Filter by:This project will compare two MRI contrast agents in metastatic brain tumours in humans. More specifically, the investigators will compare the tumour contrast obtained using glucose versus the current standard gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA, gadobutrol, trade name Gadovist, will be used). First, participants will receive a glucose bolus injection followed by glucose enhanced MRI. Second, participants will receive a Gd-DTPA bolus injection followed by Gd-DTPA enhanced MRI. Both contrast studies will be performed during the same MRI study, which will be under one hour long.
This study is evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of BGB-3111 in combination with BGB-A317 in participants with B-cell lymphoid malignancies.
CD19 expression on B cell frequently lost after CD19-targeting CAR-T therapy. In present study, we construct a CD22-targeting chimeric antigen receptor to overcome this issue.
Surgical removal of a tumour in the lung offers the best chance for survival in early stage lung cancers. One main criteria of surgical eligibility is the absence of cancer spread to the lymph nodes; rendering the staging process extremely important. The evaluation of these lymph nodes is thought to be best completed using Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS), a procedure in which several lymph nodes are sampled and send to pathology to determine whether or not it is malignant. More recently, studies have observed that there are clear differences in the characteristics of cancerous and benign (non-cancerous) lymph nodes, and so there has been great interest in creating a list of criteria that can determine whether a node is malignant. This study aims to prospectively validate a previously proposed score based on observed characteristics of lymph nodes during an EBUS procedure relating to pathology-confirmed results. To test this, the results of the lymph node samples and the observed score will be compared for agreement. If the investigators find that the scoring system can accurately predict which lymph nodes are cancerous, it would provide the evidence to establish the score as a standard procedure during cancer staging.
This clinical trial is the first clinical trial to study Durvalumab, a checkpoint inhibitor which stimulates the patient's own immune system to act against cancer cells in children and adolescents. This trial will assess the safety and tolerability of Durvalumab in children and adolescents and also study how Durvalumab is processed in their bodies.
This pilot trial studies a structured exercise program intervention in improving physical activity in older patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing cancer therapy. Patients with hematologic malignancies are at an increased risk of functional dependence and injury. Structured exercise programs, such as the Otago exercise programme (OEP), may improve balance, strength, and prevent fall-related injury in older patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing cancer therapy.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) checkpoint antibody LY3300054 in participants with advanced refractory solid tumors.
This project aims to establish a network of spine oncology centers dedicated to prospective multicenter research of patients diagnosed with a primary tumor of the spine and will include a comprehensive prospective clinical database which will serve as a shared research platform. Demographic, clinical, diagnostic, and therapeutic variables will be used to answer questions about survival and local recurrence, as well as questions about adverse events (AEs), morbidity data, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnosis accuracy of modified wet suction technique and 5ml dry suction technique on solid occupying lesions.
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, open-label phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of PO→EC as neoadjuvant treatment of operable and locally advanced breast cancer in patients with HR deficiency. Patients will be randomized to receive - paclitaxel 80 mg/m² iv weekly in combination with olaparib tablets 100 mg (4X25mg) twice daily for 12 weeks (65 patients) or - paclitaxel 80 mg/m² iv weekly in combination with carboplatin AUC 2 iv weekly for 12 weeks (37 patients) both followed by 4 cycles of epirubicin 90 mg/m² and cyclophosphamide 600 mg/m² (EC) either every 3 or every 2 weeks followed by surgery. The control arm was chosen to allow direct comparison with one of the currently considered standard of care regimen.
