Filter by:Background & Rationale: For years, most tumor immunotherapy researches have focused on T cell and natural killer (NK) cell therapies, most of which involve amplification and modification of the patient's immune cells for reinfusion therapy. However, for the treatment of solid tumors, there is currently little breakthrough. Recently, researchers have reported a colony of cancer-resistant mice developed from a single mouse that was immune to multiple lethal cancer cell injections. Further research revealed that such anti-cancer immunity can cause rapid shrinkage or disappearance of the tumors in other cancer-bearing mice. Interestingly, this therapeutic effect is due to the donor granulocytes, instead of T cells or NK cells. Infusion of granulocytes is a classic therapy in treating infection associated with granulocytopenia. Currently, clinical collection of blood components, including isolation of granulocytes, is a mature technique. The infusion of granulocytes is a viable anticancer therapy combining the classic technique and novel anticancer approach. This proposed trial will test whether granulocyte infusions from healthy unrelated donors can be used to treat advanced cancer. In the proposed trial, up to 100 Subjects with advanced cancer can be entered. Each patient will be given a dose of (2.0-5.0)x10^10 granulocytes from a different healthy donor every week over a course of 5 doses. The trial will evaluate the subject's cancer 7, 30, 90 and 180 days after the last infusion.
This study is an open-label, Phase 1, multicenter study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD profiles of AGEN2373 as a monotherapy and in combination with botensilimab (also known as AGEN1181), and to assess the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in subjects with advanced solid tumors.
This study is a randomized, parallel control, multicenter,phase II study, comparing the efficacy and safety of apatinib plus POF(paclitaxel plus oxaliplatin plus 5-fluorouracil plus leucovorin) versus POF, in the first-line treatment for patients with advanced/metastatic gastric cancer.
Despite the common application of radiotherapy in cancer treatment, the prediction of radiosensitivity and treatment response has not yet entered the era of precision medicine. Therefore, development of genome-based methods for predicting radiosensitivity and treatment response is a central goal of radiation oncology. In the previous study, the investigators have identified a set of novel potential biomarkers associated with radiosensitivity and recurrence，through correlating patients' genomic profiles with toxicity, disease progression and overall survival after RT.
This is a multicenter study assessing the efficacy of nivolumab in association with relatlimab.
The main goal of this study is to assess retrospectively the integration of Palliative Care in an oncology and hematology unit. The investigators will study the last six month of life on advanced cancer patients and retrieve data from their medical file to obtain criterias of quality of care and integration of palliative care in this population. Those criterias have been used before in other setting (Earle Criterias, ESMO Recommendations) and The investigators will compare our data to existing publications. They also hope to see if it is retrospectively possible to assess the probability of death using the Pronopall score. This will help them asses if aggressive end of life care could have been avoided using the Pronopall Score
The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug abemaciclib in combination with other anti-cancer therapies is safe in Japanese participants with advanced cancer.
Muscle is lost as part of the rectal cancer disease process. Surgery to treat rectal cancer and its subsequent immobility leads to increased muscle loss. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been shown in previous studies in the critically ill to maintain muscle mass. The investigators aim to examine whether NMES use in the pre and postoperative setting preserves muscle mass, speeds up recovery and improves outcomes in advanced rectal cancer patients undergoing curative surgery. This is a phase II double blind randomised controlled clinical trial.
For local relapse not amenable to reasonable curative surgery or for those with metastatic chordoma, chemotherapy is recognised as inactive. The major study drug is the small molecular tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeted at the stem cell factor receptor (KIT) and the platelet-derived growth factor receptors (PDGFRA and PDGFRB), eg. imatinib. Anlotinib is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting both at VEGFR-2, -3 and PDGFRA and PDGFRB with high affinity, which also showed broad antitumor activity against EGFR and so on. Thus this multicenter, two-armed phase II trial of PKUPH-sarcoma 05 intended to investigate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib versus imatinib on advanced chordoma.
Using a cluster randomized design at the clinic level, this project will implement and test three real-world, scalable advance care planning interventions among primary care clinics across three University of California health systems. Seriously ill patients identified using data from the electronic health record will receive (1) an advance directive with targeted messaging, (2) intervention 1 plus prompting to engage with the Prepare For Your Care website, or (3) intervention 2 plus engagement from a clinic-based facilitator. A Research cohort of patients will provide complete surveys at baseline, 12 and 24 months. The main outcomes are advance directive completion among the population cohort and goal concordant care among the Research cohort at 12 months.
