Brazilian researchers are seeking resources for a study that is close to confirming the best preoperative treatment sequence for breast cancer, benefiting women around the world.

The Cura Project Institute launched the crowdfunding campaign “Together we can be stronger than Cancer” that seeks to raise funds to fund one year of data processing for the Neosamba study, a 100% Brazilian study, which studies a new treatment sequence for HER2-negative breast cancer, with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (before breast surgery) and will include the treatment of almost 500 women over three years.

The Neosamba survey is moving towards phase 3, when the number of people investigated for a longer period of time is expanded. However, resources are lacking to begin this process, which Dr. José Bines, oncologist and principal investigator of the study, defines as a “confirmatory scientific study”.

“This is a 100% Brazilian survey and 100% conducted in reference institutions that serve SUS patients. There is no relationship with the pharmaceutical industry. All stages of designing and conducting the study are carried out by the researchers themselves, and now with the Cura Project Institute, which has helped us to raise funds for the completion of phase III”, explains Dr. José Bines.

With the proof of the results in phase 3, in addition to the expansion of access to new therapies, an improvement in the quality of life and the increase in the chance of a cure for patients, an extraordinary benefit will be their immediate application, since the medications are now available in the Brazilian public network, without any additional cost increase.

The Neosamba Phase 3 crowdfunding campaign is an initiative of the Cura Project Institute, in partnership with LACOG (Latin American Cooperative Oncology Group), GBECAM (Brazilian Breast Cancer Studies Group). Actress Patrícia Pillar joined the team as an ambassador for the campaign, acting on a voluntary basis as spokesperson for the cause in the promotional materials. Oncology and mastology doctors are also participating as godmothers and godparents in the campaign.
