Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to provide evidence for the general tolerability of radiofrequency ablation (bRFA) in patients with unresectable bile duct cancer undergoing systemic palliative treatment consisting of chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) plus durvalumab (immune-checkpoint-inhibitor, ICI). The main question it aims to answer is whether it is safe to combine chemotherapy (gemcitabine and cisplatin) and immunotherapy (durvalumab) - CICI therapy. Participants will be assigned to either the control group or the experimental group. In the control group, the standard of care consists of endoscopy with stent placement in the bile duct and CICI, whereas in the experimental group, bRFA will be performed in addition to the standard of care. Participants will be followed up for 6 months, during the follow-up, the stage of the tumor, blood examination, the duration of the stent from the insertion until its failure, adverse events and quality of life will be examined. Researchers will compare the standard of care alone to the experimental group to see if the additional bRFA procedure causes higher or no difference in adverse events rate.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about radiofrequency ablation in patients with unresectable bile duct cancer who receive systemic chemotherapy and bile duct stenting. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does radiofrequency ablation of tumorous bile duct occlusion reduce risk of complications in these patients (eg stent dysfunction, delay of chemotherapy, infections etc)? - Is radiofrequency ablation safe in these patients? All participants will receive standard treatment with systemic chemotherapy and bile duct stenting. Researchers will compare two groups (one group will receive additional radiofrequency ablation, the other not).
The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of envelizumab in combination with sovalteinib in the treatment of treated bile duct cancer, and explore treatment options to improve patient survival, while the study will attempt to explore the characteristics of the population benefiting from the treatment, and construct a preliminary efficacy prediction model by detecting markers in blood to provide a theoretical basis for implementing precise treatment.
Clinical trials can sometimes favor certain demographic groups. Additionally, there is limited research that delves into the factors that influence participation in clinical trials, both positive and negative. The goal is to identify the obstacles and challenges that prevent participation in bile duct cancer clinical trials, as well as the reasons for withdrawal or discontinuation. The insights gained from this study will ultimately benefit those with bile duct cancer who may be invited to participate in medical research in the years to come.
A prospective, multicenter, self-control clinical trial aim to enroll 110 patients suffered from upper abdominal (liver, pancreas, stomach, etc.) cancers . Patients who have taken at least one opioid drug for pain for two weeks and still have a VAS pain scale greater than 6 will receive endovascular denervation (EDN). They will be followed up for 3 months. The VAS scales, quantity of analgesics as represented by morphine equivalent and quality of life scores will be compared before and after EDN. Safety parameters such as arterial deformation, embolism, infection, liver and kidney functions will also be monitored.
