Filter by:This is a Phase 1b, open label, multi-center study of CMB305 (sequentially administered LV305 [a dendritic cell-targeting viral vector expressing the NY-ESO-1 gene] and G305 [NY-ESO-1 recombinant protein plus GLA-SE]) in patients with melanoma, sarcoma, ovarian cancer, or non-small cell lung cancer that express NY-ESO-1.
100 patients with Breakthrough pain will be allocated to receive either oral prioxicam (OP) (n=50) or sublingual fentanyl (SLF) (n=50) . Patients will be divided randomly into two equal groups: oral prioxicam (OP) Group and sublingual fentanyl citrate (SLF) Group, comprising of 50 patients each. Pain intensity level on a 0-10 visual analog scale (VAS), patients will be instructed about the use of a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) (0 = no pain to 10 = worst possible pain). frequency of Breakthrough pain throughout the day, onset of relief (0-5, 6-10, 11-15, or over 16 min), time required for dose titration, patient satisfaction and adverse effects were assessed at 3, 7, 15, and 30 days after starting the treatment.
Stage Iļ¼preoperative therapy - Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin with herceptin is superior to surgery alone for patients with potentially resectable HER-2 positive gastric cancer with liver metastasis; Stage II: Perioperative therapy - Perioperative Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin with herceptin is superior to adjuvant Capecitabine plus oxaliplatin alone for patients with potentially resectable HER-2 positive gastric cancer with liver metastasis;
Vertebral augmentation with radiotherapy to increase the functional status and quality of life for patients with vertebral body metastatic cancers.
This study is being done to find out if SEA-CD40 is safe and effective when given alone, in combination with pembrolizumab, and in combination with pembrolizumab, gemcitabine, and nab-paclitaxel. The study will test increasing doses of SEA-CD40 given at least every 3 weeks to small groups of patients. The goal is to find the highest dose of SEA-CD40 that can be given to patients that does not cause unacceptable side effects. Different dose regimens will be evaluated. Different methods of administration may be evaluated. The pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic effects, biomarkers of response, and antitumor activity of SEA-CD40 will also be evaluated.
Literature has shown that hypofractionated radiotherapy regimens are efficacious in patients with complicated bone metastases and have a low potential for severe treatment-related toxicities. There is a clear need for hypofractionated schedules in the complicated bone metastases population, especially when considering the overarching aim of palliative radiotherapy and the clinical features of this patient population. As well, current research examining hypofractionated approaches in bone metastases patients with impending or pathologic fractures, neuropathic pain or accompanying soft tissue masses has been markedly scarce.
The understanding of the molecular mechanisms of neonatal diabetes has deeply changed the therapy of patients carrying mutations in the K-ATP channel. Indeed, those patients are not treated anymore by insulin injections but by glibenclamide an oral anti-diabetic drug widely used in type 2 diabetes. Anyway, its galenic form (pills of 5 mg) is not suitable for children and difficult to administrate to infants or young children. The purpose of this study is to determine if a new galenic form of this durg is more suitable and as efficient as pills in children with neonatal diabetes.
The goal of this survey of international HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) surgeons is to determine their knowledge of and attitudes towards the nutritional support needs of HIPEC patients and what their practice patterns are with this patient population.
The purpose of this research project is to test the effectiveness of nivolumab versus nivolumab together with ipilimumab for the treatment of melanoma brain metastases. Patients are eligible to join this study if they are aged 18 years or above and have been diagnosed with melanoma with brain metastases.
The purpose of this study is to collect information on the effect of minimally invasive spine tumor decompression on treated patients. This treatment option is less invasive that the standard surgical decompression and is expected to result in better wound healing, decreased tissue trauma, and decreased pain after surgery.
