressive tumor types. As NAC induces different response patterns, radiologic imaging is not sufficiently accurate in predicting residual disease. Because of this uncertainty, surgery is so far the only valid option to either ascertain complete response or to remove the complete residual disease. Vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) with the possibility of obtaining tissue of the former tumor center could contribute more reliably to detect any residual tumor or respectively, rule out residual disease. Ultrasound (US) or mammographically (MG) guided VAB will be used in this trial in order to detect residual tumor lesions in patients with radiological complete response (rCR) after NAC. The investigators will evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the post-NAC VAB sample in comparison to the sample obtained in open surgery.

Impact of a Breast cAncer Survivorship Interprofessional Community Care Model

With an increase in breast cancer survivors (BCS) in Singapore, the current oncologist-centric survivorship model will not be sustainable to respond to the rising demand of survivorship care services. To meet the long-term healthcare needs of Singaporeans in a sustainable manner, the investigators propose to pilot a breast cancer survivorship inter-professional community (BASIC) care model for cancer survivorship. This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of this care model for implementation among BCS and healthcare providers. The investigators hypothesize that the BASIC model is feasible and acceptable to be evaluated on a larger scale. This new follow-up model can potentially reduce waiting times in tertiary centers without compromising quality of care, directly benefiting participants through more efficient follow-up sessions.

Real-time Intraoperative Breast Cancer Visualization for Margin Assessment

The investigators' preclinical data have demonstrated the feasibility of fluorescence-guided tumor resection by Cancer Vision Goggles (CVG) with LS301 in animal models. In this study, the investigators will conduct intraoperative imaging procedures that have minimal interference with ongoing surgery. The underlying hypothesis is that the accurate detection of all cancer cells highlighted by LS301 during surgery will reduce the number of breast cancer patients with margin positivity to less than 5%, compared to the current surgical paradigm of greater than 20%. The pilot study will obtain critical data required to address the larger question of surgical margin assessment in a full Phase I clinical trial.

Bringing of PET-TDM FDG in the Determination of the Characteristics of Primary Mammary Tumors TrIple Negatives

"Triple Negative" breast cancers are a heterogeneous group characterized by the absence of hormone receptors to estrogen, progesterone and the absence of expression or amplification of the HER-2 gene. This type of cancer is associated with an adverse clinical profile with a high risk of early metastatic relapse. Accurate identification of prognostic factors, as well as predictors of therapeutic response, and the contribution of targeted therapies are avenues for improving the management and survival of patients with these cancers. Such an approach requires optimal biological characterization, allowing us to understand the complexity of this group of tumors, and requires multidisciplinary collaboration in clinical trials involving anatomopathology, oncology and morpho-functional imaging. The investigator's goal is to characterize by innovative methods (anatomo-pathological in particular Of Immunohistochemistry, and morpho-functional imaging (TEP-TDM FDG) semi-quantitative and texture) in a population of Triple Negative Breast Cancer scans better knowledge of this entity that can lead to the development of relevant therapeutic strategies and especially more adapted in the context of precision and personalized medicine.

Oral STAT3 Inhibitor, TTI-101, in Patients With Advanced Cancers

Many patients have cancers that have increased activity of a protein called STAT3 that contributes critically to the development and growth of their cancer. Despite our knowledge of STAT3's importance to cancer, scientists and doctors have not developed a drug that targets it and that patients can take to treat their cancer more effectively than treatments that are now available. Tvardi Therapeutics, Incorporated has developed a compound, TTI-101, which can be given by mouth and acts as a direct inhibitor of STAT3. Administration of TTI-101 to mice demonstrated that it blocked growth of cancers of the breast, head and neck, lung, and liver and it was safe when administered at high doses to mice, rats, and dogs. In this application, Tvardi is proposing to further develop TTI-101 for treatment of solid tumors for which the prognosis is dismal. The investigators will determine how safe it is when administered to patients with cancer, determine whether an adequate dose can be administered to patients with cancer that will block STAT3 in their cancer, and determine whether treatment with TTI-101 leads to reduced growth of their cancer.

Trial Comparing the Effects of Linear Versus Nonlinear Aerobic Training in Women With Operable Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of 3 different approaches to exercise training in women with early stage breast cancer who have completed all primary treatments (except hormone therapy, if appropriate). Prior research in women with early stage breast cancer has shown that some treatments may have an adverse impact on physical fitness levels leading to feelings of fatigue and poor quality of life. Supervised exercise training has been shown to reduce some of these side-effects. However, all the exercise programs have followed essentially the same approach. This study is designed to see if a different approach to exercise training is more effective than the conventional approach currently in use.

Implementing BREASTChoice Into Practice

Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is a highly personal decision. Although it can restore quality of life for many, there are numerous risks associated with the procedure. The risk of complications exceeds that of most elective procedures. In past work, a clinical decision support tool, BREASTChoice, with personalized risk information and patient preferences, was created to be used to address these issues. It was modified with extensive stakeholder input and built to be incorporated into electronic health records and patient portals. This randomized control trial will evaluate whether the implementation of BREASTChoice into routine care delivery is more effective than a control website, at improving the quality of reconstruction decisions.

Pantoprazole Prophylaxis Against Delayed CINV for Patients Receiving Breast Cancer Chemotherapy

This study explores whether a commonly used medication called Pantoprazole can help prevent delayed nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy for early breast cancer. Delayed nausea, and occasionally vomiting, can occur after breast cancer chemotherapy, affecting quality of life. A potential cause of these delayed side effects is that the chemotherapy may cause stomach irritation. Pantoprazole is commonly used to treat stomach irritation by reducing stomach acid, which may in turn improve nausea and/or vomiting. Patients undergoing breast cancer chemotherapy before or after primary surgery will be invited to participate in the study. They will be asked how much nausea or vomiting they have with and without Pantoprazole from Day 2 until 5 after they receive chemotherapy. All participants will still receive all of the usual anti-sickness medications, which are very effective in preventing sickness in the first 24 hours after treatment, but not for delayed symptoms. Information from the study may lead to a change in practice with patients using Pantoprazole to reduce the risks of delayed nausea and vomiting.

CFI-402257 in Combination With Paclitaxel in Patients With Advanced/Metastatic HER2-Negative Breast Cancer

The standard or usual treatment for this disease is to undergo chemotherapy to slow the spread of disease and relieve some symptoms of cancer. One of the standard types of chemotherapy is a drug called paclitaxel (Taxol) given in a low dose every week for three out of four weeks. CFI-402257 is a new type of drug for breast cancer. Laboratory tests show that it may help slow the growth of breast cancer. This drug has been shown to shrink tumours in animals. CFI-402257 has been studied in a few people and appears well tolerated with little side effects. CFI-402257 seems promising but it is not clear if it can offer better results when given with paclitaxel compared to paclitaxel alone.
