Filter by:Gastroparesis is a digestive disorder in which motility of the stomach is either slowed or absent. The gastroparesis prevents normal digestion from occurring. The purpose of this study is to provide oral Domperidone offered under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded access program, to patients that, based on the treating doctor's assessment, could benefit from , a prokinetic effect for the relief of refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease with upper gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, gastroparesis, and chronic constipation.
The study is based on a multi-center approach of needle based confocal laser endomicroscopy (nCLE) combined with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) to evaluate pancreatic cystic lesions (PCL), in order to obtain a correct histopathological diagnosis.After detection of PCL, certain morphological EUS features allow the discrimination of specific cyst types. Additionally, EUS-FNA is recommended as the first-line procedure whenever pathological diagnosis is required; however the procedure has its drawbacks, mainly represented by the relatively low negative predictive value in diagnosing pancreatic cancer. In this case a more precisely diagnostic tool is required; the potential role of CLE has been explored in gastrointestinal (GI) pathology showing good accuracy for predicting the final histopathological diagnosis based on immediate evaluation of tissue and vascular patterns. Although the clinical impact of nCLE for the decision making algorithms in cystic pancreatic neoplasm has not yet been described, the hypothesis is that EUS-nCLE could allow targeted tissue sampling of cystic pancreatic neoplasms resulting in more accurate diagnosis. The aim of the study is to describe the clinical impact of nCLE for the clinical decision management algorithm based on EUS, EUS-FNA and/or EUS-CLE imaging criteria for cystic pancreatic neoplasms, while evaluating also the feasibility and safety of nCLE examination.
A new mobile diagnostic and treatment unit is being developed by BCH to address the loss-to follow-up associated with the mobile screening program and demonstrate POC diagnosis by HRME. The mobile diagnostic and treatment unit will be equipped with the tools and infrastructure necessary to perform HRME, VIA, colposcopy, biopsy and treatment with cryotherapy. A team of a colposcopist, nurse, nursing assistant, and driver will staff the mobile diagnostic and treatment unit. The unit will travel to offer follow-up diagnostic and treatment services to women who have screened positive during a prior visit with the mobile screening unit. The mobile diagnostic and treatment unit will be constructed and maintained at BCH.
Rollover study supporting hematological disorder indications from Celgene sponsored CC-486 (oral azacitidine) protocols eligible for participation in the study.
This study describes the survival outcomes of advanced stage breast, colorectal, ovarian and pancreatic cancer patients receiving advanced integrative oncology (AIO) treatment at participating North American integrative oncology clinics. This study also aims to describe the integrative treatments recommended by naturopathic doctors (NDs) for these participants alongside their conventional care treatments. Sub-studies will evaluate health-related quality of life, cost of cancer care, and qualitative experience of care in a subset of Canadian participants.
This is an open-label, multicenter, non-randomized, dose escalation and tumor-expansion phase I trial to evaluate safety and tolerability of INCSHR01210 in patients with advanced solid tumors. The trial will enroll subjects with advanced solid tumor who have failed current standard anti-tumor therapies.
The purpose of this Phase I, multicenter study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical activity of AG-881 in advanced hematologic malignancies that harbor an IDH1 and/or IDH2 mutation
This randomized phase II trial studies how well physical activity and dexamethasone work in reducing cancer-related fatigue in patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced). Dexamethasone is approved for the treatment of tiredness, pain, and nausea. Physical activity may help improve cancer-related fatigue by improvement in symptoms, distress, and overall well-being. It is not yet known whether high dose or low dose dexamethasone combined with physical activity works better in reducing fatigue in patients with advanced cancer.
Patients with previous malignancies have increasingly been accepted for renal transplantation. However, post-transplant malignancy risk and survival rates of these patients are unknown. Our aim was to assess if previous malignancies pose an unnecessarily high risk of post-transplant malignant tumours and if the organs as a resource are too limited for investment in this patient group.
First in human, open-label, sequential dose escalation and expansion study of oral BAL101553 in adult patients with advanced solid tumors and adult patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma or high-grade glioma.
