Filter by:The goal of this clinical research study is to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of direct administration of methotrexate into the fourth ventricle of the brain in patients with recurrent malignant brain tumors including medulloblastoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET), atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (AT/RT), and ependymoma. Methotrexate is designed to block cancer cells from dividing, which may slow or stop their growth and spread throughout the body. This may cause the cancer cells to die.
This study is a meta-epidemiological study which aim is to quantify the clinical benefit of the biomarker-based strategy compared to conventional strategy across all drugs with such a strategy.
This study is a clinical trial to determine the safety of injecting G207 (a new experimental virus therapy) into a recurrent or progressive brain tumor. The safety of combining G207 with a single low dose of radiation, designed to enhance virus replication and tumor cell killing, will also be tested.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of tirabrutinib (ONO/GS-4059) in combination with other targeted anti-cancer therapies and to evaluate the long-term safety of tirabrutinib as a monotherapy and in combination with other targeted anti-cancer therapies in adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoproliferative malignancies. This study consists of three parts: Dose Escalation, Dose Expansion, and Long-term Safety Monitoring. During the Dose Escalation phase, participants will be sequentially enrolled in a standard 3 + 3 dose escalation study design, to receive oral tirabrutinib combined with idelalisib entospletinib +/- obinutuzumab. The Dose Expansion Phase will enroll additional participants with a single B-cell lymphoproliferative malignancy disease type to further evaluate efficacy, safety, tolerability, PK, and pharmacodynamics. The Long-term Safety Monitoring phase will evaluate the long-term safety of tirabrutinib both as a monotherapy and in combination with other anti-cancer therapies. As of Amendment 9, all participants currently on the study who have no clinical evidence of disease progression will transition into long-term safety monitoring. Participants from the ongoing Study GS-US-401-1787 and participants who came off Study GS-US-401-1757 and Study GS-US-401-1787 but continued to receive treatment via named patient use (or individual expanded use) will be enrolled into the long-term safety monitoring group (Group VI). Participants enrolled in Group VI will continue the same treatment regimen in Study GS-US-401-1787 or named patient use (or individual expanded use). As of Protocol Amendment 8, the maximum treatment duration for any participant is an additional 6 years from the date of this amendment (ie. until November 2025). As of Amendment 9, entospletinib will be provided until 31 December 2020 to participants who are currently receiving entospletinib. Participants treated with entospletinib as part of a combination regimen with tirabrutinib will stop receiving entospletinib by 31 December 2020 but may continue to be treated with tirabrutinib monotherapy. Idelalisib will be provided as 50 mg tablets until 31 December 2020 and 100 mg tablets until study completion. Participants assigned to the 50 mg tablet will be given the option, at the investigator's discretion, to switch to 100 mg once daily idelalisib dose.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the long-term safety and tolerability of tirabrutinib in adults with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancy who have tolerated and achieved stable disease or improved with tirabrutinib treatment while enrolled in a prior (parent study) tirabrutinib study (NCT01659255). The dosing regimen will be based on the prior dosing regimen from the parent study.
This study aims to evaluate the impact of contact isolation on the rate of hospital-acquired transmissions of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) and the rate of colonization and infection. On the basis of this study, it will be possible to re-evaluate the need for contact isolation for patients colonized or infected with ESBL-EC.
The primary objective of this trial is to determine if perioperative risk stratification and risk-based, protocol-driven management leads to a reduction in the rate of death or serious complications compared to standard perioperative management in patients undergoing elective major cancer surgery.
Background When first diagnosed, colorectal cancer has already metastasized in about 20% of patients to the liver or further (termed synchronous disease). For patients with metastatic disease limited to the liver, major surgery to resect both the primary colorectal cancer and the liver metastasis provides 5-year survival rates of 25-40%. Conventional surgery removes the colorectal primary first, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, and then resection of the liver metastasis. Surgical advances make synchronous resection (removing both primary and liver metastasis together) and liver-first resection possible. Currently, there is no conclusive evidence to show which approach improves morbidity or survival, and therefore there is no optimum clinical pathway. Treatment is decided at multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings and is dependent on multiple factors: cancer staging, patient health and preferences, and clinical experience. Methods "Colorectal cancer with Synchronous liver-limited hepatic Metastasis: an Inception Cohort (CoSMIC)", will consent and recruit patients with a new diagnosis of synchronous colorectal cancer limited to the liver. Patients will be recruited at Manchester Royal Infirmary (a National Health Service (NHS) regional cancer-network approved Hepato-pancreato-biliary specialist centers over 2 years using standardized data collection. The sequence of treatment received by each patient, and factors influencing treatment decisions, will be recorded and evaluated against European Society of Medical Oncology guidelines. The effect of surgery on patient quality of life, morbidity, mortality and the long-term outcome will be measured and compared for different treatment sequences adjusted for prognostic factors. Anticipated Outputs and Value of Findings Direct comparison of conventional and new surgical sequences will be explored. Patient engagement, use of standardised recording, identifying common clinical patterns and decision making, and understanding sources of variation are essential steps to develop a definite randomized control trial to resolve the optimal clinical pathway.
Multicenter, open-label, exploratory, phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PM01183 in previously treated patients with advanced solid tumors
Baseline self-report outcome measures will be completed and additional assessments will occur mid-treatment , post-treatment , 3 months following completion of all sessions, and 6 months following completion of all sessions. Patients and therapists will complete the evaluation measures in private (at home, in an office). At the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center, BBI treatment is offered in group and individual formats. The course of individual treatment varies and group treatment consists of 10 1.5-hour weekly sessions in the "intensive" phase, followed by 2 1.5-hour bi-weekly maintenance sessions. Individual treatment is one-on-one. In group treatment, there are typically 6-12 patients per group and 1 or 2 therapists. The intervention helps patients to learn adaptive coping strategies and how to apply them to daily stressors.
