Filter by:Eligard is a 6-month depot injection formulation that combines the active ingredient leuprorelin acetate (LA) with a biodegradable polymer matrix (Atrigel® delivery system). The 6-month (45 mg) formulation was approved for the Russian market in 2009. It has been shown to reduce testosterone and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and to be well tolerated in several clinical trials. However, clinical trials are limited by strict patient inclusion and exclusion criteria. Therefore, the current non-interventional study aimed at investigating whether the efficacy and tolerability of the 6-month LA depot formulation could also be confirmed in a broad and heterogeneous patient population encountered in daily clinical practice in the Russian Federation. This study will evaluate total serum PSA and testosterone levels, Quality of Life (QoL) of patients, demographic patient data, diagnosis and diagnostic findings in patients. It will provide analysis in different subgroups of patients depending on previous hormonal treatment and anamnesis of disease.
Pulsed dye laser (PDL) treatments have been suggested to be a safe and effective therapeutic approach for treating basal cell carcinomas. Robust supporting evidence is, however, lacking due to inconsistent design of available studies. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the PDL's efficacy and safety in treating superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC) at low risk anatomical sites in an evidence based study setting.
This is a non-randomized, open-label phase II trial of 38 patients with recurrent or metastatic SCCHN. Patients must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1 with good organ function and will be treated with six weekly cycles of carboplatin, paclitaxel and cetuximab. Following assessment of response, the treating physician at their discretion may continue to treat with weekly cetuximab as maintenance until disease progression. The study is designed to evaluate whether this regimen improves median overall survival (OS) as compared to an historical control population treated with a platinum plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). There is currently no agreed upon first line therapy for recurrent or metastatic SCCHN; regimen options are highly toxic, inconvenient and resource intensive. Our study regimen has been used extensively for induction therapy and off-protocol in palliative care, but treatment outcomes have yet to be defined by a clinical trial.
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies whether acetylcysteine oral rinse will lessen saliva thickness and painful mouth sores in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy. Side effects from radiation therapy to the head and neck, such as thickened saliva and mouth sores, may interfere with activities of daily living such as eating and drinking, and may also cause treatment to be stopped or delayed. Acetylcysteine rinse may reduce saliva thickness and mouth sores, and improve quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy.
Despite neoadjuvant chemoradiation regimens esophageal cancer remains a disease with poor outcome. The clinical benefit of HER2 targeting with trastuzumab has been shown in the setting of advanced disease and disease and safety of combining trastuzumab with chemoradiation in the curative setting has been established. In breast cancer, the added value of pertuzumab to standard treatment with trastuzumab has been shown both in the neoadjuvant and the metastastic setting. Taken together, there is a sound rationale to explore the combination of radiotherapy plus chemotherapy with trastuzumab and pertuzumab in HER2+resectable esophageal cancer. However, since the number of HER2+ patients in this setting is limited, and no data are available on the safety of this combination prior to major surgery, we propose to first conduct a feasibility study with this treatment stratgy. When the results of this study show that this treatment strategy is feasible, we will subsequently design a prospective study with efficacy as primary endpoint.
This research is being done to study the molecular effects of topically applied itraconazole ointment on the growth of basal cell carcinomas.
This is a single center phase I trial designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the oral IDO inhibitor INCB024360 when administered as part of a larger regimen of intraperitoneal (IP) delivery of haploidentical donor NK cells and IL-2 after a non-myeloablative cyclophosphamide/fludarabine (Cy/Flu) preparative regimen for the treatment of recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer.
The purposes of this study are - to determine the prevalence, size and impact on quality of life of lymphedema of the lower extremities after primary radical surgery with hysterectomy +/- pelvic - and paraaortic lymphadenectomy in women with endometrial uterine carcinoma FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage 1 and 2 - to analyze risk factors for development of lymphedema in this specific group of patients. Our hypotheses are that women who have lymphadenectomy more often suffer from lymphedema, subjectively and objectively, and have an impaired quality of life. This is a Swedish multicenter study carried out in 17 departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology and in 3 departments of Oncology. All participants are treated according to the Swedish National Guidelines for Endometrial Cancer. 130 women with endometrial cancer who have a hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy (high-risk endometrial carcinomas) and 130 women with endometrial cancer who have a hysterectomy without lymphadenectomy (low-risk endometrial carcinomas) are prospectively enrolled in the study. The participants are examined preoperatively and on 3 occasions postoperatively, i.e. 4-6 weeks , 6 months and 12 months postoperatively. Determination of occurrence of lymphedema of the lower extremities are determined objectively by 1) a standardized clinical evaluation according to Bruna et al.[1] and 2) determining the leg volume according to the cone model by Sitzia [2] by systematically measuring of leg circumferences. In addition, occurrence of lymphedema is measured subjectively by the participants. On the same four occasions as the leg circumference measurements are conducted the patients complete two generic health related quality of life forms (the EuroQol EQ-5D and the Short-Form 36 SF-36) and the condition specific quality of life form for limb lymphedema (LYMQOL). Demographic and clinical data are systematically collected until one year postoperatively including occurrence of complications and given adjuvant oncological therapy such as chemo- and radiation therapy. On each occasion of clinical control a vaginal ultrasound examination is carried out in order to register pelvic and abdominal lymphocele formation or lymphatic fluid effusion intraabdominally.
This is a Phase 1b/2, multicenter, single arm trial to assess the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of MSC2156119J as monotherapy in subjects with MET+ advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with child Pugh Class A liver function who have failed sorafenib treatment.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of sorafenib for the treatment of Japanese patients with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) or locally advanced or metastatic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).
