Filter by:Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness, of three hospitalized patient care strategies in relation to disease-related malnutrition (DRM) hospital admissions based on results such as length of stay of the index admission, and from admission until one year after admission, mortality rate, appearance of complications, changes in weight and nutritional state, changes in their health related quality of life and functional status, readmissions, use of health services resources (primary care, hospital and emergency consultations) and costs. Methodology: Intervention study involving three hospitals with three branches in which, after nutritional screening in all centers, the first branch / hospital includes a intervention strategy for nutritional improvement in patients who after screening are identified as having DRE or at risk of DRE, and follow-up of other patients; a second cohort / hospital will include similar patients in which if there is any nutritional intervention it will be carried out by demand of the medical staff in charge of the patient; and a third branch /hospital in which the usual practice of the center will be followed without any explicit intervention. Subjects of the study: At least 300 patients in each center admitted to the digestive services, due to digestive pathologies, and surgery services due to tumor and digestive system pathologies. In all patients, sociodemographic and clinical data will be collected and of the outcomes described above during admission and until the year of follow-up. Statistical analysis: through appropriate multiple regression models for each outcome variable and with adjustments through propensity scores to compare the three centers based on each outcome parameter. A cost-effectiveness analysis will be carried out through of the incremental cost for each year of quality-adjusted life (QALY) .
This is a cross-sectional study aimed at identifying factors which best predicts patients at high risk of colorectal cancer or colorectal adenomas and to develop a risk prediction model.
This voluntary study is part of a Post-Market-Surveillance plan to proactively collect clinical data for the use of Caiman 5 articulating Maryland in colorectal surgery under daily clinical routine.
This is a Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study whose principal objectives are to evaluate the efficacy and safety/tolerability of poziotinib in five cohorts of 30 previously-treated patients each.
This is a Phase II, non-randomized, open-label study to evaluate temozolomide in combination with olaparib in patients with MGMT promoter hypermethylated advanced colorectal cancer.
Background: Gastrointestinal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Researchers think an unmet need exists to understand and improve treatment options. They want to see if a combination of drugs can help people with metastatic colorectal cancer. Objective: To see if using a combination of Vascular Biogenics (VB)-111 and nivolumab is safe and will cause colorectal tumors to shrink. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver Design: Participants must consent to sample collection protocol 11C0112. Participants will be screened with: Blood tests Scans Tumor samples. If these are not available, participants will have a biopsy. Before they start treatment and with every treatment cycle, participants will have: Physical exams Blood tests Heart tests Before they start treatment and every 4 cycles, participants will have computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. For these, they will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. For the MRI, a soft padding or coil will be placed around their head. Participants will have biopsies before they start therapy. They will have them again after 2 6 weeks on study. On day 1 of 14-day cycles, participants will get one or both study drugs by vein. After they finish treatment, participants will have monthly visits for 3 months. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. If participants stop treatment for reasons other than their disease getting worse, they will have scans about every 8 weeks. This will continue until their disease gets worse. Participants will be contacted by phone or email every 6 months. This will continue for life. ...
The reason for this study is to see if the study drug LY3499446 is safe and effective in participants with solid tumors with KRAS G12C mutation.
This is a qualitative interview study that aims to understand treatment burden in individuals who have experienced prostate or colorectal cancer treatment within the past five years. We intend to use patient and caregiver experiences to co-design interventions to optimise cancer aftercare. Treatment burden is the workload of healthcare for patients and the consequences of this workload on patient function. Treatment burden has been associated with negative outcomes in stroke, heart failure, diabetes, and renal failure. Cancer is increasingly becoming a chronic condition, and involves a variety of self-management tasks for patients and their caregivers. In this study investigators will investigate treatment burden in people after prostate and colorectal cancer. Investigators will seek to understand patient and caregiver perceptions about cancer aftercare, and ways that services could be redesigned and improved to reduce treatment burden, and improve patient outcomes. We will undertake a qualitative interview study, recruiting patients from general practices and oncology outpatient clinics who have completed potentially curative treatment for prostate or colorectal cancer, or who are on active surveillance or hormonal therapies for localised or locally advanced prostate cancer. We will purposively sample, to ensure that participants with comorbidities, those from lower socioeconomic groups, and rural dwellers are adequately represented. We will conduct interviews according to a schedule, informed by conceptual models of burden of treatment, Schwarzer's Health Action Process Approach, and Normalisation Process Theory. Interviews will be filmed and/or audio-recorded and transcribed. Framework and thematic analysis will be used to analyse and synthesise the data. Participants will be given the chance to comment on outputs and findings (triangulation). Investigators plan to use the results of this study, and excerpts from video interviews during co-design events, and to create new interventions to optimise aftercare for patients with prostate and colorectal cancer.
Digestive cancers (liver, colonic, pancreatic) have a high incidence and high mortality, their population prevalence is also increasing. Given that the anesthesia techniques and the agents used act directly and indirectly on the immune system during the perioperative period, influencing both the treatment and the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer who undergo elective interventions, a series of perianesthetic interventions have been proposed in order to reduce morbidity-mortality perioperative.
To evaluate if the addition of liver transplantation primarily utilizing liver grafts from extended criteria donors not utilized for approved indications to conventional treatment of non-resectable/ non-abatable colorectal liver metastases (CLM) increases overall survival compared to best alternative care.
