Filter by:This is a single-center, single-arm ，open-label ，dose escalation and dose extension study. In this study we plan to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CD70-targeting UCAR-T cells in the treatment of CD70-positive refractory or relapsed solid tumors, and obtain recommended doses and infusion patterns.
This clinical trial is looking at UCB4594. This is the first time the drug is being tested in humans. UCB4594 is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody. It has been designed to work by targeting a protein called human leucocyte antigen G (HLA-G) that is found in high levels on some cancer cells. By attaching itself to this protein it may help the immune system to attack and kill the cancer cells. The four main aims of the clinical trial are to find out: 1. The best dose of UCB4594 that can be given safely to participants in the trial. 2. What the side effects of UCB4594 are and how they can be managed. 3. What happens to UCB4594 inside the body and how it affects cancer cells. 4. Whether UCB4594 can cause cancer to shrink.
This study aims to test the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two different strategies of home-delivered HPV self-sampling, in comparison to the standard of care strategy, to increase adherence to cervical cancer screening. An experimental and population-based study will be implemented at three primary healthcare centers located in the Western Porto region: Cedofeita, Garcia de Orta, and Prelada. Eligible women will be randomized into a control group or an intervention group. The control group will correspond to the standard of care (invitation to screening in a clinical setting). The intervention group will be randomized into two subgroups: 1) a "directly mailed" group that will receive a self-sampling kit at their home addresses by post; 2) an "opt-in" group that will receive an invitation at home asking if they want to receive a self-sampling kit, with a pre-paid envelope to return the answer to this question. Women who answer "yes" will receive the self-sampling kit at their home addresses by post. Self-sampling samples will be subjected to HPV genotyping. In parallel, high-risk HPV positive women will be called in by their family doctors to undergo screening in a clinical setting so that they can continue their clinical follow-up in the conventional pathway.
Objective: The main objective of this study is to verify the level of comfort for patients and the degree of cervical visibility for health providers using a novel smart speculum compared to the standard speculum. In addition, establish the feasibility of using this novel smart speculum device with telemedicine for cervical cancer screening in a low-resource setting using VIA compared to the standard of care. Study sites: The study will be carried out in six health facilities in the centre region of Cameroon. Study Period: The study is expected to take 11 months; 4 months for protocol development and approval, 4 months for the training and implementation phase with data collection, 3 months for data analysis, reporting writing and dissemination. Study design: The study will be a multicentre, randomised control single blind trial. Patient participation will be a single study visit. Eligible subjects, consenting to participate will act as their own controls, and will receive speculum examination and cervical cancer screening with both the novel speculum and a traditional speculum. The order of usage of the specula will be randomised, and the women will be blinded on knowing which speculum is being used at a particular time. Level of patient comfort will be evaluated using a visual analogue scale, percentage visualisation of the cervix will be determined following insertion of each of the specula, and results of cervical cancer screening following VIA screening method will be compared between the standard of care procedure to that using the novel smart speculum associated to telemedicine. Patient population: All women between the ages of 21 years and 49 years who come in for consultation. Enrolment size: 81 women will be enrolled in the study. Study procedure: A speculum examination will be done on the day of consultation. Level of patient comfort determined using a visual analogue scale and proportion of the cervix visualised would be recorded into questionnaires. Cervical cancer screening through VIA will be performed with results confirmed on site by the clinician using the standard speculum, while two other clinicians for each case will do a remote diagnosis after reviewing images captured through the novel speculum device and forwarded to them through telemedicine. The remote clinicians will be blinded on the diagnosis proposed by the clinician on site. Primary endpoints: The proportion of clinicians with easy visualisation of the cervix with the 2 specula, level of patient comfort with the novel smart speculum compared to the Standard of care speculum (traditional speculum), reliability of the speculum in carrying out cervical cancer screening using telemedicine. Ethical considerations: The protocol will be submitted for the approval of the National Human Health Research Committee. Written informed consent will be sought for all participants before enrolment into the study.
This is a prospective, single-center, phase II, randomized, window-of-opportunity trial initiated by researchers. The research hypothesis is that metformin can improve the level of hypoxia in locally advanced cervical cancer and further improve progression-free survival. The study aims to compare the improvement of tumor hypoxia with synchronous chemoradiotherapy with or without metformin, using CA-IX PET/CT and radiation positioning spectral CT to evaluate tumor hypoxia, screening hypoxic patients for inclusion in the study, and comparing the effects of synchronous chemoradiotherapy with or without metformin on the degree of hypoxia and progression-free survival in the two groups of patients.
The ETERNITY project is a retrospective analysis of outcomes of patients undergoing fertility-sparing treatment for cervcial cancer. The primary aim is to report outcomes of those patients. Other aims included: 1. Evaluation about the effectiveness of different treatment modalities; 2. Evaluation of outcomes according to different stages of disease; 3. Evaluation of the impactof neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients undergoing conservative surgery
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy sequential maintenance therapy versus placebo combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma. The primary hypotheses are that nimotuzumab plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy sequential maintenance therapy is superior to placebo plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy with respect to progression-free survival.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the use of hypofractionated radiation (delivery of fewer but larger doses of radiation) with concurrent chemotherapy for women with metastatic of bulky uterine cervix cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the MRI-assessed rate of response at 1-month and 3-months post-treatment? - What is the safety and tolerability of cisplatin-based hypofractionated pelvic Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) followed by brachytherapy? - What is the median progression-free survival and overall survival at 1 and 2 years for patients who undergo cisplatin-based hypofractionated pelvic IMRT? - What is the proportion of patients who complete the treatment in prescribed timeframe? - What the levels of cervix cancer circulating tumor cells pretherapy and after treatment? To confirm eligibility, within four weeks prior to study enrollment, all patients will undergo the following: - Complete history and physical exam, GOG performance status evaluation - Standard of care scans, which include staging CTs and/or PET scans, and MRI to verify eligibility and appropriate stage of disease. Blood tests will be done to check various organ functions. Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. The main difference between the proposed regimen in the trial and standard of care is as follows: 1. The trial has a shortened course of EBRT. Standard of care utilizes 25 treatments, also known as "fractions" of EBRT, while the trial utilizes 8 fractions of EBRT. An equivalent "biological effective dose" is achieved by increasing the radiation dose per fraction. 2. The concurrent cisplatin dosing is shortened from 5-6 cycles of cisplatin to 2 cycles of cisplatin. The dose of cisplatin is 40 mg/m2. This protocol requires photon IMRT technique followed by high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy. The therapies use focused energy beams to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy must be completed within 30 days +/- 2 days of initiation. Computed tomography simulation with the patient in a head-first laying on back-supine position is required. MRI-guided treatment planning and image guidance during treatment for motion management will be used. IMRT will be given once daily Monday-Thursday, four fractions per week. The high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy following institutional protocol. Brachytherapy will be delivered twice per week with a 2-day break in between sessions. A total of four brachytherapy treatments will be delivered. After active therapy is completed, treatment-related toxicity will be assessed at the 1-month post-treatment completion visit and again at the 3-month post-treatment completion. Patients removed from the study for unacceptable adverse events will be followed until resolution or stabilization of the adverse event(s). Routine MRI imaging to assess treatment response to radiotherapy is conducted at Day 15. Treatment response to radiotherapy followed by brachytherapy will be assessed at the 1- month and 3-months post-treatment completion. Following the 3-months post-treatment completion, study participants will be followed for disease progression and survival status until Year 2 post-treatment initiation. NOTE: Cervical cancer patients are routinely followed (clinical surveillance) every 3-months during the first two years post-treatment.
A Feasibility Trial of PVX7 vaccine in advanced cervical cancer patients who have completed primary definitive therapy.
ELEVATE is a six-year project, conducted by an international research alliance led by Ghent University, aiming to develop a new test and approach for cervical cancer screening in hard-to-reach populations. In this final stage of the project, a hospital-based validation study is deployed in Belgium and Ecuador to clinically validate the new ELEVATE screening test based on self-samples and endocervical samples. The simultaneous detection of HPV DNA and the proteomic markers allows for the detection of those cervical HPV infections associated with progression towards cervical cancer. At each study site, 100 women between 30-65 years old, with a recent abnormal pap smear result will be recruited in the colposcopy waiting room. After registration and signing the informed consent form, each woman will be asked to fill out a short self-administered questionnaire for socio-demographic information. Each woman will provide a self-sample as well as an endocervical sample before the colposcopy examination. Both samples of all 200 women (i.e. participants from Belgium and Ecuador) will be tested with the new ELEVATE screening test, using 400 ELEVATE cartridges, as well as with standard tests. Besides analyzing all samples on the new ELEVATE screening test, the following standard tests will also be performed on all samples (at Ghent University - including the shipped samples of Ecuador): - AnyplexTM II HPV HR Detection (Segeene Inc., Korea): approved comparison test - ELISA protein detection: only available comparison test In order to generate HPV DNA results locally, that can be communicated to the participants in short time (versus waiting for AnyplexTM II HPV HR Detection test results after shipment to Belgium), in Ecuador the following additional standard test will be performed on the100 endocervical samples (before shipment to Belgium): • HPV DNA Mole Bioscience test Concordance between the test results of the ELEVATE screening test and standard lab tests on both type of samples will be defined, for HPV DNA as well as protein detection. Additionally, the sensitivity and specificity of the HPV DNA test and the protein test of the ELEVATE screening test will be defined, according to clinically relevant outcomes.
