Filter by:The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to demonstrate that a nurse-led sexual rehabilitation intervention significantly improves sexual recovery and functioning among gynaecological cancer (GC) patients treated with radiotherapy (RT), compared with usual care (i.e., oral information by a nurse or doctor and written information). Women with GC (n=220) who receive RT in one of the participating Dutch GC centres (n=9) will be randomized to either the sexual rehabilitation intervention (n= 110) or usual care (n= 110), stratified for combined RTBT vs. RT alone, and for having a partner (yes/no). Women are eligible for participation if they: have been diagnosed with either cervical, endometrial, or vaginal cancer; are treated with radiotherapy; are 18 years or older; and wish to retain their sexual activity on the short or long term. The intervention consists of four one-hour sessions at 1 month, 3, 6, and 12 months after RT. Women who received RTBT will receive an additional appointment with the nurse (2 months after RTBT) to promote regular use of vaginal dilators in order to prevent stenosis. Participants are requested to complete questionnaires at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-RT. The primary endpoint is sexual functioning at 12 months. Secondary endpoints include vaginal symptoms and body concerns, fear of coital and non-coital sexual activity, sexual distress, treatment-related distress, generic health-related quality of life, psychological distress, and relationship dissatisfaction. Hypothesis: The investigators expect women who receive the nurse-led sexual rehabilitation programme to report a greater improvement in sexual functioning from immediate post-radiotherapy to 1 year post-radiotherapy than women in the control group.
The hypothesis of the study is that high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) can be used safely to treat rectal and pelvic cancer. The study consists of two trials exploring the use of HIFU in rectal and pelvic cancer to establish the safety and potential efficacy of HIFU in this instance. The first trial is a feasibility study looking at patients with early rectal cancer. We aim to recruit thirty patients with early rectal cancer who are due to undergo an operation to remove their cancer. After recruiting and consenting them for the trial, we will treat their rectal cancer with HIFU. Approximately one week after treatment they will undergo their normal cancer operation. This will allow us to demonstrate the safety of HIFU as a treatment for rectal cancer and evaluate the changes in rectal and surrounding tissue under the microscope after the cancer is treated with HIFU. In addition, we will monitor patients for any complications and the impact this treatment has on their quality of life. We will monitor the response of various markers for cancer with blood tests. The second trial aims to evaluate the treatment of a cohort of patients with inoperable rectal cancer. We aim to recruit thirty patients with either inoperable pelvic cancers - rectal, cervical or endometrial, or cancers that have returned after previous operations. We will offer these patients treatment of their cancer using HIFU. We will monitor the symptoms they experience and impact on their quality of life both before and at multiple time points after the treatment with HIFU. We will compare MRI scans before and after treatment to evaluate the effect HIFU has in reducing the size of the cancer. We hope to show that using HIFU in this group of patients can be both effective and lead to an improvement in both their symptoms and quality of life.
The 1100 study is an open-label, Phase I, dose escalation and expansion prospective clinical study to assess the safety of intratumoral injection of NBTXR3 activated by radiotherapy in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy.
Human papillomavirus infections 16 (HPV16) is known to be a high-risk factor to induce cervical cancers. To date, HPV16-related cervical cancer is still a major concern in developing countries where vaccination is not prevalent. Concurrent therapies for cervical cancers have limited response rate and high chance of relapse. However, HPV16-induced cancers provided an ideal target for T cell-based immunotherapy due to the non-self origins. Engineered T cells bearing a TCR (TCR-T) that can specifically recognize the presented HPV antigen become a viable approach to treat this type of cancer. Though engineered T therapies have been well-recognized in hematological cancers, solid cancer treatment has been a major hurdle due to the immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment. One key mechanism of tumor-elicited suppression is the PDL1-PD1 interaction which induces T cell exhaustion. Therefore, TCR-T cells armed with a PD1 antagonist could further enhance the efficacy of TCR-T in solid cancers.
This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1 study of orally administered VMD-928 in adult subjects with advanced solid tumors or lymphoma that have progressed or are non responsive to available therapies and for which no standard or available curative therapy exists
The goal of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy for cervical cancer based on a fundamentally new approach. We will test new tableted preparation, V3-Cervix, obtained from hydrolyzed, inactivated blood and tumors of patients with cervical cancer. When administered orally, it should cause a specific anti-tumor immune response and an anti-inflammatory effect. Trial is planned to last 3 months, recruit 20 volunteers, administer daily pill of vaccine and evaluate effect on tumor size and tumor markers.
The main objective of this study is to determine whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy with Carboplatin and paclitaxel plus standard cisplatin-based chemoradiation with extended fields improves overall survival rates compared to standard therapy alone in women with cervical cancer with paraaortic lymph node involvement. Women in the experimental arm will receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy with carboplatin and paclitaxel every 21 days during 3 cycles followed by standard therapy with extended field external radiation therapy and concomitant chemotherapy. Women in the control arm will receive standard therapy with extended field external radiation therapy and concomitant chemotherapy. 310 patients will be recruited during 4.5 years, with 3 years of follow up period.
The open label, first-in-human, phase 1, dose escalation component in refractory solid tumors has been completed. The Maximum Tolerated Dose and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) was determined to be 1.5mg/kg. The Expansion Phase of this study is currently enrolling subjects with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), cervical and uterine cancers who progressed on front line therapy. Subjects will be treated with NEO-201 at the RP2D (1.5 mg/kg) every 2 weeks in combination with pembrolizumab, given 1 day after the NEO-201, at 400 mg IV every 6 weeks.
The purpose of this phase II trial is to determine the feasibility and efficacy of nimotuzumab combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for initially inoperable locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
Cervical cancer with pelvic or para-aortic node involvement has a poor prognosis. Despite low-quality data, the routine practice to treat these patients is radiation with concurrent cisplatin. The aim of this study is to compare systemic chemotherapy with observation after radiation with concurrent cisplatin of cervical cancer ( with pelvic or para-aortic node involvement) for incidence of adverse events and local recurrence rate.
