Filter by:This research study is testing the use of a smartphone app to identify clinically meaningful changes in the behaviors of patients' with gynecological cancers by using passively collected smartphone data.
This project aims to evaluate whether rapid first contact with the oncologist the same day or the next day after pathologic diagnosis contributes to a decreased time to treatment, decreased patient anxiety and increased patient satisfaction.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if imaging (called a hysteroscopy) can be used to help guide tumor removal during a hysterectomy.
Background: - Fluciclatide is a small cyclic peptide containing the RGD tri-peptide, which preferentially binds with high affinity to alpha(v)beta(3) integrins, which are up-regulated in and may regulate angiogenesis. - [18F]Fluciclatide is a new radiopharmaceutical developed for PET imaging - Changes in [18F]fluciclatide uptake will be evaluated before and after treatment of patients with targeted antiangiogenic drugs Objectives: Primary - To determine tumor uptake and retention of [18F]fluciclatide before and after 1 cycle of treatment with targeted anti-angiogenic therapy - Secondary - To assess the safety of multiple intravenous (IV) administrations of Fluciclatide [18F] Injection in subjects with solid tumors - To obtain preliminary data on the relationships between [18F]fluciclatide as a pharmacodynamic marker and standard of care imaging markers of clinical response (e.g. contrast-enhanced (CE) static computed tomography (CT), bone scintigraphy, FDG-PET), obtained as part of routine clinical follow-up as specified in the referring protocols, as well as any optional imaging performed Eligibility: - Patients greater than or equal to 18 years, with documented malignancy, and solid tumor greater than or equal to 1 cm outside of the liver, who are scheduled to enroll in an NCI therapy protocol using one of the anti-angiogenic agents described in the full protocol - Platelet count greater than 75,000 x 10(6)/L, hemoglobin greater than 9g/dL, prothrombin time (PT) and aPTT less than 2 times normal limits. - The subject has not received any targeted anti-angiogenic agents within 60 days prior to pre-treatment (baseline) [18F]fluciclatide administration Design: This study is intended to obtain preliminary data on the uptake and retention of [18F]fluciclatide before and after anti-angiogenic therapy. This will enable optimization of the imaging protocol, identification of the most relevant imaging parameters, and allow for calculation of the number patients required to power a larger study to assess the utility of PET imaging with [18F]fluciclatide as a pharmacodynamic biomarker in the context of targeted anti-angiogenic therapies. We expect to enroll 30 evaluable patients in this single center study. Subjects will undergo at least two [18F]fluciclatide PET/CT imaging studies, one pre-therapy and one following completion of 1 cycle of chemotherapy. An optional early post-therapy (2-7 days post therapy commencement) [18F]fluciclatide PET/CT may be performed. The magnitude of [18F]fluciclatide uptake on the pre- and post- treatment PET/CT studies will be evaluated to determine if there is a measureable difference in uptake. Data from the subject's referring therapy protocol will be reviewed for up to one year. An optional DCE-MRI scans of the target lesion may also be performed.
The intent of the proposed study is to describe the prevalence of the most common recurring mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, blmAsh , and the A636P MSH2 mutation among Ashkenazi Jewish individuals with a variety of cancer diagnoses. If a substantial proportion of these samples contain such mutations, future patients presenting with these diseases may wish to undergo genetic counseling and, if appropriate, formal genetic testing. The benefit from such a process would pertain mainly to the families of these individuals.
