Filter by:This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, open-label dose-escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and assess the DLT of JAB-3312. It is anticipated that approximately 24 subjects will be enrolled in the dose-escalation phase of the study. JAB-3312 will be administered orally once daily (QD) in 21-day treatment cycles.
This study will report the incidence of atrial fibrillation after elective colorectal cancer resection in the over 65 age group. This will be used to validate a risk model for the development of post-operative atrial fibrillation. Eligible patients will undergo electrocardiogram based screening for atrial fibrillation, as well as brain natriuretic peptide tests prior to surgery. They will undergo 24 hour holter monitor prior to surgery, and at 30 and 90 days following surgery. The primary outcome will be occurrence of atrial fibrillation within 90 days of surgery. Secondary outcomes include quality of life change, use of hospital services for atrial fibrillation, and complications of atrial fibrillation. This will be used to validate the pre-existing model for prediction of atrial fibrillation.
Obesity could increase the risk of many chronic diseases, including hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, high lipid level, diabetes, stroke, endometrial cancer and certain types of cancer which could benefit by secondary prevention through screening programs. The World Cancer Research Fund of the American Institute for Cancer Research has reviewed all the studies about the link between obesity and cancer. Studies shown that obesity is an independent risk factor for colorectal, breast and prostate cancer. These three cancers (will be named as "obesity-related cancers" thereafter) demonstrate a rapidly increasing trend of incidence in Asia in the past decade. Among Chinese adults of Hong Kong in 2014, 39% were overweight or obese (compared with 20.9% reported in European adults in the same year) and up to 69.7% reported that they did not perform any measures to achieve optimal weight control. Men (49.6%) had a higher proportion of overweight or obesity than females (29.5%). Adults who are aged 45-54 had the highest rate (50.5%) of overweight or obesity than other age groups. In addition, there were 62.5% whose physical activity level did not meet the recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO). Only 18.7% consumed at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day; yet about 30% were alcoholic drinkers; and more than 10% were daily or occasional smoker. These figures imply that the incidence of obesity and obesity-related cancers will further escalate - and urgent actions at the community level are needed to combat the rising incidence and mortality of these conditions. According to Hong Kong Cancer Registry, the discrepancy between the number of new cases (incidence) and number of deaths (mortality) is much higher for colorectal, breast and prostate cancer as compared to other cancers. It is well recognized that screening could effectively reduce mortality for these three obesity-related cancers when they are detected at an earlier stage. The concept of a one-stop approach to screen for multiple cancers was found to be feasible, with an ability to detect a wide range of neoplastic lesions at an early stage. In the recent decade, there are also emerging centres that have been established as multi-cancer screening clinics worldwide. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of studies that have highlighted the outcomes of these multi-cancer screening programs.
This is an open, prospective, single-arm, multi-cohort clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of high-dose vitamin C combined with metformin in the treatment of malignant tumors.
This study is to collect and validate regulatory-grade real-world data (RWD) in oncology using the novel, Master Observational Trial construct. This data can be then used in real-world evidence (RWE) generation. It will also create reusable infrastructure to allow creation or affiliation with many additional RWD/RWE efforts both prospective and retrospective in nature.
Part 1: This clinical study will first test the safety and initial effect on the tumour of PS101-mediated ACT when given in combination with standard of care chemotherapy in patients with liver metastases (initially those with any solid tumors and then further in patients just with colorectal cancer [CRC]) in order to identify the recommended dose and schedule of PS101-mediated ACT that can be taken forward for further testing. Part 2: Based on the Part 1 results, another part in patients with liver metastases from CRC and pancreatic cancer (if indicated) may take place following a substantial protocol amendment. This record will focus on Part 1 of the study only and will be updated if Part 2 occurs.
Colorectal cancer is among the most common types of cancer worldwide. Population-based screening programs for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer have been introduced as part of cancer control in many high-income countries. Population-based cancer screening programs do not exist in most low- and middle-income countries. There are some studies that report the awareness of colorectal cancer in Turkey.
Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) is the current standard for effective endoscopic resection of such colon adenomas. If resection is possible in one piece (so-called "en bloc" resection) then recurrence rates are low. However, most non-pedunculated polyps >2 cm are removed in pieces ("piece-meal" resection) which leads to disease recurrence rates between 12-30%. In the March 2019 issue of Gastroenterology Bourke et al. presented that post-EMR ablation of the resection margins using soft coagulation with the tip of a resection snare reduces adenoma recurrence to 5% compared to 21% recurrence found in the control group. Hybrid Argon Plasma Coagulation (h-APC) combines an ablation technique (APC) with the option for submucosal saline injection using a high-pressure water jet. The technique allows to lift of dysplastic epithelium thus creating a safety cushion under the mucosa is lifted with a saline injection and then to ablate larger areas more thoroughly and with a higher energy setting, with a low risk for side effects or complications.
Single Center, open label, Phase I-II trial designed to test the safety and efficacy of the combination of Ataluren and Pembrolizumab for the treatment of metastatic mismatch repair deficient and proficient colorectal adenocarcinoma and metastatic mismatch repair deficient endometrial carcinoma.
This study will examine the association between low muscle mass (myopenia) at diagnosis and chemotherapy toxicity in older adults with newly diagnosed advanced colorectal cancer.
