Filter by:A large number of patients with advanced cancer also suffer from cachexia. Cachexia is a syndrome characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass (with/or without loss of fat mass) that cannot be reversed by nutritional support and progressively leads to functional impairment. Patients who suffer from anorexia and cachexia have lower survival rates. Some patients with cancer use cannabis to improve the way they feel and relieve their pain. However, there is very sparse high-quality research to prove that cannabis products are truly effective. This study will investigate patients with advanced cancer who use inhaled therapeutic cannabinoid-based medication (PPP011), in addition to palliative care management, and will assess if these patients experience improvement in functional status as a surrogate endpoint for survivalquality
SHR-1603-I-101 is an single-arm, open-label, dose finding phase I clinical trial of SHR-1603 in subjects with advanced solid tumor or relapsed/refractory malignant lymphoid diseases. The study drug will be administered by intravenous infusion.
Amblyomin-X is an inhibitor of Factor Xa that also acts as an apoptotic agent for tumor cells. In the case of in vitro assays, Amblyomin-X induces tumor cells to death and does not affect the viability of normal cells. When in vivo assays were performed on mice bearing tumors, treatment with Amblyomin-X caused a significant reduction in tumor mass and number of metastases.
The objectives of this Pilot study are to investigate the toxicity and safety of high doses of [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) used as a therapeutic agent in patients with advanced stage IV malignant tumors that failed standard of care treatment, have a good performance status and bear radiosensitive tumors with a high [18F]-FDG uptake. The investigators hypothesize that [18F]FDG may have a significant tumoricidal effect on cancer cells and radionuclide therapy of cancers with high doses of [18F]FDG administered as a single dose or in multiple doses (dose fractionation regimen) can be safe and well tolerated with minimal toxicities. Advantages of FDG are its uptake in many different human tumors, its short half-life (110 minutes) and the possibility to monitor its effect closely with the FDG-PET scan. The rationale for using high doses of this radiopharmaceutical agent for treatement is that most malignant lesions have accentuated glucose metabolism, which is mirrored by increased uptake of FDG. Since FDG cannot be metabolized within the cell like glucose, it is effectively confined within the cancer cells; thus, FDG treatment is potentially a novel form of targeted therapy for tumors with increased FDG uptake.
