Filter by:This phase II trial studies the effect of lutetium Lu 177 dotatate compared to the usual treatment (everolimus) in treating patients with somatostatin receptor positive bronchial neuroendocrine tumors that have spread to other places in the body (advanced). Radioactive drugs, such as lutetium Lu 177 dotatate, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and may reduce harm to normal cells. Lutetium Lu 177 dotatate may be more effective than everolimus in shrinking or stabilizing advanced bronchial neuroendocrine tumors.
The demand for mental health problems, particularly depression and anxiety, is three times greater in Oncology and Palliative Care Centres than in the general population. There are unique factors in this population that make them more susceptible to mental health challenges. The disease itself, the adjustment to a chronic/fatal diagnosis, and the treatment options can all perpetuate the development of mental illness. Despite the well-established association, there have been barriers to access suitable treatment for these patients. Online Psychotherapy is an effective treatment option that may address many of these barriers. This modality has been proven effective in addressing depression and anxiety in other populations. To date, there has been no psychotherapy module developed specifically for oncology and palliative care patients to our knowledge. The aim is to establish the first academic e-psychotherapy treatment option to address mood and anxiety disorders in oncology and palliative care patients. The investigators will use the Online Psychotherapy Tool (OPTT), a secure cloud-based platform for online delivery of e-CBT, developed by the PI. The proposed study aims to establish the feasibility and effectiveness of delivering online psychotherapy to oncology and palliative care patients who have a comorbid depressive or anxiety disorder. The patients will be enrolled in an 8-week program with a combination of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness techniques delivered via a series of modules. They will receive individualized feedback from a trained therapist weekly. It is hypothesized that delivering this psychotherapeutic intervention in this manner will have great adherence. The aim is to prove that it will improve the quality of life and decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety in this underserved patient population.
This is a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort registry in subjects receiving myelosuppressive chemotherapy for a non-myeloid malignancy who are considered to be at high risk for developing febrile neutropenia (FN).
Clinical study on the safety and effectiveness of NK cells/combined monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of hematological malignancies
This phase I trial investigates the side effects of brain tumor-specific immune cells (IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells) in treating patients with leptomeningeal disease from glioblastoma, ependymoma, or medulloblastoma. Immune cells are part of the immune system and help the body fight infections and other diseases. Immune cells can be engineered to destroy brain tumor cells in the laboratory. IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells is brain tumor specific and can enter and express its genes in immune cells. Giving IL13Ralpha2-CAR T cells may better recognize and destroy brain tumor cells in patients with leptomeningeal disease from glioblastoma, ependymoma or medulloblastoma.
Phase 1, first-in-human, open label study of CAR macrophages in HER2 overexpressing solid tumors.
Parts 1 and 2 The primary purpose of this study is to understand the safety of NL-201 when given intravenously as monotherapy in patients with advanced cancer to evaluate tolerability and to identify a recommended dose and schedule for further testing. In Part 1, there will be backfill cohorts at certain Data Monitoring Committee (DMC)-cleared dose levels and schedules to collect pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) and response data in certain tumor types or to explore additional pre-medication regimens. Parts 3 and 4 The primary purpose of this study is to understand the safety of NL-201 in combination with pembrolizumab when both drugs are given intravenously in patients with advanced cancer, to evaluate tolerability, and to identify a recommended dose and schedule for further testing.
The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Survey on Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in Oncology Registry (ASCO Registry) aims to help the cancer community learn more about the patterns of symptoms and severity of COVID-19 among patients with cancer, as well as how COVID-19 is impacting the delivery of cancer care and patient outcomes. The ASCO Registry collects both baseline and follow-up data on how the virus impacts cancer care and cancer patient outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ION537 when administered by intravenous infusion in patients with advanced solid tumors.
