Filter by:Clinical studies, with a distinct emphasis on medullary thyroid cancer, play a pivotal role in evaluating the safety and effectiveness of novel treatments for this condition. These trials serve as essential tools to determine whether new medications surpass conventional therapies, providing substantial evidence to endorse their broader adoption. The primary objective is to meticulously examine trial completion rates and voluntary withdrawals within this specific patient group. By actively participating in this observational study plays a critical role in pushing medical knowledge forward and advancing care for individuals suffering from the medullary thyroid cancer.
This research study is studying a positron emission tomography (PET) agent called 18F-fluciclovine to evaluate how well 18F-fluciclovine-PET scans determine the extent of advanced prostate cancer that either has low prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expression or has neuroendocrine features. The name of the study interventions are: - 18F-fluciclovine-PET/CT scan - Two research blood collections
This study is a prospective open-label, single-arm, single-center clinical study. Patients with neuroendocrine carcinoma who had not previously received standard therapy were enrolled in this study once they have signed the informed consent form (ICF) and been identified as eligible in screening. This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of surufatinib and serplulimab combined with standard chemotherapy (Platinum/Etoposide) in neuroendocrine carcinoma.
This is an open-label，single-arm, phase II exploratory study that evaluates the efficacy and safety of Camrelizumab combined with Chemotherapy （carboplatin or cisplatin + etoposide）and Apatinib as First Line treatment in Advanced or Metastatic Extrapulmonary Neuroendocrine Carcinomas（EP-NEC）
The primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from varying cancers and biopsy formats.
Using excess tumour samples that contain amyoid, from patients with Medullary Thyroid Cancer, we aim to determine the structures of ex vivo amyloid fibrils from human tumour tissue samples and compare them with that of existing stock of in vitro formed amyloid fibrils. This will permit the analysis of the effects of gene mutation and post-translational modification on the development of amyloid from a disease state. Amyloid is known to accumulate in the brain tissue of patients with neuro-degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and Dementia. Therefore solving the structure of amyloid fibrils may aid the development of future treatments for these conditions.
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) develops at the expense of calcitonin cells and is often characterized by lymph node metastases and sometimes visceral metastases. Improvement of preoperative diagnosis is of major importance in CMT because the quality of the initial surgery determines the prognosis. In recent years, 18F-fluorodihydroxyphenylalanine (18F-FDOPA) PET / CT was considered the most sensitive functional imaging tool in the evaluation of persistent CMT. To date, 18F-FDOPA PET at initial diagnosis has been reported in a few clinical cases. The main objective is to demonstrate that 18F-FDOPA PET provides additional information compared to conventional imaging on the initial diagnosis of CMT patients. The secondary objectives are to describe the nature of the information provided by PET / CT imaging, the main factors influencing tracer uptake and the positivity of PET / CT, and the impact of the examination on the care of the patient. This is a prospective, multicenter and open study. Patients with TCM who have serum calcitonin> 150 pg / ml at initial diagnosis and have performed baseline imaging examinations within the last 3 months will be included in the study . A PET at 18F-FDOPA will be performed according to a very powerful acquisition protocol. Image analysis will be performed blindly from the results of conventional imaging. All exams will be compared, in accordance with the gold standard. Therapeutic intentions will be collected before and after the PET imaging, as well as the actual management in place.
The primary endpoint is to compare the PFS (progress-free survival ) of etoposide plus carboplatin with paclitaxel combined with carboplatin as first-line treatment for advanced pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma.
This is phase II study on the efficacy of octreotide lar as maintenance treatment after first-line chemotherapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic gastro-entero-pancreatic or esophageal neuroendocrine carcinomas.
Neuroendocrine cancer is an unusual disease and often goes undetected by routine imaging. The 68Ga-DOTATATE PET Scan is a novel scanning method that may have improved sensitivity and resolution specifically for neuroendocrine tumors. Patients with neuroendocrine tumors will be imaged with this agent and it will be compared to conventional imaging methods to determine the safety and efficacy of this radiopharmaceutical.
