Filter by:This trial studies how well virtual reality (VR) works in reducing pain and anxiety in cancer participants undergoing bone marrow biopsy or lumbar puncture. Virtual reality may impact pain and anxiety during and after the procedure.
To investigate the safety and efficacy of intraperitoneal infusion of EpCAM CAR-T cell in advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis by a prospective nonrandomized controlled trial.
RESEARCH PROJECT OBJECTIVES The aim of this planned study is to evaluate factors, with particular reference to surgical technique of abdominal closure, accumulation of advanced glycation end products, and collagen content in the transversalis fascia, that are associated with the development of incisional hernias after transverse epigastric incisions in patients operated due to malignant tumors. RESEARCH PROJECT METHODOLOGY: The study is designed as prospective and is planned to include 392 patients undergoing abdominal surgery due to malignant tumors of the alimentary system performed through transverse incisions in the epigastrium. Primary end-point of the study is defined as the occurrence of burst abdomen during immediate postoperative period or incisional hernia over 2 year postoperative follow-up. Assessment of the association between the type of surgical technique and development of hernia will be based on comparison of mass (1 layer) continuous suture and layered (2 layers) continuous suture using slowly absorbable material and applying suture to wound length ratio of more than 4. Type of the utilized surgical technique will be based on randomization. The method of abdominal closure will remain unknown for patients and investigators assessing the presence of incisional hernias. Assessment of overall collagen content and type I to type III ratio will be performed by obtaining a fragment of tissue during operation, preparation of formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded blocks, cutting of 4-micrometer thick sections, staining with picrosirius red and immunohistochemical procedures. Images will be analyzed with dedicated computer software. Accumulation of advanced glycation end products will be evaluated indirectly by measuring skin autofluorescence utilizing a method based on the use of photodiodes. Postoperative follow-up will include the period of postoperative hospitalization and two additional control visits at 1 and 2 years after the operation. Assessment of the presence of incisional hernia will comprise clinical examination, ultrasonographical study, and analysis of images from other available radiological studies. Irrespective of the primary end-point, additional analyses will be performed concerning associations between evaluated factors and occurrence of burst abdomen and the impact of incisional hernia on patients quality of life using the EORTC QLQ C-30 questionnaires. Statistical analyses will, among other, include Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, Cox proportional hazards regression and logistic regression
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 131I-MIBG in combination with Vorinostat in patients with Recurrent or Progressive neuroblastoma
This is a single center, single arm, open-label phase 1 study to determine the safety and efficacy of autologous T cells expressing CD19 chimeric antigen receptors in adults with CD19+ B cell malignancies.
This trial aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of ruxolitinib in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy for post-myeloproliferative neoplasm secondary acute myeloid leukemia.
A study to assess the effect of multiple doses of venetoclax on the pharmacokinetics of ethinyl estradiol and levonorgestrel in female participants with different hematological malignancies. Upon completion of this study, participants receiving clinical benefit in the opinion of the investigator and without any clinically significant evidence of disease progression with no access to venetoclax (not approved for the treated indication) may continue receiving venetoclax at the discretion of the investigator in a separate extension study.
This study evaluates the effects of a whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) training combined with individualized nutritional support on skeletal muscle mass, body composition, muscle strength/function, quality of life, fatigue, pain and gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with hematological malignancies 4-6 weeks before and 4-6 weeks after undergoing stem cell Transplantation. Within this context, this study also investigates the effect of the nutrition and exercise intervention on the period of hospitalization, period of White blood cell recovery and frequency and severity of complications (mucositis, Graft-versus-Host-Disease, infections) after stem cell Transplantation as consequences of the therapeutic immune Suppression.
Phase II clinical trial, monocentric, not controlled, in patients with high grade cervical intraepithelial lesions. A total of 62 patients with a diagnosis of CIN II, III or carcinoma in situ will be included. It is expected that with the combination of natural products Glizigen® and Ocoxin®-Viusid® at least 60% of patients with treated intraepithelial lesions (IEL) have a global response (complete or partial), with elimination of the human papillomavirus and the viral load.
This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose escalation study to determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of voruciclib monotherapy in subjects with relapsed/refractory B cell malignancies or AML after failure of standard therapies or voruciclib in combination with venetoclax in subjects with relapsed or refractory AML
