Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if heart function remains normal after stopping heart failure medication in patients who have received chemotherapy.
This research is aimed at finding out what may influence the decision of patients to participate in trials involving imaging so that the investigators may improve our future studies so they are more patient focused and acceptable in regards to scan schedules.
In a perspective of improvement of the global care of the patients, investigators wish to estimate, within the oncology department of Paris Saint Joseph Hospital, the impact of a clear, written and oral information, on the sexual satisfaction of the couples during treatments. Further to this study, the project will be to train and to sensitize the medical staff, or still to develop new activities to meet the needs better of patients and of partners.
Obesity is a risk factor for several common cancers, including those of the breast, colon, liver, and pancreas. Proposed molecular links between obesity and these types of cancer include systemic inflammation, hyperinsulinemia, and changes in the serum concentrations of sex steroid hormones and adipokines. All of these are strongly linked to low-grade chronic inflammatory processes in expanded adipose tissue. The objective of this proposal is to test the hypothesis that adipose tissue inflammation can be reduced by the foods we eat.
This Phase I, open-label, randomized, 3-period crossover study was designed to determine the relative bioavailability of ipatasertib administered as capsule and tablet formulations to healthy volunteers. In addition, the influence of food on ipatasertib exposure will also be determined. Participants will be randomized to one of six treatment sequences to receive three treatments of a single oral administration of ipatasertib in, 1) tablet formulation in the fasted state, 2) capsule formulation in the fasted state or 3) tablet formulation in the fed state. Pharmacokinetics will be assessed, and standard physical and clinical evaluations will be performed throughout the study. Time on study is expected to be 3 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about personalized cancer therapy including response to treatment and side effects. Information from the patient's medical record regarding the tests and treatments they have received, or will receive, for their cancer will be collected. Genomic testing on tissue from the primary tumor or metastases will be used to match therapy recommendations. Patients in which there is no appropriate matched therapy will receive systemic chemotherapy according to their treating physician's discretion. This information will be used to describe whether or not patients respond better when their physicians choose to treat them according to the genetic makeup of their tumor.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a nutritional strategy is effective in critically ill patients with cancer diagnosed with refeeding syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of MK-0457(VX-680), an Aurora kinase inhibitor, in participants with advanced solid tumors. Bioavailability of the oral formulation will also be assessed. The primary study hypothesis is that administration of MK-0457 is sufficiently safe and tolerated to permit further study.
The purpose of this study is to compare the anti-emetic effect of ramosetron plus aprepitant and dexamethasone with palonosetron plus aprepitant and dexamethasone in patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy.
Acute kidney injury frequently affects cancer patients. The main cause of acute kidney injury is ischemic damage caused by transient decrease in renal blood flow, followed by blood flow restoration and accompanying reperfusion injury (ischemia-reperfusion injury. Several studies, mainly in animal models have tried to establish spironolactone role on kidney injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury. It has been demonstrated in renal transplant recipients that the administration of spironolactone can prevent oxidative stress and is safe. The group of cancer patients with states capable of producing tissue hypoperfusion (hypovolemic shock, heart failure, major surgery, use of anesthetics) are at increased risk of developing acute renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. The investigators hypothesis is that spironolactone may be useful in preventing acute renal injury when administered during the first six hour of renal ischemia-reperfusion insult. The purpose of this study is to determine the utility of spironolactone administered after an ischemic renal insult (major surgery) to prevent acute kidney injury in critically cancer patients. Investigators propose a pilot study, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial, approved by the local ethical committee, to compare the efficacy of spironolactone to prevent acute kidney injury in patients after major surgery. Investigators will include 12 patients in spironolactone group (25mg daily for three days) and 12 patients in placebo group.
