Filter by:Laparoscopic surgery is gaining currency in the field of oncologic care, particularly for colorectal and gynecologic cancers. This innovation could be used either for staging purpose and therefore could steer global therapeutic options or for surgical management only. Increase knowledge and skills lead to an increase in the number and rate of the women this innovation could be offered. The project team observed a shift from traditional surgical management (abdominal radical surgery) towards laparoscopic with a focus on lymphadenectomy. This innovation however increases some costs (the surgical stage) but decrease some others (the post surgical stage). Foreseeing the pace of the dissemination needs to have objective and reliable data about who had access to laparoscopic surgery and who didn't (and why) and accurate assessment of related costs. This program will focus on uterine cancer (both cervix and corpus).
This is an open-label, non-randomized, Phase I study of epacadostat (INCB024360) alone and in combination with pembrolizumab with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab without chemotherapy in participants with advanced solid tumors. The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of epacadostat administered alone and in combination with pembrolizumab with and without chemotherapy. With protocol amendment 02 (26-April-2019), treatment with epacadostat was stopped in the "Epacad+Pembro+Cisplatin+Pemetrexed", "Epacad+Pembro+Carboplatin+Pemetrexed", and "Epacad+Pembro+Carboplatin+Paclitaxel" study arms.
Patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms Philadelphia chromosome negative (MPNsPh1-) such as Essential thrombocytosis (ET), Polycythemia vera (PV) and Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF) have a higher risk of arterial or deep-vein thrombosis. This is responsible for a significant increase in mortality (up to 31% of increase in thrombosis risk in ET). Cellular inflation and blood hyperviscosity, resulting from these diseases, fail to account for these thromboses, as more than 50% of thrombotic complications happen under adapted antineoplastic drug treatment. These last years, cellular microparticles (MPs) have been shown to play a major role in thrombogenesis. MPs are generated by apoptosis or the activation of malignant cells, platelets, endothelial cells or monocytes. They are fragments of plasma membrane, smaller than 1 µm, rich in phosphatidylserine, which can express the tissue factor and serve as support for the coagulation factors. Increase in the plasma concentration of procoagulant platelet microparticles has been demonstrated in other thrombotic diseases (acute coronary syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation DIC, etc.). The working hypothesis is that platelet microparticles are involved in the hypercoagulability of MPNs patients.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the study drug prexasertib in combination with ralimetinib in participants with advanced or metastatic cancer.
The objective of this study is to characterize the safety profile and determine the maximum tolerate dose (MTD) of BXQ-350, when given as a single agent at escalating doses, according to the investigational product (IP) related dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in patients with advanced solid tumors. Secondarily to assess the preliminary antitumor activity of BXQ-350 in solid tumors and recurrent high grade gliomas.
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare disease characterized by an aggressive clinical behavior and a poor prognosis. It predominantly affects elderly males with an average age of 67 years at diagnosis and the affected organs are usually the skin, bone marrow, lymph nodes and the central nervous system. Patients with BPDCN have poor outcomes with median overall survival (OS) ranging in the largest series of patients from 8 to 12 months. Patient care must be defined in this pathology. Despite 40%-90% complete remission (CR) rates after initial chemotherapy, relapses are almost inevitable. The investigators have developed a national network to collect clinical and biological data of French patients diagnosed with BPDCN.
This pilot trial studies the side effects of giving pembrolizumab together with stereotactic radiosurgery to treat patients with melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic radiosurgery is a specialized radiation therapy that delivers a single, high dose of radiation directly to the tumor and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving pembrolizumab together with stereotactic radiosurgery may be a better treatment for patients with melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain.
The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of Bevacizumab plus allogeneic natural killer (NK) immunotherapy to many kinds of recurrent solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerance and Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) of Recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (JS001) in patients with advanced solid tumors.
This research trial studies the use of clinical practice guidelines by pediatric oncology healthcare providers in order to identify, understand, and overcome barriers to them. The treatments for childhood cancers are intense and result in a high rate of symptoms which require support by healthcare providers. By reviewing patients' medical chart records, meeting in focus groups and in one-on-one interviews, healthcare providers may improve how clinical practice guidelines are used to support children undergoing cancer treatment.
