Filter by:Prospective, open-label, within-patient, multi-center study of Lymphoseek in the detection of lymph nodes in subjects with known cancer of the cervix. All subjects will receive a single dose of 50 µg Lymphoseek radiolabeled with 2 mCi (74 MBq) Tc 99m.
This study will establish the feasibility and accuracy of localising and outlining the uterus on ultrasound images using both healthy volunteer and cervical patient cohorts. This will enable us to determine whether or not ultrasound will be a good option to ensure the correct patient position prior to radiotherapy for cervical cancer patients.
The aim of this study is to assess the potential benefit of the addition of immunotherapy with VGX-3100 and INO-9012 (i.e. INO-3112) to concomitant CRT or, to concomitant CRT and continued as adjuvant in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. Safety run-in: To test the safety of CRT combined with immunotherapy with INO-3112. This safety run-in phase will include the first 3 patients treated in each of the two INO-3112 combination arms who are exposed to at least two immunotherapy doses and evaluate whether the combination does not pose undue immediate risks to the patients further enrolled in the trial. Phase II:To demonstrate sufficient activity in the experimental combination arms to warrant a further phase III conclusive trial based on progression free survival (PFS) at 18 months assessed by RECIST by the local investigator. The efficacy will be assessed within each experimental arm while the standard arm will serve as a reference arm to check the reliability of the results.
A new mobile diagnostic and treatment unit is being developed by BCH to address the loss-to follow-up associated with the mobile screening program and demonstrate POC diagnosis by HRME. The mobile diagnostic and treatment unit will be equipped with the tools and infrastructure necessary to perform HRME, VIA, colposcopy, biopsy and treatment with cryotherapy. A team of a colposcopist, nurse, nursing assistant, and driver will staff the mobile diagnostic and treatment unit. The unit will travel to offer follow-up diagnostic and treatment services to women who have screened positive during a prior visit with the mobile screening unit. The mobile diagnostic and treatment unit will be constructed and maintained at BCH.
To evaluate whether a less radical surgical approach with sentinel lymph node biopsy is non-inferior to treatment with systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy. The null hypothesis is that the recurrence rate after SLN biopsy is non-inferior to the reference recurrence rate of 7 % (at the 24th month of follow-up) in patients after systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy, but that the less radical surgery is associated with significantly lower postoperative morbidity.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of electric stimulation on the pelvic floor function in cervical cancer patients with type III hysterectomy.
Experience with substituting carboplatin for cisplatin is limited in advanced and recurrent cervix cancer and there has been no counterpart to GOG 158, which documented therapeutic equivalency of cisplatin/paclitaxel and carboplatin/paclitaxel for treatment of ovarian cancer, performed in a cervix cancer population.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether combining of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cytokine-induced killer cells (CIK) transfusion can prolong survival of patients with cervical cancer.
Background: Chemotherapy damages cancer cell deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) so the cells die, and the tumor shrinks. But it may stop working in some people over time. This is partly due to efficient DNA damage repair mechanisms used by tumor cells. VX-970 (M6620) may stop cancer cells from preventing the repair of DNA damaged by chemotherapy. The purpose of this study is to see if using the chemotherapy drug topotecan along with the drug VX-970 (M6620) will improve the response to chemotherapy. Objective: To study the safety and efficacy of VX-970 (M6620) and topotecan in treating small cell lung cancer. Eligibility: Adults at least 18 years old with small cell lung cancer. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, blood and heart tests, and scans. Most of these tests are part of their routine care. Most of these tests will be repeated throughout the study. The study is set in 21-day cycles. Participants will get topotecan intravenous (IV) on days 1 through 5. They will get VX-970 (M6620) IV on day 5 alone or on day 5 and day 2. Participants doctors will monitor them weekly for the first cycle, every 3 weeks after that. For Part 1 of this Study the doses of topotecan and VX-970 (M6620) will be increased (according to the Protocol) to determine the maximum safe dose of the combination. The maximum safe dose of the combination is the dose at which no more than 1 in 6 people have an intolerable side effect. More participants will join in Phase 2. They will take the drugs at the maximum safe dose, on the same schedule as the drugs were taken in Phase 1. Participants will give samples of blood, hair, and tumor tissue (optional) at different times. They will discuss side effects at every visit. A month after stopping taking the drugs, participants will have a physical exam and blood drawn. They will have follow-up phone calls every 3 months.
The investigators design a phase 2, open labeled, randomized trial of Tamoxifen (20 mg/day) and Letrozole (2.5 mg) in treatment of squamous carcinoma of the cervix. Forty four patients with recurrent or persistent disease will be recruited, randomized, treated and followed three-monthly for 12 months. The primary end point is the treatment response rates. Secondary end points include survivals, ECOG performance status, quality of life and efficacy of biomarkers in predicting the responses. Candidate biomarkers including ER, PR, GPER and HPV genotype in paraffin cancer tissues as well as methylated genes in the blood will be studied in relation to the therapeutic outcomes.
