Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of Dengvaxia® when used in the real-world immunization setting Primary Objective: - To measure the incidence of selected adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) occurring over a period of six (6) months after each Dengvaxia® dose administration; - To quantify the association between Dengvaxia® and each of the selected AEs and SAEs for which a risk window after vaccination can be defined, using estimates of relative risk - To monitor the occurrence and frequency of hospitalized dengue disease as well as any other SAEs leading to hospitalization or death, including new and previously unrecognized SAEs, following Dengvaxia® administration on a longer term (up to 5 years after the first Dengvaxia® dose administration. Secondary objectives: - To identify risk factors for hospitalized dengue disease (severe or not) among subjects vaccinated with Dengvaxia®; - To describe the frequency of hospitalized dengue disease and/or other SAEs or selected AEs according to the number of Dengvaxia® doses and/or interval between doses.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give hyperthermia and high dose rate radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer that has come back after prior radiation treatment. Radiation therapy, such as high dose rate brachytherapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Hyperthermia therapy may make tumor cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation therapy by heating them to several degrees above normal body temperature. Giving hyperthermia and high dose rate radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radiation.
Preoperative radiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer increases the possibility of complete resection and anal sphincter preservation. However, a treatment period of from 5 to 6 weeks is an obstacle of proper surgical intervention. Also, radiotherapy itself is confronting challenges for maximizing the therapeutic effect and minimizing the side effects. Electro-hyperthermia is appropriate treatment method to solve these kinds of problems. In this clinical trial, therapeutic effect of the high-frequency electro-hyperthermia is to be verified during preoperative radiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer. The ultimate goal is to establish a safe and effective treatment protocol.
This is the first randomized trial comparing Early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for appendiceal and colorectal cancer. The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, EPIC and HIPEC after cytoreductive surgery have on the patient and the appendiceal, rectal or colon cancer.
The purpose of this study is to see if the investigators can improve the treatment of this type of cancer. They want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, giving heated chemotherapy into the belly, known as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), has on the patient and this type of cancer. The goal of HIPEC is to expose any cancer left in the abdomen after surgery to high doses of chemotherapy. The chemotherapy is heated in the hope that this will make it easier for it to get into and kill the cancer cells. The drug used for HIPEC will be carboplatin, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug for use in ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer.
