Filter by:The study is primarily designed to assess the safety and tolerability of escalating oral doses of Debio 1143 and preliminary anti-tumour activity when combined with the standard dose of avelumab in participants with advanced solid malignancies.
5764 men and women in Iceland, aged 66 to 96 years entered the Ages Gene/Environment Susceptibility (AGES) - Reykjavik Study. Serum 25(OH)D was measured in 5,519 of all 5,764 (96%) participants at study entry in year 2002 through 2006. The main emphasis was on exploring whether pre-diagnostic serum levels of 25(OH)D were associated with survival after cancer diagnosis.
Using the population-based data sources in Iceland and the well-characterized AGES-Reykjavik cohort, our overarching aims are on exploring whether pre-diagnostic serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) among older individuals living in Iceland were associated with survival after cancer diagnosis. We also wanted to assess the risk of being diagnosed with cancer in association with 25(OH)D levels. In this population living just south of the arctic circle, vitamin D levels largely depend on dietary- and supplemental sources.
Chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA) is one of the most distressing side effects for patients. Scalp cooling can prevent or minimise CIA in approximately half of all patients, depending on many factors, e.g. type and dosage of chemotherapy. High rates of success are seen in patients treated with taxanes, up to 80-90%. Previous research has shown comparable results of scalp cooling in docetaxel-treated patients when shortening the post-infusion cooling time (PICT) from the initial standard of 90 minutes to 45- and 20 minutes. A shorter PICT is an advantage for both the patient, who can spend less time in the hospital, as well for the logistics at oncological departments. Paclitaxel and docetaxel are both classical taxanes, that share similar mechanisms of action and have comparable plasma terminal half-life times, therefore it seems plausible that the PICT can be shortened for paclitaxel-treated patients as well.
This is a study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of cobimetinib plus atezolizumab in participants with advanced solid tumors including the following cohorts: squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), urothelial carcinoma (UC), and renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and preliminary antitumor activity of AZD4573 in subjects with relapsed or refractory haematological malignancies.
Primary malignant and non-malignant brain tumors account for an estimated 21.42 cases per 100,000 for a total count of 343,175 incident tumors based on worldwide population estimates [1]. These entities result in variable but disappointing rates of survival, particularly for primary brain tumors (5-year survival rates: anaplastic astrocytoma 27%; glioblastoma multiforme 5%) [2, 3]. Metastatic brain tumors outnumber primary brain tumors (estimates as high as 10:1) as they affect approximately 25% of patients diagnosed with cancer [4-6]. In terms of brain tumor surgery, the extent of surgical resection-a factor that is greatly impacted by a Neurosurgeon's ability to visualize these tumors-is directly associated with patient outcomes and survival [7-9]. Although spinal cord tumors are lower in terms of their incidence [10], data correlating extent-of-resection to outcomes and survival have been demonstrated in patients with intramedullary tumors [11]. Using systemically delivered compounds with a high sensitivity of detection by near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence, it would be possible for us to improve surgical resection thus minimizing chances of recurrence and improving survival. Simply, if the tumor cells will "glow" during surgery, the surgeons are more likely to identify tumor margins and residual disease, and are, therefore more likely to perform a superior cancer operation. By ensuring a negative margin through NIR imagery, it would make it possible to decrease the rates of recurrence and thus improve overall survival. This concept of intraoperative molecular imaging requires two innovations: (i) a fluorescent contrast agent that can be injected systemically into the subject and that selectively accumulates in the tumor tissues, and (ii) an imaging system that can detect and quantify the contrast agent in the tumor tissues.[12, 13] Subjects undergo intraoperative imaging, receiving an injection of indocyanine green and then undergoing intraoperative imaging of the surgery site with a NIR imaging system. The imaging devices allow the operating field to be observed in real-time.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety profile of ASP8374 when administered as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with locally advanced (unresectable) or metastatic solid tumor malignancies. Also primary purpose is to characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of ASP8374 when administered as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab. Last primary purpose of this study is to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ASP8374 when administered as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab. The secondary purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-tumor effect (objective response rate [ORR], duration of response [DOR], persistence of response after discontinuation, and disease control rate [DCR]) of ASP8374 when administered as a single agent and in combination with pembrolizumab.

This observational study is designed to provide a better understanding of the potential use of IFNγ and IFNγ-inducible chemokines as markers of HLH disease activity and prognosis, and of the potential of IFNγ as a therapeutic target in M-HLH.
This 2-part, Phase 1, open-label study will determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of ARX788 in subjects with advanced HER2 positive cancers and will assess the safety and anticancer activity in breast, gastric and other advanced HER2 positive solid tumors.
