Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate how effective the study drug IPI-549 is against types of cancers. IPI-549 is considered experimental because it is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of cancer. Patients will be treated with 2 weeks of IPI-549, a specific PI3Kγ inhibitor. Tumor tissue for research purposes through core biopsies will be obtained prior to initiation of IPI-549 and at surgery.
XCELSIOR is a non-interventional data registry. Information about treatments, treatment decisions and rationale, and patient outcomes including safety and effectiveness of anti-cancer therapy and associated supportive care will be collected for analysis.
Magnetic anastomosis has been attempted in biliary and intestinal reconstruction. Based on our initial experience, the investigators have successfully utilized magnetic anastomosis for biliojejunostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy during pancreaticoduodenectomy. The current study was to design a prospective and case-control study with utilization of magnetic compression anastomosis for pancreaticojejunostomy and biliojejunostomy in Whipple's procedure versus traditional hand-sewn technique on the postoperative morbidity, such as biliary/pancreatic fistula, hemorrhage, anastomotic stenosis, etc. In addition, the investigators are seeking to assess the safety and formation of the anastomosis by magnetic technique.
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, drug levels, molecular effects, and clinical activity of MRTX849 (adagrasib) in patients with advanced solid tumors that have a KRAS G12C mutation.
This is a phase I, open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy in patients with BRAF V600 mutant advanced solid tumor by HL-085 plus Vemurafenib treatment.
This study aims to assess the efficacy of durvalumab in combination with radiochemotherapy (FOLFOX and IMRT) and then as maintenance therapy for treating patients with localised unresectable oesophageal cancer. This is a randomized, French national, multicentre, comparative phase II trial
This study is for patients who have lymphoma or leukemia that has come back or has not gone away after treatment. Because there is no standard treatment for this cancer, patients are being asked to volunteer for a gene transfer research study using special immune cells. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease, antibodies and immune cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from bacteria and other diseases. Immune cells, also called lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells including tumor cells. Both antibodies and lymphocytes have been used to treat patients with cancer. They have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. The antibody used in this study is called anti-CD19. This antibody sticks to lymphoma cells because of a substance on the outside of the cells called CD19. CD19 antibodies have been used to treat people with lymphoma and leukemia. For this study, the anti-CD19 antibody has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the NKT cells, a special type of lymphocytes that can kill tumor cells but not very effectively on their own. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. Investigators have also found that NKT cells work better if proteins are added that stimulate lymphocytes, such as one called CD28. Adding the CD28 makes the cells last for a longer time in the body but maybe not long enough for them to be able to kill the lymphoma cells. It is believed that by adding an extra stimulating protein, called IL-15, the cells will have an even better chance of killing the lymphoma cells. In this study the investigators are going to see if this is true by putting the anti-CD19 chimeric receptor with CD28 and the IL-15 into NKT cells grown from a healthy individual. These cells are called ANCHOR cells. These cells will be infused into patients that have lymphomas or leukemias that have CD19 on their surface. The ANCHOR cells are investigational products not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The purpose of this study is to find the biggest dose of ANCHOR cells that is safe, to see how long the ANCHOR cells last, to learn what their side effects are and to see whether this therapy might help people with lymphoma or leukemia.
Detection of somatic mutations in hematological malignancies is now routinely assessed by NGS sequencing. This powerful approach is nevertheless time consuming and its costs represent limitation for its availability. An original approach is now available, using mass spectrometry (MS). In this study the analytical performance of both methods will be compared, using samples that were previously analyzed by NGS. The goal of the study is to assess whether MS can represent or not a faster and cheaper way to detect key point mutations in patients suffering from hematological malignancies
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between objectively measured physical activity and provider-assessed and patient-reported functional outcomes in patients with advanced cancer. Findings from this study will help us better understand how change in daily physical activity, as measured using the wearable activity monitor, is related to change in a patient's functional status and clinical condition.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the benefit of the acupuncture as healing modalities in the therapy of acute toxicity of radiotherapy.
