Filter by:Background: Esophageal cancer commonly occurs in middle-aged man. It is ranked to the 6th common cancer and 5th cancer-related death in Taiwanese male, and sometimes co-exist with oropharyngeal cancer, which impacts our national economics and productivity a lot. To improve the prognosis of esophageal cancer, we should contribute to early diagnosis and improved treatment of the disease. Recent studies showed oral and esophageal dysbiosis may lead to oropharyngeal and esophageal cancer. Aim: To investigate whether oral microbiota is similar to esophageal microbiota. To investigate whether oral microbiota can be a non-invasive biomarker of oropharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, synchronous cancer and chemoradiation resistance. And whether probiotic supplement can improve oral/esophageal dysbiosis in order to prevent esophageal cancer. Study design: This study compares the oral/esophageal microbiota composition between oropharyngeal cancer cases, esophageal cancer cases, synchronous cancer cases and non-cancer controls. In addition, the link between oral and esophageal microbiota will be explored. The study will identify the microbiota related with esophageal cancer development. We will also validate the effect of probiotic supplementation on improving oral/esophageal dysbiosis. Expected result and significance: Examination of oral microbiota has the potential to become a non-invasive tool for oropharyngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, and synchronous cancer. Probiotic supplementation has the potential to improve oral dysbiosis.
This study aim to determine if a different surgical technique could result in a lower anastomotic leak rate. The two techniques are equally used around the world and well described by the international literature but this is the first study that compare the two techniques.
This study examines how spinal cord stimulation (SCS) affects pain level and quality of life in patients experiencing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). CIPN is a nerve problem and one of the potential side effects of chemotherapy that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body. CIPN usually begins in the hands or feet and gets worse over time. SCS is a type of therapy that has proven to be effective in treating numerous non-malignant pain disorders including failed back surgery syndrome, refractory angina, limb ischemia, complex regional pain syndrome, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. SCS may also be useful in patients with CIPN. This study evaluates how SCS affects pain and quality of life in patients undergoing spinal cord stimulation for CIPN.
177Lu-LNC1010(177Lu-EB-TATE-01) is a radiotherapeutic drug indicated in subjects with unresectable, metastatic somatostatin receptor (SSTR) positive neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). In this study, we designed and developed a new radioligand, EB-TATE-01 (second generation long-acting EB-TATE formula), through combining EB and altering the linker to further improve the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, leading to substantially enhanced radioligand therapy effect. This is an open-label, non-controlled, non-randomized study to investigate the long-lasting radiolabeled somatostatin analogue based peptide receptor radionuclide therapy and evaluate response to 177Lu-LNC1010 in patients with advanced SSTR2-positive tumors. Different groups with doses of 2.22GBq (60 mCi), 3.7GBq (100mCi) and 5.18GBq (140mCi) of 177Lu-LNC1010 will be injected intravenously. All patients will undergo 68Ga-DOTA-Octreotide(TATE) PET/CT scans before and after the treatment.
This study is a single arm, open and multi center exploratory clinical study to observe the safety and effectiveness of CAR NK-CD19 in participants with recurrent or refractory CD19 positive B-cell malignant tumors, and preliminarily evaluate the expansion of this product in vivo and the objective remission rate after administration.
Pilot study assessing the feasibility and acceptability of the ABC123 framework, as well as goal concordance between patient and clinician stated goals. Patients >60 years old with recently diagnosed advanced, incurable cancer in for a first consultation at a participating medical oncology clinic. The team will pilot test the ABC123 framework delivery by an advanced practice provider working with a medical oncologist to inform the overall care planning process. This framework will routinely incorporate and implement existing resources from these 3 transdisciplinary tenets (geriatric, oncology, and palliative medicine) into initial care planning in a patient-centered manner. The team will follow patients from initial care planning to 6 months post-intervention and assess additional stakeholder feedback on barriers and facilitators to implementation.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the experimental drug(SYHX2001) in previously treated patients with advanced or metastatic cancer.
This research study involves a combination of three drugs given together as a possible treatment for malignant rhabdoid tumor, atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor, epithelioid sarcoma, chordoma or other tumors that are deficient in one of two possible proteins, either INI-1 (SMARCB1) or SMARCA4. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Tazemetostat (TAZVERIK) - Nivolumab (OPDIVO) - Ipilimumab (YERVOY)
This is a Phase 1b/2, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and immunogenicity of ADG126-pembrolizumab combination regimens in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumors.
Imiquimod is a good non-invasive treatment option for women with cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia (cHSIL), especially those with a possible (future) pregnancy wish. Complete response to imiquimod occurs in 55-73% of patients, however side-effects of imiquimod are common and can be extensive. Therefore, biomarkers which can predict response to imiquimod therapy are warranted, to increase therapy efficacy and to avoid side effects in patients who will not respond. This prospective, multi-center cohort study aims to validate the potential of immune related biomarkers to predict the clinical response of patients with primary cHSIL to imiquimod, aims to explore the value of these immune biomarkers in recurrent/residual cHSIL to predict treatment responses for imiquimod and aims to explore their potential in spontaneous regression of cHSIL (CIN2).
