Filter by:Single-arm, open-label window-of-opportunity trial of neoadjuvant Abemaciclib in 20 patients, with tumor tissue obtained as standard of care at tumor resection (pre-Abemaciclib) and cystectomy (post-Abemaciclib)
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of DPX-Survivac and low dose cyclophosphamide with pembrolizumab in subjects with selected advanced and recurrent solid tumours.
The study was designed as a prospective, randomized double-blind placebo controlled trial. According to power analysis in regards of previous studies in the literature with diclofenac sodium, using a total of 144 patients are needed for Power: 80% and Efficacy: 0.05. diclofenac (20 mg) and placebo drugs to be used in the study will be numbered 1 and 2 individually. Patient randomization was performed using random.org in 144 patients. On the day of cystoscopy, the patient randomized according to inclusion criteria will be given a medication package corresponding to the number given in randomization. It will not be known by the staff and cystoscopy will be performed by the physician who does not know which package is an effective drug. Parameters: 1. Visual Pain Score during cystoscopy 2. Cystoscopy comfort - a questionnaire to be filled by the doctor 1. Excellent 2. Very good 3. Good 4. Bad 5. Too bad 3. Cystoscopy: Is it efficient? Not efficient? - Will be answered by the doctor. Post-Op: 1. 1st hour Visual Analog Pain Scale inquiry, dysuria, frequency 2. 24th Hour dysuria, Frequency, A total of 144 patients, we plan to arrive at the end of 1 month.
Many complications may occur after ileal conduit, with the incidence increasing with time after surgery. Nearly half of the complications are related to stoma and ureteroileal anastomosis. The investigators believe that the surgical technique is responsible for these complications, and therefore have devised a modified technique for creating the ileal conduit that should help prevent these complications after surgery. The investigators' retrospective study shows that modified surgical technique for ileal conduit urinary diversion appears to be effective for reducing early and late complications related to the stoma. Thus the investigators would like to perform a prospective multicenter randomized controlled clinical study to prove the investigators' results. The investigators plan to enroll 104 patients, and randomizedly divide the participants into two groups, with one group 52 patients undergoing conventional ileal conduit, another group 52 patients undergoing modified ileal conduit.
By doing this study the investigators hope to learn if educational videos focusing on nutrition for bladder cancer patients are a good and effective way to help people improve their nutrition and recovery after radical cystectomy (RC).
This is an open-label, randomized, multicentric study in patients with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer who had never received BCG for this disease. The objective is to evaluate the efficacy of atezolizumab as measured by recurrence-free survival.
In patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, the development and introduction to the clinical practice of an adequately accurate biomarker may allow to limit the indications for performing control cystoscopy. Thus, it will reduce the discomfort and stress of patients, the risk of complications of the invasive procedure and probably significantly reduce the costs incurred by healthcare systems. The aim of the present study is to determine the usefulness of the determination of MCM5 protein expression in the urine of patients with urinary bladder or upper urinary tract cancer.
A consecutive series of patients with High Risk Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer will be enrolled in several centres. The subjects will be assessed for eligibility at the screening visit (Visit 1) three weeks after Trans-Urethral Resection of the Bladder (TURB) and re-TURB prior to randomization and only subjects who fulfil the inclusion criteria will be included. Patients selected for the study, are centrally randomized (randomization is performed at the Sant'Andrea Hospital) to receive BCG induction treatment according to the standard protocol (an instillation once a week for six weeks) with Immucyst (81 mg Connaught strain BCG). Patients in group two received BCG treatment with the same protocol with a 40 mg mitomycin instillation the day before .
This research is designed to investigate the prognostic and predictive value of CD155 in muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Progastrin is a pro-hormone that, in physiological conditions, is maturated in gastrin in G cells of the stomach. The role of the gastrin is to stimulate the secretion of gastric acids during digestion. It is also important for the regulation of cell growth of the gastric mucosal. In a healthy person, progastrin is not detectable in the peripheral blood. However, progastrin is abnormally released in the blood of patients with different cancers (colorectal, gastric, ovarian, breast, cervix uterus, melanoma…) The gene GAST coding for progastrin is a direct target gene of the WNT/ß-catenin oncogenic pathway. The activation of this oncogenic pathway is an early event in cancer development. Chronic activation of the WNT/ß-catenin oncogenic pathway occurs in almost all human solid tumors and is a central mechanism in cancer biology that induces cellular proliferation, blocking of differentiation leading to primary tumor growth and metastasis formation. Progastrin measured in the peripheral blood of patients on treatments, could be a new powerful marker for diagnosis and prognosis at different stages.
