Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a combination of an investigational WT1 vaccine and another drug called nivolumab. This is the first time that the WT1 vaccine and nivolumab are being used in combination. Also, to test the safety of a combination of an investigational NY-ESO-1 vaccine and another drug called nivolumab.
The aim of this study is to establish a platform of detecting and sorting circulating tumor stem cells from peripheral blood in HCC patients; to investigate the relationship between circulating tumor stem cells and their effects on postoperative recurrence and metastasis, in order to provide a new therapeutic target for hepatocellular carcinoma treatment.
VXM01 phase I pilot study in patients with operable recurrence of a glioblastoma to examine safety, tolerability, immune and biomarker response to the investigational VEGFR-2 DNA vaccine VXM01
In this multi-centre prospective randomized controlled trial the efficacy of segmental acupuncture in the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections will be assessed. The study (acupuncture) group will receive 12 acupuncture treatments according to a standardized protocol, plus recommendation for use of cranberry products. The control group will receive recommendation for use of cranberry products only.
Obstetric fistula, also called vaginal fistula, is a serious medical condition which affects women in low income countries. Despite the strengthening of research on fistula, there is little data on the follow-up after fistula repair. The objective of this study is to analyse the factors associated with the recurrence of fistula and the outcomes of pregnancy following fistula repair in Guinea. It will target women who got a closed fistula at discharge after repair in 2012/2015 at three fistula repair sites supported by the Fistula Care Project in Guinea (Kissidougou Prefectoral Hospital, Labé Regional Hospital and Jean Paul II Hospital of Conakry). The outcomes of interest are fistula recurrence and pregnancy. The predictors of interest will include patient characteristics, fistula characteristics, the context of repair and the context of reintegration. Participants giving an informed consent after a home visit by the Fistula Counsellors who managed women during surgery will be interview at enrolment and every six month from inclusion. The study duration is estimated at 48 months (January 2012 to March 2016) including the retrospective part. A sample size of 364 women will estimate the recurrence of fistula with a plus/minus 2% margin of error (width of confidence interval is 4%) and 95% confidence interval and is sufficient to estimate the rate of pregnancy with a two-sided 95% confidence interval and 10% precision. The cumulative incidence rate of fistula recurrence will be calculated using Kaplan-Meier methods and the risk factor analysis will be performed using adjusted cox regression. For the outcomes of pregnancy, Pearson's Chi Square (χ2) will be used to compare proportions of pregnancy outcomes between potential predictors and logistic regression models will be used and associations will be reported as risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Analysis will be done using STATA version 13 (STATA Corporation, College Station, TX, USA) with a level of significance set at P<0.05.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) recurrence rate is high among liver transplant patients, while treatment measures are limited. This study plans to recruit 39 subjects with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) related HCC after liver transplantation. The objective of the study is to assess the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of the HBV specific T cell receptor (HBV/TCR) redirected T cell in the target population.
This phase II trial studies how well enzalutamide, carboplatin, and paclitaxel work in treating patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer that is stage III-IV or has come back. Androgens can cause the growth of endometrioid endometrial cancer. Antihormone therapy, such as enzalutamide may lessen the amount of androgen made by the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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 enzalutamide, carboplatin, and paclitaxel may work better in treating patients with endometrioid endometrial cancer.
The current proposal is a pilot study. The Investigators plan to use next generation genome sequencing (NGGS) to define the molecular and genetic profiles of 3 cases of germ cell tumor (GCT) (with a component of yolk sac tumor) at the time of the initial diagnosis and 3 cases of late relapse GCT's, which are characterized by yolk sac tumor (and AFP secreting) predominant disease. Investigators seek to demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining tissue biopsies (either archived or new biopsy) and utilization of NGGS in studying the molecular and genetic relationships between GCT's (with a component of yolk sac tumor) at the time of diagnosis and GCT's at the time of late relapse. This study will also provide preliminary information on genetic alterations, which may be a hypothesis for generating another study.
The LOCARE-Trial is an investigator initiated, randomized-controlled trial with two parallel arms (n=60 each) and investigates the influence of esophageal washout on long-term outcomes in patients undergoing elective esophageal resection for carcinoma. The primary endpoint is defined as local carcinoma recurrence. Secondary endpoints will be locoregional and distant recurrence, disease-specific survival and esophageal cancer specific survival.
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is an effective therapy for acute leukemia, but relapse remains an important problem. Therapy options for relapse include stopping immune suppression, re-induction of chemotherapy, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), and another transplantation used alone or in combination. However, the efficacy of these interventions is limited. One approach to the relapse problem is to intervene before hematologic or pathologic relapse occurs based on minimal residual disease (MRD). In this study, the efficacy of MRD-directed DLI on transplantation outcomes will be evaluated in patients with acute leukemia receiving allo-HSCT.
