Filter by:In order to extract the profiles of patients receiving DEBIRI treatment at best, the investigators proposed the establishment of a national prospective cohort to collect information on the greatest number of patients treated with DEBIRI. This cohort will allow a better understanding of the effectiveness, tolerance, feasibility and differences of practices at national level for this approach. These data will assist in the development of clinical trials in situations that appear to be most promising in clinical practice.
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and how well trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride combination agent TAS-102 (TAS-102) and nanoliposomal irinotecan work in treating patients with gastrointestinal cancers that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in the chemotherapy, such as trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride combination agent TAS-102 and nanoliposomal irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
HER2-positive cancer is a cancer that tests positive for a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). HER2 promotes the growth of certain cancer cells. This study will test DS-8201a (trastuzumab deruxtecan), a HER2-targeted antibody and topoisomerase I inhibitor conjugate. The safety and tolerability profile of DS-8201a will be assessed in Chinese patients with certain types of stomach and breast cancer that test positive for HER2. It also will test how DS-8201a moves within the body (pharmacokinetics).
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of patients who receive concurrent neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for Siewert II ，III of locally advanced HER-2 Positive adenocarcinoma at gastroesophageal junction
This randomized phase III trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy works compared to intensity-modulated radiation therapy in treating patients with stage IIA-B prostate cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a specialized radiation therapy that sends x-rays directly to the tumor using smaller doses over several days and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Stereotactic body radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with prostate cancer.
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common types of cancer in Denmark, and mortality among patients is high. Patients presenting with alarm symptoms of CRC are referred to colonoscopy in the cancer patient pathway for CRC. However, the proportion of patients with alarm symptoms who have CRC is below 10%. Simultaneously, the burden on endoscopy units to conduct fast-track colonoscopies is growing. Occult blood in the faeces may be an early sign of cancer or precancerous lesions, and can be detected by an immunochemical faecal occult blood test (iFOBT). Few studies have examined the diagnostic properties of the iFOBT among symptomatic patients, and reported sensitivities ranging from 88%-100%, specificities from 77%-94%, and negative predictive values from 98%-100%. These results were derived from diverse patient populations, and used different cut-offs to define positive test results. Using iFOBT may be a valuable tool for the GP when deciding on referral of the patient to the cancer patient pathway. However, evidence is needed on the diagnostic accuracy of the test to detect CRC among patients presenting with alarm symptoms. Hypothesis: In patients presenting with alarm symptoms of CRC, detection of faecal occult blood by iFOBT is an accurate measure of the presence of colonic lesions. Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the diagnostic accuracy of the iFOBT among symptomatic patients referred to colonoscopy in the cancer patient pathway for CRC. Materials and methods: The project is conducted as a diagnostic accuracy study. Patients appointed for colonoscopy will be invited to collect a faecal sample and mail it for analysis. The iFOBT result will be registered in a computer-based laboratory information system. The result of the colonoscopy will be registered in Danish national health registries. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value will be calculated as measures of the diagnostic properties of the iFOBT, using the result of colonoscopy as the reference standard. The accuracy of the test by type of alarm symptom will also be assessed. Perspectives: The study will provide new and valuable data to evaluate the referral criteria for the cancer patient pathway. Given a good discriminatory ability of the iFOBT among symptomatic patients, fast-track colonoscopy may not be necessary as a first-choice examination in the diagnostic work-up of these patients.
This study aims to evaluate the acceptability of a new non-invasive screening device to test for Barrett's esophagus. The investigators will prospectively enroll 100 patients to undergo Cytosponge testing. The time of involvement for an individual will range from 2 weeks to 2 months, depending on the results of the Cytosponge test and time to follow up endoscopy, if indicated.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well trastuzumab and pertuzumab work compared to cetuximab and irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with HER2/neu amplified colorectal cancer that has spread from where it started to other places in the body and cannot be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab and pertuzumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cetuximab and irinotecan hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving trastuzumab and pertuzumab may work better compared to cetuximab and irinotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this signal seeking study is to determine whether treatment with PDR001 and LAG525 demonstrates sufficient efficacy in advanced malignancies to warrant further study.
This phase 2 trial studies radium Ra 223 dichloride, hormone therapy and stereotactic body radiation in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Radium Ra 223 dichloride contains a radioactive substance that collects in the bone and gives off radiation that may kill cancer cells. Hormone therapy using leuprolide acetate or goserelin acetate may fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of testosterone the body makes. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a specialized radiation therapy that sends x-rays directly to the tumor using smaller doses over several days and may cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving radium Ra 223 dichloride, hormone therapy and stereotactic body radiation may work better at treating prostate cancer.
