Filter by: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.
Currently, the treatment of cervical cancer in early stages is performed with a radical surgery called Radical Hysterectomy with Pelvic Lymphadenectomy. This surgery, when indicated correctly, in early stages of this disease, has a cure rate of approximately 90% at 5 years, compared to the same Pelvic Radiotherapy. However, it is known that most patients with early stage cervical cancer are young (average age 45) and treating these patients with radiotherapy would have a loss of hormonal function by damage to the ovaries and damage in sexual function by radiotherapy effects in the vagina. Furthermore, if the patient has a pelvic recurrence, the option of radiotherapy treatment could not be offered. Due to the factors listed above, nowadays, in young patients with good clinical conditions and tumors in early stages, radical surgery is a good option. In this radical surgery there is a need for removal of the parametrium, and different degrees of pelvic denervation may occur causing damage of urinary function.Currently, there is no consensus about the correct moment of catheter removal and evaluation of urinary function using the residual urine test. While in some services the urinary catheter is removed on day 1 postoperatively, in others it is removed on the 14th day postoperatively. For these reasons, this study aims to compare the early catheter removal (day 1 postoperatively) versus standard in the investigator's service (7 days postoperatively) withdrawal. If this study detect that the patients may remove the urinary catheter on day 1 postoperatively, much less cost, discomfort, pain and comorbidities associated with the use of indwelling catheter for prolonged periods occur, such as urinary tract infection, use of antibiotics and even hospitalization for this reason.
Perspectives: To analyse if the change of specific immune response will correlate with clinical effect of advanced cervix cancer after radio-chemotherapy. To evaluate the specific immune response throughout monitor the change of the programmed death-1(PD-1) in CD8 T cell and CD4 T cell and Treg cell in blood at baseline, before first brachytherapy and before the last brachytherapy in the advanced Cervix Cancer patients. To use immunohistochemistry (IHC) technique to monitor the change of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1),CD68,CD8,CD4,PD1 and Treg expression in biopsy at baseline, before first brachytherapy and before the last brachytherapy in the advanced Cervix Cancer patients. To detect the change of T cell receptor(TCR) repertoire and Tumor mutation burden (TMB) at baseline, before first brachytherapy and before the last brachytherapy in the advanced Cervix Cancer patients.
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
Invasive cervical cancer incidence and mortality can be dramatically reduced through early detection and treatment, but many women do not complete screening at recommended intervals. Many low-income women in Virginia remain uninsured and are at significant risk of being medically underserved and failing to complete regular cervical cancer screening. Self-collection of specimens for HPV testing is an innovative approach that may increase access to cervical cancer screening in populations that do not participate in traditional clinic-based screening. Innovative delivery models are needed to reach at-risk populations. This study seeks to explore the acceptability and feasibility of pairing self-collection of HPV samples for DNA testing with mobile mammography in women living in rural Virginia.
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.
Investigators aimed to determine the validity of the investigator's novel tumor targeted fluorescent peptide TMTP1-ICG to increased accuracy of laparoscopic SLN mapping
To Observe and Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Apatinib in Patients With Advanced Cervical Cancer After Radiotherapy and First-line Chemotherapy.
This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of V503 (GARDASIL™9, 9vHPV vaccine) administered to 9- to 26-year-old females and males in Vietnam. The study hypothesis states that V503 induces acceptable anti-human papillomavirus (HPV) 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, and 58 seroconversion at 4 weeks postdose 3.
Both toxicity and local relapse are major concerns in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer. The purpose of this study is to ameliorate both by integrating modern imaging (diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging; DW-MRI) into the treatment planning of modern radiotherapy. We want to evaluate the safety and effect of excluding the unaffected uterus (as determined on magnetic resonance imaging) from the treatment field. Meanwhile we want to explore the possible use of apparent diffusion coefficient values (DW-MRI) as biomarker of treatment response.
