Filter by:This study aims to assess the efficacy of durvalumab in combination with radiochemotherapy (FOLFOX and IMRT) and then as maintenance therapy for treating patients with localised unresectable oesophageal cancer. This is a randomized, French national, multicentre, comparative phase II trial
Observation of the clinical use of the Emprint Microwave Ablation System for the ablation of Liver Metastases of Colorectal Adenocarcinoma.
The study uses a mixed method study to evaluate wether the use of the indicators of the Quality of end-of-life cancer care, developed by Earle et al [Earle JCO 2003; DOI: 10.1200/JCO.2003.03.059] would be relevant and measurable in France. The qualitative part of study was designed to investigate the representations of quality by face-to face interviews with family carer of recently deceased cancer patients, and with their oncologists, and nurses. The quantitative part of the study, consisted in a decedents case series analysis, diagnosed with advanced cancer and followed up in 5 centers. Data on trajectory of care were collected from different complementary sources associating national mortality data, hospital activity data, and health records. The study was approved by the French data protection authority (CNIL) number 611273.
The main purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of SHR-1701 at different dose levels. Study consists of dose-escalation part and an expansion part in subjects with metastatic or locally advanced solid tumors.
This study is for patients who have lymphoma or leukemia that has come back or has not gone away after treatment. Because there is no standard treatment for this cancer, patients are being asked to volunteer for a gene transfer research study using special immune cells. The body has different ways of fighting infection and disease. No single way seems perfect for fighting cancers. This research study combines two different ways of fighting disease, antibodies and immune cells. Antibodies are types of proteins that protect the body from bacteria and other diseases. Immune cells, also called lymphocytes, are special infection-fighting blood cells that can kill other cells including tumor cells. Both antibodies and lymphocytes have been used to treat patients with cancer. They have shown promise, but have not been strong enough to cure most patients. The antibody used in this study is called anti-CD19. This antibody sticks to lymphoma cells because of a substance on the outside of the cells called CD19. CD19 antibodies have been used to treat people with lymphoma and leukemia. For this study, the anti-CD19 antibody has been changed so that instead of floating free in the blood it is now joined to the NKT cells, a special type of lymphocytes that can kill tumor cells but not very effectively on their own. When an antibody is joined to a T cell in this way it is called a chimeric receptor. Investigators have also found that NKT cells work better if proteins are added that stimulate lymphocytes, such as one called CD28. Adding the CD28 makes the cells last for a longer time in the body but maybe not long enough for them to be able to kill the lymphoma cells. It is believed that by adding an extra stimulating protein, called IL-15, the cells will have an even better chance of killing the lymphoma cells. In this study the investigators are going to see if this is true by putting the anti-CD19 chimeric receptor with CD28 and the IL-15 into NKT cells grown from a healthy individual. These cells are called ANCHOR cells. These cells will be infused into patients that have lymphomas or leukemias that have CD19 on their surface. The ANCHOR cells are investigational products not approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The purpose of this study is to find the biggest dose of ANCHOR cells that is safe, to see how long the ANCHOR cells last, to learn what their side effects are and to see whether this therapy might help people with lymphoma or leukemia.
Detection of somatic mutations in hematological malignancies is now routinely assessed by NGS sequencing. This powerful approach is nevertheless time consuming and its costs represent limitation for its availability. An original approach is now available, using mass spectrometry (MS). In this study the analytical performance of both methods will be compared, using samples that were previously analyzed by NGS. The goal of the study is to assess whether MS can represent or not a faster and cheaper way to detect key point mutations in patients suffering from hematological malignancies
This is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase 1B/2 study to assess the safety and efficacy of tabelecleucel in combination with pembrolizumab for the treatment of subjects with platinum-pretreated, recurrent/metastatic Epstein-Barr Virus-associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (EBV+ NPC).
This is an open-label, dose escalation, Phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy in patients with advanced malignancies.
Palliative Care focuses on symptom management and quality of life and helps patients with life-limiting illness match goals and preferences for care. While there has been interest in and acknowledgement that palliative care is an important part of training patient navigators, there have been no previous studies examining the effectiveness of a navigation intervention to improve palliative care for patients. This study will examine the feasibility to implement patient navigator and psychosocial interventions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and early clinical activity of INCB086550 in participants with advanced solid tumors who have failed prior treatments.
