Filter by:With this prospective, observational study, we would like to investigate the effect of instillation therapy using BCG or mitomycin C on short- and long-term irritative and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms using validated questionnaires. The study will objectify the lower urinary tract symptoms and thereby provide better recommendations for therapy with mitomycin C or BCG.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in resectable colorectal cancer liver metastasis patients.The main question it aims to answer is whether the 3-year progression-free survival rate (PFS) of "watching and waiting" is non-inferior to adjuvant chemotherapy in postoperative ctDNA-negative resectable colorectal cancer liver metastasis patients.Participants will undergo ctDNA testing after resection of colorectal cancer liver metastasis, and will be randomly assigned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy or "watching and waiting" treatment strategy. The researchers will compare the outcomes between the two groups to see if the PFS between the two groups is similar.
The goal of this single arm clinical trial is to learn about sequential S-1 adjuvant therapy in patient wich locally advanced gastric cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: • The efficacy and safety of S-1 adjuvant therapy, following D2 radical surgery and DS(Docetaxel + S-1) adjuvant chemotherapy. All patients with locally advanced gastric cancer will received D2 radical surgery, 6 cycles of DS chemotherapy, and sequential S-1 chemotherapy up to 1 year postoperation.
The goal of this clinical trial] is to compare in resectable stage T3-4N2 colorectal cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: whether the use of targeted therapy in combination with adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with improved disease-free survival (DFS) compared to adjuvant chemotherapy alone.
Caloric intake is a determining factor in patients with hematological malignancies and hospitalized for prolonged aplasia following chemotherapy. The nutritional supplement is administered either parenterally or enterally through the placement of a nasogastric sonde (NGS). This last option has shown its advantage compared to parenteral nutrition in terms of preventing infections, the incidence of graft-versus-host disease in allograft patients, and the quality of resumption of oral nutrition during of returning home. NGS allows the administration of an intake of 2000 calories/day, deemed necessary to mitigate the risk of undernutrition in patients hospitalized for more than 3 weeks and in the majority of cases unable to eat enough food mainly due to chemotherapy-induced mucositis. . The choice between enteral feeding by NGS and parenteral nutrition is the subject of controversial studies, with each team choosing one of the two options. The installation of the NGS is often recognized as a traumatic gesture for patients but also invasive by caregivers. The patient's anxiety, the intrusive and traumatic nature of the NGS can sometimes result in a failure of the gesture, a secondary refusal of the patient, or a reluctance of the caregiver to proceed with the gesture. Since 2013, NGS have been placed with the assistance of the nurse who practices hypnosis in the hematology department of the Rennes University Hospital. This invites the patient to pose his SNG without local anesthesia and in a completely autonomous way. The patient is thus able to place the NGS again if necessary during his hospitalization, and during subsequent hospitalizations. A retrospective and monocentric study carried out at the University Hospital of Rennes in 38 patients showed that all were able to perform NGS independently thanks to the hypnotic approach. It was observed a real comfort for the patient, and moreover this technique did not add extra work for the staff. The patient becomes autonomous and actor of his care.
This prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) is designed to provide high level evidence describing the non-inferiority of radical cystectomy (RC) alone versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) plus RC on survival outcomes of patients with a diagnostic transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBt) of non-metastatic muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) (T2-T4 N0 M0) and non-radiologic or endoscopic residual tumor after a maximal TURBt (cT0). Our hypothesis is that performing NAC in the absence of residual disease, after a maximal TURBt, has no survival benefit over performing an early cystectomy. Since no downstaging could be achieved in patients with no residual tumor into the bladder, the benefits of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in this setting could be not significant and it might turn into unnecessary toxicity and a substantial delay to surgical treatment.
This study is a phase III, multicenter, prospective randomized controlled clinical study comparing the efficacy of non-surgical esophageal squamous cell carcinoma with radical chemoradiotherapy and radical chemoradiotherapy combined with consolidation chemotherapy. The survival time and side effects of patients were observed and compared.
By virtue of an increased strategic use of cytotoxic and biological agents, and more options for locoregional treatment, the survival of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) has improved considerably in the past decades. The personalized approach to systemic treatment is further aided by the use of complementary molecular biomarkers. However, the evolutionary dynamics of mCRC, a disease harnessed by multiple adaptive genetic alterations towards its final stages, poses a particular challenge to single-sample biomarker analyses and standardized linear treatment protocols. The aim of the On-treatment biomarkers in metastatic ColorectAL cancer for Life (On-CALL) study is to generate further knowledge on the evolutionary progression of mCRC during treatment, and to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic failure still seen in a substantial number of patients. The On-CALL study is a prospective, single-arm observational study. All patients diagnosed with synchronous mCRC treated with curative intent at Skåne University Hospital will be invited to participate. Clinical and histopathological data will be compiled at study entry. An individual tissue microarray block with samples from resected primary tumours and metastases representing the full extent of the tumour spread will be constructed for each patient. Blood samples will be drawn for biomarker analyses at multiple time points prior to, during and after systemic treatment. DNA sequencing of tumour tissue and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) will be performed to define the spatial clonal landscape in primary tumours and metastases, as well as over time.
Inetetamab (Cipterbin) is a newly marketed anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody with amino acid modified Fc region and enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) effect. There was no robust evidence evaluating the combination of inetetamab with pertuzumab and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (paclitaxel + carboplatin) in the neoadjuvant setting. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of inetetamab + pertuzumab+paclitaxel + carboplatin (TCbIP) as a neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimen in the treatment of patients with locally advanced HER2-positive breast cancer.
The mechanism of action of cidabenamide and the advantages of vincristine metronomic chemotherapy make it possible to combine the two drugs. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a prospective study to investigate the value of chidamide in combination with vincristine metronomic treatment for triple-negative breast cancer.
