KaCrole Higgins was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020. “In May 2020, I found a lump in my breast. I cried. By June, it was diagnosed as breast cancer, triple positive, stage 1A. While getting this cancer diagnosis was devastating, it also became an opportunity. Suddenly, the cancer gave me clarity. It gave me clarity about what was important, what was good in my life, what was toxic in my life, and what I needed to do.” Click below to read more of KaCrole’s story

If Landon Ryan had been diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma 10, 20 or 30 years ago, she might not be here today with nearly perfect vision.Thanks to recent improvements in the treatment for this rare form of cancer that almost exclusively affects children under the age of 5, the diagnosis had the power to change Landon’s life when she was 11 months old, but not to take it — or her eyesight.

Targeted Therapy Directed by Genetic Testing in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced or Advanced Solid Tumors, The ComboMATCH Screening Trial

Multiple Cancer Types

This ComboMATCH patient screening trial is the gateway to a coordinated set of clinical trials to study cancer treatment directed by genetic testing. Patients with solid tumors that have spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) or have spread to other places in the body (advanced) and have progressed on at least one line of standard systemic therapy or have no standard treatment that has been shown to prolong overall survival may be candidates for these trials. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with some genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit from treatment that targets that particular genetic mutation. ComboMATCH is designed to match patients to a treatment that may work to control their tumor and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with locally advanced or advanced solid tumors.

Gene Signatures to Guide HR+MBC Therapy in a Diverse Cohort

Breast

This is an open-label, multicenter, two-arm Phase II clinical trial that will evaluate the impact of 2nd line chemotherapy (i.e. capecitabine) on survival in patients with non-Luminal A hormone receptor-positive (HR+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC)

(Z)-Endoxifen for the Treatment of Premenopausal Women With ER+/HER2- Breast Cancer

Breast

This open-label research study is studying (Z)-endoxifen as a possible treatment for pre-menopausal women with ER+/HER2- breast cancer. (Z)-endoxifen belongs to a group of drugs called selective estrogen receptor modulators or "SERM", which help block estrogen from attaching to cancer cells. This study has two parts: a pharmacokinetic part and a treatment part.

The PK part (how the body processes the drug) will enroll about 18 participants. All participants will take (Z)-endoxifen capsules daily. Twelve participants will be randomly assigned (50/50 chance) to take (Z)-endoxifen alone or (Z)-endoxifen with a monthly injection of goserelin a drug that temporarily stops the ovaries from making estrogen. This part will help determine the best dose of (Z)-endoxifen by measuring the drug levels in the blood and how long the body takes to remove it.

The Treatment Cohort has been simplified to a single study arm (Z)-endoxifen + goserelin. Up to 20 participants will be enrolled that have a baseline Ki-67 10% and 45 participants will be enrolled that have a baseline Ki-67\>10%.

A key goal of the study is to see if (Z)-endoxifen can slow down or stop tumor growth as measured by a reduction in Ki-67 levels. Tumor tissue samples will be taken by breast biopsy after about 4 weeks of treatment to check levels of this biomarker. If the tumor shows signs of response, participants can continue treatment for up to 24 weeks or until they have surgery.

Study participation is up to 6 months (24 weeks of treatment) followed by surgery and a one-month follow up visit.

Pilot Study of [68Ga]Ga-ABY-025 Imaging in Patients Undergoing Treatment With HER2-targeted Therapy

Multiple Cancer Types

The purpose of this study is to determine if the radiotracer, \[68Ga\]Ga-ABY-025, used for PET imaging can help us better identify and visualize lesions or tumors, in patients who are receiving standard of care therapy HER2+ cancers.
