The goal of AMPLITUDE is to see if adding the PARP inhibitor niraparib to standard of care hormone therapy (Abiraterone Acetate, prednisone and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is safe and more effective than standard of care alone. The study is enrolling people who have metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer and have an inherited or tumor mutation in one of the following genes involved in DNA damage repair: BRCA2, BRCA1, BRIP1, CHEK2, FANCA, PALB2, RAD51B and RAD54L.

This study aims to explore family communication differences across Chinese, Indian, and Filipino American families  about testing positive for an inherited mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, BARD1, BRIP1, CHEK2, PALB2, PTEN, RAD51C, RAD51D, TP53 or another gene linked to hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer. Participants will complete a 10–15-minute initial intake survey to confirm eligibility. Eligible participants will then be contacted to schedule a 30-45-minute-long interview over Zoom to explore these topics. After completion of the interview, participants will be entered into a raffle for two $50 Visa gift cards. There are no costs associated with participation.

The goal of this study is to compare the effectiveness of three different drug combinations to treat men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPR), who also have a mutation in a gene that affects DNA repair found through tumor testing. 

PAVO is an open-label Phase II study investigating if the study drug, a PARP inhibitor called niraparib (Zejula), is safe and effective for certain people who have been diagnosed with an
advanced solid tumor with either an inherited or tumor PALB2 mutation.

This study will look at how enhanced prostate cancer screening using MRI will improve early detection rates and further understanding of how inherited mutations can lead to development of prostate cancer.

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic, McGill University and FORCE are conducting a survey of women with a BRCA1/2 mutation, or who come from a family with a known BRCA mutation but tested negative, or have not had testing. Our goal is to learn about the information needs and decisions made related to endometrial cancer risk. https://tinyurl.com/BRCAMUTATION

The goal of this study is to measure whether a web-based patient-reported symptom monitoring and self management portal, Young, Empowered & Strong (YES), improves the quality of life of young breast cancer survivors. 

This study is looking at whether removal of the fallopian tubes (salpingectomy) followed by removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy) at a later date closer to the time of natural menopause may reduce the risk of ovarian cancer nearly as much as removing both the ovaries and fallopian tubes at the same time (salpingo-oophorectomy) among women with an inherited BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, RAD51C or RAD51D mutation. Removing the fallopian tubes only first and the ovaries at a later time closer to natural menopause may lessen menopausal symptoms while still lowering the risk for ovarian cancer.

This study will look at how well patients with recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer respond to treatment with a targeted therapy known as an ATR inhibitor when combined with the PARP inhibitor Olaparib.

This study seeks to interview individuals who come from families with high cancer risk and/or who have tested positive for BRCA 1/2 genetic mutation. We are also interested in individuals who may be contemplating BRCA 1/2 genetic testing; those who feel they lack access to genetic testing or who feel they lack information and social and medical support with regard to getting access to genetic testing; those who have been diagnosed with breast cancer who may be at high risk for a range of hereditary cancer. We are especially hoping to reach racially and ethnically diverse males and females whose experiences are often left out of research studies.
