Filter by:This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of anti-CTLA4-NF monoclonal antibody (mAb) (BMS986218), nivolumab, and stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with solid malignancies that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-CTLA4-NF mAb (BMS-986218) and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving -CTLA4-NF mAb (BMS986218), nivolumab, and stereotactic body radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
Observational data shows that "en bloc" resection of bladder tumor (EBR-BT) may entail advantages when compared with conventional transurethral bladder tumor resection (TURBT). EBR-BT has the potential to increase the rate of correct staging and accurate assignment of risk-classification in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and to avoid re-TURBT in a considerable number of high-grade NMIBC by demonstrating total macro and microscopic eradication of the primary tumor and to provide the basis for a correct treatment based on a correct stage. Following the rules of the IDEAL collaboration evaluation and stages of surgical innovation and considering EBR-BT as a surgical technical innovation, the investigators designed a multi-institutional, stage 2a/b study on feasibility (procedural success), safety (including pathology features), and short-term efficacy of EBR-BT and as proof of concept on the reliability of NMIBC staging. Main objective: to prospectively assess the pathological efficacy of EBR-BT in the staging of bladder cancer and the clinical efficacy at short-term recurrence-free survival. Secondary objectives: To assess the clinical efficacy at short-term (3-months) of EBR-BT, and to compare efficacy in the staging of the EBR-BT with the conventional TURBT.
To evaluate two competitive strategies in patients undergoing resection of Small-intestine Neuroendocrine neoplasms (Si-NEN): Prophylactic Cholecystectomy (PC) versus On-demand delayed cholecystectomy
Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (CART) Therapy in GUYC2C postive Digestive system tumors, include colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, adenocarcinoma of esophagus, cancer of the esophagogastric junction. Ict-gc is an open, single-center study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CAR-T-targeted therapy in patients with advanced gastrointestinal tumors.
The study aims to retrospectively investigate the endoscopic resection procedures of cancerous and precancerous lesions of the upper and lower digestive tract in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety outcomes and to compare different resection techniques. In particular, the resection techniques investigated will be mucosectomy, en bloc and piecemeal, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and its variants, full-thickness resection. The anatomical districts involved will be the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, colon and rectum.
A Phase I Study of Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion To Evaluate the SafetyćTolerabilityćPharmacokinetics and Preliminary Efficacy of Paclitaxel Micelles for Injection in Chinese Patients With Advanced Solid Tumor.
Any kind of anatomical lung resection for lung cancer with curative intent has to be accompanied by formal mediastinal lymph node dissection. Video-assisted mediastinoscopic lymphadenectomy through a cervical access (VAMLA) along with thoracoscopic lobectomies in the same setting offers improved radicality through bilateral mediastinal dissection, provide accurate staging, does not require single lung ventilation and hence ideally supports the concept of minimally invasive surgery. Due to the VAMLA associated radicality, the investigator believes that using of VAMLA along with lobectomy could improve the oncological outcome of lung cancer patients. Furthermore, the absence of single lung ventilation during VAMLA could attenuate the surgically induced immunosuppression.
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the safety and dosing of the study drug, magrolimab (Mag), in combination with anti-leukemia therapies in participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Patients with a new diagnosis of high-grade glioma based on MRI, who are considered surgical candidates determined by neurosurgeons or patients with recurrent glioblastoma with the initial diagnosis of glioblastoma (histologic or molecular proof) and recommended for clinically surgical resection may be eligible for this study. Subjects may participate in this study if they are at least 18 years of age. Ferumoxytol-enhanced MRI will be used to quantify tumor-associated macrophages. This is a non-therapeutic trial in that imaging will not be used to direct treatment decisions. The blood draw is being completed to evaluate cell-free circulating tumor DNA (cfDNA) and cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA).
This clinical trial evaluates the effect of expressive writing for the management of stress in cancer survivors. Cancer diagnosis and treatment are associated with increased stress in cancer survivors related to concerns about family, career, relationships, finances, side effects of treatment, and death. This stress can be further exacerbated by social upheavals such as the COVID-19 pandemic. For safety reasons, many patients are isolated with restricted access to in-person health care and reduced social interaction with family and friends. Together with the economic uncertainties that come with this pandemic, these factors are likely to increase cancer survivors' stress levels. Expressive writing may provide a medium through which cancer survivors confront stressors and find meaning in their experience. The goal of this trial is to learn more about the experiences of cancer survivors during stressful times.
