Filter by:Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) has been implicated in the progression of most solid tumours and expression has been demonstrated in clinical samples from a variety of solid cancers. High expression is often associated with high grade or metastatic disease and poor prognosis. CA IX is not expressed in normal tissue, potentially providing a cancer-associated target that would not likely result in significant interruption of normal biologic function in organs not affected by cancer. A humanized monoclonal antibody CA9hu-1 has shown robust activity in a variety of tumour models including models of ovarian, prostate, breast, pancreatic, colon and lung where tumour growth and metastasis are inhibited when CA9hu-1 is used as a monotherapy. Enhancement of chemotherapy has also been demonstrated in several models in combination with CA9hu-1. CA IX is also expressed by tumour-associated cells (angiogenic endothelium, tumour-associated macrophages), which also drive cancer progression. Thus, targeting CA IX with CA9hu-1 in cancer patients is expected to affect multiple pathways and multiple tumour compartments that are important to tumour progression. Taken together, there is strong rationale for developing hu-CA91 for the treatment of advanced cancer. The present study was designed to establish safety and toxicity profile and maximum tolerated dose of CA9hu-1, evaluate pharmacokinetics, investigate the presence of anti-drug antibody, to document anti-tumour activity at a clinically relevant dose, and to document the use of [18F]FLT-PET as a biomarker for detection of early tumour response at a clinically relevant dose.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a highly heterogenous disease. It the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world and the second cause of death among cancer cases mortality. Its incidence is rising all over the world, especially in developing countries . In Egypt it is coming the seventh cancer in incidence according to World Health Organization (WHO, 2020). Although there is much improvement in the diagnosis and treatment, but CRC is still constituting a big impact on human life and health, so researchers are trying to find out new therapeutic targets . Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is an inhibitory receptor which is expressed on the surface of T lymphocytes during activation. Its role is to control T cell effector activity for various cellular responses as infections, autoimmune reactions, and cancer . Cancer cells develop PD-ligand1 (PD-L1) expression which is a transmembrane molecule belonging to B7 family. Its action is through PD-1/PD-L1 reaction, and causing invasion and metastasis of cancer cells by protecting it from immunosurveillance by inhibiting T cell effector function, leading to carcinogenesis and development of many cancers including colorectal cancer.
Single centre prospective evaluation of 68Gallium(Ga68)-FAPI-46 PET/MRI in patients diagnosed with Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). 68Gallium-FAPI-46 PET/MRI and standard contrasted multiphasic MRI imaging will be acquired in patients with radiological or histological diagnosis of HCC. The PET scan results will be compared to standard imaging to evaluate its role in lesion detection, characterisation and staging in patients with HCC.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the recommendations of the artificial intelligence clinical decision support system 'ADBoard', with the recommendations of physicians by tumor conferences in patients with hepatobiliary tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can ADBoard achieve a high level of similar recommendations as physicians' tumor conferences? Can ADBoard consider a more complete set of patient-related data than in physicians' tumor conferences? Can ADBoard reduce the time between the first time the patient is discussed at the tumor conference and the start of the recommended treatment plan? Participants will have their hepatobiliary tumor treatments determined by either tumor conference with ADBoard, or tumor conference without ADBoard.
This clinical trial tests how well phytocannabinoids (cannabidiol [CBD] and tetrahydrocannbinol [THC]) work in reducing chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in breast and colon cancer survivors. Neuropathy is the most common neurological symptom reported by cancer patients due to treatment. A variety of pharmacologic treatments have been evaluated to alleviate CIPN symptoms; however, no definitive treatment has been found to successfully treat all the symptoms of CIPN. Therefore, investigators continue to seek other possible treatment options including cannabis. Phytocannabinoids may be a particularly useful intervention for cancer patients given the limited effective treatments for CIPN. In addition, cannabis-based medicines have become tremendously popular as both cancer patients and clinicians are seeking therapies with fewer potential risks of dependency and other side effects. This trial is being done to provide cancer patients and clinicians with reliable information to help guide their use of phytocannabinoids to manage the tremendous distress and pain experienced by many cancer patients, which impacts their long-term quality of life.
This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of a combination therapy (niraparib and selenium) in treating patients with BRCA negative ovarian cancer that has come back (recurrent) and does not respond to platinum based therapy (platinum resistant). Selenium is a form of the trace element with potential antineoplastic activity which may help block the formation of growths that may become cancer. Niraparib is in a class of medications called poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors. It works by killing cancer cells and helps maintain the response of certain types of ovarian, fallopian tube and peritoneal cancers. Giving selenium and niraparib may kill more cells in patients with ovarian cancer.
To review safety and efficacy of TTI-101 plus Pembrolizumab in patients the Recurrent and Metastatic head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
The goal of this observational study is to test the clinical efficacy of "GNB4 and Riplet gene methylation combined detection kit (fluorescence PCR method)"in hepatocellular carcinoma auxiliary diagnosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How consistent are the test results of the kit with the clinical reference diagnostic criteria? 2. Sanger sequencing can visually show whether each sample contains methylation sites, so in this clinical trial, the kit results were compared with Sanger sequencing results to analyze the reagent's accuracy in detecting GNB4 and Riplet gene methylation. Each participant is required to provide no less than 10 ml of blood to complete the kit test.
TRIPLET HCC is a phase II-III trial that assess the effectivness of addition of ipilimumab to the combination atezolizumab-bevacizumab, on global survival and response to the treatment, for patients with advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. The theoretical duration of the study is 5 years. In the scope of this study, each patient will have 2 years of treatment and 2 years of follow-up from their enrollment date.
This is a prospective, multi-center, controlled study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and the impact on the quality of life of Huaier Granules combined with targeted drugs and anti-PD-(L)1 antibody compared with targeted drugs combined with anti-PD-(L)1 antibody in first line treatment of unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.
