Bazedoxifene is a type of drug known as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) that is similar to the drug tamoxifen. A combination of bazedoxifene and estrogen taken orally has been used to control hot flashes. This study will look at hot-flashes, quality of life and breast changes in high-risk women taking the combination of drugs compared with women not taking the combination of drugs. Women will be selected at random to participate in the group receiving the drug and the group not receiving the drug. The study will involve breast imaging, blood tests and small sampling of breast tissue at the beginning and end of the study. 

This study seeks to interview individuals who come from families with high cancer risk and/or who have tested positive for a BRCA1 or BRCA2 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.

The purpose of this research is to study and understand the genetic and molecular causes of breast and prostate cancer in people with African ancestry. People in this study will complete a questionnaire about their environments and lifestyles. You will also give a blood sample and permission for the study team to access a piece of your cancer tissue from the center where you were treated. These blood and tissue samples will be used for molecular and genetic testing to look for changes that are only seen in the tumor as well as look for genetic changes that a person may have been born with, known as inherited gene mutations. Results of these tests will be provided to you. You will be followed by the study team for one year.

Online survey for patients and caregivers focusing on multiple aspects of cancer to understand its emotional, physical, practical, and financial impact, so we can identify and address gaps in care and support.

The purpose of this study is to see whether the combination of melphalan, BCNU, hydroxocobalamin, ascorbic acid, and autologous (self) bone marrow stem cell infusion, is safe and effective for treating patients with advanced pancreatic cancer or Stage IV, HER2-negative breast cancer who have a BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 inherited mutation. All of these treatments are given intravenously (by vein). This study is open to people who have already received a PARP inhibitor, as well as those who have not. There are no restrictions on the number of prior treatments a patient has received before enrolling.

Stanford researchers invite people diagnosed with stage 0 to stage 3 breast cancer to take this 15 minute survey to share your thoughts about the advantages and disadvantages of participating in a new type of clinical trial called “a window opportunity” trial. will use this information to help design future clinical trials.

This is a clinical trial sponsored by the American Cancer Society that will test the helpfulness of two programs designed to teach breast and gynecological cancer survivors and their partners to communicate and cope with physical, emotional, and relationship challenges after cancer. The programs are conducted entirely via Zoom videoconference, so travel is not required to participate.

We hope to understand women’s preferences about the benefits and effects of cancer-preventing surgeries. In this survey of women ages 25-50 with an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation and no personal history of cancer, we present scenarios and ask participants to make hypothetical choices. Your responses will help us to design educational tools for people who are at high risk of breast and ovarian cancer who face personal decisions about cancer prevention.

The All of Us Research Program is seeking one million people from across the U.S. to help build one of the most diverse health databases in history. We welcome participants from all backgrounds. People who join will share information about their health, habits, and what it’s like where they live. By looking for patterns, researchers may learn more about what affects people’s health.

The goal of this study is to look at how well a nerve graft works for improving sensation to the reconstructed breast after mastectomy in people undergoing DIEP flap reconstruction (deep inferior epigastric perforator flap). 

ICARE is a registry of individuals interested in participating in inherited cancer research, through which data and samples are collected to contribute to research. Participants are also provided with ongoing research and clinical updates and informed about other research opportunities for which they might be eligible. Participants are recruited across the United States and beyond. There is no cost to participate, and all materials can be completed online.

This study will look at how well a new oral targeted therapy known as an ATR inhibitor works on advanced or metastatic solid tumors with mutations in genes linked to DNA damage repair. The study will look at response to treatment with the drug ART0380 in combination with the chemotherapy agent, gemcitabine. 

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of using the immunotherapy drugs nivolumab and relatlimab in patients with microsatellite instability high (MSI-H) solid tumors resistant to prior PD-L1 therapy.

Both nivolumab and relatlimab are a type of immunotherapy known as immune checkpoint inhibitors. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are drugs that prevent cancer cells from switching off immune cells. This allows the immune system to find, unmask and destroy cancer cells.

This study will look at a new vaccine known as INO-5401 used alone or combined with a second vaccine called INO-9012. The study will test if the vaccine is safe (without large side effects) and test a new way of giving vaccines. It will also test whether the vaccine activates the immune system. A goal of this research is to reduce cancer risk in people with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. Additional studies will be needed to learn if this vaccine approach lowers cancer risk in mutation carriers. 

This study will look at how well the drug olaparib works in treating people who have been diagnosed with biliary tract (bile duct) cancer that has spread to other places in the body and who also have an inherited or tumor mutation in certain genes, including ATM, BRCA 1/2, BRIP1, CHEK2, RAD51C, RAD51D, PALB2, PTEN, NBN and others.  

This study is researching whether adding the immunotherapy drug Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) to the PARP inhibitor Olaparib (Lynparza) works better than olaparib alone in treating people with metastatic pancreatic cancer who also have an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation.  

The goal of MiDe is to develop a clinical diagnostic test to detect early onset ovarian cancer, as currently, there are no good screening or early detection tests available. Participants can be expected to provide up to 4 tubes of blood every 6 months for up to 5 years. We can collect these samples through mobile phlebotomy all around the US. The study is enrolling people with an inherited mutation with a gene linked to ovarian cancer, such as BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, PMS2, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or EPCAM. Participants can be expected to provide up to 4 tubes of blood every 6 months for up to 5 years. We can collect these samples through mobile phlebotomy all around the US.

The purpose of this study is to see how cancer treatment affects the ovaries, such as the impact on conceiving a child or the early onset of menopause. Comparatively, the study will also look at high-risk women with BRCA1/2 mutations (and no evidence of breast or ovarian cancer).

The study will check blood levels of hormones that the ovaries produce and will use questionnaires to gather information about participant menstrual cycles, health, and pregnancies. 

This is a study for patients with metastatic breast cancer who do not have an inherited mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 but who are are found to have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 acquired tumor mutation (somatic mutation) found through liquid biopsy. Patients are treated with talazoparib, a well-tolerated oral PARP inhibitor that targets the BRCA1and BRCA2 mutation to determine whether this treatment (which is already approved for germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers) is effective in this population.

PETRA is studying a new PARP inhibitor AZD5305 taken either alone or combined with other treatments in people with advanced ovarian, breast, prostate or pancreatic cancer with an inherited or tumor mutation in: BRCA1/2, PALB2, RAD51C or RAD51D. The treaments participants receive will depend on their cancer type, mutation and when they join the study.
