Filter by:This is a multicenter, open label, first-in-human dose-escalation study of MEDI0680 (AMP-514) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, immunogenicity (IM), and antitumor activity in adult subjects with solid tumors.
This pilot trial studies propranolol hydrochloride in treating patients with locally recurrent or metastatic solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery. Propranolol hydrochloride may slow the growth of tumor cells by blocking the use of hormones by the tumor cells.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of hypofractionated stereotactic radiation treatments (SBRT) on children, teenagers and young adults malignant tumors.
A small proportion of patients with lung cancer present with a solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN). This is an important group of patients because if it is lung cancer, presentation as a SPN represents early disease, which following surgery has a high 5 year survival rate. However as not all SPNs are lung cancer it would be unethical to biopsy every case. Clinical guidelines recommend that SPNs should undergo an initial (FDG)-PET/CT scan, which may give more information about the SPN and may indicate if it is likely to be lung cancer. However in many cases it does not and current practice is to monitor the SPN with a series of CT scans over 2 years to look for changes or growth which may/ but not always indicate lung cancer. If no changes are observed over 2 years the SPN is considered not lung cancer. This is both expensive for the National Health Service (NHS) and worrying for the patient in terms of monitoring CT costs and delayed treatment due to length of time to diagnosis. This study examines the diagnostic capacity of using a different CT scan. Dynamic Contrast Enhanced -CT(DCE-CT). DCE-CT and FDG-PET/CT scans give different information about the SPN and the investigators will look to see if information from either scan or combined information from both scans may be better in the diagnosis of early stage lung cancer. The investigators will also undertake a review of previous studies that have used these scans and use data from both the review and the trial to look at the cost effectiveness of using DCE-CT in the diagnosis of SPN. The trial will recruit 375 people who have a SPN detected by a normal CT scan which requires a FDG-PET/CT scan. In addition they will receive a DCE-CT scan either on the same day or within three weeks of the FDG-PET/CT scan. This is the only extra procedure that will take place to normal NHS care, however we will collect clinical and outcome data over the next two years. The study is coordinated by Southampton University clinical trials unit. Recruitment between January 2013 - April 2016, from up to 14 UK sites. Data analysis and conclusions are expected by the end of 2018. The study is funded by the NIHR-HTA
The iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment of cancer. Centers with expertise in cancer epidemiology, genetics, biology, early detection, and patient care can collaborate by using the iCaRe2 as a platform for cohort and population studies.
The MERCURY Study demonstrated the accuracy, feasibility and reproducibility of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to stage rectal cancer in a prospective, multidisciplinary, multi-centre study. However, there were differences in patient outcome, dependent upon the position of the tumour in the rectum and its height above the anal verge. Whilst the outcome was excellent for patients who underwent an anterior resection, the outcome, based upon margin involvement and quality of the specimen, was poor for patients who underwent an abdomino-perineal excision for low rectal cancer. It is proposed that accurate MRI staging pre-operatively will allow the correct patients to receive neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT), and also pre-warn the surgeons if the resection margins appear threatened so that the operation can be modified to take this into account. The primary aims of the Low Rectal Cancer Study (MERCURY II) are to assess the rate of CRM positivity rate in low rectal cancer and to assess the difference in global quality of life at two years post surgery in patients according to plane of surgery with or without sphincter preservation.
Gastroenterologists often follow up second look endoscopy after endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD) of gastric neoplasms because they want to prevent bleeding of procedure sites. But Goto suggested in his retrospective analysis that a second-look endoscopy after endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric epithelial neoplasm may be unnecessary. So, the investigators try to identify the hypothesis prospectively in this study.
Patients with inoperable, locally advanced or recurrent and/or HER2-positive metastatic gastric or gastro-esophageal junction cancer, with no prior treatment for metastatic disease are to be recruited in the study. In the current study, the efficacy and safety of Trastuzumab in combination with Capecitabine/Docetaxel will be evaluated in Chinese patients with HER2 positive advanced or recurrent gastric cancer.60 patients could provide adequate precision rather than controlling type I&II error. Assuming the target PFS is 6.7m, 60 patients will give 90% CI of (5.5, 8.4). Considering the 5% drop out rate, 65 patients will be enrolled.
This open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation study will evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and therapeutic activity of RO6895882 in participants with Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA)-positive solid tumors who have progressed on the standard of care therapy. The study will be conducted in 3 parts. Part 1 will be a single ascending dose study in single participant cohort at low RO6895882 dose (less than or equal to [</=] 6 milligrams [mg]). Part 2 will be a dose-escalation study of RO6895882 monotherapy given every week (qw), every 2 weeks (q2w), and possibly every 3 weeks (q3w). Part 3 will be an expansion phase of the qw, q2w, and possibly q3w at maximum tolerated dose (MTD) (as determined in Part 2). Part 3 will only be conducted if the risk/benefit assessment, as evaluated by the Sponsor and the investigators, is in favor of the participants. Participants will be treated until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal from treatment for other reasons or death for a maximum duration of 24 months.
This study aimed to compare Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) against Lugol chromoendoscopy for diagnosis of early esophageal cancers among high risk patients.
