CLINICAL TRIALS

NEW Featured Clinical Trials

*MBCBrainMets.org is currently featuring clinical trials led by our

Medical Advisory Board. Not every clinical trial is a good match for every patient, but there are many ongoing and new clinical trials for patients living with MBC Brain Mets and Leptomeningeal Disease. We hope you find it a helpful way to learn about one of the trials currently recruiting patients.

Screening MRI of the Brain in Patients with Metastatic or Inflammatory Breast Cancer: A Prospective Study

Watch the video below to hear Dr. Ayal Aizer, Radiation Oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, discuss the Screening MRI of the Brain in Patients with Metastatic or Inflammatory Breast Cancer: A Prospective Study.

The overall goal of this research study is to determine whether screening MRIs of the brain can help find brain metastases from breast cancer, if present. It is possible that screening MRIs may prevent neurologic symptoms that could otherwise develop and/or indicate that less aggressive brain-directed management would be appropriate.

Subgroup analyses from the phase 3 ASCENT study of sacituzumab govitecan in metastatic triple-negative breast cancer - npj Breast Cancer

In this post hoc analysis of the ASCENT study, we compared outcomes with sacituzumab govitecan (SG) vs single-agent chemotherapy in clinically important subgroups of patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). Patients with mTNBC refractory to/relapsing after ≥2 prior chemotherapies (≥1 in the metastatic setting) were randomized 1:1 to receive SG or treatment of physician's choice (TPC) until unacceptable toxicity/progression.

Clinico-pathologic factors and survival of patients with breast cancer diagnosed with de novo brain metastasis: a national cancer database analysis - Breast Cancer Research and Treatment

Patients with Breast Cancer (BC) with Brain Metastasis (BCBM) have poor survival outcomes. We aimed to explore the clinico-pathologic and therapeutic factors predicting the survival in patients with de novo BCBM using the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Patients and methods The NCDB was queried for patients with BC between 2010 and 2020.
