Filter by:Non-medullary thyroid carcinoma has a good prognosis in most patients. However, a small subset of patients nevertheless develop metastatic or locally advanced and unresectable disease which in some cases also becomes radioiodine refractory. In these patients treatment options are very limited. Earlier cell line and animal studies have shown that digoxin can reinduce radioiodine uptake in non-medullary thyroid cancer. This study serves as a proof of principle study to assess the possibility of digoxin to reinduce radioiodine uptake in adult humans with metastatic or locally advanced non-medullary radioiodine refractory thyroid carcinoma.
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignancy in the liver. Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a significant risk factor and may be associated with inferior outcome. According to the Danish national guidelines, ablation should be offered patients with early HCC (tumor < 3 cm) in a cirrhotic liver, who are not transplant candidates. However, the effect of size of the HCC tumor and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) as etiology are insufficiently investigated. Purposes 1. Investigate association between HCC tumor size and survival and recurrence after ablation. 2. Investigate survival and recurrence after ablation in patients with HCV-related HCC compared with HCC due to other etiologies. Methods This study is based on data from the Danish Liver and Bile Duct Cancer Database (DLGCD) and the Danish Database for Hepatitis B and C (DANHEP) and the laboratory database (DANVIR), which collectively include information on patient characteristics, tumor characteristic, laboratory results, and information regarding ablation, HCV status, and antiviral treatment, respectively. Perspectives Ablation has been widely used for decades, but studies investigating the effect of ablation for HCC in patients with HCV and size of HCC are lacking. This study will contribute considerably to the level of evidence and may impact both Danish and international guidelines for HCC treatment.
This is a phase 2, single-arm trial designed to assess the clinical benefit of treatment with nivolumab administered in patients with untreated, borderline resectable HCC.
The treatment guideline for locally advanced resectable oral squamous cell carcinoma (LAROSCC) is surgery + postoperative radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy. Though the treatment is intensive with serious harm to quality of life, the survival of patients is poor. Neoadjuvant therapy has been evaluated in a number of clinical trials for LAROSCC, but failed to directly improve the overall survival. On the other hand, de-escalation of treatment followed by neoadjuvant is also been explored with some promising results. This study is to retrospectively include patients with LAROSCC who received neoadjuvant therapy and surgery. Survival between patients in two cohorts (cohort 1: received postoperative radiotherapy, cohort 2: received no postoperative radiotherapy) are to be compared.
Cabozantinib is an orally bioavailable tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) approved in patients with aRCC previously treated with a Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)-targeted therapy. Cabozantinib has been increasingly used in routine care in second line and more in advanced or metastatic RCC in France. Cabozantinib effectiveness and safety notably in a real-word setting are now well known, but too many questions that arise during the routine care of patients with aRCC remain unanswered by the current literature. Obtaining data on cabozantinib effectiveness and treatment pattern in those participants subpopulations will allow physicians to improve patients care. The aims of this study are to describe the effectiveness - in terms of Duration of Treatment (DOT), Best Overall Response (BOR) and Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - and the safety of second line cabozantinib a real-life setting in France and to address the unanswered questions that arise during the routine care of patients with aRCC treated with cabozantinib in order to improve the care of these participants.
PSMA is highly expressed on the cell surface of the microvasculature of several solid tumors, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). This makes it a potentially imaging target for the detection of ccRCC. This pilot study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of 68Ga-P16-093, a novel radiopharmaceutical targeting PSMA, which was compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT in the same group of ccRCC patients.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the current treatment patterns, safety, and effects of the study medicine (Avelumab) for the treatment of urothelial carcinoma. This study is seeking Japanese participants who: - have urothelial cancer that has spread - are treated with Avelumab for maintenance We will study the experiences of people receiving avelumab. This helps us learn the current treatment patterns, safety, and effects of avelumab. Participants will take part in this study up to 10 months. During this time, they will have no study visits.
This Phase I clinical trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 4 mg doses of ITI-3000 in participants with polyomavirus-positive Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).
Based on the follow-up data of patients who underwent hepatectomy for HBV-related HCC at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. patients who met the enrollment criteria were screened for tumor recurrence and survival for statistical analysis to understand the prognosis of patients and analyze the risk factors affecting their prognosis.
An observational chart review study to describe the real-world outcomes and use of avelumab in combination with axitinib for treatment of patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma in the United Kingdom.
