Verein Zur Praevention Und Therapie Boesartiger Erkrankungen Austrian Breast And Colorectal Cancer Study Group

Breast cancer treatment in early-stage disease

The sponsor supports clinical research in early invasive triple-negative breast cancer with homologous recombination deficiency and in endocrine-responsive HER2-negative breast cancer, with a focus on pre-operative treatment strategies and surgical outcome assessment.

  • Triple-negative breast cancer
  • Homologous recombination deficiency
  • HER2-negative early breast cancer
  • Endocrine-responsive disease

Research activity in this area includes approaches aimed at improving response before surgery and refining treatment selection for biologically defined breast cancer subtypes.

Targeted therapy and DNA repair-directed oncology

Clinical research includes combinations involving olaparib and carboplatin in HRD-positive breast cancer, reflecting interest in therapies that exploit defects in DNA repair pathways.

  • Olaparib
  • Carboplatin
  • Homologous recombination deficiency
  • Neoadjuvant oncology

This work centers on biomarker-defined disease and treatment strategies linked to molecular vulnerability in breast tumors.

Cancer prevention in hereditary breast cancer

The sponsor funds prevention-focused research in women carrying a BRCA1 germline mutation, with attention to reducing the occurrence of invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ.

  • BRCA1 mutation
  • Breast cancer prevention
  • Hereditary cancer risk
  • Denosumab

Its prevention portfolio is directed toward women at elevated inherited risk of breast malignancy.

Endocrine therapy and cell-cycle inhibition

Another area of interest is combination treatment with elacestrant, ribociclib, and aromatase inhibitor-based therapy in hormone receptor–responsive early breast cancer, including use in pre-/perimenopausal women and men with GnRH agonist support where relevant.

  • Elacestrant
  • Ribociclib
  • Aromatase inhibitor therapy
  • Hormone receptor–responsive breast cancer

These studies address endocrine-sensitive disease biology and the integration of targeted agents in early breast cancer management.
