Targeting Stress-Driven Inflammatory and Angiogenic Pathways With Brief ACT to Enhance Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Response in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer

This clinical trial aims to learn whether a brief psychological therapy called Brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Brief-ACT) can improve the effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced breast cancer. It will also examine how this therapy affects stress levels and certain blood markers related to inflammation and tumor growth. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does Brief-ACT improve the rate of pathological complete response (pCR) after chemotherapy? Does Brief-ACT reduce levels of inflammatory and angiogenic biomarkers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)? Does Brief-ACT reduce psychological stress in patients undergoing chemotherapy? Researchers will compare patients who receive Brief-ACT in addition to standard chemotherapy with those who receive standard chemotherapy alone to see if there are differences in treatment response, stress levels, and biomarker levels. Participants will: Receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to standard treatment protocols Be assigned to receive Brief-ACT sessions or no additional psychological intervention Attend regular clinic visits for treatment and monitoring Provide blood samples at specific time points for laboratory analysis Complete questionnaires to assess psychological stress

PAveMenT: Palbociclib and Avelumab in Metastatic AR+ Triple Negative Breast Cancer

This clinical study is aiming to determine the safest doses and schedule for the combination of two drugs named palbociclib and avelumab. The study will also be investigating how effective the combination is for a subgroup of breast cancer patients whose cancer expresses the androgen receptor (AR) but not the oestrogen (hormone) or HER2 receptors. Palbociclib is a drug used in routine care for hormone-receptor (HR) positive and HER2 negative advanced breast cancer, the most common subtype of breast cancer. It is possible that the combination of palbociclib and avelumab will be a more effective cancer treatment than each drug separately, but this is unknown and this study is needed to establish the best dosage and schedule of each drug as well as how effective the combination is.

Neoadjuvant Therapy and Contrast-enhanced Mammography for Early Stage Breast Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare a special type of mammogram that uses a contrast agent called contrast-enhanced digital mammography with contrast-enhanced digital breast tomosynthesis (CEDM+CEDBT), with breast magnetic resonance imaging imaging (MRI) for predicting the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on pathologic complete response rates. The device used to obtain CEDM+CEDBT images is called Siemens MAMMOMAT. This device produces two-dimensional (2D) images, as in a normal mammogram, but also collects additional images for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), which produces a three-dimensional (3D) image of the breast in the form of image slices. DBT allows the radiologist to "see through" the breast tissue for better detection and localization of breast cancer. By looking at both the CEDM images and the CEDBT images, a radiologist may be able to better detect residual breast cancer in a more cost-effective manner. Participation may last up to 18 weeks. Study procedures for this research are: * Undergoing 1-2 mammograms during and/or after your chemotherapy, but before primary breast surgery. * Before each mammogram, have a radiology technician inject a liquid contrast agent by inserting a needle into a vein. The chemotherapy port cannot be used to receive the contrast agent * Let the research team record information from your medical record related to your condition and the treatment you receive. * Give permission to collect leftover tissue from your diagnostic biopsy and breast surgery.

SHR-A1811 Plus Pertuzumab as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Early or Locally Advanced HR-Positive HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: A Prospective, Open-Label, Phase II Study

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, with approximately 20% classified as HER2-positive. Anti-HER2 blockade (trastuzumab plus pertuzumab) combined with chemotherapy constitutes the standard neoadjuvant regimen; however, the pathological complete response (pCR) rate in the HR-positive subgroup remains only 35-40%, and platinum-containing schedules are associated with significant hematologic toxicity. Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) integrate targeted delivery with potent cytotoxic payloads. SHR-A1811 (ruikang-trastuzumab), a domestically developed ADC by Hengrui Pharmaceutical, is conjugated with a topoisomerase I inhibitor (mean drug-to-antibody ratio \[DAR\] ≈ 6). Preclinical data demonstrate that SHR-A1811 exhibits superior efficacy to trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in both trastuzumab-sensitive and resistant HER2-expressing tumor models, with a manageable safety profile. This prospective, open-label, phase II trial will enroll patients with early-stage/locally advanced HR-positive/HER2-positive breast cancer, who will receive neoadjuvant SHR-A1811 plus pertuzumab. At baseline, BluePrint gene profiling will be performed to stratify participants into luminal and non-luminal subtypes: patients with luminal subtype who achieve stable disease (SD) after 4 cycles will switch to a regimen of trastuzumab, pyrotinib, dalpiciclib, and an aromatase inhibitor for an additional 4 cycles; all other patients will continue ADC-based dual-target therapy for 2-4 further cycles, followed by surgical resection. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) dynamics will be dynamically monitored at baseline, after 4 cycles of treatment, and preoperatively to evaluate early treatment sensitivity. The primary endpoint is the pCR rate. Secondary endpoints include event-free survival (EFS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety profiles. Exploratory analyses will investigate the correlation between molecular subtypes and treatment responses, aiming to establish a chemotherapy-free, precision neoadjuvant strategy for HR-positive/HER2-positive breast cancer.

To Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Ipsilateral Supraclavicular Lymph Node Dissection for Breast Cancer Patients

For newly diagnosed ISLNM breast cancer, on the basis of effective treatment of the new auxiliary system, the optimal local treatment of the supraclavicular region remains controversial. Although guidelines such as NCCN recommend simple clavicular radiation therapy, there are studies suggesting that supraclavicular lymph node dissection can improve prognosis, and many hospitals in China are still accustomed to performing supraclavicular lymph node dissection. Therefore, ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node dissection is the first time to diagnose ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis of breast cancer. The effectiveness and safety of (stage IIIc) treatment still require prospective research to confirm.This project is a prospective, multicenter, non-interference real world study. In the real world study, the investigators evaluated the efficacy and safety of ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node dissection in the treatment of initially diagnosed ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph node metastasis breast cancer patients.

Predicting Response to Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Breast Cancer

Female breast cancer is the second leading cause of global cancer incidence in 2022 and the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Breast cancer (BC) remains the most prevalent cancer diagnosis among women; nevertheless, considerable advancements in diagnostics and treatment approaches have significantly enhanced patient outcomes. In locally advanced cases, primary systemic chemotherapy is often indicated, and the choice of treatment is influenced by the evaluation of routine prognostic and predictive factors. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) has emerged as a valuable approach to enhance the quality of life ,disease-free and overall survival for early and locally advanced BC patients Approximately 30% of BC cases achieve a pathological complete response (pCR) following NCT. Unfortunately, proper quantification of estrogen- and progesterone receptors (ER and PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2/Neu) and proliferation markers are insufficient to predict chemosensitivity of some breast tumors , so the identification of these cases during routine pathological examination of biopsy specimens could be especially useful in planning the oncotherapeutic strategy for proper patient management. CD10, has recently gained attention as an independent diagnostic and prognostic marker in various solid tumors with significant metastatic potential. This molecule has been shown to play a role in cell adhesion, migration, and extracellular matrix remodelling. A strong CD10 expression has been linked to hormone receptor negativity and HER-2/neu overexpression in breast cancer. Moreover, the dynamics of stromal CD10 expression undergo changes during neoadjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Recent research, has presented compelling data indicating that CD10 expression may serve as a predictive marker for the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.
