Filter by:This is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor efficacy of SYH2051 in patients with advanced solid tumors or in combination with radiotherapy (RT) in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer.
This research is being done to collect and store biological specimens (biospecimens) from people with cancer, regardless of tumor type, who are receiving treatments known or thought to have an effect on the immune system. The goal of this discovery and exploratory study is to: - Understand changes in the immune system associated with various cancer treatments, in order to better design new therapies or tests to predict how these treatments might work. - Identify risk factors for those who go on to develop side effects from immunotherapy. Participants may be asked to: - Donate samples of tumor, blood, lymph nodes, white blood cells, mouth cells (buccal smears) scraped from the inside of participant's cheek, urine, saliva, or other tissue samples. - Complete questionnaires about immunotherapy side effects at baseline and with follow-up appointments. - Undergo knee x-rays. - Allow the use of demographic and clinical information.
The goal of this trial within cohorts study is to determine and compare physical performance, muscle strength, fatigue, quality of life, body composition, nutritional status, physical activity, treatment tolerability of radiotherapy (RT), chemoradiation (CRT) or bioradiation (BRT), and healthcare related costs in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) with and without a 10 week physical exercise intervention (PEI) during RT, CRT or BRT ((C/B)RT). Patients who were randomized in the PEI group and accepted the invitation to undergo the experimental intervention receive a PEI twice a week for 10 weeks. The PEI will be executed 6 to 7 weeks during and 3 to 4 weeks after (C/B)RT. Researchers will compare patients who undergo the PEI with patients who did not undergo the PEI to see if there is difference in physical performance, muscle strength, fatigue, Quality of Life, body composition, nutritional status, physical activity, treatment tolerability of (C/B)RT , and healthcare related costs in patients with Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) with and without a 10 week Physical Exercise Intervention (PEI) during (C/B)RT).
Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images are routinely used in radiation treatment delivery workflows to align patients with the treatment beam. Conventional CBCT image quality is sufficient for this task but not good enough for other radiotherapy-related tasks, such as contouring anatomical structures and calculating radiation dose distributions. HyperSight is a new CBCT imaging system manufactured by Varian Medical Systems. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the integration of the HyperSight imaging system with Varian's TrueBeam radiotherapy system, a linear accelerator with a C-arm gantry that rotates about the patient to delivery radiation to the target malignancy. HyperSight CBCT images will be acquired prospectively from patients who are receiving radiation treatment. The HyperSight/TrueBeam system will be used for imaging only; patients receive their radiation treatment on cleared devices and no aspect of their treatment is affected by participation in the study. HyperSight images collected during the study will be evaluated for quality and utility and compared to conventional CBCT images as well as fan beam CT images used for treatment planning.
TScan Therapeutics is developing cellular therapies across multiple solid tumors in which autologous participant-derived T cells are engineered to express a T cell receptor that recognizes cancer-associated antigens presented on specific Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) molecules. This is a multi-center, non-randomized, multi-arm, open-label, basket study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of single and repeat dose regimens of TCR'Ts as monotherapies and as T-Plex combinations after lymphodepleting chemotherapy in participants with locally advanced, metastatic solid tumors disease.
Dynamic changes in the internal environment of the body are important clues for early detection, diagnosis and even cure of head and neck tumors. This project uses the combination of proteomics technology and liquid biopsy to provide more primary prevention strategies for early intervention, secondary prevention strategies for early detection and treatment, and clues for the study of the mechanism of dynamic evolution of head and neck tumors.
20 participants are expected to be enrolled for this open，Single-armed clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the recombinant herpes simplex virus Ⅰ, R130 in patients with advanced solid tumors.
This is a multicenter, open-label, phase Ib/IIa study. The first part of the study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of ILB2109 and Toripalimab in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid malignancies. The second part of the study will evaluate the efficacy of ILB2109 and Toripalimab in patients with selected advanced solid malignancies.
This phase of the project will evaluate the utility and efficacy of a personalized online patient education platform developed from efforts in Phase 1 in 1) increasing patients' and caregivers' pre- and post-operative preparedness and satisfaction, and 2) reducing readmission, ED/Urgent care/unplanned clinic visits and telephone calls to clinic staff.
The Quality of Life of patients treated with hadrontherapy is still limited. Two cohorts are established, they will be receiving specific standardized questionnaires to be evalutaed in their results.
