Filter by:The purpose of this study was to determine whether radiotherapy combined with Temozolomide is more effective than radiotherapy alone in the treatment of patients with refractory pituitary adenomas. The Basic treatment was Radiotherapy over a period of six weeks, for a total dose of 54 Gy. The150 participants were randomized to use either radiotherapy plus Temozolomide (75 mg per square meter of body-surface area per day, 7 days per week from the first to the last day of radiotherapy), or radiotherapy plus placebo for 6 weeks. After a 4-week break, followed by six cycles of placebo or adjuvant temozolomide (150 to 200 mg per square meter for 5 days during each 28-day cycle). The primary end point was Objective Response rate, the second end point was PFS. Greater response was anticipated in patients treated with Temozolomide+ radiotherapy than radiotherapy alone.
This study evaluates the ability of endoscopists to perform a complete optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps between 5 and 15 mm, and the impact of the only endoscopic diagnosis on the follow-up program for those patients. This is a prospective study in which we compare the diagnosis regarding size and histology made by the endoscopist versus de pathologic diagnosis.
A prospective validation of real time deep learning artificial intelligence model for detection of missed colonic polyps
The purpose with this study is to test a digital patient-provider communication tool for symptom and needs management among patients with chronic health conditions.
This research study is evaluating the effect of AMR101 as a possible chemopreventive agent to reduce risk of colorectal cancer in individuals with a history of colorectal adenoma. - The name of the study drug involved in this study is: -- AMR101 (VASCEPA).
There is a need for improved visualization of presence and extent of pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) tissue during transsphenoidal surgery (TSS), especially in tumors invading the cavernous sinus (CS). Optical molecular imaging of PitNET associated biomarkers is a promising technique to accommodate this need. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF-A) is overexpressed in PitNET tissue compared to normal pituitary tissue and has proven to be a valid target for molecular imaging. Bevacizumab is an antibody that binds VEGF-A. By conjugating a fluorescent dye to this antibody, the fluorescent tracer molecule bevacizumab-800CW is created, which binds to VEGF-A. The investigators hypothesize that bevacizumab-800CW accumulates in PitNET tissue, enabling visualization using a molecular fluorescence endoscopy system. In this pilot intervention study the investigators will determine the feasibility of using microdoses (4.5, 10 and 25 mg) of bevacizumab-800CW to detect PitNET tissue intraoperatively.
The EndoRotor® is intended for use (USA labeling) in endoscopic procedures by a trained gastroenterologist to resect and remove tissue, not intended for biopsy, of the gastrointestinal (GI) system including post-endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) tissue persistence with a scarred base and residual tissue from the peripheral margins following EMR. In this trial investigators will conduct a post-market, prospective, non-randomized, multi-center study for the treatment of subjects with the need for resection of recurrent flat or sessile colorectal lesions where EndoRotor is the primary resection modality of persistent adenoma with a scarred base.
The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of Ultivision Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software in detecting adenomas in screening colonoscopy procedures. The safety of Ultivision AI Software will also be assessed. A subset of the subjects will enter a roll-in period for clinical trial safety assessment. The remainder of subjects who are eligible will enter the detection phase which comprises a screening colonoscopy procedure. In the detection phase, subjects will be randomized to a screening colonoscopy with Ultivision AI Software enhancement or without AI Software enhancement. The study will measure the mean adenomas per colonoscopy procedure, as defined by the protocol, detected while receiving either treatment option.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancer in Hong Kong. In 2018, CRC accounted for 17.4%, 5,780 cases, of the total new cancers. CRC claimed 2,279 lives (15.8%) making it the second most deadly killer in the population. Since 2010, the Cancer Expert Working Group (CEWG) has recommended that asymptomatic average-risk individuals aged 50 to 75 years should consider one of the screening methods: fecal occult blood test (FOBT) every one to two years; OR flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years; OR colonoscopy every 10 years. However, it poses great challenges for large scale CRC screening using colonoscopy, such as bowel preparation difficulties, complications of procedure and poor compliance. ColoClear® is intended for use as an adjunctive screening test for the detection of colorectal neoplasia associated DNA markers and for the presence of occult hemoglobin in human stool. It has the potential of increasing the sensitivity of detecting CRC as compared to FOBT or faecal immunochemical test (FIT), which detects the presence of hemoglobin in stool alone. A positive result may indicate the presence of colorectal cancer or pre-malignant colorectal neoplasia. ColoClear® is not intended as a replacement for diagnostic colonoscopy. A positive result in ColoClear®, as with any screening test, should be followed by colonoscopy. ColoClear® is intended for colorectal cancer screening in average risk individuals: adults of either sex, 40 years or older, who are at high risk for colorectal cancer.
Narrow band imaging or electronic chromoendoscopy might provide similar adenoma detection capabilities while limiting time spent when compared to conventional chromoendoscopy method.
