Filter by:This clinical trial assesses an effective and translatable care model to understand and reduce the adverse effects that cancer patients experience during their treatment therapies and thereby enhance their well-being and quality of life. Excessive immune activation can affect multiple organs with the most common adverse effects being skin rash, diarrhea, colitis, fatigue, hypothyroidism and anorexia. A restrictive calorie diet, mostly of fat and complex carbohydrates, will mimic fasting and increase resiliency to protect patients from the adverse effects of cancer treatments, by managing the adverse side effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) treatments in select cancer patients. The fast mimicking diet (FMD) (Xentigen®) is a calorie restrictive, low-calorie, low-protein, high complex carbohydrate, high-fat diet. The FMD program is a plant-based diet program designed to attain fasting-like effects while providing both macro- and micronutrients to minimize the burden of fasting and adverse effects. The FMD consists of 100% ingredients which are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) and comprises mainly of vegetable-based soups and broths, energy bars, energy drinks, cracker snacks, herbal teas, and supplements. Following a FMD may reduce the adverse effects that some cancer patients experience while following immunotherapy treatments.
To explore mechanisms of immunotherapy resistance and relation to changes in the TME before and after PD-1 blockade combined with chemotherapy
Staging of kidney cancer is primarily achieved by computerized tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). If a patient is found to have limited metastatic disease, surgical removal or radiation therapy could be considered in order to control the majority of the disease. However, if metastases are more widespread, systemic (drug) therapy may be the preferred management option. The identification of additional metastatic sites using more sensitive imaging modalities therefore has the potential to alter management, and this remains an unmet need in the field. This study will investigate the utility of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen). Kidney cancer of the clear cell subtype has demonstrated high expression of PSMA, making it a disease in which PSMA-targeted PET imaging could help to identify occult metastatic disease.
This is a multicenter, phase 2b, open-label, non-randomized, clinical trial to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of intra-lesional BO-112 in patients with resectable primary low and high risk basal cell carcinoma. - primary endpoint is complete visual and pathological response [at surgery] on patient level assessed by central review - secondary endpoints are 1. Occurrence of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and AEs leading to discontinuation or death on patient level. 2. Pathological response [at surgery] on patient level assessed by the investigator and central review, respectively, and visual response [during the study and at surgery] on patient level assessed by the investigator and central review, respectively. 3. Recurrence [at 12 and 24 months] after surgery on patient level assessed by the investigator.
This Phase II trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of Serplulimab combined with S1 chemotherapy in patients with inoperable, locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma after concurrent chemoradiation. The primary endpoint is the one-year progression-free survival rate. Secondary measures include clinical response rates, overall survival, duration of response, and safety profiles. Exploratory goals focus on the potential of biomarkers like PD-L1 and ctDNA to predict treatment outcomes. Treatment involves initial chemoradiation followed by consolidation with Serplulimab and S1, continuing for up to 12 months or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
This study will monitor and evaluate patient and personnel safety and toxicity during the implementation and evaluation of Pressurized IntraThoracic Aerosol Chemotherapy (PITAC) directed treatment. Furthermore, this study will focus on Quality of Life questionnaires, LENT score, and evaluate pain and breathlessness using af visual analogue scales (VAS).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and quality of life scores of patients with HER2-expressing platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer treated with the combination therapy regimen of RC48 plus platinum with or without bevacizumab.
A prospective multicenter, single-arm phase II study enrolling treatment-naïve patients with metastatic pulmonary large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC)
This clinical trial evaluates the impact of an education and navigation support tool (ENST) on patient and caregiver participation in care coordination for bladder cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), to other places in the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Patients with advanced bladder cancer tend to be older, have multiple medical conditions and often have poor access to health care. An ENST may be an effective method to improve participation in treatment decision-making and care planning among patients with locally advanced, metastatic and unresectable bladder cancer and their caregivers.
This study is a multicenter, non-interventional, retrospective, medical chart review of locally advanced or metastatic (la/m) Urothelial Cancer UC participants who were prescribed avelumab as first line maintenance therapy after a platinum-based chemotherapy. This study aims to understand the index date (i.e., at the initiation of avelumab maintenance therapy) demographics and clinical characteristics of participants with locally advanced/metastatic Urothelial Carcinoma in Japan, and to describe their treatment patterns and outcomes.
