Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 7th most common cancer worldwide but is the 4th deadliest, because diagnosis tend to be late and current systemic therapies are poorly efficacious. Within the same tumour, different parts of the HCC can belong to separate molecular sub-groups. In addition, there is currently no validated predictive biomarkers to help clinicians select the best therapy for an individual patient. This challenge poses an urgent, unmet clinical need. To address this, the multi-disciplinary research program Precision Medicine in Liver Cancer across an Asia-Pacific Network (PLANet 1.0) was conceptualized and successfully conducted from 2016-22. The program uncovered novel insights into the highly heterogeneous molecular landscape of HCC and novel mechanisms, including how HCC reverts to fetal forms to escape the body's immunological defence. These investigations will be continued in PLANet 2.0 and in this new phase, the research team will investigate patients receiving best-in-class therapeutics in 2 investigator-initiated clinical studies (AHCC12 and AHCC13), including Atezolizumab plus Bevacizumab (Atezo+Bev) and Yttrium-90, which allows the research team to collect longitudinal, before and after treatment biosamples and clinical data. These clinical studies will serve as proof-of-concept to the study team's translational findings and allow it to uncover predictive biomarkers which will help clinicians to institute more efficacious and personalized treatment in the future. The research team comprises of experts in different complementary fields (epigenomics, genomics, immunomics, metabolomics, proteomics, clinical science and data science) and across different institutions. This allows the team to adopt an integrative approach in understanding the landscape of the HCC tumour micro-environment and biomarkers co-localisation, and their role in tumour evolution and therapeutic response. By adopting a wide spectrum of converging investigations, PLANet 2.0 will identify and validate biomarkers that correlate with clinical outcomes (response, resistance and recurrence).
This is a multicenter single arm study, with an aim to assess the effects of adjuvant icotinib among EGFR mutant stage I lung adenocarcinoma patients, who have high-risk pathological features of recurrence.
Clinical Indication : HER mutated or HER2 Amplification/Overexpression in Gastric Cancer, 2nd-line Trial Type : Interventional, Open label Treatment Groups : Single arm: Pembrolizumab 200 mg every 3 weeks (Q3W), neratinib at 240 mg once daily (QD), and paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 every 3 weeks (Q3W) Number of trial participants : Approximately 68 patients will be enrolled (with 10% drop-out). Estimated enrollment period : 24 months Estimated duration of trial : It is estimated that the trial will require approximately 30 months from the time the first patient signs the informed consent until the last patient's last visit. - First Patient In: Mar 2021 - Last Patient In: Feb 2023 - Last Patient Last Visit: Aug 2023 Duration of Participation : 30 months
The female genital tract microbiome may reflect female reproductive health and may be related to pregnancy outcomes. Disturbances in this microbiome may be associated with adverse reproductive outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that the endometrial and vaginal microbiome composition in women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss are different, compared with those in normal fertile women.
Earlier studies have shown a dose-dependent relationship between alcohol intake and incident atrial fibrillation (AF) as well as a causal link with several risk factors for AF such as hypertension, obesity and sleep apnea. However, the effect of drinking (alcohol) on post-ablation outcome such as arrhythmia recurrence, quality of life (QoL) and cognitive function in AF patients is unclear. Therefore, we aim to find the answer for a very frequently asked question, "is it safe to continue drinking alcohol (at the pre-ablation level) following catheter ablation OR should the intake be reduced for better outcome?", in this randomized trial.
The objective of this prospective, multi-centre study is to evaluate the performance of ADXBLADDER, a urine MCM5 ELISA test, as an aid in the detection of bladder cancer recurrence. Patients undergoing cystoscopic surveillance in non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) follow-up will be recruited and asked to provide a urine sample to be tested with ADXBLADDER. To assess the diagnostic accuracy of the test, the MCM5 results will be compared with the gold standard cystoscopy and pathology of resected tissue.
This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of TTI-621 or TTI-622 in combination with pembrolizumab in treating patients with diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma that has come back (relapsed). TTI-621 and TTI-622 are called fusion proteins. A fusion protein includes two specialized proteins that are joined together. In TTI-621 and TTI-622, one of the proteins binds with other proteins found on the surface of certain cells that are part of the immune system. The other protein targets and blocks a protein called CD47. CD47 is present on cancer cells and is used by those cells to hide from the body's immune system. By blocking CD47, TTI-621 and TTI-622 may help the immune system find and destroy cancer cells. Pembrolizumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against human cell surface receptor PD-1 (programmed death-1 or programmed cell death-1) that works by helping the body's immune system attack the cancer and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving TTI-621 or TTI-622 in combination with pembrolizumab may kill more cancer cells in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
Background of the project: The surgical treatment of parapelvic cysts is currently less researched and there is no gold standard for surgery. Previously, in percutaneous nephrolithotomy, we found that fenestration and fenestration drainage in the simultaneous treatment of pararenal pelvis cysts under nephroscopic nephroscopic surgery has clear curative effect, less trauma, and quicker recovery. Objective: To clarify the safety, efficacy and long-term efficacy of percutaneous nephroscopy in the treatment of parapelvic cysts. Nature: Retrospective case cohort study. Basic research process: Retrospective collection of cases in our hospital who underwent percutaneous nephroscopy for the treatment of parapelvic cysts, and comparison of preoperative and postoperative cyst size changes and long-term efficacy.
Pathologic complete response (pCR) after multimodal treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients is considered as the gold-standard of treatment success as it is associated to privileged oncologic outcome. Nevertheless, data from multicenter high-volume cohorts with long term follow-up are scarce. This is a multicenter observational study using prospectively collected data from the Spanish Rectal Cancer Project database. The main objective of the study is to update long-term oncologic follow-up of those patients treated for LARC with nCRT and surgery (either TME or subtotal TME; S-TME) who had obtained a pCR. Secondary objective is to analyze demographic, clinical, operative and treatment variables in search of related factors to adverse oncologic outcomes, like distant recurrence or tumor-related deaths. The results are reported in accordance with the STROBE (STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology) Statement for observational studies. All calculations are performed using Stata 13.1 (StataCorp, Texas, USA).
