Filter by:This is a randomized, prospective, open label, multicenter study to assess the safety and utility of PINPOINT® Near Infrared Fluorescence Imaging (PINPOINT) in identification of lymph nodes (LN) in patients with uterine and cervical malignancies who are undergoing LN mapping.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness and toxicity of the combination of infusional cisplatin and 24-hour infusion of high-dose fluorouracil plus leucovorin (P-HDFL) repeatedly every 21 days for the treatment of stage IVB, recurrent or metastatic carcinoma of cervix. Methods: The medical records of all patients with stage IVB, recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who were treated with P-HDFL regimen between January 2005 and December 2009 at National Taiwan University Hospital were reviewed. Expected results: Investigators will identify the effectiveness and toxicity of the combination of infusional cisplatin and 24-hour infusion of high-dose fluorouracil plus leucovorin (P-HDFL) repeatedly every 21days for the treatment of stage IVB, recurrent or metastatic carcinoma of cervix.
The study will test the significance of community health worker (CHW) participation by comparing self-sampling provided by a community health worker and self-sampling provided by mail. The study will enroll 700 participants in communities that lack access to medical care in South Florida.
This is an open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of INO-3112 DNA vaccines delivered by electroporation (EP) to female participants with HPV-16 and/or 18-positive cervical carcinoma.
The goal of this research study is to compare a program called Motivation And Problem-Solving (MAPS) to the standard treatment to help participants with a history of cervical cancer or high-grade cervical dysplasia quit smoking.
The investigators propose to test a community-developed and targeted intervention that employs community health workers (CHWs) as aides to newly Medicaid-insured women. These women face the challenges of engaging with their healthcare and health and of making highly personal and socioculturally embedded decisions about reproductive health-related preventive services (e.g., contraception, STI and cancer screening).
Background: The National Cancer Institute (NCI) Surgery Branch has developed an experimental therapy for treating patients with cancer that involves taking white blood cells from the patient, growing them in the laboratory in large numbers, genetically modifying these specific cells with a type of virus (retrovirus) to attack only the tumor cells, and then giving the cells back to the patient. This type of therapy is called gene transfer. In this protocol, we are modifying the patients white blood cells with a retrovirus that has the gene for anti-MAGE-A3 incorporated in the retrovirus. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine a safe number of these cells to infuse and to see if these particular tumor-fighting cells (anti-MAGE A3 cells) cause tumors to shrink and to be certain the treatment is safe Eligibility: - Adults age 18-66 with cancer expressing the MAGE-A3 molecule. Design: - Work up stage: Patients will be seen as an outpatient at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical Center and undergo a history and physical examination, scans, x-rays, lab tests, and other tests as needed - Leukapheresis: If the patients meet all of the requirements for the study they will undergo leukapheresis to obtain white blood cells to make the anti MAGE-A3 cells. {Leukapheresis is a common procedure, which removes only the white blood cells from the patient.} - Treatment: Once their cells have grown, the patients will be admitted to the hospital for the conditioning chemotherapy, the anti MAGE-A3 cells and aldesleukin. They will stay in the hospital for about 4 weeks for the treatment. Follow up: Patients will return to the clinic for a physical exam, review of side effects, lab tests, and scans about every 1-3 months for the first year, and then every 6 months to 1 year as long as their tumors are shrinking. Follow up visits take up to 2 days.
This pilot clinical trial studies the feasibility of a telephone-based educational intervention in improving communication between patients with stage 0-III cancer and their children. An educational program delivered by telephone may help parents talk with their school-age child about their cancer.
The purpose of this study is to learn if a cervical health literacy program is a practical and helpful way of improving women's cervical health knowledge and improving cancer screening behaviors, and ultimately preventing cervical cancer.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability and the HPV-specific immune responses of different doses of ISA101 vaccine with or without pegylated IFNα as combination therapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel. To qualitatively assess the safety profile and the HPV-specific immune responses of ISA101b vaccine compared to ISA101 at the same dose levels. To assess the safety and the HPV-specific immune responses of ISA101b vaccine with carboplatin, paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab.
