Filter by:This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of bexarotene in preventing breast cancer in patients at high risk for breast cancer. Bexarotene belongs to a class of drugs that are called rexinoids, and it may reduce the incidence of breast tumors.
This randomized phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of endoxifen hydrochloride in treating participants who are undergoing breast surgery. Endoxifen hydrochloride may treat or reduce the risk of breast cancer.
The purpose of this research is to assess the safety and effectiveness of circumferential radiofrequency ablation (RFA) to the anal canal using the BarrxTM Ablation System to destroy anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL). The BarrxTM Ablation System used in this study comprises an RFA generator (Barrx™ FLEX) and the BarrxTM Anorectal Wand. The generator and wand are cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human use and the wand is specifically cleared for treatment of anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN). AIN is a precancerous condition. HSIL is an advanced form of AIN. The presence of HSIL has traditionally warranted treatment. RFA has been shown in many studies to effectively and safely destroy precancerous cells in a condition called Barrett's esophagus, which is a precancerous condition of the esophagus (the swallowing tube). Recent studies have shown that RFA may offer the same benefits for those with HSIL in the anal canal. In particular, ablation of the entire circumference of the canal seems to reduce recurrence of HSIL in other locations of the anal canal. This study will last between 12 to 15 months. Subjects will be required to undergo 5 to 8 study visits as outlined below that are carried out by the study doctors or the physician assistant. Most visits will last approximately one hour. Some may be shorter and some may be longer. Up to seventy (70) volunteers will participate in this study at several locations.
This pilot phase IIa trial studies how well exemestane works in treating patients with complex atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium/endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia or low grade endometrial cancer. Exemestane may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
The LEEP conization is commonly used for cervical pathologies treatment. The techniques for hemostasis usually used are: cautery, Monsel's solution and vaginal pack. Actually, there is no consensus about the best technique and there is not much information that validates the use of some of that. To compare the use or not of vaginal pack as methods of hemostasis after LEEP conization for management of cervical lesions.
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of the experimental drug, BLS-ILB-E710c, in patients with Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia 2/3 (CIN2/3). 2/3 of participants will receive the experimental drug, while 1/3 of participants will receive placebo.
Avmacol is an over-the-counter dietary supplement containing broccoli seed and sprout extracts in tablet form, hypothesized to activate protective cellular pathways including detoxication. In this study, participants who have been curatively treatment for head and neck cancer, will take Avmacol twice a day for 3 months.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well an IRX-2 Regimen works in treating women with cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia 3 or squamous vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia 3. The IRX-2 Regimen consists of a single dose of cyclophosphamide, followed by 21 days of indomethacin, zinc-containing multivitamins, and omeprazole. IRX-2, a human cell-derived biologic with multiple active cytokine components, may act as an immune booster to stimulate the immune system. Giving cyclophosphamide and IRX-2 may work better at treating cervical squamous intraepithelial neoplasia or squamous vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia.
Cervical cancer is the third most frequent neoplasm in Brazilian women (estimated risk of 15.33 cases / 100,000 women by 2014), behind breast and colorectal cancer. This high incidence is explained by the pre-neoplastic lesions of the cervix being probably related to the practice of unsafe sex and to a poor local immune response against HPV. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection affects people of any age, although it is more common in young people, probably due to increased sexual activity in that period. The association between high-risk HPV and anus neoplasm in men and women with immunodeficiency or immunosuppression has been confirmed and measures related to surveillance are standardized. In patients without immunodeficiencies, this association is still unclear, which may contribute to the lack of adequate standards to diagnose HPV and prevent cancer of the anus. The frequency of the cancer of anus previously considered low, is currently in considerable elevation, mainly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The causal relationship between this virus and cancer of the cervix and the anus is established. These facts have motivated the inclusion of this disease as STD, which justifies the necessity of adopting surveillance measures in the clinics of sexual, gynecological and urological diseases. Cancer of the anus, when diagnosed in the early stage, makes healing possible with less aggressive treatments, but in the advanced stage, abdominoperineal amputation is necessary. Concerned about possible anal cancer, some gynecologists have referred patients with genital HPV to search for anal infection.
This study evaluates the use of topical ABI-1968 cream, in the treatment of cervical precancerous lesions in adult women.
