Filter by:This research study is being done to investigate how Azenosertib affects tumor cells of persistent or recurrent uterine serous carcinoma. The name of the study drug involved in this study is: -Azenosertib (a type of Wee1 inhibitor)
The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is performing this research to accelerate diverse disease research using cells from the body (such as skin or blood cells) to make stem cells and other types of cells, conduct research on the samples, perform genetic testing, and store the samples for future use. Through this research, researchers hope to identify future treatments or even cures for the major diseases of our time.
The aim of this study is to show the superiority of the new unidirectional barbed suture (SYMMCORA® mid-term, unidirectional) to conventional suture material in terms of time to perform the vaginal cuff closure during gynecologic surgeries without an increase in the complication rate. Secondly, the superiority of SYMMCORA®, mid-term unidirectional compared to the V-Loc®, unidirectional will be assessed regarding the mean time to close the vaginal cuff. The study will be performed in routine clinical setting, the only difference will be the randomization into two different suture groups. Both suture materials which will be applied to approximate the vaginal cuff are approved and carrying the CE-marks. Additionally, both sutures will be applied in their intended use. Neither additional invasive measures nor additional burden in regard to the patient will be performed.
Clinical study participation has historically been heavily biased toward specific demographics. Several people will be invited to enroll in this trial so that it may collect a variety of data about uterine cancer clinical study experiences and identify barriers to participation as well as the causes of participants' failure or withdrawal. People with uterine cancer who are invited to take part in medical study will benefit from the analysis of the data.
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecologic cancer and ovarian cancer is the most lethal. The management of both advanced cancers is a combination of chemotherapy and surgery. Standard of care chemotherapeutic treatment for uterine and ovarian cancers is toxic and severely disruptive to the patient's quality of life with the potential for devastating short and long-term side effects. The role of fasting and ketogenic diets has been evaluated in a mixed cancer population and previously shown to be safe. There is no data specifically addressing the impact of a fasting diet regimen on side effects of chemotherapy during treatment for ovarian and endometrial cancers in the front-line setting. The information gathered from this study will inform future trials about the role of time-restricted eating and its impact on side-effects associated with chemotherapy as well as its role in improvement of quality of life for women afflicted with these debilitating diseases.
The purpose of this study is to utilize transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) images of the intact and post-hysterectomy female pelvis in order to provide feasibility information for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-TRUS fusion based 3D needle navigation system for use in image guided brachytherapy. The fusion and needle guidance will be performed using Eigen Health's navigation system that currently provides targeted MR/Ultrasound fusion based prostate biopsies utilizing a proprietary 3D semi-robotic navigation system.
Endometrial cancer is not a single entity but rather a very heterogeneous group of diseases. Historically, endometrial cancer patients have been classified as endometrioid (type I) or non-endometrioid (type II) according to the dualistic Bokhman model- However, this approach has been limited in accurately predicting prognosis and guiding treatment owing to heterogeneity within subtypes, inadequate incorporation of molecular and genetic information, and high interobserver variability . In the last ten years, after the publication of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)[5], the molecular classification of endometrial cancer into four molecular subtypes [(i) POLE/ultramutated group (POLE mutated), (ii) mismatch repair deficiency/microsatellite-instable, hypermutated group (MMRd/MSI-H), (iii) copy-number-high, TP53-mutant (CNH/p53abn), and (iv) copy-number-low, TP53-wild-type (CNL, or No Specific Mutational Profile [NSMP])] has rapidly gained interest. Recently, the European Societies of Gynaecological Oncology, Radiotherapy and Oncology, and Pathology (ESGO-ESTRO-ESP), the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), and the new 2023 International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging system have promoted the use of (surrogate) molecular classification. Retrospective studies supported the value of adopting molecular classification to offer reliable data on prognostication and adjuvant treatment decisions. Although no prospective data are available, current guidelines promote the use of molecular profiles to tailor adjuvant treatment after surgery. As only a few retrospective studies have investigated the association between molecular profiles and response to various adjuvant treatments, it is important to note that data are limited. Interestingly, the growing adoption of molecular profiling led to the detection of a subgroup of tumors called multiple classifiers, characterized by multiple (two or three) molecular features. According to the guidelines, tumors with a POLE mutation should be considered POLEmut, regardless of other molecular features, whereas MMRd/MSI-H tumors with a p53 abnormality should be considered MMRd/MSI-H. Data on these patients is limited and fragmentary. The aforementioned consensus is based solely on a large retrospective cohort of multiple classifiers collected by Leon-Castillo et al.. Hence, to fill this literature gap, the investigators designed this retrospective study, which aimed to collect multiple classifiers patients to improve knowledge on this emerging category.
Financial distress affects 30-70% of cancer patients and describes the burden that patients experience due to the costs of care (CoC). One reason may be because patients lack the appropriate information on CoC that would help them better plan for and manage their CoC. Therefore, the investigators plan to test a Proactive CoC intervention which includes a discussion with a trained educator on CoC information and a Cost Tracking tool to help patients deal with their CoC.
Women with known or suspected recurrent or metastatic uterine cancer may be eligible for this study. Patients may participate in this study if they are at least 18 years of age, most participants will be receiving care at the clinical practices of the University of Pennsylvania. [18F]fluoroestradiol (FES) PET/CT imaging will be used to evaluate estrogen receptor (ER) activity in areas of disease known by standard of care imaging (e.g. CT, MRI, Bone Scan, FDG PET/CT, ultrasound) or clinical exam. For patients starting a new line of therapy, imaging will occur prior to starting new therapy. For patients who completed an initial scan and are starting new therapy, some patients may also undergo a second FES PET/CT scan at the time of suspected progression of disease to compare for changes in FES uptake measures (prior to initiation of next line therapy). The selection of therapy will be made by a treating physician and will not be affected by participation in this imaging study. Results of the FES PET/CT scan may be shared with the treating physician or subject by request but will not be used to make clinical decisions about treatment.
