The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of surgical stabilisation of rib fractures on clinical outcomes in patients that are not dependent on mechanical ventilation at the time of the treatment decision. To this end, data on all eligible patients will be extracted from the TraumaRegister® DGU. Baseline demographics will be analysed using descriptive statistics. Propensity matching will be conducted between the operative cohort (receiving SSRF by any technique) and the conservative cohort (not receiving SSRF). The effect of SSRF on the outcome variables will then be assessed using appropriate statistical tests.
Background: - One standard way of giving radiation is to combine external beam treatments with internal brachytherapy treatments, which involve short-range radiation therapy that gives a high dose of radiation directly to a cancer or to the area where cancer cells were removed. - Brachytherapy is done by placing hollow implant device(s) into the area to be treated and then moving a radiation source into each. The type of device depends on the type of cancer and the site to be treated. These devices can range from hollow applicators and needles to balloon-like equipment. Objectives: - To evaluate the quality of the brachytherapy procedure at the National Institutes of Health s Radiation Oncology Branch. Eligibility: - Patients with cancer who could potentially benefit from high-dose brachytherapy as part of their treatment. Design: - In conjunction with their existing treatment, patients will be treated with high-dose brachytherapy as determined appropriate for their particular type of cancer and cancer history. - Each treatment will take place in the Radiation Oncology Clinic. - If the patient does not have implant devices, the clinic staff will insert them and check their placement through a computed tomography (CT) scan. - The calculations to determine the appropriate brachytherapy dose will take a few hours; the brachytherapy treatment itself will take between 10 and 30 minutes. - The number of brachytherapy treatments will vary according to the individual needs and requirements of each type of cancer and each patient. - Patients will return to the Radiation Oncology Clinic for followup visits at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after the completion of radiation therapy. Followup evaluations will include a medical history and physical examination, assessment of any side effects of radiation therapy, and a repeat of any imaging (i.e., CT, MRI, X-ray) that was done at baseline to evaluate the tumor response.
This purpose of this study is to determine the highest tolerated dose of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) and also to determine the appropriate dose for intact pancreatic cancer.
The aim of this study is to assess whether increasing oral doses of Riociguat are safe and improve the well-being, symptoms and outcome in patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with left ventricular systolic dysfunction
This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and the best dose of cediranib maleate and olaparib and to see how well they work compared to olaparib alone in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, or triple-negative breast cancer that has returned after a period of improvement (recurrent). Cediranib maleate may help keep cancer cells from growing by affecting their blood supply. Olaparib may stop cancer cells from growing abnormally. The combination of cediranib maleate and olaparib may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer or recurrent triple-negative breast cancer.
This is a Phase III multi-center, randomized, two-arm parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of MBG453 or placebo added to azacitidine in adult subjects with intermediate, high or very high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) as per IPSS-R, or Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia-2 (CMML-2) who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) according to medical judgment by the investigator. The purpose of the current study is to assess clinical effects of MBG453 in combination with azacitidine in adult subjects with IPSS-R intermediate, high, very high risk MDS and CMML-2.
This pilot clinical trial studies the safety and immunogenicity of vaccine therapy in treating patients with stage IIIC-IV ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity cancer following surgery and chemotherapy. Vaccines made from a person's peptide treated white blood cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.
In France around 5,000 colostomies are performed after elective or emergency surgery. These colostomies could be associated with major outcomes including parastomal hernia (4 - 53%) of cases. To reduce the incidence of these outcomes, several methods have been proposed but the more pertinent consist in the use of a biological mesh during the stoma's conception. Nevertheless there is no data on the use of a biological mesh (StratticeTM) for the prevention of parastomal hernia.
No agent is known to have efficacy in patients with incurable HNSCC that progressed with prior platin, 5-FU, cetuximab and taxane. Herein lies the unmet need to be addressed by this trial. Based on the preclinical and clinical data presented, the investigators propose that mitomycin C will have anti-tumor activity in these patients.
This phase II trial studies how well elotuzumab works when given with lenalidomide as maintenance therapy after transplant in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who underwent transplant using their own stem cells (autologous transplant). Maintenance therapy is treatment that is given to help keep cancer from coming back after it has disappeared following the initial treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as elotuzumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Biological therapies, such as lenalidomide, may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Adding elotuzumab to standard maintenance therapy with lenalidomide may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma who have undergone transplant.
