Filter by:An exploratory open label study to improve the function and welfare of late-stage solid cancer subjects (with or without lung involvement) who failed or refused anti-cancer treatment by ACC treatment, administered orally and concomitantly by inhalation. The following measures will be evaluated: improvement of pain, performance status, dyspnea measurement (Modified Borg Scale)/ oxygen saturation (if applicable) and overall survival. The subjects' medical charts will be reviewed for their eligibility including the following: medical history, prior cancer treatments, pathologic diagnosis of cancer, and CT/Chest X-ray results. Assessment of prior and concurrent medication use, physician evaluation of patient status, and measurement of Albumin Corrected Serum Calcium level (to be done at baseline and prior to dose escalation, so that results are available prior to the visit) will be performed prior to each dose escalation; in addition, vital signs, ECOG/Karnofsky performance status and VAS pain assessments will be recorded at each visit as well. CT test will be executed during the study period: at baseline, week 12 and week 24 visits in order to assess progression free survival by CT. The tests during the visits will be performed by a physician/nurse. Each subject will receive individual doses of AMOR-powder by escalating doses up to 1,800 mg of ACC powder per day (Amor powder administration will be continuous along the day - each eppendorf every two hours). Patients who will not be able to swallow the powder, will receive similar doses of ACC in tablets. In addition, subject will inhale 1% ACC in 8 ml suspension, for inhalation three times a day. Subject's functionality will be assessed by serially determining ECOG/Karnofsky performance status. Subject's progression free survival will be assessed by CT to evaluate tumor response to treatment.
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and timing of panitumumab-IRDye800 in detecting cancer in participants with lung cancer during the surgery. Panitumumab-IRDye800 is a combination of the antibody drug panitumumab and IRDye800CW, an investigational dye that can be seen using a special camera. Panitumumab-IRDye800 may attach to tumor cells and make them more visible during surgery in patients with lung cancer.
Acute colon cancer surgery has a poor 90-day mortality of 21.0% compared with only 3% after elective colorectal cancer surgery in Denmark. The high mortality after acute colon cancer surgery compared with elective surgery emphasizes the importance of identifying factors associated with acute onset and poor short-term survival after acute surgery. Socioeconomic position has previously showed to be a risk factor for acute versus elective onset of colorectal cancer. Furthermore, if patients with low socioeconomic position have higher postoperative mortality this could reflect differences in the treatment of patients according to their socioeconomic position. The aim of the clinical study is: 1. To examine if patients with short education, low income, living alone, or living in rural areas are more likely to undergo acute colorectal cancer surgery than elective surgery compared with patients with longer educations, higher income, living with a partner, or living in urban areas. 2. To examine if there is an association between education, income, cohabitation, or urbanicity and 1-year mortality after acute colorectal cancer surgery.
This early phase I trial studies how well levorphanol works as a second line opioid in reducing pain in patients with cancer that may have spread to other places in the body. Levorphanol may work better in controlling cancer pain.
This randomized phase III trial studies how well olanzapine with or without fosaprepitant work in preventing chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy that causes vomiting. Olanzapine and fosaprepitant dimeglumine may help control nausea and vomiting in patients during chemotherapy. Olanzapine is usually given in combination with other drugs, including fosaprepitant dimeglumine. It is not yet known if olanzapine when given with other drugs, is still effective without using fosaprepitant dimeglumine for controlling nausea and vomiting.
HLX07 is a new anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (mAb) with improved glycosylation pattern.In pre-clinical efficacy studies, HLX-07 is either equivalent or more potent than cetuximab in multiple cancer models without increased toxicities.This study is an open-labeled, dose-escalation study designed to explore the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and safety of HLX07 in combination with different chemotherapy regimens.
This trial studies how well standard and delayed fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) given after standard radiation and chemotherapy works in assessing patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/CT, use radioactive material, such as fludeoxyglucose F-18, to find and diagnose head and neck tumors and may help to find out how far the disease has spread.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of combining autologous Tcm immunotherapy and TACE in HCC patients with MVI after radical resection. Patients will be assigned either to the experimental arm to receive autologous Tcm immunotherapy and TACE or to the active comparator (TACE alone).
Neoadjuvant therapy has been widely applied to locally advanced rectal cancer. However, about 50% of patients receiving this therapy do not respond well as evidenced by the fact that their T or N stages are not effectively decreased judged by postoperative pathological examination. The purpose of this trail is to identify the biomarkers (from within patients' tumor mass before neoadjuvant therapy) to predict resistance to neoadjuvant therapy. These biomarkers can help stratify neoadjuvant-resistant patients towards surgery while avoiding unnecessary chemoradio-based neoadjuvant therapy.
The purpose of this study is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of OBI-888 as monotherapy. And to characterize the safety and preliminary clinical activity profile of the MTD dose of OBI-888 administered as monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
