Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical value of the novel MRI-techniques DWI and gadofosveset-enhanced MRI for the management of rectal cancer patients.
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are present in the circulation of cancer patients, and are recruited to the stroma of both the primary tumor and metastasis. Recent preclinical research has shown that in response to platinum-based chemotherapy, MSCs secrete two specific platinum-induced fatty acids (PIFAs) which induce resistance to a broad spectrum of chemotherapies. The secreted PIFAs are the fatty acid oxo-heptadecatetraenoic acid (KHT) and the omega-3 fatty acid hexadecatetraenoic acid (16:4). These PIFAs are produced via the COX-1 pathway. COX inhibitors, including indomethacin. This phase 1 study explores the safety of combining indomethacin with platinum containing chemotherapy.
This trial studies how well magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works in detecting heart damage in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help doctors predict whether patients will have heart damage caused by chemotherapy in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy. Exercise Capacity Addendum Brief Summary: This study is designed to demonstrate feasibility of performing the physical activity intervention and the primary outcome measures before, during and six months after initiating Anth-bC for treatment of non- or Hodgkin lymphoma. This study will test the potential for a novel (lifestyle) intervention designed to improve exercise capacity, health-related quality of life and cardiac and cognitive dysfunction. This data will inform the development of the R33 phase of the clinical trial to determine if the physical activity intervention can reduce exercise intolerance in this high-risk population. In addition, cardiac MRI data from individuals within this pilot will be compared to cardiac MRI data from individuals in the parent study that did not undergo either of the two interventional arms of this study.
[F-18] Fluorothymidine PET imaging will be used to create a radiation therapy treatment plan to avoid active bone marrow in the pelvis. This will be done to evaluate if sparing bone marrow will help maintain blood counts. This would impact chemotherapy administration.
To assess the safety and tolerability and preliminary anti-tumor activity of lirilumab (BMS-986015) given in combination with nivolumab (BMS-936558) and to identify dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) and the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination. In addition, to assess the combinations of lirilumab and nivolumab or lirilumab and nivolumab plus ipilimumab (BMS-734016) in subjects with advanced (metastatic and/or unresectable) refractory solid tumors.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dabrafenib and pazopanib hydrochloride when given together in treating patients with advanced malignant tumors. Dabrafenib and pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth
This phase II trial studies the side effects of and how well sotatercept works in treating patients with myeloproliferative neoplasm-associated myelofibrosis or anemia. Sotatercept may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This is a pilot cohort study of women undergoing focal ablation for high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (HGCIN). The cohort was recruited from the UCSF Dysplasia Clinics. The standard treatment involves treatment of the entire cervix. Women with HGCIN meeting inclusion criteria were recruited for enrollment into the pilot study of focal treatment. Upon enrollment, they underwent focal ablational treatment rather than standard ablational treatment of the cervix. Follow-up visits were conducted at 2 weeks and 6 months to assess safety, feasibility, and acceptability. The 6-month recurrence rate of HGCIN will be calculated.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cabozantinib S-malate in treating younger patients with solid tumors that have come back or no longer respond to treatment. Cabozantinib S-malate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Over the last decades different life style factors have been established as risk factors for various diseases. The obesity pandemic displays a good example of a disease where great effort is undertaken to characterize risk factors associated with obesity (1). Smoking is another life style risk factor established since several decades, and where primary prevention has been increasingly successful (2, 3). Cardiovascular epidemiologic research at the University of Gothenburg recognized PA as a factor of importance early on and thus included PA related questions in the work up of studies with large cohorts (4-6). A 4-level scale was introduced in the late 1960:s by Saltin and Grimby (7) and has been used extensively since then. With this background it is of interest to record physical activity one year and one month prior to certain types of elective surgery and to study the relationship of PA to surgical complications and recovery is of interest. The aim of this study is to investigate whether a higher physical activity prior to a surgical procedure reduces hospital stay, sick leave and the complication rate. A secondary aim is to investigate the effect of preoperative physical activity on the rate of resumption of QoL and normal physical function.
