Project SOAR for Breast Cancer

Los Angeles, California
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an approach to promote well-being in Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can the Project SOAR (Speaking Our African American Realities) Awakenings online intervention improve depressive symptoms in Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer? * Can the Project SOAR (Speaking Our African American Realities) Awakenings intervention improve fatigue in Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer? * Can the Project SOAR (Speaking Our African American Realities) Awakenings intervention improve well-being in Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer? Researchers will compare the Awakenings online intervention to a comparison condition, to see if women in the Awakenings group improve on depressive symptoms, fatigue, and well-being more than women in the comparison group. Women in the comparison condition will receive materials by mail to use on their own. Participants will: * be randomized (selected by chance) to take part in four Project SOAR Gatherings, which are small group, 90-minute to two-hour online discussions with other Black American women diagnosed with breast cancer and are designed to promote well-being OR to a comparison group. Rev. Dr.(Hon) Tammie Denyse, a 20-year breast cancer survivor and patient advocate, will lead the Gatherings, along with other experts. * devote about eight hours for women in the Project SOAR Gatherings discussions and two hours for women in the comparison group. * complete online questionnaires at the beginning of the study and one month and three months later. * receive a box of resources (e.g., book, cup, blanket, journal) designed to promote well-being.

Mobile Health for Breast Cancer

Los Angeles, California
This clinical trial compares the use of the connected customized treatment platform (CONCURxP), consisting of using a medication monitoring device called WiseBag along with text message reminders for missed or extra medication events, to enhanced usual care (EUC), where patients only use the WiseBag, to monitor medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor. To ensure CDK4/6 inhibitors achieve their full clinical benefit, patients need to take them as prescribed, following a complex treatment schedule. Forgetfulness was the most common reason reported for medication non adherence. Using the WiseBag along with CONCURxP or enhanced usual care may improve medication adherence in patients with metastatic breast cancer who are taking a CKD4/6 inhibitor.

Robotic vs. Open Mastectomy for Breast Cancer

Los Angeles, California
This trial compares the safety and effectiveness of a new robotic surgery tool, the da Vinci SP Surgical System, to traditional open surgery for patients undergoing breast surgery that spares the nipple. The robotic system aims to improve precision and recovery. The da Vinci SP Surgical System is one of the latest versions of robotic surgery systems, designed for minimally invasive procedures.

Cryoneurolysis for Post-Mastectomy Pain

Los Angeles, California
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. Removal of the breast, called "mastectomy", is performed either when there is cancer-or an increased risk of cancer-in the breast. This can result in a lot of pain during the months after surgery. Opioids-"narcotics"-are the most common pain control method provided to patients; but they frequently do not relieve enough pain, have undesirable side effects like vomiting and constipation, and are sometimes misused which can lead to addiction. Mastectomy also frequently results in long-term pain which can interfere with physical and emotional functioning; and the more pain patients have immediately after surgery, the greater the risk of developing long-term pain. Numbing the nerves with local anesthetic can decrease the amount of short- and long-term pain experienced by patients, but even the longest types of these nerve blocks last for hours or days, and not the 1-2 months of pain typically following mastectomy. So, there is reason to believe that if the nerve blocks could be extended so that they last longer than the pain from surgery, short- and long-term pain might be avoided completely without the need for opioids. A prolonged nerve block may be provided by freezing the nerve using a technique called "cryoneurolysis". With cryoneurolysis and ultrasound machines, a small needle-like "probe" may be placed through anesthetized skin and guided to the target nerve to allow freezing. The procedure takes about 5 minutes for each nerve, involves little discomfort, has no side effects, and cannot be misused or become addictive. After 2-3 months, the nerve returns to normal functioning. The investigators have completed a small study suggesting that a single cryoneurolysis treatment may provide potent pain relief after mastectomy. The ultimate objectives of the proposed research study are to determine if temporarily freezing the nerves that go to the breast will decrease short-term pain, opioid use, physical and emotional dysfunction, and long-term pain following mastectomy when added to current and customary postoperative analgesics. The current project is a pragmatic, multicenter, randomized, triple-masked (investigators, participants, statisticians), sham/placebo-controlled, parallel-arm, human-subjects, post-market clinical trial to determine if cryoneurolysis is an effective non-opioid treatment for pain following mastectomy.

Curcumin for Joint Pain in Breast Cancer Survivors

South Pasadena, California
This trial studies whether a special form of curcumin can reduce joint pain in breast cancer survivors who have pain from their cancer treatment. Curcumin, found in turmeric, is known for its anti-inflammatory effects. The trial aims to see if this natural substance can help these patients feel better. Curcumin, derived from turmeric, has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and has shown potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties in various studies.

Marker-Directed Monitoring for Breast Cancer

Los Angeles, California
This trial studies if using blood tests to decide when to do scans is as effective as the standard way for monitoring patients with a specific type of breast cancer that has spread. The blood tests act like an early warning system for cancer activity.

Radiation Therapy for Early-Stage Breast Cancer

South Pasadena, California
This randomized phase III trial studies standard or comprehensive radiation therapy in treating patients with early-stage breast cancer who have undergone surgery. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether comprehensive radiation therapy is more effective than standard radiation therapy in treating patients with breast cancer

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've had radiation and as far as I know I’m in remission, but my brother passed away with the same condition. I don’t mind helping research for a cure... my husband passed away with pancreatic cancer. I've had a stepdaughter that passed away with ovarian cancer at 20. I just think it’s time to knock cancer out! I'd really like to help find better treatments by participating in a trial."

"My mom has cholangiocarcinoma with bone mts (FGFR2 mutation). She really needs this trial to survive. She’s active and her analysis is ok, but we have very limited other options. Hope to work with a high-quality clinic to prolong her quality and duration of life."

Cholangiocarcinoma PatientAge: 54

"I've tried chemotherapy and radiation but the cancer recurred. My oncologist suggested that I might want to try a clinical trial given my situation. Just starting to research, hoping to learn more."

FR
Lung Cancer PatientAge: 71

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

ID
Pancreatic Cancer PatientAge: 40

"I had two chemotherapy regímens without success, three surgeries during which the tumor could not be resected. These clinical trials are a light of hope for me and my family (I have a five year old child) and I have read about cases of success in other types of cancer with this treatment. I think that I am a perfect candidate for this tríal. Thank you."
