Filter by:In this study, patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma whose peritoneal metastasis and peritoneal nodule pathologically confirmed metastasis and/or exfoliative cytology were confirmed as the clinical stage of peritoneal metastasis, who had not received treatment before, were invited to participate in the study.To evaluate the surgical conversion rate and tumor regression grade (TRG grade) of patients with stage gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis using docetaxel, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil (FLOT regimen) combined with teriprizumab (PD-1).
Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) occurs in conjunction with the use of anticancer medication such as vinca alkaloids (including vincristine), taxanes (including paclitaxel), and platinum preparations (including cisplatin and oxaliplatin)
This is a multicenter, randomized controlled, prospective clinical trial. The objective is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab maintenance therapy in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
The purpose of this study is the development of a physiologic endpoint using a novel technology that would provide an objective, easy to use and more sensitive assessment of VIPN in children and adolescents. The ability to more easily detect and monitor VIPN, even before it is clinically evident, would facilitate optimizing the dosing of vincristine for maximal disease response while minimizing the risk of lifelong functional deficits affecting quality of life. This approach would also enable the development of specific therapies to minimize or eliminate the occurrence of VIPN in children and adolescents. This is a single site study that aims to develop a novel device to evaluate and characterize vincristine-induced neuropathic pain. The investigators will enroll patients with ALL following the Delayed Intensification (DI) phase of treatment. At each study visit, the investigators will evaluate the nPRD as well as the TNS-PV. The nPRD will inform the neuropathy index which will be used to compare to the TNS-PV. We anticipate a correlation between the two.
Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting are common adverse events related to oncologic treatments. It can have deleterious effect on patients' quality of life and could lead to dose reductions and/or discontinuation of treatment. This study aims to quantify the prevalence of nausea and vomiting induced by highly emetogenic chemotherapy in patients who had adequate antiemetic prophylaxis, also to describe the epidemiologic profile and identify predisposing factors.
Chemotherapy cause many adverse events including induction of peripheral neuropathy. Metformin, the AMPK activator, was found to have protective effect against chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy in mouse model and in clinical trials as well. There are different hypothesized mechanisms through which metformin does the protective effect. Such as enhancing mitochondrial activity, reduction of ROS and nitric oxide and activation of AMPK.
This is a prospective randomized trial designed to investigate a new care model for patients who suffer from nerve damage from chemotherapy called chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). All participants in the study will report their CIPN symptoms daily using a website, app or phone for 12 weeks. In one group the data will be collected and participants will be encouraged to reach out to their treating doctors for uncontrolled symptoms. These participants' doctors can prescribe any treatment they feel is appropriate. In the second group, if the symptoms meet the criteria for eligibility they will receive a phone call from a nurse practitioner either the same day or next day, depending on the time symptoms were logged. That nurse practitioner will determine the correct CIPN treatment using an algorithm and prescribe it. The study will track the severity of symptoms over time as well as looking at the impact on treatments for CIPN (medications and referrals).
Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) is a common adverse effect that becomes worse as the drug dose accumulation impacts cancer patients' daily activities and quality of life.The result of this study will determine the immediate effects of the 8-week auricular acupuncture intervention on alleviating the participants' OIPN symptoms and enhancing their quality of life. This study will continue to evaluate the carry-over effects of auricular acupuncture after the chemotherapy course ends.
The purpose of this study is to assess the neurological efficacy of acupuncture in patients with cancer who experienced peripheral neuropathy, which is induced by chemotherapy.
This is a double blinded two-arm randomized case-only interventional trial. A total of 60 patients who are to receive Paclitaxel to be included and allocated in two groups. The protocol is to be reviewed by the Research Ethics Committee of Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. All procedure will be done in Kasr El-Einy Center of Radiation Oncology and Nuclear Medicine. The first arm (Venlafaxine group) will receive Venlafaxine extended release (37.5 mg) tablets (Zimmerman et al., 2016). The second arm (Memantine group) will receive memantine 10 mg once daily (Morel et al., 2016)
