LYMPHA Procedure for the Prevention of Lymphedema After Axillary Lymphadenectomy
Not Recruiting
More
Lymphedema is a chronic, progressive, and debilitating condition that occurs with disruption
or obstruction of the lymphatic system, which commonly occurs a result of breast cancer
therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of a low risk lymphatic
reconstruction procedure at the time of axillary lymph node dissection will reduce the risk
of developing lymphedema. Additionally, to determine if this procedure improves objective
outcomes of lymphedema and patient quality of life

Investigation of Novel Surgical Imaging for Tumor Excision
Not Recruiting
More
This is a multi-center, two-arm randomized, blinded pivotal study to demonstrate the safety
and efficacy of the LUM Imaging System (LUM015 imaging agent in conjunction with the LUM
Imaging Device and decision software), in identifying residual cancer in the lumpectomy bed
of female breast cancer patients undergoing breast surgery in order to assist surgeons in
reducing the rates of positive margins.
All enrolled subjects will be injected with LUM015 prior to surgery. Surgeons are blinded to
whether a participant will be randomized into the device arm until after the standard of care
lumpectomy is complete. Participants will then be randomized to receiving the device.
Therapeutic (LUM guided) shaves will be removed based on the guidance of the LUM Imaging
System. Patients will be followed until their first standard of care post-operative follow-up
visit.

Intraoperative Detection of Residual Cancer in Breast Cancer
Not Recruiting
More
This is a non-randomized, open-label, multi-site study to collect safety and efficacy data on
an intraoperative imaging system, the LUM Imaging System (LUM015 imaging agent in conjunction
with the LUM imaging device), in identifying residual cancer in the tumor bed of female
breast cancer patients. During the study, study physicians and clinical staff will complete
hands-on training in anticipation of the upcoming pivotal study. Site-specific or
user-specific issues related to the use of the device will be identified and addressed.
Additionally, the data collected in the study will be used to continue training the tumor
detection algorithm of the device.
In this study, patients will be injected with LUM015 prior to surgery. The study physicians
will perform lumpectomy procedures according to his or her institution's standard of care
practice. After the main specimen removal is completed, the study physician will use the LUM
Imaging Device to image the tumor bed. Therapeutic shaves will be removed based on the
recommendation of the LUM Imaging System. Patients will be followed until their first
standard of care post-operative follow-up visit.

A Study of AC Followed by a Combination of Paclitaxel Plus Trastuzumab or Lapatinib or Both Given Before Surgery to Patients With Operable HER2 Positive Invasive Breast Cancer

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether breast cancer tumors respond (as
measured by pathologic complete response: the absence of microscopic evidence of invasive
tumor cells in the breast) to combined chemotherapy of AC(doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide)
followed by paclitaxel plus trastuzumab or lapatinib or both given before surgery to patients
with HER2-positive breast cancer. Trastuzumab will also be given to all patients after
surgery. The study will also evaluate the toxic effects of the chemotherapy combination,
including effects on the heart, and will determine survival and progression-free survival 5
years after treatment. Also, the study will look at whether there are gene expression
profiles in the tumor tissue that can predict pathologic complete response.

Testing the Drug Atezolizumab or Placebo With Usual Therapy in First-Line HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer
Not Recruiting
More
This randomized phase III trial studies how well paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab with
or without atezolizumab works in treating patients with breast cancer that has spread to
other parts of the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, work in
different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping
them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Trastuzumab is a form of "targeted
therapy" because it works by attaching itself to specific molecules (receptors) on the
surface of cancer cells, known as HER2 receptors. When trastuzumab attaches to HER2
receptors, the signals that tell the cells to grow are blocked and the cancer cell may be
marked for destruction by the body's immune system. Monoclonal antibodies, such as
pertuzumab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy
with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may induce changes in body's immune system
and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known
whether giving paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab with or without atezolizumab may kill
more tumor cells.
*NOTE: This study has a central confirmation step. The purpose of this step is to confirm by
central testing that the patient's tumor has specific receptors. If the patient meets all the
study requirements, the patient will join the study and begin therapy for breast cancer while
the tumor is being tested.

RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast tumor cells. Ovarian function
suppression combined with hormone therapy using tamoxifen or exemestane may fight breast

trastuzumab, and pertuzumab without estrogen deprivation in treating patients with hormone
receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer
that is operable or has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally
advanced). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, carboplatin, trastuzumab, and
pertuzumab, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the
cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than
one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Estrogen can cause the growth
of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy using goserelin acetate and aromatase inhibition
therapy may fight breast cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells. Radiation
therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy and

Pregnancy Outcome and Safety of Interrupting Therapy for Women With Endocrine Responsive Breast Cancer

The best available evidence suggests that pregnancy after breast cancer does not increase a
woman's risk of developing a recurrence from her breast cancer. In particular, the most
recent data suggest that this is the case also in women with a hormone receptor-positive

for the newborn. The aim of the study is to investigate if temporary interruption of
endocrine therapy, with the goal to permit pregnancy, is associated with a higher risk of
breast cancer recurrence.The study aims also to evaluate different specific indicators
related to fertility, pregnancy and breast cancer biology in young women. A

Hormone Therapy With or Without Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Women Who Have Undergone Surgery for Node-Negative Breast Cancer (The TAILORx Trial)
Not Recruiting
More
This randomized phase III trial studies the best individual therapy for women who have
node-negative, estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer by using a special test (Oncotype
DX), and whether hormone therapy alone or hormone therapy together with combination
chemotherapy is better for women who have an Oncotype DX recurrence score of 11-25. Estrogen
can cause the growth of breast cancer cells. Hormone therapy may fight breast cancer by
blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells or by lowering the amount of estrogen the
body makes. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor
cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from
spreading. Giving hormone therapy together with more than one chemotherapy drug (combination
chemotherapy) has been shown to reduce the chance of breast cancer recurrence, but the
benefit of adding chemotherapy to hormone therapy for women with node-negative,
estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer is small. New tests may provide information about
which patients are more likely to benefit from chemotherapy.
