The proposed research study evaluates the potential of an oral FDA-approved medication, suvorexant, as compared with a placebo control to improve symptoms of sleep disturbance and insomnia in breast cancer survivors currently on hormonal based therapies. Eligible participants will randomly be selected to receive either the suvorexant or a placebo control for a duration of 4 Weeks. Participation in the study will include a screening process for eligibility including information on medical history and surveys regarding symptoms at the start of the study and additionally at 2 and 4 weeks. Potential benefits include improved sleep for individuals randomized to the study medication and potential study risks include loss of confidentiality of health information and a risk of sedation and complex sleep behaviors associated with the medication, suvorexant.
The study is for patients that have been diagnosed with with a certain type of breast cancer, characterized as HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2)-negative and hormonal receptor (HR)-positive, and with a specific characteristic (molecular subtype) called HeER2-Enriched. The investigational drugs used in this study are Ribociclib and Palbociclib. The main purpose of this study is to learn determine if participants with the specific HER2-Enriched subtype will have delayed progression of the disease when treated with ribociclib compared to palbociclib. Participants can expect to be in this study for up to 5 years.
This study is for people with low-risk HER-2 positive breast cancer. The study is being done to see if treatment with HER2-targeted therapy without radiation therapy as good as the usual treatment of radiation and HER2-targeted therapy in patients who have had surgery, chemotherapy, and HER2-targeted therapy.
This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and their doctor has recommended that they receive radiation therapy after their mastectomy to reduce the risk of their breast cancer coming back. This study is being done to see if the severity of skin redness and peeling in the area of radiation can be reduced by applying Mepitel Film during radiation therapy.
This study is for patients who have low risk breast cancer as indicated by their Oncotype DX Recurrence Score. The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of not giving regional radiotherapy to using regional radiotherapy.
This study is for women or men with hormone responsive breast cancer that has already been removed by surgery and have completed any required chemotherapy or radiation. The purpose of this study is to see whether treatment with everolimus plus hormone treatment after chemotherapy will increase the time without cancer returning. The current standard treatment after chemotherapy is hormone treatment alone. Everolimus is a drug currently approved for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic kidney cancer. It is considered investigational for breast cancer patients. In this study subjects will get hormone treatment with either everolimus or with placebo (a pill with no medication). The combination of hormone-treatment and everolimus is experimental in patients with breast cancer.
It is expected that subjects will be enrolled in this study for approximately 54 weeks or until side effects become too great, or until cancer returns. After subjects are finished with study treatment, they will return to the clinic every six months for the first 2 years and then yearly for the next 10 years.
The purpose of this study is to compare the good and bad effects of a new approach that includes surgery plus radiation for the tumor in your breast to the standard approach of continued treatment with the medication which is working to control your tumor.
