Filter by:This study investigates the safety/toxicity and potential anti-tumor activity of sequential administration of nivolumab and escalating doses of the mTOR inhibitor ABI-009 in advanced Ewing's sarcoma, PEComa, epithelioid sarcoma, desmoid tumor, chordoma, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, urethelial carcinoma, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck, hepatocellular carcinoma, classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, MSI-H/dMMR metastatic colorectal cancer, and tumors with genetic mutations sensitive to mTOR inhibitors
The main objective of our study was to determine the modifications of blood myostatin and activin A concentrations associated with head and neck cancers. Secondary objectives consisted in studying their influence on the occurrence of cachexia, bringing the proof of a tumoral secretion of these factors, and then determining the effect of tumor removal.
This study evaluates the intratumoral administration of escalating doses of a novel, experimental drug, INT230-6. The study is being conducted in patients with several types of refractory cancers including those at the surface of the skin (breast, squamous cell, head and neck) and tumors within the body such (pancreatic, colon, liver, lung, etc.). Sponsor also plans to test INT230-6 in combination with anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies.
A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the validity and utility of a tele-dermatology system in the midterm periodic screening of non-widespread skin lesions of recent onset or for which a specialized early classification is deemed to change the prognosis - including precancerous skin lesions as well as melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers - compared to control visits at fixed follow-up.
This is a non-randomized, phase II, open label study of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy with docetaxel for high-risk squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck(HNSCC).The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with docetaxel in HNSCC patients.
Background: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) provide validated evidence of health and quality of life (QoL) from the patient perspective. Several national PROMs programmes have been implemented in the National Health Service - specifically for common elective procedures. Local implementation is varied across settings and populations. The incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is rapidly increasing, posing considerable burden on UK healthcare resources, yet there is limited evidence of use of PROMs in NMSC and little information about patients' perceived health and QoL. Objectives: This study will explore feasibility of implementing a skin cancer-specific PROM - Skin Cancer Quality of Life Impact Tool (SCQOLIT) for NMSC. Methods: Three hundred patients with a pathological diagnosis of NMSC undergoing all treatment modalities will be recruited to complete SCQOLIT questionnaires at baseline, at 3, 6 and 9 months. Participation and response rates, missing data and individual change scores will be analysed. Staff and patients will be interviewed to explore acceptability and feasibility of collecting PROMs data. Results: Interim results of the project to date will be presented. Feasibility will be assessed by evaluating number of eligible patients, number of consenting patients, reasons for not consenting and participant number. Individual longitudinal change in scores, response rates and psychometric properties of the SCQOLIT will be reported. Implications: Acceptability and feasibility of the SCQOLIT tool has never been rigorously assessed in Dermatology clinics. A validated NMSC-specific PROM would help standardize multi-centred trials, allow robust evaluation of quality of care and more appropriately direct healthcare resources to improve QoL in patients with NMSC.
There is no world-wide consensus on the oncological benefit versus increased morbidity associated with three field lymphadenectomy in patients with esophageal cancer and cervical lymph node metastases. In Asian countries, esophagectomy is commonly combined with a three field lymphadenectomy, including resection of cervical, thoracic and abdominal lymph nodes. However, in Western countries patients with cervical lymph node metastases are generally precluded from curative treatment.
The purpose of this study is to explore the detection of circulating tumor DNA, soluble immune markers, and the evaluation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).
The purpose of study is to assess the safety and performance of EktoTherix™ Tissue Repair Scaffold in the treatment of full-thickness, dermatologic wounds created by the surgical removal of non-melanoma skin cancers. EktoTherix™ is a medical device developed by Neotherix Limited, manufactured by the polymer processing technique of electrospinning. Described as a "tissue scaffold", EktoTherix is placed into the surgical wound to help the patients' own cells repair the wound, enhancing healing and improving quality (including cosmetic outcome). The tissue scaffold is completely absorbed by the body during the healing process, which means that there is no need to remove it when the wound is healed. All patients recruited into this study are treated with EktoTherix, are seen weekly until they heal and seen again at the final follow-up visit three months post-surgery. The investigators hypothesise that the use of EktoTherix will increase incidence of complete healing and result in an overall better cosmetic result of the healed wound.
