Filter by:This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well crizotinib works to treat patients with cancers with MET exon 14 deletion genetic changes. Crizotinib is in a group of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking enzymes that cancer cells need to grow and spread. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow.
Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific genetic changes called Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mutations. Advanced NSCLC refers to a type of lung cancer that has spread from the lungs to nearby tissues or other body parts. People with advanced NSCLC may have changes in certain proteins like EGFR and HER2 that cause uncontrolled cell growth and increased spread of cancer. In this study, participants will be healthy and will not benefit from taking the study treatment, BAY2927088. However, the study will provide information about how to test BAY2927088 in future studies on people with advanced NSCLC with EGFR or HER2 mutations. BAY2927088 is under development for the treatment of advanced NSCLC with EGFR or HER2 mutations. It is expected to work against these changed proteins, which might slow down the spread of cancer. Researchers think that BAY2927088 might affect an enzyme (called CYP3A4) that breaks down drugs in the body. This might make the effects of some drugs weaker or stronger. Midazolam is a drug that is broken down by CYP3A4. By studying the level of midazolam in the blood, researchers can understand how BAY2927088 might influence this enzyme's activity. The main purpose of this study is to find out how BAY2927088, taken as a single dose and as multiple doses, affects the level of another drug, called midazolam, in the blood of healthy participants. To achieve this goal, researchers will measure the following for midazolam when participants take it with or without BAY2927088: - Area under the curve (AUC): a measure of the total amount of midazolam in participants' blood over time - Maximum observed concentration (Cmax): the highest amount of midazolam in participants' blood The study will have 3 treatment periods: Period 1 (Day 1 to Day 2): On Day 1, participants will take midazolam Period 2 (Day 3 to Day 4): On Day 3, participants will take midazolam with BAY2927088 Period 3 (Day 5 to Day 15): On Days 5 to 13, participants will take BAY2927088 On Day 14, participants will take midazolam with BAY2927088 Participants will be part of the study for about 8 weeks with at least 3 visits to the study clinic. Participants will visit the study clinic: - More than/at least once, within 2 to 28 days before the treatment starts - Once on the day before the treatment starts and will stay in the clinic until Day 15 of the treatment - Once, within 7 to 10 days after they finish treatment for a health checkup During the study, the doctors and their study team will: - do physical examinations - collect blood samples from the participants to measure the blood levels of midazolam and of BAY2927088 - check participants' health by performing tests such as blood and urine tests, and checking heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatment.
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well GDC-0449 (vismodegib) works for treating patients with solid tumors, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and who have a smoothened or patched 1 genetic mutation. Vismodegib is a type of medication called a hedgehog signaling pathway antagonist and works by blocks a type of protein involved in tissue growth and repair and may block the growth of cancer cells.
This phase II MATCH treatment trial tests how well crizotinib works in treating patients with solid tumors, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory) and who have MET gene amplification. Crizotinib is in a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of enzymes that cancer cells need to grow and spread. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow.
Neutropenia, a decrease in the number of neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, due to the myelosuppressive effects of chemotherapeutic drugs, is a frequent occurrence in patients receiving anticancer drug therapy, which increases the risk of infection, which can have serious consequences such as antibiotic treatment, hospitalization, intensive care unit treatment, and death, and also reduces the effectiveness of anticancer treatment due to dose reduction and cycle delay. Therefore,G-CSF,which acts as a neutrophil growth factor, can be administered immediately after chemotherapy to increase the production rate of neutrophils and promote the efflux of mature neutrophils from the bone marrow, thereby increasing the absolute neutrophil count. Guidelines for the use of G-CSF published by the NCCN indicate that primary prophylaxis with G-CSF has clinical benefit for patients receiving anticancer drug therapy with a risk of febrile neutropenia greater than 20%. For those at 10-20% risk, consider primary prophylaxis based on risk factors. The frequency of neutropenic fever with FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy, which is commonly used in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer, was 5.4% in a prospective study of patients receiving high-dose regimens, but 42.5% of patients received prophylactic G-CSF, and 63.0% of patients received prophylactic G-CSF compared to 3.0% when given as postoperative adjuvant therapy demonstrating the need for G-CSF administration.In a retrospective study in Japan, a modified FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy regimen without pegylated G-CSF was associated with a 23% incidence of neutropenic fever and 61.5% grade 3-4 neutropenia, while prophylactic administration of pegylated G-CSF was associated with zero neutropenic fever and grade 3-4 neutropenia and longer survival .A retrospective study from Korea also reported that prophylactic G-CSF administration reduced neutropenic fever from 18.5% to 1.8% and Grade 3-4 neutropenia from 55.6% to 31.6 in pancreatic cancer patients receiving FOLFIRINOX .Pegteograstim (Neulapeg®) is a pegylated human recombinant granulocyte colony-stimulating factor with a long half-life (15-80 hours) compared to filgrastim (3-4 hours). Although several studies have demonstrated that G-CSF primary prophylaxis reduces the frequency of hematologic toxicities, particularly febrile neutropenia, during chemotherapy, it has not been prospectively studied whether primary prophylaxis reduces the frequency of grade 3-4 neutropenia and neutropenic fever in the modified FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy regimen in patients with pancreatic cancer. Therefore, this study is designed to determine if prophylactic administration of NEURAPEC reduces the frequency of Grade 3-4 neutropenia and neutropenic fever in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer receiving modified FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy.
The aim of the current study is to analyze the effect of listening to Quran or music or natural sounds on anxiety and stress level among patients undergoing MRI.
The goal of this study is to assess if motivational counselling works to reduce the weight in participants with Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).
Abdominal bloating and distension (ABD) are the most commonly gastrointestinal symptoms reported by patients with various functional gut disorders such as functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome and it is frequently associated with constipation. The pathophysiology of ABD is complex, often multifactorial and poorly understood. The reseach was hypothesised that short-term self-manual approaches and exercise for core muscles would have a positive effect on the symptoms of ABD.
At present, concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCRT) with platin-based dual-drug regimen is the standard treatment for inoperable, locally advanced esophageal cancer in patients with a good performance status. However, cCRT has substantial toxic effects, and a large number of patients with older age, malnutrition and other morbidities, cannot tolerate cCRT. Several phase II trials showed combining PD-1 inhibitor with definitive cCRT provided encouraging activity and acceptable toxicity in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (LA-ESCC). Therefore, this single-arm, multicenter, phase II trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy plus radiotherapy with immunonutrition support in patients with LA-ESCC and positive PD-L1 expression who are intolerant to cCRT.
The study aims to explore if non-response bias exists among individuals with chronic back pain, focusing on the impact of chronic disease count, treatment burden from multimorbidity, and health-related quality of life. Data is gathered from patients at Aalborg University Hospital's Rheumatology Department via electronic means and medical records. The analysis comprises two-wave assessments, investigating disparities among patients responding to study invitations based on response patterns: first, second, or third invitation responses. Utilizing baseline data, a one-way ANOVA is employed to detect potential between-group variations in the mentioned factors. Subsequently, a repeated measures ANOVA is conducted to evaluate differences among groups over time. Additionally, statistical analyses are conducted to scrutinize variances in age and gender distribution between respondents and non-respondents to the questionnaire invitations at baseline.
