Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy or intensity modulated radiation/proton therapy works in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has come back. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Intensity modulated radiation/proton therapy uses high energy x-rays or protons to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. It is not yet known whether stereotactic body radiation therapy or intensity modulated radiation/proton therapy may work better in treating patients with head and neck cancer.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice with a prevalence reaching 5% in patients older than 65 years and an incidence that increases progressively with age.1 According to the most recent guidelines, class Ic anti-arrhythmic drugs are considered the first line treatment in patients without significant structural heart disease. Flecainide is effective in preventing AF recurrences in 31-61% of cases according to different studies.2-5 A recent study showed that the combination of Flecainide and Metoprolol improves effective rhythm control in patients with persistent symptomatic AF compared to Flecainide or Metoprolol alone.6 In contrast, the combination of Flecainide and Metoprolol conferred no significant benefit over Flecainide alone in patients with paroxysmal AF. This suggests different underlying mechanisms for paroxysmal and persistent AF. Pulmonary veins are likely the main focus triggering paroxysmal AF while in persistent AF the role of pulmonary veins is less important.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis of an investigational DNA vaccine being developed for the prevention of relapse of tuberculosis.
This Pediatric MATCH screening and multi-sub-study phase II trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in pediatric patients with solid tumors, non-Hodgkin lymphomas, or histiocytic disorders that have progressed following at least one line of standard systemic therapy and/or for which no standard treatment exists that has been shown to prolong survival. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic changes or abnormalities (mutations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic mutation, and may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors or non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
This is a Phase II/III trial with two groups of adults successfully cured of category 1 pulmonary TB receiving either VPM1002 or placebo. Single dose of VPM1002 / placebo will be administered to calculate efficacy of the vaccine against TB recurrence.
Among behavioral cognitive psychotherapies, new "Mindfulness" interventions allow patient to identify, pay attention and accept external (sensory stimuli) and internal (cognition and emotions) phenomena. This "to do with" training has yielded promising results in stress management, prevention of depressive relapse, management of craving and an increase in self-efficacy. Few studies (none in France) have attempted to measure the efficacy of this technique on alcohol relapse, in particular by comparing it with a usual management strategy (conventional relapse prevention therapy). The main objective of this study is to compare the efficacy on alcoholic relapse (measured in the "first glass" consumed), from a Mindfulness therapeutic program to a conventional Relapse Prevention program. Secondary objectives are to demonstrate the efficacy of this program on craving, self-efficacy, and secondary endpoints of relapse (massive alcoholism, number of alcoholisation days).
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with pembrolizumab in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, or Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement or that does not respond to treatment. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving vorinostat and pembrolizumab together may work better than pembrolizumab alone in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, or Hodgkin lymphoma.
This is a prospective phase II clinical study planned to be conducted at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). After meeting the study criteria and enrollment, patients will be treated with a cladribine based salvage regimen and followed at periodic intervals to determine the primary and secondary objectives.
This phase Ib/II trial is aimed at studying the combination of a drug named Selinexor (selective inhibitor of nuclear export) in combination with standard therapy for B cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma called R-CHOP. The investigators will establish maximum tolerated dose of Selinexor in combination with RCHOP and also study the efficacy of this combination for therapy of B cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Giving Selinexor plus chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
This phase II trial studies the efficacy (the effect on the tumor) and the safety (the effect on the body) of the study drugs when given as a combination in participants with this type of cancer. Another purpose of the study is to see which tumor markers (proteins in the blood that the body produces in response to the cancer) lead to better results in participants treated with the study drugs. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are antibodies, which are human proteins that recognize and attach to a part of the tumor and/or body's immune cells. They work in slightly different ways to activate the immune system and help the body's immune system to work against tumor cells. Nivolumab and ipilimumab are investigational because they are not approved by the FDA to be used for the type of cancer being studied.
