Long course radiotherapy plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by resection total mesorecta excision has accepted widespread recognized in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Tislelizumab, an anti-PD1(programmed death 1) humanized IgG4 (Immunoglomin G4) monoclonal antibody, has been demonstrated with clinical activity and is approved for treating recurrent/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma and locally advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma in China. The aim of This NCRT-PD-1-LARC trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus tislelizumab followed by total mesorecta excision for LARC. This NCRT-PD-1-LARC trial will be a prospective, multicenter and phase Ⅱ clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LARC patients treated with long course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus tislelizumab followed by total mesorecta excision. It will consecutively enroll 50 stage II/III LARC patients (cT3N0M0 and cT1-3N1-2M0) with the tumor distal location ≤ 10cm from anal verge at 7 centers in China. The enrolled patients will receive long course radiotherapy (50 Gy/25 f, 2 Gy/f, 5 days/week) and three 21-day cycles capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, bid, po, day1-14) plus three 21-day cycles tislelizumab (200 mg, iv.gtt, day8), followed by total mesorecta excision 6-12 week after the end of radiotherapy. The primary efficacy endpoint will be the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, which is defined as absence of viable tumor cells in the primary tumor and lymph nodes.
Patients with digestive tract malignancy often experience severe and unremitting abdominal pain that negatively affects physical, emotional, and social function, as well as health related quality of life (HRQOL). Therapeutic virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising and evidence-based treatment modality for cancer pain. Users of VR wear a pair of goggles with a close-proximity screen in front of the eyes that creates a sensation of being transported into lifelike, three-dimensional worlds. To date, VR has been limited to short-term clinical trials for cancer pain. Moreover, limited research exists on theory-based VR modalities beyond mere distraction, such as VR that employs acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with components of biofeedback and mindfulness. To bridge these gaps, this study seeks to: (1) assess the impact of immersive VR on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including pain, activity metrics, and opioid use among patients with visceral pain from a digestive tract malignancy; (2) assess differences in PROs, activity metrics, and opioid use between skills-based VR therapy vs. distraction VR therapy; and (3) determine patient-level predictors of VR treatment response in visceral cancer pain. To address these aims, the study will measure PROs and opioid use in 360 patients randomized among 3 groups and follow them for 60 days after enrollment: (1) an enhanced VR group receiving skills-based VR; (2) a distraction-based VR group receiving patient-selected VR videos; and (3) a VR sham control group using a VR headset with 2-D content. The results will inform best practices for the implementation of VR for visceral cancer pain management and guide selection of patient-tailored experiences.
This is a Phase II, open label, multicentre, multi-arm, study to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of RXC004 as monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab in patients with Ring finger protein 43 (RNF43) or R-spondin (RSPO) aberrated, microsatellite stable (MSS), colorectal cancer (CRC), that have progressed following current standard of care treatment.
The aim of the study is to determine if Serrated Poliposis Syndrome (SPS) patients with SPS criteria 2, with clearing phase achieved and without any advanced lesion or less than 5 relevant lesions at last colonoscopy have the same advanced neoplasia incidence in the surveillance colonoscopy at 2 or 3 years. Patients selected for the study will be randomised in two groups for the surveillance: group 1, surveillance with colonoscopy in two years; group 2, surveillance with colonoscopy in three years. Randomization will be done at the database program (RedCAP). All colonoscopies will be performed with high definition (HD) system and it will be the choice of the endoscopist whether to use chromoendoscopy with indigo carmine o virtual chromoendoscopy. Protocol bowel preparation will be recommended by each centre. Sedation will be prescribed and decided by the endoscopist during the examination. Data from all the resected and visualized lesions during the colonoscopy will be collected on the database. A pathologist familiarized with serrated lesions will be in charge of the sample analysis. Serrated lesions will be classified attending de WHO criteria for serrated lesions. The investigators define "advanced adenoma" as adenomas ≥10 mm with villous histology and/or with high grade of dysplasia (HGD). The investigators define "advanced SL" as any SL ≥10mm and any SL with dysplasia. The investigators also define "advanced neoplasia" as any colorectal cancer (CRC), any advanced adenoma or advanced Serrated Lesions (SL). Quality of bowel cleansing will be graded by each endoscopist following the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale. This scale evaluates each segment (ascending colon, transverse colon and descending colon) of the following form: 0 = segment of colon whose mucosa cannot be seen due to the existence of solid stools that cannot be eliminated; 1 = mucosa portion of a colonic segment that can be seen, but other areas of the colonic segment are not seen, either due to the presence of dirt, feces or opaque liquid; 2 = existence of small amount of dirt, small fragments of stool and / or opaque liquid, but the mucosa of the colonic segment can be seen well; 3 = all the mucosa of the colonic segment can be seen well without residual dirt, small traces of stool or opaque liquid. Patients with inadequate preparation (when in any segment the score is 0 or 1, or the total score is less than 6) will be excluded from the study. During colonoscopy all complications as post-polypectomy bleeding, perforation or cardio-respiratory events will be registered. Those complications will be considered if surgery or hospital admission is required.
Postoperative ileus (POI) is one of the most common causes of prolonged hospital stays after abdominal surgery. The pathophysiology of POI is multifactorial and complex.It is known to be associated with sympathetic neural reflexes,local and systemic inflammatory mediators,and changes invarious neural and hormonal transmitters.Sympathetic (adrenergic) hyperactivity results in reduction of propulsive motility,and an increase in sphinctertone.Parasympathetic (cholinergic) hypoactivity results in adecrease in gastrointestinalmotility. Various agents called prokinetic drugs,including erythromycin, metoclopramide, cholinergic agents have been assessed in an effort to improved gastrointestinal motility. Mosapridecitrate is another prokinetic drug that selectively activates 5-HT4 receptors. Mosapride stimulates serotonin receptor in the digestive tract and increases acetylcholine release to promote upper digestive tract (stomach and duodenum) and lower digestive tract (colon) motility and gastric emptying without cardiac side effects. We therefore investigate the effect of mosapride on postoperative gastrointestinal motility after open and laparoscopic colectomy in a prospective randomized, controlled study in patients under going colectomy.
This clinical trial studies the effectiveness of a web-based cancer education tool called Helping Oncology Patients Explore Genomics (HOPE-Genomics) in improving patient knowledge of personal genomic testing results and cancer and genomics in general. HOPE-Genomics is a web-based education tool that teaches cancer/leukemia patients, and patients who may be at high-risk for developing cancer, about genomic testing and provide patients with information about their own genomic test results. The HOPE-Genomics tool may improve patient's genomic knowledge and quality of patient-centered care. In addition, it may also improve education and care quality for future patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AGuIX (Activation and Guidance of Irradiation by X-ray) gadolinium-based nanoparticles make radiation work more effectively in the treatment of patients with brain metastases that are more difficult to control with stereotactic radiation alone.
Bowel obstruction is a common complication in patients with ovarian, peritoneal and bowel cancer due to a mass or spread of disease, causing narrowing to the gut, as these cancers can grow on the bowel surface. Certain foods may lead to symptoms such as pain, bloating, feeling full, feeling sick, vomiting and difficulty passing a bowel motion. There is limited evidence to establish the best diet to follow when someone is diagnosed with the risk of bowel obstruction and is experiencing symptoms after eating and drinking. The Dietitians at the Royal Surrey have developed a 4 stage bowel obstruction diet which they have been using with patients for 3 years. The 4 stages are clear fluids, all thin liquids, low fibre soft smooth diet, low fibre soft sloppy diet. Depending on the severity of symptoms and the risk of a blockage, patients are asked to follow a certain stage of the diet. They are advised to move up and down the stages as symptoms improve or get worse. This feasibility study aims to investigate if the diet can be used and is effective in clinical practice. The objectives are to see if this diet is easy to follow, can reduce symptoms of bowel obstruction, can improve quality of life, and reduce admissions to hospital because of bowel blockages. Patients at risk of bowel obstruction from colorectal or ovarian cancer are eligible to participate. They will remain in the study for a period of 4 weeks, during which time they will be asked to complete a diet diary and 3 questionnaires.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of co-formulated pembrolizumab/quavonlimab versus other treatments in participants with MSI-H or dMMR Metastatic Stage IV Colorectal Cancer.
