Filter by:The goal of this observational case-control study is to learn about the circulating and tissue microRNA expression, imaging and radiomic profiles of malignant ovarian germ cell tumours (MOGCT) compared to patients with a benign OGCT and no ovarian pathology. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: 1. To understand the circulating miRNA expression of malignant ovarian germ cell tumours (MOGCTs) compared to those with benign ovarian germ cell tumours (BOGCTs) 2. To understand the imaging profile of MOGCTs compared to that of BOGCTs 3. To establish the relationship between serum and plasma miRNA expression in response to treatment and relapse of disease 4. To discover if miRNA expression correlates with radiomic features of OGCTs on both ultrasound and MRI 5. To see if we can link the micro RNAs in tumour samples to those found in blood samples, and to find a plausible explanation for why these micro RNAs are raised (in terms of the tumour biology itself).aims Participants will have serial blood tests at different time points in their care to assess how circulating miRNA levels are affected by treatment and/or remission and/or relapse. If they have surgery, a pathology sample will be taken from the main tumour specimen. Radiomic analysis will take place on existing ultrasound images of their mass. Researchers will compare the circulating miRNA profile of patients with a benign ovarian germ cell tumour and no ovarian pathology to see where the differences lie. If a patient with a BOGCT requires surgery, a pathology sample will be taken from the main tumour specimen. Radiomic analysis will take place on existing ultrasound images of their benign mass.
This early phase I trial evaluates different administration techniques (oral or intravenous) for arginine and tests the safety of giving arginine with whole brain radiation therapy in patients who have cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to the brain (brain metastases). Arginine is an essential amino acid. Amino acids are the molecules that join together to form proteins in the body. Arginine supplementation has been shown to improve how brain metastases respond to radiation therapy. The optimal dosing of arginine for this purpose has not been determined. This study measures the level of arginine in the blood with oral and intravenous dosing at specific time intervals before and after drug administration to determine the best dosing strategy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility of offering oncology patients a referral to the outpatient palliative care clinic based on virtual symptom screening before oncology clinic appointments, and to qualitatively explore factors patients consider when deciding to accept or defer a visit to this clinic. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires assessing quality of life, symptom burden, depression, anxiety, and satisfaction with care at baseline, 2, 4, and 6 months.
This study is aim to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of GH21 combined with previous target therapy or immunotherapy in patients with advanced solid tumors.
This is an open-label pilot study of tamoxifen as chemoprevention in patients with pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) who will not undergo immediate resection. Up to 15 participants will be enrolled and take tamoxifen 20mg by mouth daily for up to 24 weeks.
With the shift to ambulatory care and the rise of ATCO oral anticancer drugs, a growing number of cancer patients are benefiting from oral treatment in an outpatient setting, which meets their needs and preference over injectable chemotherapy with more autonomy and less time spent in the hospital. However, outside the safe hospital context, the complex pharmacological profile of ATCO exposes patients to iatrogenic drug risks. These medicinal problems or Drug Related Problems DRP linked to ATCO are sources of dosage modifications and lead to sub-therapeutic doses compared to clinical trials and consequently to a reduction, in life actual, dose-intensity and expected response. Furthermore, insufficiently controlled in an ambulatory environment and due to a lack of city-hospital coordination, DRPs lead to an increase in the consumption of care. Oncoral is the pioneering multidisciplinary city-hospital monitoring of outpatients treated with oral anticancer drugs. Set up in 2014 by the Hospices Civils de Lyon, this educational monitoring is based on a tripartite hospital intervention (oncologist, pharmacist, nurse) and a structured city-hospital link with private health professionals (attending doctor, community pharmacist and freelance nurse). Multidisciplinary interventions are focused on PROs and DRPs and combine an educational approach for the patient based on their needs and potential social vulnerabilities. The PACOME real-life database will describe the population of ambulatory patients treated by ATCO benefiting from the secure multidisciplinary city-hospital Oncoral pathway with the aim of improving knowledge on this population, on the real-life use of ATCO and on new methods of organizing ambulatory cancer care. The PACOME database collects sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic data, and experiences in this population. Patients quality of life and other PROs (symptoms and adverse effects experienced by patients), social determinants, health care consumption, the caregiver-patient relationship, the use of digital technology in health, the organization of care, the city-hospital link (interventions of actors and their temporality). This base will make it possible to optimize the treatment of patients at the individual and population level and to generate evidence in addition to clinical trials, which are expected by health professionals and decision-makers. With patient data from the secure Oncoral pathway, PACOME brings together the three major and inseparable assets of real-life databases: quality, completeness and meaning of the data. It constitutes a basis for essential academic and private collaborations for studies on data and comparative observational or interventional studies, which will contribute to the animation of the new ecosystem of real-life health data in oncology.
This study is being conducted to assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of INCB160058 in Participants With Myeloproliferative Neoplasms.
This phase II ADC MATCH screening and multi-sub-study treatment trial is evaluating whether biomarker-directed treatment with one of three antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) (sacituzumab govitecan, enfortumab vedotin, and trastuzumab deruxtecan) works in treating patients with solid tumor cancers that have high expression of the Trop-2, nectin-4, or HER2 proteins and that may have spread from where they first started (primary site) to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or to other places in the body (metastatic). Precision medicine is a form of medicine that uses information about a person's genes, proteins, and environment to prevent, diagnose, or treat disease in a way that is tailored to the patient. ADCs such as sacituzumab govitecan, enfortumab vedotin, and trastuzumab deruxtecan are monoclonal antibodies attached to biologically active drugs and are a form of targeted therapy. Sacituzumab govitecan is a monoclonal antibody, called sacituzumab, linked to a drug called govitecan. Sacituzumab attaches to a protein called Trop-2 on the surface of tumor cells and delivers govitecan to kill them. Enfortumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, enfortumab, linked to an anticancer drug called vedotin. It works by helping the immune system to slow or stop the growth of tumor cells. Enfortumab attaches to a protein called nectin-4 on tumor cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is composed of a monoclonal antibody, called trastuzumab, linked to a chemotherapy drug, called deruxtecan. Trastuzumab attaches to HER2 positive tumor cells in a targeted way and delivers deruxtecan to kill them. Personalized treatment with sacituzumab govitecan, enfortumab vedotin, or trastuzumab deruxtecan may be an effective treatment option for patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that screen positive for high expression of Trop-2, nectin-4, or HER2, respectively.
