Filter by:This is a prospective study for the long-term follow-up (LTFU) of safety and efficacy for all pediatric and adult participants exposed to Gene-modified (GM) T cell therapy participating in a previous Celgene sponsored or Celgene alliance partner sponsored study. Participants who received at least one GM T cell infusion will be asked to enroll in this LTFU protocol upon either premature discontinuation from, or completion of the prior parent treatment protocol.
This project is dedicated to identify the patients with possible higher risk of adenoma recurrence who should have follow-up colonoscopy in yearly interval. As a result, it can lead to optimizing the of follow-up colonoscopies intervals in real-world practice.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the balanced fluids therapy change plasma osmolality in neurosurgical procedures due to brain tumors, meningeomas and arterio-venous malformation.
Background: Researchers want to learn more about head and neck disorders. Understanding these disorders could help them find better treatments. To do this, they are collecting tissue samples for research. Objective: To create a repository of tissue samples and data to better study conditions of the head and neck. Eligibility: People who had or will have tissue samples taken because of a head or neck disorder. They must be ages 3 and older and not pregnant to join Part 2. Design: Participants will be screened with a questionnaire, medical history, and physical exam. Part 1. Participants will give permission for any of their tissue samples leftover from private care or other research protocols to be used. If participants tissue did not contain normal tissue or if they have a condition that suggests a genetic issue, they will be invited to join Part 2. Part 2: Participants will have additional samples collected. These could be: - Blood: Blood is drawn through a needle in the arm. - Cheek swab or brushing: A cotton swab or small brush is rubbed inside the cheek. - Saliva: They rinse their mouth with water and spit into a tube or cup. - Skin biopsy: They are injected with a numbing drug. A biopsy tool removes a small piece of skin. - Mucosal biopsy: They are injected in the mouth with a numbing medication. A small piece of tissue from the inside of the cheek is removed. Participants samples will be used for future research, including genetic testing.
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab works in treating participants with cancer that has spread to other places in the body, has come back or has spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes. Monoclonal antibodies such as, pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
This study will test an investigational drug called AZD1390 in combination with radiation therapy for the treatment of brain tumors. This is the first time AZD1390 is being given to patients. This study will test safety, tolerability and PK (how the drug is absorbed, distributed and eliminated) of ascending doses of AZD1390 in combination with distinct regimens of radiation therapy
Patients with gastrointestinal cancer often experience physical deconditioning; this could lead to an increased risk of complications, especially when they require major abdominal surgical procedures. It has been suggested that physical training in the preoperative period could improve their condition, reducing the risk of complications. Although this topic has been investigated, it has not been established yet the best short preoperative aerobic exercise program to enhance the aerobic capacity in patients with gastrointestinal cancer who are going to be to surgical primary management, and consequently, to help patients dealing with the physiological stress involved in a surgical intervention. Main objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of a 4 weeks preoperative exercise program in patients with gastrointestinal cancer scheduled for primary surgery. Materials and methods: This is a Phase II single arm clinical trial that will include patients between 45 and 70 years, with confirmed gastrointestinal cancer (gastric, hepatic, colon or rectal cancer), without electrocardiographic abnormalities, and scheduled for primary surgery in 4 weeks or more since recruitment All the enrolled patients will receive a basal aerobic capacity assessment with the 6-minute walk test. Then, two physical therapist will prescribe them a supervised and individualized aerobic training program in 3 sessions per week during 4 weeks. Each session will last 50 minutes and will increase the heart rate target weekly (from 50% to 70% of the maximum heart rate). The aerobic exercise will be carried on a treadmill or in a stationary bicycle. The post intervention aerobic capacity will be measured at week 3 and 4 with the 6-minute walk test. The main efficacy outcome will be peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) and the safety outcomes will be exercise-related adverse events and the program adherence. This protocol was approved by the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología's Ethical Board
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cord blood-derived expanded allogeneic natural killer cells (donor natural killer [NK] cells) and how well they work when given together with cyclophosphamide and etoposide in treating children and young adults with solid tumors that have come back (relapsed) or that do not respond to treatment (refractory). NK cells, white blood cells important to the immune system, are donated/collected from cord blood collected at birth from healthy babies and grown in the lab. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving NK cells together with cyclophosphamide and etoposide may work better in treating children and young adults with solid tumors.
This phase III trial studies how well carvedilol works in preventing cardiac toxicity in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive breast cancer that has spread to other places in the body. A beta-blocker, such as carvedilol, is used to treat heart failure and high blood pressure, and it may prevent the heart from side effects of chemotherapy.
This is an open-label, dose-escalation/dose-expansion, phase I clinical trial study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of HWH340. In addition, the pharmacokinetic characteristics will also be investigated. Three parts are included in this study.
