Filter by:The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab injection (JS001) given before and after concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial was conducted evaluating the efficacy of Oligo-Fucoidan with the molecular weight ranged from 500 to 800 Da. as a supplemental therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The previous study results demonstrate the advantages of Oligo-Fucoidan in improving the disease control rate. The previous study might provide insights into the development of cancer treatments, particularly in the combination of natural or herbal products with chemotarget agents.
Peritoneal metastasis is a common pattern in advanced gastric cancer leading to a terminal condition in a very short time. Whatever recent progress regarding systemic chemotherapy using multi drugs association median survival is limited to 6 months with altered quality of life (QoL) after 4 months for all patients. We postulated that a new innovative health technology for delivering intraperitoneal pressurized aerosol of chemotherapy (Doxorubicin and Cisplatin) during laparoscopy can transform that situation offering to double the survival with QoL preservation. Interestingly, PIPAC procedure is made to be applied repeatedly, every 4 to 6 weeks. This therapeutic strategy allows to improved Intra Peritoneal (IP) drugs impregnation and maintained Intra-Veinous (IV) chemotherapy meanwhile. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate and compare 24-month progression free-survival in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric cancer treated either with IV chemotherapy and Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) or with IV chemotherapy alone, with preservation of quality of life.
This trial is a multi-center, double-blinded, randomized (1:1) clinical trial. The aim is to compare the postoperative infection rate between the 3 days postoperative AMP group and the placebo group in HCC patients undergoing hepatectomy.
This phase II/III trial studies how well a reduced dose of radiation therapy works with nivolumab compared to cisplatin in treating patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer that is early in its growth and may not have spread to other parts of the body (early-stage), and is not associated with smoking. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial is being done to see if a reduced dose of radiation therapy and nivolumab works as well as standard dose radiation therapy and cisplatin in treating patients with oropharyngeal cancer.
Endometrial carcinoma (EC) is one of the most common gynecologic malignancy in China. EC is staged surgically according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) system, including depth of myometrial invasion, cervical invasion, and the presence of lymph node metastases. The benefit of lymph node resection on the prognosis of low-risk EC patients is not definite. An accurate staging method preoperative is needed.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of simultaneous hybrid PET/MRI in EC preoperative staging.
This trial collects clinical information and tissue and blood samples from patients with breast cancer that has come back or is stage IV. Collecting clinical information and biospecimen samples to create a registry may help doctors better understand the mechanism of tumor spread and determine why people respond differently to specific cancer treatments.
This phase III trial studies how well pembrolizumab works compared to standard of care observation in treating patients with stage I-III Merkel cell cancer that has been completely removed by surgery (resected). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess whether Acelarin (NUC-1031) is superior to gemcitabine in terms of overall survival for treatment of patients with metastatic pancreatic carcinoma. In addition disease progression, quality of life and comparative safety will be evaluated. Secondary objectives are to compare between the two treatment groups the following: - Progression Free Survival (PFS) - Radiological Response and disease control rate - Toxicity and safety - Quality of Life Additional, exploratory objectives are to discover and validate possible biomarkers to predict additional benefit of Acelarin (NUC-1031) over gemcitabine alone.
This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy works in treating patients with kidney cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue.
