Filter by:Patients with advanced cancers who have pleural effusion, especially those requiring pleural evacuation, experienced poorer survival when treated with immunotherapy. The pleura also acts as a natural barrier that can limit the penetration of immune checkpoint inhibitors. In this multicenter phase 2 study, the preliminary efficacy and toxicity of intrapleural instillation of the nivolumab in patients with immune-sensitive metastatic cancers will be accessed.
Locally advanced rectal carcinoma raise the issue of both the oncological control, local and general, and the therapeutic morbidity. Surgery alone can cure only one out of two patients, radiochemotherapy improves the local control but the metastatic risk remains about 30% with enhanced postoperative morbidity and poor functional results. The tumor response to preoperative treatment is the major prognostic factor which revealed the aggressiveness of the tumor. To this day, there are no biologic predictive markers for tumor response. The purpose of this trial is to tailor the management according to the early tumoral response after short and intensive induction chemotherapy. MRI volumetric tumor response will be used to distinguish between good responders and bad responders. "Very good" responders will be randomized to either immediate surgery or radiochemotherapy followed by surgery (Standard arm: Cap 50).
Introduction: Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) comprise neoplasms with a wide range of benign and malignant varieties. The most common include serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs), mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), and solid pseudo-papillary neoplasms (SPPNs). Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) are used to diagnose different PCNs types. The cyst fluid aspiration and analysis is performed in difficult differential diagnosis. Frequently, amylase and CEA levels are measured. The choice of surgery depends on cyst location and size and includes pancreatico-duodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes after pancreatic surgery when adopted as the management of true exocrine epithelial cystic neoplasms.
The primary objectives of this study are to characterize the safety and tolerability of GS-3583 as monotherapy, and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of GS-3583 as monotherapy in participants with advanced solid tumors.
Relapsed and refractory B cell malignancies show unfavorable prognosis, especially for adult patients. Now, there is no standard management for these patients. Induced-T cell-like NK cells with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-ITNK cells) is a promising treatment option for treating B cell derived malignancy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAR-ITNK cells infusions in patients with relapsed and refractory B cell malignancies.
The goal of the HARMONIC-RT study is to evaluate late health and social outcomes of contemporary techniques of external beam radiotherapy in paediatric patients, based on the setting-up of a European, long-term registry complemented by a biobank.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and to determine the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of HH30134 administered orally on a continuous once daily (QD) schedule in adults patients with advanced solid tumors.
This trial studies the effect of pegloticase in reducing uric acid levels in patients with hyperuricemia (high blood levels of uric acid) caused by tumor lysis syndrome. Tumor lysis syndrome occurs when the breakdown products of cancer cells, such as uric acid, enter the blood stream. High levels of uric acid in blood may cause kidney damage and reduce kidney function. The goal of this trial is to learn if pegloticase may lower uric acid levels in blood when given to cancer patients with hyperuricemia caused by tumor lysis syndrome.
Myeloproliferative Neoplasm (MPN) is a chronic blood cancer without cure. The major clinical issues in MPN are 1) an increased risk of blood clots 2) symptoms thought to be driven by chronic inflammation which in some cases can be debilitating and 3) progression to acute leukemia. The current management of MPN focuses on preventing blood clots and relieving symptoms. However, treatments that reduce symptoms such as JAK inhibitors are limited to late stage MPN patients and have significant side effects including immunosuppression, reduction in platelets, and increased risk of skin cancer. Therefore, low risk interventions are sorely needed for MPN patients that can reduce symptoms. Diet represents a low risk way to reduce inflammation, specifically a Mediterranean diet has been found to reduce inflammation in cardiovascular disease. There has been a recently completed clinical trial that demonstrated MPN patients can adopt a Mediterranean diet if given dietician counseling and curriculum. However, in order to reach a larger group of people a fully remotely administered study is necessary. This is a feasibility study to determine.
Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has prolonged the survival substantially for selected patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer.Bleeding and thromboembolic disease have been reported as postoperative complications related to this advanced open surgical treatment. However, perioperative changes in coagulation and fibrinolysis are only sparsely reported in the literature.The mainstay of treatment with curative intend of none-advanced colorectal cancer is minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. The approach is considered associated with a lower risk of thromboembolic disease than open surgery. Despite differences in extent of surgery and thromboembolic risk the same extended thromboprophylaxis regimen for 28 days is currently prescribed to patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC as well as minimally invasive rectal cancer resection. This study aims to investigate all parts of the coagulation system and fibrinolysis, and thereby thromboembolic risk and potential bleeding in two groups of patients with different extent of surgical trauma: 1) Colorectal cancer patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC and 2) rectal cancer patients undergoing minimal invasive rectal cancer resection. Our hypothesis is that patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC are exposed to more aggravated alterations of coagulation and fibrinolysis than patients undergoing minimally invasive rectal cancer resection.
