Breast Cancer Screening Based on Individual Risk Factors and Comparing the Effectiveness of 3D to 2D Mammography

Tomosynthesis Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (TMIST) Scientific Title

Purpose

To study if risk-based screening for breast cancer is as safe and effective as age-based screening and if (3D) mammography is better than (2D) mammography at finding early-stage tumors.

People with advanced (some stage III) or metastatic (stage IV) triple negative (ER-, PR-, HER2-) breast cancer that is PD-L1 negative who have received 0-1 lines of therapy for advanced or metastatic disease. You must not have received PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane®), paclitaxel (Taxol®), or docetaxel (Taxotere®) for advanced or metastatic disease. Full eligibility criteria

Additional Therapy after Standard Treatment for Women with Stage I-III, ER+, HER2- Breast Cancer with Residual Disease by ctDNA Testing

Phase II Study of CDK 4/6 Inhibitor, LEE011 (Ribociclib), in Combination With Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy at Varying Duration for ER-positive Breast Cancer (LEADER) Scientific Title

Purpose

To study the anti-cancer activity, safety, and side effects of giving additional treatment with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor to treat residual disease defined as testing positive for ctDNA.

Who is this for?

Women with stage I, stage II, or stage III estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), HER2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer who have completed treatment (other than hormone therapy) for breast cancer and test positive for detectable disease with a ctDNA test. You will be given a blood test to look for ctDNA. You may enroll in this trial up to ten years after diagnosis. Full eligibility criteria

Using MRIs to Screen for Brain Metastases in Advanced Breast Cancer

Screening Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Managed With First/Second Line Chemotherapy or Inflammatory Breast Cancer Managed With Definitive Intent: A Prospective Study Scientific Title

Purpose

To study if using MRIs to screen for brain metastases (breast cancer that has spread to the brain) is safe and finds brain metastases earlier than the standard of care (no screening).

Who is this for?

People with advanced (some stage III) or metastatic (stage IV) breast cancer who will be starting their first or second chemotherapy for advanced disease. Full eligibility criteria
