NCT ID: NCT02366884 Recruiting - Neoplasms Clinical Trials

Clinical Evaluation of a New Form of Cancer Therapy (Atavistic Chemotherapy) Based on the Principles of Atavistic Metamorphosis (2011)

Start date: July 26, 2011
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The cell behavior that the investigators regard as "malignant," including: cell autonomy; invasion and digestion of surrounding normal tissues; migration and colonization of distant organs; ability to develop resistance to drugs, temperature, or radiation; and ability to kill the host, are not only characteristics of cancer cells, but of pathogenic and/or opportunistic unicellular organisms (bacteria, fungi and protozoa). Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902), the father of modern pathology, first pointed out the resemblance between the biological behavior of cancer cells and that of single-celled organisms when causing infections. He thought, incorrectly, that cancer cells were cells infected with bacteria and had acquired their pathogenic behavior from them. Others later postulated that the behavior of cancer cells was likely due to the re-expression of past traits and behaviors (atavism) derived from their past evolutionary experience as independent, single-celled organisms from which all cells in multicellular organisms originated. In other words, the behavior of pathogenic unicellular organisms, including: unlimited replicative potential; capacity for invasion, migration, and metastases; abilities to evade the host's immune system, to generate multi-drug resistance; and to kill a host, are what the investigators define as "cancer" when one of the investigators cells re-express these past ancestral traits. This reversion or de-evolution of a differentiated cell to its ancestral undifferentiated, unicellular form has been named "Atavistic Metamorphosis." This does not imply that cancer cells are bacteria, protozoa, or yeasts. It means that cancer cells express functions and/or behaviors similar to their ancestral parents, the unicellular organisms from which our cells originated. If this is true, a combination of drugs that are effective to eradicate certain unicellular organisms may work in cancer treatment. The principal objective of this study is to determine whether there is a benefit for patients with advanced, metastatic and terminal cancers to be treated with combinations of selected drugs conventionally used in medical practice to kill bacterial, fungal and protozoal cells.

NCT ID: NCT02366143 Completed - Clinical trials for Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

A Study of Atezolizumab in Combination With Carboplatin Plus (+) Paclitaxel With or Without Bevacizumab Compared With Carboplatin+Paclitaxel+Bevacizumab in Participants With Stage IV Non-Squamous Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

IMpower150
Start date: March 31, 2015
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This randomized, open-label study evaluated the safety and efficacy of atezolizumab (an engineered anti-programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1] antibody) in combination with carboplatin+paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab compared with treatment with carboplatin+paclitaxel+bevacizumab in chemotherapy-naïve participants with Stage IV non-squamous NSCLC. Participants were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to Arm A (Atezolizumab+Carboplatin+Paclitaxel), Arm B (Atezolizumab+Carboplatin+Paclitaxel+Bevacizumab), or Arm C (Carboplatin+Paclitaxel+Bevacizumab).

NCT ID: NCT02361840 Recruiting - ARDS Clinical Trials

Predictive Value of Troponin I for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Children With Shock

Start date: October 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Shock is one of the five leading causes of income and mortality in emergencies. It generates a decrease in the availability of oxygen to the tissues, resulting in ischemia, pulmonary involvement and tissue reperfusion syndrome. This pathologies can trigger Syndrome of Acute Respiratory Distress (ARDS) and death. Troponin I (TI) has been reported as early marker for ischemia and mortality other than coronary syndromes in critical patients. Objective. Set the increase of TI as a predictor of ARDS in children with shock. Null hypothesis. Increase serum in children with shock predicts the onset of ARDS. Methodology. Prospective cohort type test diagnostic. Displays institutional. Sampling non-probability, consecutive inclusion. Calculation of the sample size: interval of confidence (IC) 95%, power - 80%; ratio non-exposed: exposed 2:1; n = 62. Inclusion criteria: informed consent signed by the parent; children admitted to pediatric emergency (PEU) 1 month to 14 years with shock requiring mechanical ventilation. Exclusion criteria: intake of toxic (TI value increment per will), ≥3 concentrated erythrocyte transfusion or plasma prior to entering PEU. The investigators call exposure to the increase of TI≥0 05ng/ml and event to the development of ARDS. Determine TI value in plasma serum in the first 24 h, through Enzyme Immunoassay for the Quantitative Determination of Cardiac-Specific Troponin-I in Human Serum (cTnI ELISA), (reported as cardiac triage). Monitoring for 7 days. Study was approved by Hospital Ethics Committee (Research record 003/12)
