Filter by:The aim of the current study is to develop a near real-time system using infrared spectroscopy, that will evaluate the histological specimen that was removed from the uterine cavity during the hysteroscopy.
Patients with histologically confirmed esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma with pre-operative staging cT3-4N+M0，aged between 18-75 years old, with adequate organ function and having an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score ≤2, are randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with DT46-50Gy plus concomitant weekly oxaliplatin and 5-Fu, perioperative chemotherapy of FLOT regimen or FOLFOX regimen. The primary end point is disease free survival (DFS), and secondary end point is 5-year overall survival (OS), pathological complete remission (pCR) and treatment safety. The final study analytics are to be conducted at the end of the 5th year after the last patient's enrollment.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI) worldwide. Infection by certain high-risk oncogenic types of HPV (HR-HPV) is the major cause of several cancers in men, notably squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the anal canal. Rates of anal infection with these HR-HPV strains, and the resultant high-grade anal dysplasia and anal cancer are much higher in men who have sex with men (MSM) than in the general population. Co-infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) further amplifies this burden, making the rates of anal SCC in HIV-positive MSM higher than the historic rates of cervical cancer prior to the adoption of routine cervical cytology screening. Despite these alarming statistics, there are no established protocols for optimal screening and treatment of anal HPV and cancer precursors, nor has there been any widespread rollout of organized screening programs anywhere in Canada. Further, not only does HPV directly cause significant disease in these men, but there is growing epidemiologic evidence that HPV infection may enhance sexual transmission of HIV. These significant knowledge gaps translate into fundamental deficiencies in care for HIV-positive MSM. The HPV Screening and Vaccine Evaluation in MSM (HPV-SAVE) study team was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) via its Boys' and Men's Health Team Grant Competition. It aims to recruit a large group of MSM from various Ontario and Vancouver clinics, in order to carry out a number of different studies. The HPV-SAVE team brings together community and internationally-recognized experts in HPV and HIV disease and mucosal immunology, to better define the optimal approaches for primary and secondary prevention and treatment of HPV-associated anal disease among HIV-positive MSM, and to explore biological mechanistic evidence regarding the potential role of HPV as a co-factor for HIV transmission. This will yield critical information which can lead to improvement in the health of MSM, and will provide a foundation on which to build large-scale screening and treatment trials on a national level. A key part of this research program involves an analysis of the potential role played by the HPV vaccine in the overall management of HIV-positive MSM. Planned vaccine-related projects include: - A mixed-methods analysis of the knowledge, attitudes, and acceptability of HPV vaccination amongst HIV-positive MSM, through quantitative (e.g. cross-sectional survey) and qualitative (e.g. in-depth interviews) means. - A comprehensive assessment of the 9-valent HPV vaccine in HIV-positive MSM, including safety and immunogenicity, as well as its potential role in secondary prevention of high-grade anal dysplasia. This is the study on which the current proposal is based.
To evaluate the safety of GEN1042 in patients with malignant solid tumors
This study is a randomized, open-label, phase II study, comparing the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab plus aromatase inhibitors, with or without pyrotinib, in the treatment of HR (hormone receptor)+/HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) + MBC and inoperable LABC patients.
The aims of this study examine the immune system, muscle metabolism, and autonomic nervous system response to an acute bout of exercise. Cancer survivors will participate in an acute bout of exercise. Blood samples will be collected before the exercise bout and at two time points after the exercise bout to assess the proposed variables.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the maintenance treatment of Apatinib/Capecitabine after fluorouracil and platinum based first-line chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer.
The design of this prospective interventional study is to investigate the clinical significance of applying GnRHa preoperatively and postoperatively and detecting physical and endocrinic change in fertility preservation surgery
To establish therapeutic dendritic cell (DC) vaccines targeting HPV 16/18 E6/E7 protein to block the progression of CIN1/CIN2 to cervical cancer and evaluate the safety and efficacy of the vaccines.
This study evaluates the impact on disease relapse of presurgical 9-valent HPV vaccination versus placebo vaccination in women treated with LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) for CIN2+ (high grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) and initially invasive cervical cancer.
