The research group on adaptive image-guided radiotherapy for locally advanced cervical carcinoma completed the protocol for the EMBRACE II study in October 2018. This study will be carried out in the next few years at the University Clinic for Radiotherapy at the Medical University of Vienna and other international partner institutes. EMBRACE II builds on the findings of the current EMBRACE study. These are already implemented in everyday clinical practice in order to further improve the accuracy of the entire therapy of cervical carcinomas, using state-of-the-art techniques of tele- and brachytherapy. The aim of the EMBRACE II study is to maintain and enhance the excellent local tumor control as well as the nodal and systemic control for all tumor stages while minimizing the adverse reaction rates for all affected organs (rectum, sigmoid, urinary bladder, and vagina) to increase the quality of life of patients with cervical carcinomas.
The purpose of this study is to see if treatment with atezolizumab and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) will improve the objective response rate (ORR) compared with atezolizumab alone in patients with recurrent, persistent, or metastatic cervical cancer.
The proposed study aims to increase HPV screening behaviors in Jamaican women by examining the acceptability of HPV Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) self-sampling tools, and to determine the most culturally appropriate and effective message design for promoting such a tool in this context.
The primary objective of this randomized phase II trial is to evaluate the clinical benefits of the addition of atezolizumab to standard chemoradiotherapy (CRT) (first given concurrently with CRT, then continued as adjuvant treatment), compared with CRT alone, on investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS), as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
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 aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the model of delivering CHW-driven home-based comprehensive NCD control services aimed to prevent premature deaths from cardio-vascular diseases, stroke and breast, cervix and oral cancers in the hard-to-reach women.
Patients with primary peritoneal cancer or secondary peritoneal cancers from stomach, colorectal, appendiceal, and gynecological primary origin will be screened by pathology and staging to see if they are eligible to undergo cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). To be eligible for the study, patients must be over 18 years of age, have appropriate pathology and stage with disease confined to the peritoneal cavity, have a good performance status, have laboratory values that fall within safe ranges to undergo an operation and receive intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The chemotherapeutic agent and dose will be assigned based on pathological diagnosis in accordance with current standard of care. Surgery will be performed with the goal of removing all visible tumor that may require removal of adjacent organs. Once only microscopic disease is present, the chemotherapy will be delivered directly into the peritoneum via intraperitoneal hyperthermia and perfusion device. This will continue for 90 minutes. Patients will be followed for tumor response, survival, toxicity, complications, quality of life, and tumor markers. They will have regular follow up visits with the surgeon, undergo routine surveillance imagings, and receive follow up phone calls periodically.
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.
