This is an open-label, parallel-group, phase 2 randomized trial which randomizes patients with isolated resectable colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases to receive preoperative systematic therapy followed by CRS+HIPEC and postoperative chemotherapy or upfront CRS+HIPEC followed by postoperative chemotherapy.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is used for preoperative risk assessment in patients with colorectal cancer who need to undergo surgery. For presentation and interpretation purposes, CPET data are averaged by using a time- or breath-based average. It is uncertain to what extent differences in data averaging methods influence the numerical value of preoperative CPET-derived variables used for risk assessment. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to investigate the influence of different CPET data averaging intervals on the numerical values of CPET-derived variables used for preoperative risk assessment in patients scheduled for elective colorectal cancer surgery. The secondary aim is to elucidate the impact of data-averaging intervals on classification of patients into a low- or high-risk category for postoperative complications based on known risk assessment thresholds.
This is a Phase 1, first-in-human, open-label, adaptive-design outpatient study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK/PD of SON-1010 administered to patients with advanced solid tumors.
Few chemotherapeutic options exist for pancreatic cancer. Moreover, objective criteria are lacking for deciding which regimen is more beneficial for patient presenting with metastases at diagnosis. This study investigates whether organoid generation from tumour samples of pancreatic cancer is a safe and feasible process for testing of multiple chemotherapy regimens in the laboratory. By participating to this study, patients will have a part of the tumour tissue retrieved and sent to the laboratory for organoid generation and drug testing. For surgically-resectable tumors, tumoral tissue samples will be collected from the main surgical specimens, before sending it for final pathological examination. In case of suspected metastatic lesion at diagnosis, curative surgery is not indicated. Therefore, we will offer patients to undergo port-a-cath implantation for chemotherapy delivery and concomitant laparoscopic surgical excisional biopsy of suspicious metastatic (either hepatic or peritoneal) lesions. At this stage of the study, the treatment that the patient will receive after surgery will not be affected by the results of the laboratory testing. In fact, all patients will receive the standard of care treatment based on the most recent oncologic guidelines and on the oncologist's clinical judgement. As part of the study, each patient will be followed for 30 days to assess possible surgical complications related to the surgical biopsy. This study will help to speed up the implementation of organoid generation in the clinical routine for the choice of the best treatment of patients affected by pancreatic cancer.
The primary aims of the proposed research are to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary evidence of efficacy of a self-guided, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based mobile app intervention (SparkRx) for the treatment of adolescents presenting with symptoms of depression in specialty medical care settings (e.g.Hematology/Oncology, Weight Management, etc.) at Children's Health System of Texas (CHST).
A phase 1, dose escalation and dose expansion study of BR105 in patients with advanced malignancies.
The main technical difficulties in radioactive iodine-125 seed implantation (RISI) lie in the complexity of operation and the control of operation quality. The current data shows that under the combined guidance of 3D-printing template and CT, the accuracy of RISI has been significantly improved, and the actual target dose could meet the design requirements of preoperative plan. At present, 3D printing templates (3DPT) are divided into non-coplanar templates (3DPNCT) and coplanar templates (3DPCT). In clinical practice, due to the complex technical requirements, high production cost and long printing time of 3DPNCT, a considerable number of patients can also complete the treatment with 3DPCT. Moreover, compared with 3DPNCT, 3DPCT has the advantages of accurate needle path control, fast needle path adjustment, convenient for intraoperative real-time optimization, without waiting for printing time, easy for doctors to master, lower cost than 3DPNCT, and easy to carry out at the grass-roots level. Therefore, this study intends to explore 3DPCT technology to further clarify: (1) the accuracy of 3DPCT assisted CT guided RISI in the treatment of thoracic malignant tumors; (2) the short-term efficacy and toxicity of 3DPCT assisted CT guided RISI in the treatment of thoracic malignant tumors.
This pilot study is being conducted to treat patients who have a certain type of malignancy (lymphoid or myeloid) with immune effector cells after a T-cell depleted allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (TCD HSCT). This study is designed to see whether an investigational cellular product of immune cells obtained from a donor's cells that have been treated so that the type of cells that can lead to graft vs host disease have been removed can be safely administered. These cell products are administered following the initial stem cell transplant to assess the effect and improvement on minimal residual disease status, infectious complication, progression-free and overall survival.
SBRT (stereotactic radiotherapy) can provide a higher dose to the target area without increasing the risk of surrounding normal tissue / organ injury in selective cases. At present, SBRT has been widely used in radiotherapy of lung cancer and it can also play a better local control for lung metastasis. However, there are parallel organs and series organs in the chest, and different organs have different tolerance to radiotherapy, so the toxicities of SBRT in different sites are different, and the prescription dose is also different. This study intends to make a detailed division of the chest region and explore the safety and efficacy of SBRT in different areas. It is divided into four types: chest wall type: the lesion is directly adjacent or overlapped with the chest wall; peripheral type: the lesion is more than 1cm away from the chest wall and more than 2cm away from the bronchial tree; central type: the lesion is less than 2cm away from the bronchial tree; ultral-central type: the lesion is directly adjacent or overlapped with the mediastinal structure. 48-60Gy / 4-10f (EQD2 = 62.5Gy ~ 99.7Gy) was given according to the location of the tumor. Main outcome measures are local progression free survival and radiation toxicities; secondary outcome measure is overall survival.
