Filter by:This study is a dynamically adjustable prospective longitudinal study designed to capture biospecimen (biopsy, blood, surgical) and multimodal treatment (imaging, dosimetry, clinical) data before, during, and after treatment with definitive-intent standard of care (SOC) radiotherapy for patients with locally advanced cervical and pancreatic cancer.
Advanced cervical cancer patients treated with standard of care (SOC) chemoradiation plus glutaminase inhibition with telaglenastat (CB-839) will have increased progression-free survival (PFS) compared to historical rates for patients receiving SOC chemoradiation alone.
A pre- operative evaluation for the presence of intermediate risk factors prior to surgery may allow for better patient counselling, modify the course of surgery or select patients to undergo primary chemo- radiation. The purpose of this study is to validate that the presence of histological risk factors in a pre-operative large loop biopsy highly correlates with post-operative histological evaluation and the subsequent indication for post-operative chemo-radiation
This study expands on protocol (NCT01908504"PET adaptive RT") designed to evaluate the utility of adaptive PET-CT planning for radiation therapy (RT). Radiation therapy is used in many malignant diseases as a curative treatment modality. However, critical normal tissue is often in close approximation to disease, and portions of such tissue must receive high doses of radiation for appropriate treatment. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) adapted radiation therapy, as defined in the current protocol, may allow for a means of determining the eventual response to therapy, at a time point when adaptation of treatment plan may be possible to improve outcomes. This protocol will build upon the findings the previous protocol (NCT01908504 "PET adaptive RT") that evaluated the utility of intra-treatment PET imaging in multiple types of cancers. The current focus will be more specific to certain types of gastrointestinal and gynecologic cancers treated with RT, identified from the prior study to warrant further research.
The investigators have developed co-registered transvaginal photoacoustic and ultrasound (US) imaging techniques that allow them to visualize ovarian tumor structure and functional changes simultaneously, which may potentially reveal early tumor angiogenesis development or residual tumors after systemic treatment that is not available by US alone. The ability to detect early angiogenesis changes, as well as tumor morphology changes using a non-invasive imaging modality will greatly enhance the care for patients. The investigators plan to explore these techniques in monitoring cervical cancer treatment response and conduct pilot feasibility studies.
Compass is a randomised controlled trial of primary HPV testing for cervical cancer screening in Australia. A pilot study involving 5,000 women was carried out in 2013-2014. The trial will involve recruiting 76,300 women from primary health clinics. Women aged 25-69, attending for cervical screening or for routine follow-up will be invited to participate in the 2-arm trial. A liquid-based cytology (LBC) sample will be taken from consenting women and sent to VCS Pathology. Women will be randomised in a 1:2 parallel group allocation to LBC and HPV arms using randomisation with the minimisation procedure, with stratification by birth cohort according to whether offered HPV vaccination in Australia's national publicly-funded HPV vaccination program (date of birth >=July 1st 1980 and <1st July 1980). In the LBC (active control) arm, women will undergo 2.5 yearly image read cytology screening with reflex HPV triage testing for low grade cytology. In the HPV (intervention) arm women will undergo 5 yearly HPV screening with partial genotyping enabling separate identification of HPV16 and HPV18 and referral of this group for diagnostic evaluation, and secondary randomisation of "intermediate risk" women testing positive for oncogenic HPV (but not HPV 16 or 18) to either image read LBC screening or dual-stained (DS) cytology testing with p16/Ki67. The laboratory reports issued to practitioners will specify the recommended management for women, according to study arm and test results.Participating women will be flagged and clinical outcomes will be tracked via the Compass Register. Data linkage between the Compass Register and HPV vaccination records held on the Australian Immunisation Register will be performed in order to integrate vaccination and screening histories for trial participants. Participants will be actively followed for an anticipated 5 years from the time of recruitment and the primary outcome is based on the total cumulative detection of CIN3+ after exit testing at 5 years. The anticipated study completion date of March 2027 takes into consideration the final migration of participants to the National Cancer Screening Register and allows for two years to follow-up any intermediate risk results occurring in the last of the recruited trial participants.
The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of integrated boost radiation therapy when given with concurrent chemotherapy (cisplatin).
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare granisetron (when given through a patch) to ondansetron (when taken by mouth) for reducing nausea and vomiting in women with cervical, endometrial, or vaginal cancer having chemoradiation. Granisetron and ondansetron are designed to help reduce nausea and vomiting.
This will be a multi-institution, single-arm, open-label, phase I/II trial. Eligible patients will have pathologically-proven T1b-3b, N0/1, M0 epithelial carcinoma of the cervix. We hypothesize that sorafenib in combination with chemotherapy and radiotherapy may have anti-tumor activity in patients with cervical cancer. Sorafenib has not previously been combined with conventional RT-CT to treat cervix cancer.
The anti-tumor activity of cetuximab prior to chemoradiotherapy and the safety and tolerability of cetuximab with concurrent chemoradiation will be determined in women with locally advanced or metastatic cervical carcinoma.
