The PROMISE team is studying how these mutations affect patient outcomes.

This is a study to test the effectiveness of a drug (denosumab) on preventing the development of breast cancer in women with an inherited BRCA1 mutation.

Denosumab is a drug that is currently used to treat bone loss in order to reduce the risk of broken bones in healthy people, and is also used to reduce new bone growths in cancer patients whose cancer has spread to their bones. Research has shown that denosumab may also reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in women with an inherited BRCA1 mutation.

This study is for people with advanced or metastatic breast cancer, have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation and were previously treated with a PARP inhibitor. The study will examine how effective  Olaparib in combination with Cediranib or Ceralasertib is in reducing the size of cancer and determining the length of time patients respond well to the treatment.

CAPS5 is a study looking at screening for early cancer in people with an elevated lifetime risk of developing pancreatic cancer. The goal is to study biomarkers derived from images and tissue samples (blood, pancreas fluid, duodenal fluid) for the early detection of pancreatic cancer and precancerous lesions.

SOROCk [NRG-CC008] is a clinical trial studying if removal of just the fallopian tubes can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer nearly as much as removing both the ovaries and fallopian tubes among women with an inherited BRCA1 mutation. The main benefit of removing only the fallopian tubes and not the ovaries is to prevent surgically-induced menopause. The study will also examine various patient-reported quality of life outcomes. Researchers believe that most ovarian cancers first begin in the fallopian tubes, suggesting that removing the fallopian tubes only may prevent the development of ovarian cancer. This concept has never been formally testing in a clinical trial.

The PATROL (Prostate Cancer Screening for People AT Genetic Risk FOr Aggressive Disease) study is for people at risk for prostate cancer because they carry one or more genes that are known or suspected to increase prostate cancer risk: BRCA2, HOXB13, ATM, BRCA1, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PALB2, PMS2, CHEK2, RAD51D, or TP53.

This study is looking at the effectiveness of combining a PARP inhibitor called niraparib and an immunotherapy called dostarlimab for treating people with an inherited BRCA mutation (found with genetic testing) or a tumor mutation (found through tumor testing) who have breast, pancreatic, ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer that is metastatic or advanced and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable).

This study will test whether endometrial samples from tampons can be used for early detection of endometrial cancer and is open to women over 45 years of age who are undergoing hysterectomy surgery (surgery to remove the uterus)

FORCE is conducting a short survey to better understand the unmet needs of people who are at high risk for colorectal, pancreatic or prostate cancer. You can take the survey here. 

This study is being done to assess the safety and effectiveness of a series of vaccines (Tri-Ad5), together with another drug (N-803) that magnifies the body’s response to vaccines, to see if there is an effect on the risk of developing colon and other cancers in LS patients.

Understanding the psychological wellbeing of LGBTQIA+ cancer caregivers impacted by financial toxicity

This study compares the effect of sentinel lymph node mapping to standard lymph node dissection in reducing the risk of swelling in the legs (lymphedema) in patients undergoing a hysterectomy for stage I endometrial cancer.

Researchers at Pfizer and Arvinas are conducting the TACTIVE-U studies for people with ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer who have received at least one prior round of treatment and no more than two prior rounds of treatments for advanced or metastatic disease. One of these rounds of treatment must have included a CDK4/6 inhibitor (e.g., Kisqali, Verzenio, Ibrance). The TACTIVE-U studies are looking at the safety of an oral study medicine, ARV-471 (also known as vepdegestrant), and how well it works when combined with other breast cancer medicines.

PreCharge is an IRB approved, nationwide study funded by the National Cancer Institute. The purpose of this study is to test a digital program designed to help people affected by hereditary cancer and who have not been diagnosed with cancer improve their mental and emotional well-being.

The LiFT UP Study is a research project for individuals and families from around the world. The goal is to learn more about adults and children who have a change in the TP53 gene in their blood to better predict their specific cancer risks. This may be Li-Fraumeni syndrome [email protected](LFS) or something else, which we will examine in the LiFT UP Study.

Researchers at Pfizer and Arvinas are conducting the VERITAC-2 cinical trial for people with ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) breast cancer that has profressed after previous treatment. This clinical trial is specifically for people who have already been treated with CDK4/6 inhibitor* therapy in combination with hormone therapy for their locoregional recurrent/metastatic disease.

* CDK4/6 inhibitors include medications called palbociclib (IBRANCE®), ribociclib (KISQALI®), and abemaciclib (Verzenio®).

This research registry will collect and save data, cancer samples and family health history information to discover new ways cancer develops. It will look to find new genes that could be used for treatments and preventing cancer for people with hereditary cancer.

This study is testing a vaccine, known as the Nous-209 vaccine, which is intended to decrease the chances that people with Lynch syndrome will develop polyps that can turn into cancer.

This study will examine the effectiveness and safety of cemiplimab, a treatment given prior to surgery. Participants will undergo endoscopy after the therapy and take CT scans to assess the effects of the therapy. The study also will compare genes of pretreatment cancer samples between patients who responded well to the therapy and patients who did not.

Today, researchers are learning about breast cancer from a small subset of patients, who are not representative of all breast cancer patients. ShareForCures® is an online registry that offers people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer a way to participate in research by connecting information about themselves with their breast cancer diagnosis, medical records, genomics. Participation is open to anyone adult, living in the United States, and who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Those who carry the BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 gene mutations experience a higher lifetime risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, but we need to know more about the other genetic and non-genetic factors that may also influence risk. This study follows women with these gene mutations over time, striving to build the evidence we need to help them and others make better decisions to protect their health.

Researchers are studying the affects of this breast cancer vaccine on the immune system in two groups of people:

• For people diagnosed with stage 2 or stage 3 triple-negative breast cancer at high risk for recurrence.
• People with an inherited mutation in BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 who are planning to undergo a risk-reducing mastectomy.
