Filter by:This is a multicenter, open label, Phase 2 study, with 3 parallel cohorts. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of sotigalimab (APX005M) administered at 2 different schedules to adult participants with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Participants who have not received prior immunotherapy will be alternately assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts with different sotigalimab administration schedules as long as both are open for enrollment. Participants who have failed any number of prior lines of therapy will be assigned to a 3rd cohort of sotigalimab in combination with radiation therapy.
Sarcopenia is a condition of reduced skeletal muscle associated with aging. It leads to poor outcome and increased risk of postoperative complications. Achieving protein and energy requirements is crucial point in sarcopenia treatment. In preoperative patients, daily consumption of protein should be at least 1.2-2.0 g of protein/kg/day or 25-35 g of protein in a meal to provide muscular protein synthesis. The objective of this study is to show that preoperative enteral protein supplementation in elderly cancerous patients, who are diagnosed with sarcopenia, can decrease morbidity such as postoperative complications; mortality and improve postoperative clinical outcomes after elective surgery.
Endocrine therapy is the initial treatment for most hormone receptor positive (HR+), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative (HER2-) breast cancers. This study will evaluate the use of venetoclax in combination with capecitabine in adult participants with HR+, HER2-, metastatic breast cancer (MBC) who had disease progression following treatment that included a cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor. Venetoclax is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of breast cancer. This study is open-label meaning both the participants and study doctors will know what treatment is being given. The study includes two phases: dose escalation and dose expansion. In dose escalation, participants will receive various doses of venetoclax in combination with capecitabine. In dose expansion, participants will receive the recommended dose of venetoclax determined during dose escalation in combination with capecitabine. Adult participants with locally advanced or MBC that is not amenable to curative therapy will be enrolled. Around 42 participants will be enrolled at approximately 20 sites worldwide. Venetoclax and capecitabine will be administered on a 21-day cycle. During dose escalation, participants will take various doses of venetoclax as a tablet by mouth once a day and capecitabine as a tablet by mouth twice per day on days 1 - 14 of each cycle for approximately 30 weeks. During dose expansion, participants will take venetoclax at the dose identified during dose escalation as a tablet by mouth once a day and capecitabine as a tablet by mouth twice per day on days 1 - 14 of each cycle for approximately 30 weeks. There may be a higher burden for participants in this trial compared to standard of care. Participants will attend weekly visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and evaluating for side effects.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is a solid tumor, a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the lung. It is the most common form of lung cancer, accounting for around 85% of lung cancers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy (how well the study drug works against the disease) of venetoclax in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with NSCLC. Venetoclax is a drug that kills cancer cells by blocking a protein (part of a cell) that allows cancer cells to stay alive. Pembrolizumab is approved drug for the treatment of NSCLC. It works with your immune system to help fight certain cancers. The study is split into two portions - dose escalation and randomization. Participants are assigned one of the three treatment groups to receive pembrolizumab alone or in combination with venetoclax. Each group receives a different treatment. Participants who are at least 18 years of age with a diagnosis of NSCLC will be enrolled. Around 100 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 44 sites across United States. Participants will receive intravenous (IV) infusion of pembrolizumab alone or in combination with oral venetoclax tablets. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. This study focuses on two types of cancers: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). AML (blood cancer) is cancer of the white blood cells (WBC). NSCLC (solid tumor) is a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the lung. The purpose of this study is to determine recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and to see if the study drug is safe and able to treat patients who have AML and NSCLC. ABBV-184 is an investigational drug being developed for treatment of cancer. The study has two arms and two phases: AML arm and NSCLC arm; dose escalation and dose expansion phase. Adult participants with diagnosis of AML or NSCLC will be enrolled. In dose escalation phase, around 36 participants will be enrolled in each arm. In dose expansion phase, around 20 participants will be enrolled in each arm. The study will be conducted in approximately 50 sites across 10 countries. Participants will receive weight based intravenous (IV) infusion of ABBV-184 once a week. At the beginning of the study, visits will occur daily during hospitalization followed by less frequently over time. There will be a higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects, and questionnaires.
Gastrostomy is an intra-gastric nutritional enteral device that could be put in place by percutaneous technique under radiological guidance: allowing local anesthesia. However, there is no clear recommendation about local analgesia during this exam. Operator can chose Lidocaine with a short period of action, or Ropivacaine with a longer period of action. The association of these two drugs could enhance the analgesia post procedure. The main objective of this study is to decrease maximal pain felt during a twenty four hour stay, after a gastrostomy under percutaneous technique with radiological guidance.
The objective of the current project is to pilot the evaluation of the health and economic benefits of having online access to health information in the context of providing telemedicine support for oncology patients receiving outpatient systemic therapy in Ontario. This pilot study will determine the feasibility of conducting a full-scale randomized controlled trial that could definitively determine whether the addition of access to patients' health information in the after-hours telemedicine program reduces emergency department use, affect patients' experience of care, or improve patient-reported health. The study will be conducted at, and with patients from, the Stronach Regional Cancer Centre (SRCC) at Southlake. Eligible patients will be adults (at least 18 years of age) with a confirmed cancer diagnosis, and initiating or continuing treatment with systemic therapy at the SRCC. Prospective patients will be randomized across two arms. Recruitment will take place during a 6.5-month recruitment period and followed up for a period of 3 months.
This research study is assessing the effect of an exercise program on cancer survivors. The exercise program is Haymakers for Hope 16-week exercise program
This pilot study will include up to 25 patients with cancer experiencing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Patients enrolled in the study will participate in a 10-week QiGong for Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy program. Patients will be evaluated before and after their program participation. Within 2 weeks before the program start date, patients will be administered an objective neuropathy assessment by a physician or nurse, and will complete questionnaires assessing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, perceived cognitive functioning, quality of life, and cancer-related symptoms. Patients will repeat these assessments at the end of the last QiGong class and will be asked to provide feedback on the QiGong program as a whole. Self-report questionnaires will also be repeated one week after the last class. Total duration of subject participation will be 11-13 weeks. Total duration of the study is expected to be approximately 9 months.
This first-in-human study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of ABBV-467 in adult participants with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM).
