At Torrance Memorial Physician Network Cancer Care we are committed to
the advancement of effective new cancer therapy.
The following clinical trials are available at Torrance Memorial Physician
Network Cancer Care in coordination with the
TRIO-US / Clinical Trials Network. This is a unique opportunity for patients in the South Bay to receive
advanced research treatments previously restricted to university cancer
centers. TRIO-US / Clinical Trials Network affiliated program auspiciously
places Torrance Memorial Physician Network patients into the promising
new era of cancer treatment research. All patients enrolled in these trials
are treated at our
infusion center in Redondo Beach.
The following studies are subject to change by TRIO-US / Clinical Trials
Network and the participating pharmaceutical companies and may not be
continually or currently open. Enrollment and participation in these studies
is voluntary and patients can choose to withdraw at any time and for any
reason. All experimental study drugs are provided at no charge.
Each study has precise entry criteria for enrollment because the researchers
are attempting to answer a specific treatment question, within a specific
clinical parameter, so not all interested patients will be eligible to
participate. It is notable that most of the studies involve drugs that
are pathway-specific or targeted, which has been a major trend in cancer
research over the past decade as the molecular secrets of cancer growth
are revealed.

neoMonarch Lilly JPBY Breast Cancer |
A preoperative endocrine study for postmenopausal hormone receptor positive
breast cancer evaluating the effectiveness of adding a CKD4/6 inhibitor
to standard anastrozole (Arimidex). For 4 months before surgery. CKD4/6
inhibitors are active in increasing benefits of aromatase inhibitors in
stage 4 breast cancer. Aromatase inhibitors given before surgery result
in smaller cancers and lower mastectomy rates. |
