Filter by:Oral Mucositis (OM) is a painful and debilitating side effect of many of the drug/radiation regimens used to treat cancer. This study examines the investigational drug brilacidin and its possible application in prevention of oral mucositis in patients undergoing chemoradiation for treatment of head and neck cancer.
The purpose of this study is to study the effects of EPA-enriched supplement compared with conventional supplement in malnourished head and neck cancer patients undergone surgery. Primary outcome is perioperative weight changing.
The purpose of this study is to explore the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and preliminary efficacy of INCB024360 administered in combination with MEDI4736 in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors.
The phase I trial aims to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) and schedule of olaparib in combination with standard cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy, in patients with high-risk locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC), by assessing the safety and tolerability of the treatment combination.
This study evaluates the efficiency and safety of ChiNing decoction to head and neck cancer patients with radioactive stomatitis. Half of participants will receive ChiNing decoction, while others will receive recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) spray.
The goal of this trial is to test the ability of MK-3475 (pembrolizumab) to improve locoregional recurrence and distant metastatic rates in high-risk patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) that are treated with current standard of care surgical approaches.
The robot-assisted surgery allows three-dimensional view, detailed access of small structures, depth perception and articulated movements with wide latitude. Thinking about the inclusion of this branch of surgical outcome ICESP encouraged the training of their doctors and other health professionals , and has three tutors in the area of robot- assisted laparoscopic surgery , and various medical clinical staff , already trained , and already perform the procedure in other centers . The da Vinci ® Surgical System ( only existing in the World market) , consisting of one or two consoles for the surgeon and a tutor if necessary was adopted. Ergonomically designed, a stand next to the patient , with four interactive robotic arms , one of them , a vision system for high performance and the other three for exclusive EndoWrist ® instruments . Driven by the latest robotic technology , computer programs , frictionless transmission of manual controls , movements in scale and filtered made by the surgeon in the da Vinci ® System console are translated into precise movements of the instruments EndoWrist ® For surgeons , the da Vinci ® System offers superior 3D viewing with larger surgical precision ergonomic comfort and dexterity . For hospitals , the da Vinci ® Surgical System enables clinical and economic benefits of minimally invasive surgery are applied to a broader base of patients cirúrgicos.The main objective is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of robotic surgery in the surgical treatment of cancer in operations below, as their specialties : Digestive , Urology , Gynecology , Head and Neck and Thorax . This is a prospective study lasting 36 months , where 1120 patients with surgical diseases in programming for the following operations will be studied : transthoracic esophagectomy ; subtotal gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy ; partial pancreatectomy ; resection of the rectum ; prostatectomy ; cystectomy ; partial nephrectomy ; hysterectomy with or without pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy ; resection of malignant tumors of the mouth and orofaringolaringe and lung lobectomy . Patients will come from the outpatient services of the Institute of Cancer of São Paulo - ICESP
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn which areas of the brain respond to acupuncture that is designed to prevent xerostomia (dry mouth) in patients with head and neck cancer. Researchers also want to learn if acupuncture can help prevent dry mouth and improve patient quality of life.
This was a multicenter, open-label, 2-part randomized study of MEDI4736 administered as monotherapy or in combination with ADXS11-001 to participants with recurrent/persistent or metastatic squamous or non-squamous carcinoma of the cervix or metastatic human papillomaviruses (HPV)+ squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).
Eligible participants with locoregional inoperable recurrence or second primary squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck will be treated with reirradiation combined with anti-PD-1 mAb MK-3475 (generic name: pembrolizumab, trade name Keytruda®).
