Filter by:This phase II trial studies how well ipilimumab works in treating patients with human papilloma virus (HPV)-related cervical cancer that has come back or that has spread to other areas of the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, can find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them.
The folate receptor is overexpressed in many types of cancer, including ovarian and endometrial cancer, and the level of folate receptor expression increases with the stage of the disease. Technetium Tc 99m EC20 (99mTc-EC20; FolateScan), a folate-targeted diagnostic radiopharmaceutical, is designed to bind to the folate receptor. Thus, FolateScan may provide an effective method to determine folate receptor-positive (FR+) target tumors, thereby assisting in the identification of those patients who may benefit from folate-targeted therapy.
The folate receptor is over-expressed on many types of cancer cells and new folate receptor targeted therapies are being developed to target cancer cells that over-express the folate receptor. As with other targeted therapies, it is important to develop diagnostic tests that will provide accurate information on folate receptor status and aid in selecting patients that may benefit from folate-targeted therapy.
This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of decitabine when given together with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride and vaccine therapy in treating patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as decitabine and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Vaccines made from a peptide or antigen may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Giving combination chemotherapy together with vaccine therapy may kill more tumor cells
This is an open label Phase 1b clinical trial of IV administration of OKN-007 in a pilot cohort of human recurrent malignant glioma patients. All patients will have been previously treated with the standard-of-care treatment which includes surgical resection, radiation and chemotherapy, and in some cases treatment for recurrent disease with investigational agents or bevacizumab (Avastin). Patients with unequivocal recurrence (first or greater) established by MRI with and without contrast (e.g., Gd-DTPA (Gadolinium-diethylene triamine pentacetic acid) and meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be eligible for OKN-007 treatment on this protocol.
This study aims to examine the long-term success rate of catheter ablation in non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients using different ablation strategies such as : (i) pulmonary vein antrum isolation (PVAI) + isolation of left atrial posterior wall, (ii) PVAI plus scar homogenization, (iii) PVAI plus isolation of posterior wall plus ablation of non-PV triggers [ PVAI: Pulmonary Vein Antrum Isolation Non-PV triggers: Triggers arising from sites other than pulmonary veins]
Clinically, recurrence and life-threatening complications are challenging problems for chronic suppurative osteomyelitis of the jaw. There is no quantitative analysis or report about the causes of or risk factors for the two problems. Doctors identify the causes or risk factors only through clinical experience. The investigators performed a retrospective study of 322 patients with chronic suppurative osteomyelitis of the jaw. The risk factors for the above mentioned two problems were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. The investigators found that some of the patients' general conditions, including age, admission temperature, admission white blood cell count, pre-admission antibiotic administration without consultation, location of the lesion, and general patient condition, were the risk factors. The results indicate that doctors should be mindful of those risk factors and that the management should be more aggressive when the above risk factors are present.
Crohn's disease is a disease of complex etiology, multifactorial and still poorly understood. This disease, due to its morbidity and mortality, poses a significant public health problem in France. Apart from the involvement of bacterial factors and those involving the permeability of the epithelial barrier, it is now well recognized that several factors are associated with genetic predisposition in some of these patients. Among these factors, the Nod2 mutations were first identified. Studies concerning the presence of these mutations and the severity of disease results were sometimes conflicting. Very recently, new interesting mutations in genes involved in autophagy were found with greater frequency in patients with Crohn's disease. These mutations observed in Atg16 and IRGM genes. It has been particularly shown on large patient cohorts,the IRGM polymorphism was associated with a progressive disease, with histological severity scores. One of the severity criteria of Crohn's disease is the early recurrence observed in some patients after surgical resection of the injured segment. Predictive factors for such recurrence after surgery are not known or not.
The aim of this study is to assess whole body diffusion weighted imaging (WB-DWI) as a non-invasive method for - accurate staging of patient suspected having ovarian cancer - early treatment assessment - detecting tumor recurrence
To establish whether treatment with Inhaled Lipid Cisplatin (ILC) is effective in delaying/preventing pulmonary relapse in osteosarcoma patients in complete surgical remission following one or two prior pulmonary relapses.
