Filter by:The PIONEER Initiative stands for Precision Insights On N-of-1 Ex vivo Effectiveness Research. The PIONEER Initiative is designed to provide access to functional precision medicine to any cancer patient with any tumor at any medical facility. Tumor tissue is saved at time of biopsy or surgery in multiple formats, including fresh and cryopreserved as a living biospecimen. SpeciCare assists with access to clinical records in order to provide information back to the patient and the patient's clinical care team. The biospecimen tumor tissue is stored in a bio-storage facility and can be shipped anywhere the patient and the clinical team require for further testing. Additionally, the cryopreservation of the biospecimen allows for decisions about testing to be made at a later date. It also facilitates participation in clinical trials. The ability to return research information from this repository back to the patient is the primary end point of the study. The secondary end point is the subjective assessment by the patient and his or her physician as to the potential benefit that this additional information provides over standard of care. Overall the goal of PIONEER is to enable best in class functional precision testing of a patient's tumor tissue to help guide optimal therapy (to date this type of analysis includes organoid drug screening approaches in addition to traditional genomic profiling).
This Phase I/Ib study is a Multicenter, Open-label, Dose-Escalation, Safety, Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacokinetic Study of GZ17-6.02 Monotherapy and in Combination with Capecitabine, Given Orally on a Daily Schedule in Patients with Advanced Solid Tumors or Lymphoma
This is a feasibility, randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a person-centred care planning intervention involving patients recently diagnosed with a poor prognosis cancer who are starting a palliative oncology treatment in a Scottish regional cancer centre.
Gastric cancer remains the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide and is especially frequent in East Asia. Fluoropyrimidines are the backbone of first-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (AGC), and S-1 provides new option with its simplicity and convenience. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) was the only efficacious treatment for AGC before the nineties of the 20th century, and afterwards with the discovery of chemotherapy such as cisplatin, oxaliplatin, S-1 and capecitabine, response rate as well as survival had been improved greatly. Most of AGC will progress after first-line treatment; therefore, seeking an efficient and low toxic maintaining regimen to prolong progression-free survival (PFS) becomes a hot topic in oncologic field. Some clinical researches demonstrated maintenance treatment for advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) and lung cancer. The investigators had conducted a phase III clinical trial that demonstrated capecitabine maintenance versus observation prolonged PFS significantly after first-line chemotherapy with FOLFOX or XELOX regimens in advanced CRC. In AGC, several retrospective studies revealed patients receiving 5-FU/leucovorin(LV), capecitabine, or trastuzumab maintaining therapy experienced significantly longer PFS than that stopped chemotherapy after first-line chemotherapy. Some one-arm phase II clinical trials found 5-FU/LV, capecitabine, S-1, capecitabine plus bevacirumab, or capecitabine plus bevacirumab plus trastuzumab maintenance seemed to yield sound PFS and good tolerance. However, there were no randomized controlled clinical trials for maintenance treatment of these regimens in AGC, except that a phase II Chinese randomized controlled trial of Uracil and Tegafur (UFT) versus observation experienced early termination. Above all, so far, there is no data to demonstrate that regular 2-6 months of chemotherapy followed by maintenance treatment could prolong PFS and OS for AGC. S-1 is effective for gastric cancer, and was approved as palliative treatment for advanced gastric cancer and adjuvant treatment; in addition, with its relative less frequency of side effects and convenient oral administration, S-1 as maintenance regimen could be prone to be accepted by patients. Therefore, the current study is designed to investigate that S-1 as maintenance treatment after first-line palliative chemotherapy could improve PFS and OS for patients with advanced gastric cancer through a perspective randomized clinical study.
Objective. The objective of the study is to verify and validate the data collected in the Spanish EURECCA (EUropean REgistry of Cancer CAre) Esophagogastric Cancer Registry between January 2014 and December 2017 through an audit process. It is also intended to describe the initiation and implementation of this Registry as well as its early outcomes. Methods. An audit of registered cases (esophageal, esophagogastric junction and gastric cancer resectable patients undergoing surgery) from 01/01/2014 to 12/31/2017 and a descriptive analysis of these data will be performed. Expected results. The study could show that the Spanish EURECCA Esophagogastric Cancer Registry is a reliable source of information, valid for carrying out specific and exhaustive analysis that may lead to high quality publications in indexed journals. It is also expected to generate a high impact based on the large number of cases included in the Registry, favoring new research projects. Relevance. The standardization of the data collection is essential to compare outcomes between different centers, regions and countries. This study will allows us to verify the integrity of the collected data as well as its accuracy, a critical aspect to gain credibility for future studies using the Registry data.
Gastric cancer is the third major cancer of global cancer-related death. In China, the early diagnosis rate of gastric cancer is relatively low, and most patients are with locally advanced tumor stage. The neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) can bring the survival advantage for gastric cancer patients with locally advanced tumor stage. The primary goal of NAC is to control the micrometastasis and/or progression of the primary lesion in order to improve potential of radical gastrectomy. NAC is recommended for patients with locally advanced stage (T2-4Nx) according to the latest NCCN Gastric Cancer Guidelines. Laparoscopy distal gastrectomy (LDG) can achieve a better postoperative short-term recovery than the traditional open distal gastrectomy (ODG), which can reduce the intraoperative blood loss and to shorten the postoperative hospital stay. Therefore, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery program of gastric cancer surgery recommends the use of minimally invasive surgery. For long-term survival outcomes, there is limited evidence supported that laparoscopic gastrectomy is comparable open gastrectomy. Therefore, due to the lack of high-quality prospective clinical trial results, whether advanced tumor is suitable for laparoscopic surgery is still controversial. Therefore, some multi-center prospective randomized controlled trials have been carried out, compared safety and long-term survival outcome between laparoscopic and open gastrectomy in locally advanced gastric cancer patients. CLASS-01 trials reported that for locally advanced gastric cancers, laparoscopic D2 distal gastrectomy is safe and feasible. Patient's surgical tolerance and stress response may be inhibited after the treatment of NAC. The aim of this trial is to confirm the safety of laparoscopy distal D2 radical gastrectomy for the treatment of after neoadjuvant chemotherapy gastric cancer patients (cT3-4a, N+, M0) in terms of postoperative complications.
International registry for cancer patients evaluating the feasibility and clinical utility of an Artificial Intelligence-based precision oncology clinical trial matching tool, powered by a virtual tumor boards (VTB) program, and its clinical impact on pts with advanced cancer to facilitate clinical trial enrollment (CTE), as well as the financial impact, and potential outcomes of the intervention.
PURPOSE: To determine the prognostic properties of a comprehensive evaluation of body composition and physical function in patients with GI-HEP cancer from point of diagnosis and throughout the treatment trajectory. GI-HEP: Patients with tumors of the upper gastrointestinal or hepatobiliary tract, specifically tumors of the esophagus, gastro-esophageal junction, stomach, primary tumors of the liver or biliary tract, as well as colorectal liver metastasis or tumors of the pancreas.
There is no evidence available about which molecular profiling methods are currently used for cancer patients in Austrian clinical practice. The construction of the registry proposed as a completely independent research endeavor, will be helpful for scientific evaluation and the establishment of highly credible data.
