Filter by:This study will evaluate the use of siltuximab to decrease the severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurological syndrome (ICANS) in patients who will receive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for the treatment of hematological malignancies.
This study will address whether cannabis affects antiretroviral therapy (ART) drug concentrations, mood, and thinking. The project will have two phases. Phase 1 is an observational study, in which 120 people will be assessed to evaluate the effects of chronic cannabis use on ART drug concentrations, mood, and thinking. In Phase 2, the study will administer cannabis (or placebo) to 40 people to examine its acute effects on ART drug concentrations.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of the Mediracer® NCS device in early detection of CIPN in patients receiving potentially neurotoxic substance (vincristine, oxaliplatin or docetaxel) as a part of their chemotherapy regimen.
Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most limiting side effects of chemotherapy and often leads to adaptations in the protocol of the chemotherapy including dose reduction or even discontinuation of treatment. In general, the symptoms of CIPN are sensory, often distributed in a "stocking and glove" manner, and include pain, tingling, and numbness. CIPN has a marked negative influence on quality of life of patients and their families. It may result in serious limitations in daily functioning and affect the enjoyment, social relationships, and ability to perform work. Current management of CIPN (i.e. prevention and treatment) includes dose reduction or delay of chemotherapy cycles and treatment discontinuation. Unfortunately, this reduces the chance of an effective cancer treatment. Current guidelines of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) on the Prevention and Management of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy do not conclusively recommend any agent for the prevention of CIPN. Due to the scarcity of drugs that are effective for preventing and treating CIPN, the distress of patients who suffer from CIPN, and the major societal and economic costs, new approaches and effective treatment strategies are required. The proposed trial is a parallel, double blind, placebo controlled, randomised, phase III superiority trial, aiming to determine whether treatment with SMP prevents incidence of or reduces the severity symptoms of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy, as compared to placebo.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of usual versus reduced lipid intake on unbound bilirubin levels, brainstem auditory evoked responses, and neurodevelopmental outcome at 2 years in extremely preterm infants.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a multimodal program based on therapeutic exercise and vagal activation techniques for newly diagnosed breast cancer women has better results in terms of neurotoxicity prevenion before or during medical treatments.
Taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN) caused by albumin-bound paclitaxel is a dose-limiting toxicity. The main symptoms of discomfort are numbness, tingling, and burning sensations in the glove-sock-like distribution of the limbs. At present, there are few effective methods for clinical treatment of TIPN, and there is no widely agreed consensus on effective treatment in the world. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance and practical value to carry out clinical research to explore drugs to relieve TIPN.
Open-label, single-arm, single center pilot study to assess safety and feasibility of administering dexamethasone intrathecally and simvastatin orally during axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) treatment. Feasibility will be measured by the proportion of patients completing two-thirds (2/3) of their assigned treatments. The study will be deemed feasible if 2/3 or more of the patients complete 2/3 or more of their allocated treatments.
The purpose of this research is to replace one of participants' outpatient chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy follow up visits with a virtual or "telemedicine" visit. The telemedicine visit will use an electronic tablet with a camera and a microphone that allows participants to communicate with their physicians and nurses. Participants will be provided with the necessary equipment to complete these visits.
A prospective feasibility trial initially including 10 patients to investigate if Neurofilament light protein can be detected in peripheral blood in patients undergoing Isolated Limb Perfusion with chemotherapeutic agents. This biomarker could act as predictive biomarker for neurotoxicity after isolated limb perfusion.
