Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 3 Tesla in assessing disease in patients with tumors that have spread to the brain (brain metastases). In addition to routine care brain imaging of the brain, this study will include advanced multiparametric MRI sequences to measure vascular, cellular, and molecular properties of the tumor. Performing extra scans during MRI provides more information about the metastases and may better predict treatment response.
Evaluation of post-operative respiratory complications after thoracic surgery for pulmonary resection in patients with COPD Introduction: Postoperative pulmonary complications following pulmonary resection occur in 12-40% of cases. Some risk factors such as COPD are well identified. It has been shown that COPD patients with a history of frequent exacerbations are more likely to develop exacerbations. No study has evaluated the rate of patients called 'frequent exacerbators' among COPD patients requiring pulmonary resection and the relations between exacerbations history and incidence of acute respiratory postoperative complications. The main objective is to determine the frequency of pulmonary postoperative complications (atelectasis, acute respiratory failure, pneumonia) following lung resection in COPD patients. The secondary objectives are to determine the frequency of extra pulmonary postoperative complications and the prevalence of the 'frequent exacerbator' phenotype in this population, as well as its relation with the risk of post-operative complications. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective, observational, single-center study, of patients with COPD hospitalized for elective thoracic surgery in the center of Thoracic Surgery, Hôpital Cochin. The inclusion criteria are: male or female aged more than 40 years, permanent airflow obstruction as defined by an FEV/FVC ratio < 70% after bronchodilator. Collected data will be: COPD symptoms (dyspnea score, exacerbations) by a questionnaire given to the patient during the anesthesia consultation, COPD severity scores, comorbidities, per operative data, postoperative complications, hospitalization and intra-hospital mortality. Perspectives: This work will provide information on the risk of postoperative complications in patients with COPD and the influence of the 'frequent exacerbator' phenotype. This will help adapting preventive care to the COPD subtype .
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multi-center, non-randomized, dose-escalation study to be conducted in two parts: the Dose Escalation Phase and the Dose Expansion Phase. The Dose Escalation Phase will determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D) of PT-112 Injection and evaluate its safety and tolerability, and PK (pharmacokinetics). The Dose Escalation Phase is complete and no longer enrolling. The Dose Expansion Phase has two cohorts: one cohort for the study of PT-112 in patients with thymoma and thymic carcinoma (Cohort A), and one cohort for the study of PT-112 in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) (Cohort D).
This study is designed to help the investigators understand more about how people plan for their future medical needs, a process known as "advance care planning." The study is under the direction of Michael J. Green, M.D., and Benjamin Levi, M.D. physicians at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. Participation in the project takes place during a single visit to the Medical Center campus. During this one-to-three hour visit, participants complete several questionnaires and use a computer program that produces a printed advance directive that can be shared with their physicians and loved ones. Participants will receive compensation toward travel expenses.
The main purpose of this study is to learn more about how the investigational drug, LY3022855, affects the immune system in participants with advanced breast or prostate cancer that has not responded to other treatments. Treatment may last up to 6 cycles (cycle = 6 weeks).
This was a study of INCB052793 given to patients with advanced malignancies that was to be conducted in three phases; Phase 1a (Monotherapy) and Phase 1b (Combination Therapy) and Phase 2 (Combination therapy of INCB052793 with azacitidine and itacitinib with azacitidine). Phase 1 had two parts; a dose escalation (Part 1) and an expansion (Part 2).
The purpose of this first-in-human study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of ODM-203 in subjects with advanced solid tumours and to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose limiting toxicities.
This phase II trial studies how well icotinib works in treating patients with completely resected stage IB NSCLC harboring EGFR mutation.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the performance of the Medrobotics Flex® Robotic System to visualize and access specific anatomical locations along with evaluation of the safety of the device.
The objective of this study is to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacology and efficacy of ONO-4538 administered to Korean patients with advanced or recurrent solid tumors who are refractory or intolerant to standard therapy or for whom no appropriate treatment is available.
