Filter by:FRACTal study is the first exploration of detection of FSHR as a blood biomarker for the diagnosis of cancer. A first cohort will explore several common (e.g. breast, prostate) or rare (e.g. uveal melanoma) cancers, that are frequently treated at Institut Curie. This first cohort will include n=10 patients per histological type except for breast cancer (n=50). 100 patients are expected in this cohort. A second cohort will explore the more promising histological type (if any) in term of incidence of detection. 100 patients are expected for this second cohort.
The purpose of this study is to determine if naloxegol can be used in the treatment of opioid-induced constipation in patients with cancer and pain. This phase 4 study consists of a two week randomized double blind period followed by a two week open-label period.
Although treatments significantly increase the life expectancy of cancer patients, their quality of life is more or less reduced. The development of supportive care, such as physical activity, is one of the tools that should be promoted to maintain quality of life and reduce treatment side effects, including fatigue. This study was developed to understand the different biopsychosocial effects of a physical activity program carried out with patients suffering from various types of cancers, and to facilitate and improve the implementation of this type of activity in health care facilities. Study randomized, controlled, cross-over intervention evaluating a 12-week supervised and adapted physical activity program. Participants were assigned to one of two groups: Group A which first follows a 12-week physical activity program, then undergoes usual care for 12 additional weeks, or Group B, which continues usual care for 12 weeks (control group) and then starts the physical activity program for 12 additional weeks. Quality of life (with questionnaires for 2 groups) , well-being, fatigue, physical capacity, leptin concentration, goal setting and level of physical activity are evaluated during this protocol. By understanding the multidimensional effects of a physical activity program for various cancer types, depending on the time of proposing the program, by evaluating the correlations among all these variables, and by evaluating long-term effects, the IPCAPA study contributes to identifying the physical activity program which will be effective, viable and feasible for all patients undergoing chemotherapy, whatever the type of cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to match genomic aberrations in tumor cells at time of relapse to rationally designed combinations of molecularly targeted agents. This study will be done in two parts: Part I: Tumor will be accessed at study entry via a biopsy and subjected to deep sequencing to identify protocol-specified biomarkers for therapy assignment. Part II: If the tumor contains a genetic change defined by the study as being actionable, and other criteria are met, participants will be assigned to therapy based upon the genetic changes identified in the tumor biopsy.
The primary objectives of this study are: Part 1 - Vevorisertib as single agent: To assess the safety and tolerability of vevorisertib in participants with advanced solid tumors with v-Akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog (AKT) 1, 2, 3 genetic alterations, activating phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) mutations, phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN)-null, or other known actionable PTEN mutations; Part 2 - Vevorisertib in combination with other anti-cancer agents: To assess the safety and tolerability of vevorisertib in combination with paclitaxel or fulvestrant in participants with advanced, inoperable, metastatic and/or recurrent solid tumors with phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) / PTEN actionable mutations and/or AKT genetic alterations.
Researchers want to compare proton stopping ratios, used for proton beam therapy planning, calculated based on single energy CT and dual energy CT images; with the intension of improve upon the proton range determination.
The purpose of this study is to determine if erlotinib given orally along with concurrent palliative irradiation to lung cancer improves local control compared to those treated with radiotherapy alone.
This is a prospective case control study. Participants will be enrolled as case subjects or control subjects, depending upon the gonadotoxicity of their chemoradiation therapy. The chemotherapeutic regimens will be determined per standard of care. Participants will receive GnRHa (Lupron) as standard of care for menstrual suppression. Blood draws and pelvic ultrasound at baseline, 6 months and 12 months post completion of chemotherapy are the interventions. The duration of the study will be approximately 12 months.The study time includes the time necessary for completion of most cancer treatments in this population, which approximates 8-12 months, and time to allow complete excretion of the Lupron from the systemic circulation with reliable testing of the hypothalamic pituitary ovarian (H-P-O) axis. The results of the study will be used to guide a larger study evaluating the efficacy of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) as ovarian preservation therapy in young subjects receiving chemoradiation.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether skeletal muscle mitochondrial function is altered in patients with head and neck cancer compared to healthy controls.
The study drug, GSK2820151, is a Bromodomain (BRD) and Extra-Terminal (BET) inhibitor arising from a distinct structural class. GSK2820151 potently inhibits tumor growth in vitro and in vivo in animal models. This first time in human (FTIH), open-label, dose escalation study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and preliminary clinical activity of GSK2820151 in subjects with advanced or recurrent solid tumors. The objective is to determine the safety, tolerability and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of GSK2820151 in subjects 18 years or older with advanced or recurrent solid tumors. Eligible subjects with advanced or recurrent solid tumors will be enrolled in the dosing cohorts until MTD is established. All subjects will receive study drug. Subjects may continue treatment in the study until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The duration of study will depend on recruitment rates and the timing of subjects' duration on study (withdrawal rates due to toxicity or progression). It is anticipated that approximately 30 to 50 subjects will be enrolled.
