T-1101 is a novel anti-cancer agent being developed by Taivex Therapeutics Corporation, and is being studied in a phase I dose escalation trial, protocol TAI-001. That trial's primary aim is to study the safety and tolerability of T-1101 (Tosylate) in subjects with advanced refractory solid tumors, and provides for a maximum of 2 cycles of treatment. At the end of 2 cycles of treatment, it is likely that some patients will be continuing to receive clinical benefit from T-1101 (Tosylate). The intention of this program is to enable these patients to continue to receive T-1101 (Tosylate) at the discretion of the principal investigators and Taivex Therapeutics Corporation.
The purpose of the START project is to evaluate the acceptability, the safety and the cost-effectiveness of a population based program of active surveillance for patients newly diagnosed with a localized, low risk, prostate cancer.
This is a first-in-human, Phase I, multicenter, open label, dose escalation study to evaluate the DLTs and MTD and to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of CPX-POM administered IV in patients with any histologically- or cytologically-confirmed solid tumor type.
In preclinical studies, cyclic calorie-restricted diets reduce the risk of several cancers and improve the antitumor activity of standard treatments against already established malignancies.In particular, the fasting mimicking diet (FMD), a plant-based, calorie-restricted, low carbohydrate, low-protein diet to be repeated cyclically every 3-4 weeks, enhances the antitumor activity of cytotoxic chemotherapy, while contemporarily protecting healthy tissues and stimulating antitumor immunity. Most of these effects are likely mediated by the reduction of blood glycemia and growth factors, such as insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). When administered to healthy volunteers, cyclic FMD has been shown to be safe and capable of reducing risk factors for different chronic diseases. However, the effects of the FMD in cancer patient populations have not been evaluated so far. This study aims to assess the safety, feasibility and metabolic effects of the FMD in cancer patients treated with different standard antitumor therapies. Patients with any malignancy, with the exception of small cell neuroendocrine tumors, will be considered for enrollment in this study. The FMD will be administered up to a maximum of 8 consecutive cycles in combination with standard adjuvant treatments or therapies for advanced disease.
The purpose of this pilot study is to encourage oncology patients to continue effort retraining after their release from rehabilitation and recuperative care facilities with physical activity sessions and therapeutic education using an intelligent electric bicycle (VELIS)
This multicentre, prospective and randomized study aims(1:1) to compare the rate of recurrence, metastasis and survival according to the levels of intraoperative circulating tumor cells (CTCs) during cephalic duodenopancreatectomy in patients with pancreatic and periampullary tumors.
About 700 new cases of cancer are recorded each year among TYAC aged 15 to 25 years old in Rhône-Alpes region (France); more than 200 are treated and supported within the TYAC Department of the Institute of Hematology and Oncology Pediatrics (Centre Léon Bérard-Civil Hospice of Lyon). These patients survive from their disease in 80% of cases; they have six times more likely to develop a risk of second primary cancer (SCP) than their peers. This risk of SCP is multifactorial and varies depending on the type of first cancer, treatment received and the prevalence of risk factors (smoking, overweight, sedentary lifestyle, environmental exposures...). This project aims to implement a clinical program based on adapted physical activity (APA) and cancer prevention recommendations for TYAC during the active treatment period (4-6 months). The methodology used series of assessments of APA sessions and information meetings dedicated to cancer prevention and SCP risk recommendations. It mobilizes regularly the health care team of TYAC Department, TYAC associations, sports structures and associations involved in cancer prevention at the regional level. Assessment of TYAC satisfaction regarding the project, benefits in terms of exercise practice, and knowledge improvement on cancer prevention recommendations, are assessed throughout the program.
Gene and cell therapies have a real value potential (example: potential long-term effect, curative potential, and single administration) but also drawbacks (example: treatment perceived as complex and risky generating fear and anxiety in subjects and their family; high cost) that require significant educational efforts and planning for optimal market access. It is therefore important to understand subject and physician perceptions of T-Cell Receptor (TCR) therapies. The aim of this study is to collect qualitative data from a small but diverse sample of oncologists and subjects in the United States to gather qualitative evidence for a preliminary understanding about their perceptions of T-cell therapies in the treatment of cancer. This cross-sectional study will involve up to 20 adult subjects with cancer and up to 20 oncologists/hematologist-oncologists in the United States. Eligible subjects will be scheduled for a telephone interview lasting approximately 60-90 minutes. Eligible oncologists will be scheduled for a telephone interview lasting approximately 60 minutes. Searching social media is another way of understanding the perceptions of prescribers and consumers of CGT, in addition to interviews being conducted under the original protocol. The results of a feasibility assessment suggested that it would be helpful to explore social media to add to the findings from the interviews. This social media study(SMS) is being conducted as a pilot study to hone methods for future explorations of social media. The pilot study will investigate and describe initial themes emerging from existing discussions related to CGT. Findings from this work will help GlaxoSmithKline to plan future work in the social media landscape.
In Paris, France, home hospice care for terminally ill patients is organized by four "palliative care networks". These networks are responsible for information sharing and coordination of all health care professionals working with the patient. Two different systems are in place to ensure continuity of care outside working hours, in such a setting. In the first system, palliative care specialists from the network are reachable over the phone 24/7 by the patient or its caregivers, whenever needed. In the second system, medical information about the patient, regularly updated by the network's medical team, is available to professionals via a secure website, so that in case the patient requires an urgent medical home visit outside working hours, the visiting physician has access to accurate information. The study's goal is to compare patient's and caregiver's satisfaction between these two systems of continuity of care. For that purpose, patients will be taken care of as usual by every palliative care network. In every instance where the patient or caregivers have reached out for medical help through the network's continuity of care system, the patient or caregiver will be called 5 days later by the investigation team to go through a satisfaction questionnaire (Likert scales)
