A Phase III De-escalation of Breast Radiation for Stage I, Hormone Sensitive, HER2 Negative Breast Cancer (PSCI# 21-098) (NRG-BR007)

This study is being done to answer the following question:Is treatment with hormonal therapy as good as the usual treatment of radiation and hormonal therapy in women with low-risk breast cancer who have had lumpectomy? We are doing this study because we want to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for your breast cancer. The usual approach is defined as care most people get for low-risk, early stage breast cancer that is sensitive to hormones.

Pt will either have radiation therapy to the breast and take a hormonal drug for at least five years or you will only take a hormonal drug for at least five years.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase III Trial of Paclitaxel/Trastuzumab/Pertuzumab with Atezolizumab or Placebo in First-Line HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer (NRG-BR004) (PSCI# 20-136)

The purpose of this study is to compare the usual treatment plus placebo to the usual treatment plus atezolizumab. The addition of atezolizumab to the usual treatment could stabilize your cancer. This study will help the study doctors find out if this different approach is better, the same, or worse than the usual approach. To decide if it is better, the study doctors will be looking to see if the atezolizumab lengthens the time during and after the treatment of your cancer that you live with your cancer and it is stable. Atezolizumab is already approved by the FDA for use in non-small cell lung cancer and urinary cancer. Its use in this study is considered experimental. There will be about 600 people taking part in this study.

pt will initially get the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel or docetaxel along with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and either placebo or atezolizumab.

Using Exercise to Relieve Arthralgia (Joint Pain) and Improve AI Adherence in Older Survivors (REJOIN): A Pilot Study

Briefly, the purpose of this study is to use a self-management approach (combining education and exercise) to help older breast cancer survivors manage joint pain, a common side effect of aromatase inhibitors (AIs), a medication used to reduce hormones that might increase risk of recurrence and mortality following primary cancer treatment. We believe that reducing joint pain might help survivors take their medication longer and thus improve survival outcomes, compared to standard care.

Attend 4 in person visits, blood will be drawn at each visit.Complete physical function tests and surveys.Wear accelerometer for 7 days following each visit.Randomly selected participants will attend group exercise sessions twice a week for eight weeks via video call and record exercise activities between visits.

A PHASE III, RANDOMIZED, OPEN-LABEL, MULTICENTER STUDY EVALUATING THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF ADJUVANT GIREDESTRANT COMPARED WITH PHYSICIAN'S CHOICE OF ADJUVANT ENDOCRINE MONOTHERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH ESTROGEN RECEPTOR-POSITIVE, HER2-NEGATIVE EARLY BREAST CANCER (PSCI# 20-133) (GO42784)

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good or bad, of giredestrant versus an approved endocrine therapy (a treatment that blocks or removes hormones), on patients with breast cancer. In this study, subjects will get either giredestrant or a drug chosen specifically by the study doctor. Subjects can participate in this study based on breast cancer characteristics, current condition, and how well previous anti-cancer therapies were tolerated.

• You should not join another research study.• For women: If you can become pregnant, you must use a reliable non-hormonal birth control method during the study and for 9 days after your final dose of giredestrant or, if you are in the group receiving approved endocrine therapy prescribed by the study doctor, a period of time that your study doctor will discuss with you. This will be 21 days after if you are prescribed letrozole or anastrozole, 30 days after if you are prescribed exemestane, and 60 days after if you are prescribed tamoxifen. Talk with your study doctor about what birth control method may be best for you. Depending on the study treatment you receive, you might be restricted from donating eggs during this same period. Tell your study doctor right away if you get pregnant during this period. If you get pregnant, the study doctor will want to follow up with you on the outcome of the pregnancy and collect information on the baby.• For men: you must agree to take precautions as outlined below for each treatment arm:–If you are in the group receiving approved endocrine therapy prescribed by the study doctor, you study doctor will discuss with you what precautions you will need to take.–If you are in the group receiving giredestrant, and your partner is pregnant or able to become pregnant, you must use a condom during the study and for 9 days after your final dose of giredestrant. This will be 21 days after if you are prescribed letrozole or anastrozole, 30 days after if you are prescribed exemestane, and 90 days after if you are prescribed tamoxifen. You must not donate sperm during this same period. Tell your study doctor right away if your partner becomes pregnant during these periods. The study doctor or research staff will advise you of the possible risks to your unborn child and will make an effort to contact your partner to get her permission to collect information about the pregnancy and the baby. No matter what your partner decides, you can continue to take part in this study.• You should not use certain medications during this study. Your study doctor will talk to you about these medications.

20-099, EA1181 (CompassHER2-pCR): Preoperative THP and postoperative HP in patients who achieve a pathologic complete response

The purpose of this study is to test whether it is safe to eliminate additional chemotherapy after surgery in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer who have no remaining cancer at surgery, after receiving a single chemotherapy drug (for most patients, paclitaxel), with Herceptin (trastuzumab) and Perjeta (pertuzumab) for 12 weeks before surgery. The standard treatment for patients who have no remaining cancer at surgery is to receive additional chemotherapy after surgery. This study will test whether patients who receive no further chemotherapy after surgery have no higher chance of tumor recurrence than patients who have received additional chemotherapy after surgery.

Prospective Evaluation of Carvedilol in Prevention of Cardiac Toxicity in Patients with Metastatic HER-2+ Breast Cancer, Phase III (PSCI# 20-135) (S1501)

The purpose of this study is to test whether carvedilol can reduce the occurrence of heart problems during your cancer treatment. Carvedilol (Coreg®) is a medication that is FDA approved and used to treat congestive heart failure and high blood pressure and is not a new medication. It has been shown in small studies to protect the heart from side effects of chemotherapies such as doxorubicin (Adriamycin®) and trastuzumab (Herceptin®). The effects of carvedilol will be compared to the usual approach. Previously, people who were already taking a beta blocker, angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), or angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor were able to take part in the study. The study has reached the maximum number of people allowed who are already on those treatments now, so, you must not be taking these types of drugs in order to be part of the study. There will be about 817 people taking part in this study.

A Phase II Study of Ribociclib And Endocrine Treatment of Physician's Choice for Locoregional Recurrent, Resected Hormone Receptor Positive HER2 Negative Breast Cancer (RaPhLRR Study)

Participants in this study will receive a drug called ribociclib with the endocrine therapy of your physician’s choice. Ribociclib is taken as a pill. Endocrine therapy is taken as a pill or given as a shot. You will have tests, exams and procedures that are part of your regular care and for study purposes. Also, as part of routine care, you will be checked every 4 to 12 weeks to make sure your cancer hasn’t come back. You will receive ribociclib combined with endocrine therapy for up to 3 years. After that you will continue endocrine therapy alone for another 2 years (5 years total) as part of your regular care.

Participants will be required to: - receive ribociclib along with standard endocrine therapy drugs - have blood drawn - imaging scans (CT, PET-CT, bone scans, mammograms, MRI) - keep a medication diary - optional biopsy - ECG-a test that looks at the way your heart beats - ECHO-a test that looks at the way your heart pumps
