Filter by:Caloric restriction may alter the response to chemotherapy induced stress response and enhance its antitumor effect. This study intends to use an intermitted caloric restriction protocol with alternate days before the chemotherapy administration to enhance the cytotoxic effect generated by standard treatment of cancer.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent government-imposed restrictions have undeniably resulted in unprecedented changes to the life of patients with cancer. It has become more evident that patients with cancer may be at significant risk of higher morbidity and mortality when infected with SARS-CoV-2, which is understandably causing anxiety amongst both patients and their oncology team. This project is a single centre, non-interventional observational prospective cohort study; which aims to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health and general wellbeing of patients diagnosed with solid malignancies by utilising a range of non-invasive questionnaires (GAD-7, PHQ-9, PC-PTSD-5, WHO-5 and Wellbeing thermometer). Data on patient demographics, treatment and medical history, and medical resource utilization will be obtained through a medical chart review at enrolment for up to 4 months. Participants will be asked to complete five questionnaires regarding their mental health and wellbeing status during their routine clinic visits, but no other additional tests or procedures will be undertaken for the study outside of their routine care. It is essential to understand both the short and long term psychological consequences of COVID-19 on cancer patients to better inform the institute and other regional and national stakeholders of the scale of the issue, in order to recommend necessary measures and resources required to address this important issue.
This trial is an investigator-initiated, single-center, open-label, single-arm exploratory study of mRNA personalized neoantigen tumor vaccine in the treatment of advanced solid tumors, including two phases: dose escalation and dose expansion. The main objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of personalized neoantigen tumor vaccine in subjects with advanced solid tumors, and secondary objective is to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of personalized neoantigen tumor vaccine in subjects with advanced solid tumors. According to the characteristics of safety and efficacy data in the dose escalation phase, the dose expansion is performed at the intended clinical dose based on the investigator's judgment, and the treatment will be performed in combination with PD-1 to further evaluate the efficacy and safety profile of personalized neoantigen tumor vaccine at a specific dose. Both the dose escalation phase and dose expansion phase include a screening period (Week -4 ~ Week -2), a baseline period (Week -1 ~ Day -1), a treatment period (Day 1 ~ Week 8 or 16), and a follow-up period. Subjects who signed and provided the formal informed consent entered the screening period. The treatment period included the initial treatment period (Day 1 ~ Week 8) and the enhanced treatment period (Week 12 ~ Week 16). The investigator determine if the subject is suitable to enter the enhanced treatment period based on the comprehensive judgment of the subject's efficacy, safety, compliance and other factors. Dose escalation phase is the traditional 3 + 3 design,, 12-18 subjects are expected to be enrolled at 100 μg, 200 μg and 400 μg (3-6 subjects in each group). The low dose group will be enrolled first. The investigator will choose the optimal clinical dose for dose expansion, which can be one dose group or multiple dose groups. PD-1 will be administered in parallel to further confirm the efficacy and safety of neoantigen tumor vaccine. About 18 subjects will be enrolled. The usage and dosage of PD-1 should aligned with the package insert.
This pilot trial compares drug exposure levels using a new method for dosing vincristine in infants and young children compared to the standard dosing method based on body surface area (BSA) in older children. Vincristine is an anticancer drug used to a variety of childhood cancers. The doses anticancer drugs in children must be adjusted based on the size of the child because children vary significantly in size (height, weight, and BSA) and ability to metabolize drugs from infancy to adolescence. The dose of most anticancer drugs is adjusted to BSA, which is calculated from a patient's weight and height. However, infants and young children have more severe side effects if the BSA is used to calculate their dose, so new dosing models have to be made to safely give anticancer drugs to the youngest patients. This new method uses a BSA-banded approach to determine the dose. Collecting blood samples before and after a dose of the drug will help researchers determine whether this new vincristine dosing method results in equivalent drug levels in the blood over time in infants and young children compared to older children.
This is Phase Ib/II, multicenter, open-label adaptive platform study of JDQ443 with select therapies in patients with advanced solid tumors harboring the KRAS G12C mutation.
This is a Phase 1/2, first-in-human, open label, multicenter study to assess safety and tolerability, antitumor activity, and immunogenic and pharmacodynamic effects of SQZ-eAPC-HPV as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with recurrent, locally advanced, or metastatic HPV16+ solid tumors. The study includes patients with head and neck, cervical, anal, vulvar, or penile cancer.
The main idea of this study is that a low protein diet may alter the environment surrounding the tumor, enhancing the body's immune response leading to greater anticancer effects of treatment. This study intends to use a low-protein diet as a tool to enhance the immune response generated by immune check point inhibitor treatments.
This is a Phase I, open-label, multi-center, dose-finding study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of ET0038 in patients with advanced solid tumors. It is anticipated that approximately 37 subjects will be enrolled in the dose-escalation phase of the study. ET0038 will be administered orally once daily (QD) in 21-day treatment cycles.
The researchers are doing this study to find out whether hemithoracic intensity-modulated pleural radiation therapy (IMPRINT) is a safe treatment that causes few or mild side effects in people with pleural metastases from thymic malignancies. The researchers will also look at whether hemithoracic IMPRINT is effective against participants' cancer.
