Filter by:Post-authorisation prospective follow-up study to assess the clinical impact on time to progression (TTP) from the start of anti- multiple myeloma treatment at the onset of asymptomatic relapse/biological progression versus start of treatment at the time of symptomatic relapse.
B-precursor ALL is an aggressive malignant disease. Therapy is usually stratified according to risk characteristics to ensure that appropriate treatment is administered to patients with high-risk of relapse. In general, pediatric treatment regimens are more intense than those employed in adults and include courses of combination chemotherapy. Standard of care chemotherapy is associated with considerable toxicity. There is a lack of novel treatment options for subjects who relapse or are refractory to treatment. Therefore, innovative therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Blinatumomab is a bispecific single-chain antibody construct designed to link B cells and T cells resulting in T cell activation and a cytotoxic T cell response against CD19 expressing cells. This study will evaluate the event-free survival (EFS) after treatment with blinatumomab when compared to standard of care (SOC) chemotherapy. The effect of blinatumomab on overall survival and reduction of minimal residual disease compared to SOC chemotherapy will also be investigated.
This phase II trial studies how well iodine I-131 works with or without selumetinib in treating patients with thyroid cancer that has returned (recurrent) or has spread from where it started to other places in the body (metastatic). Many thyroid cancers absorb iodine. Due to this, doctors often give radioactive iodine (iodine I-131) alone to treat thyroid cancer as part of standard practice. It is thought that the more thyroid tumors are able to absorb radioactive iodine, the more likely it is that the radioactive iodine will cause those tumors to shrink. Selumetinib may help radioactive iodine work better in patients whose tumors still absorb radioactive iodine. It is not yet known whether iodine I-131 is more effective with or without selumetinib in treating thyroid cancer.
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of ONC201 and to see how well it works in treating patients with acute leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has returned after a period of improvement (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). ONC201 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of dasatinib and temsirolimus when given together with cyclophosphamide in treating patients with solid tumors that have spread to other places in the body, have come back, or have not respond to previous treatment. Dasatinib and temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving dasatinib and temsirolimus together with cyclophosphamide may be a better treatment for advanced solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nivolumab is better than ipilimumab to prevent recurrence of melanoma.
Pregnant women with histories of depression are at high risk of depressive relapse/recurrence during the perinatal period, and options for relapse/recurrence prevention are limited. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) has strong evidence among general populations but has not been studied among at risk pregnant women. This study is the second phase of a multi-phase project adapting MBCT for perinatal women (MBCT-PD).
The investigators propose a prospective, multicenter, single arm Phase II design to evaluate the feasibility of repeated breast-conserving surgery combined with re- irradiation using IORT after local recurrence of breast carcinoma.
Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is one of the most frequently cited unmet needs among survivors, and affects 22 to 87% of cancer patients. The objective of this study is to test the effectiveness of a six weekly, 1-hour manual-based individual therapy to reduce FCR among cancer survivors. A total of n=20 cancer survivors will be recruited from the Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre (TOHCC) in Ottawa, Ontario. Participants will be randomly selected to receive either the psychotherapy intervention or standard care at TOHCC. All participants will be asked to complete a series of questionnaire packages at 3 time points. Ultimately, decreasing FCR can improve quality of life and reduce distress.The objective of this RCT study is to test the effectiveness of a six weekly, 1 hour manual-based cognitive-existential (CE) individual intervention to reduce FCR among cancer survivors. It is hypothesized that: 1. Participants in the intervention group will have lower scores on the primary outcome measure of FCR after treatment, as compared to a standard care control group 2. Participants in the intervention group will have lower scores on the secondary outcome measures of uncertainty, cancer-specific distress, intolerance of uncertainty, and faulty beliefs about worrying, will demonstrate enhanced coping skills, and report better quality of life after treatment, as compared to a standard care control group, and these changes will be maintained at a 3-month follow-up.
Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is the traditional surgical treatment for early-stage breast cancer patients. There are evidences indicating that oncoplastic-BCS (displacement technique) could improve cosmetic outcomes and/or quality of life, and has similar oncological safety as traditional BCS does. However, there are no prospective trial comparing oncoplastic-BCS vs. traditional BCS in terms of cosmetic outcomes and oncological safety. In this study, the investigators are going to address this issue by assigning patients into traditional and oncoplastic-BCS group, based on their preference.
