Filter by:This study will assess and compare the diagnostic performances and image quality of two WB 3D T1-weighted MR imaging sequences for bone and node staging in patients with prostate cancer : the FSE sequence and a gradient echo (GE) sequence. The latter sequence's main feature is its acquisition time of approximately 1.5 minutes, compared to 18 min for the FSE sequence, reducing the exam's acquisition time, patient discomfort and increasing machine availability.
This study was designed to analyze the prognosis and recurrence predictive factors of high risk patients (Clinical Risk Scoreā„3) of resectable colorectal liver metastasis. The efficacy of perioperative chemotherapy plus cetuximab and chemotherapy alone was compared for these patients.
This is an open-label, randomized, active comparator, multicenter, international Phase 3 study of NKTR-102 versus TPC in patients with metastatic breast cancer who have stable brain metastases and have been previously treated with an anthracycline, a taxane, and capecitabine in either the adjuvant or metastatic setting (prior anthracycline may be omitted if medically appropriate or contraindicated for the patient).
This is a Phase 1 dose escalation to assess the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose of subcutaneous administered SDX-7320 in patients with advanced refractory or late-stage solid tumors.
The current Rethinking Clinical Trials (REaCT) trial will compare two schedules(12- vs. 4-weekly) of bone-targeting agents (BTAs) to evaluate quality of life, pain and skeletal events within the Canadian Health Care System. This study will use an "integrated consent model" that involves "oral consent" rather than a written informed consent writing process as the study is comparing standard schedules and not a new administration schedule.
After standard multimodal therapy, the prognosis of relapsed and unresectable high-grade osteosarcoma is dismal and unchanged over the last decades.Thus, the investigators explored apatinib activity in patients with relapsed and unresectable osteosarcoma after the failure of first-line or second-line chemotherapy. Patients >16 years, progressing after standard treatment, were eligible to receive 500 mg or 750 mg of apatinib once daily until progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS) at 4 months and objective response rate (ORR). Secondary objectives were PFS, overall survival (OS), clinical benefit rate (CBR), defined as no progression at 6 months and safety.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical feasibility and short-term outcome of switching monopolar RFA using a separable cluster electrode in patients with primary and secondary liver malignancies.
To determine safety, ablative zone, technical success rate and early safety data of recently introduced cool-wet electrode in eligible patients who are indicative for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for liver tumors.
Increasing ablative zone is an essential part to improve technical success and long term outcome in patient treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA). A combination of dual switching system and separable clustered electrode has been reported to create large ablative zone in preclinical study. Based on preclinical study, the investigators conducted a preliminary study in eligible 60 patients to measure whether this combination (dual switching system and separable clustered electrode) improves technical success rate and local tumor progression rate over a year, in comparison with historical control group.
The prognosis of peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer has recently improved with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Although outcomes are further improved when early stage peritoneal metastases are treated, adjuvant HIPEC has not yet been thoroughly addressed. This prospective pilot study assessed feasibility, safety and efficacy of HIPEC performed simultaneously with primary curative surgery in colorectal cancer patients with primary tumor-related risk-factors for the development of metachronous peritoneal metastases.
