Filter by:This is a feasibility study investigating the image quality of a new, high-performance cone beam CT (CBCT) used for on-couch imaging during radiotherapy treatments.
This study aims to evaluate the clinical value of mobile cone-beam CT (mCBCT) in combination with electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules, and to explore the value of mCBCT in improving the diagnostic yield by calculating the improvement in diagnostic yield of patients before and after mCBCT adjustments.
This study will determine the outcomes of anatomic lung resections in patients who recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease by describing the morbidity and mortality as well as the length of postoperative hospital stay.
The Evolution study is a phase 1a and 1b study evaluating the safety and pharmacokinetics of D5- ethyl-βGlucuronide as well as the target dose for the probe to maximize the difference between controls and subjects with lung cancer. The phase 1a study will be designed as a single ascending dose study in healthy volunteers and will be conducted in a phase 1 trial unit with a primary objective to assess safety of the probe. A subsequent phase 1b study will be conducted at clinical sites and will aim to find the optimal dosing and breath sampling protocol to maximize the accuracy of the breath test. Evolution Phase 1 is a multicentre study; Phase 1a will be conducted at a Phase 1 facility in Belgium and Phase 1b will be conducted in the UK.
Phase 2 randomized controlled study using a waitlist control group. The study also has a single arm pre-post test 12-week chair-based exercise arm for those who have received the geriatric assessment in the older adults with cancer clinic (geriatric oncology clinic). Study Duration 2.5 years Study Agent/ Intervention/ Procedure Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment and Management (GAM) combined with online chair-based exercise (CBE) and health education for 12 weeks.
The Guangzhou Women's Health Cohort Study aims to explore the health trajectory and factors contributing to the health of women aged 35-64 in Guangzhou. Based on multiple population health registration data platforms, data of the cohort will provide information about the health of women across the lifespan, facilitating the decision-making process by local government . The cohort is progressing steadily, and the goal is to build a large women cohort covering 11 administrative districts of Guangzhou with a scale of 1 million by 2030.
Being diagnosed with cancer impairs many areas of a person's life. Although efficacious educational, emotional and social interventions exist in this regard, they often reach few survivors and late. This project, carried out by a specialized centre in cancer care and health research, will study the effectiveness, costs, and utility associated with a digital ecosystem tailored to meet the needs of patients with advanced lung cancer. This solution bridges the gap between patients and professionals to offer health services precisely when they are needed. The project is developed in the first year of an advanced lung cancer diagnosis, comparing the effects of the digital ecosystem with usual care in terms of their capacity to improve various psychosocial indicators. A comparative economic analysis will be carried out as well, to prove the cost-utility of the digital ecosystem presented.
The O.R.E. - 30 seconds (Oncologists Recommend Exercise in 30 secs) trial aims to test the impact of oncologist recommendations on physical activity level, in patients with lung cancer.
CLUS version 1.0, had proven that LDCT led to a 74.1% increase in detecting early-stage lung cancer compare to usual care (NCT02898441). CLUS version 2.0 evaluated the efficacy of new techniques (AI, AFI and MTB) in fostering the implementation of lung cancer screening (NCT03975504). The present multi-center study is performed to evaluate the effectiveness of different lung cancer screening strategy and validate our previous findings. 100,000 high-risk subjects (age 45-75) were recruited to take LDCT screening (Baseline + 2 biennial repeated LDCT screening). Follow-up for lung cancer incidence, lung cancer mortality and overall mortality was performed. Blood samples were stored in a Biobank. Management of positive screening test was carried out by a pre-specified protocol.
Adequate pain control after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for lung resection is important to improve postoperative mobilisation, recovery, and to prevent pulmonary complications. So far, no consensus exists on optimal postoperative pain management after VATS anatomic lung resection. Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) is the reference standard for postoperative pain management following VATS. Although the analgesic effect of TEA is clear, it is associated with patient immobilisation, bladder dysfunction and hypotension which may result in delayed recovery and longer hospitalisation. These disadvantages of TEA initiated the development of unilateral regional techniques for pain management. The most frequently used techniques are continuous paravertebral block (PVB) and single-shot intercostal nerve block (ICNB). The investigators hypothesize that using either PVB or ICNB is non-inferior to TEA regarding postoperative pain and superior regarding quality of recovery (QoR). Signifying faster postoperative mobilisation, reduced morbidity and shorter hospitalisation, these techniques may therefore reduce health care costs and improve patient satisfaction.
