Filter by:To learn if peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) can help to improve pain in participants with CIPN.
The investigators aim to determine the effect of cryotherapy wraps plus compression therapy (henceforth referred to as cryocompression) versus cryotherapy wraps alone on the incidence and degree of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients with gynecologic cancer using a noninferiority design. The investigators also aim to determine the effect of cryocompression versus cryotherapy on patient tolerability and patient and staff satisfaction.
The HiToP ® 191 PNP an certified device licensed for the treatment of neuropathia. The home-based treatment is to be performed only in accordance with the approved Investigational Plan (CIP) on subjects who have signed an informed consent form. Device use is limited to the approved study investigators. The study is multicenter, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled. Primary Objective: Comparison of the change of paresthesias from baseline until end of therapy between the two patient groups, assessed by questionnaires Secondary Objectives: Further symptoms of neuropathy as well as on health-related quality of life.
Conduct a retrospective and prospective study to confirm the association between blood cells counts and the efficacy and safety in immunochemotherapy in patients with advanced esophageal cancer.
Chemotherapy is a common treatment for treating cancer. Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is nausea and vomiting that occurs after chemotherapy. Complete protection of standard antiemetic drugs against CINV symptoms in children and adolescents receiving moderately and strongly emetogenic chemotherapy drugs was less than 50%. The side effects of chemotherapy in the form of CINV are so unpleasant that chemotherapy causes extreme anxiety and stress. The psychological characteristics of adolescents who have a greater perception of the changes that occur cause more frequent anxiety which can increase the risk of CINV. Acupuncture with laserpuncture modality is a non-pharmacological therapy that has a good effect on CINV symptoms in adolescents. This research was conducted for the first time in Brazil in 2019, while in Indonesia there has never been any research on this matter. So it is hoped that this research will be the first research in Indonesia to prove that the effect of laserpuncture plays a role in CINV symptoms in adolescents and can be an additional treatment in standard therapy for CINV problems in adolescents.
The goal of this randomized controlled study is to assess the effect of guided imagery on chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting in pediatric hematology-oncology patients. Participants will receive either guided imagery+routine care or routine care. The researchers will compare nausea and vomiting and vital signs between groups.
Chemotherapy is an important treatment strategy for gynecological malignancies, such as ovarian cancer, advanced endometrial cancer, cervical cancer. Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) is one of the most common chemotherapy-related hematologic toxicities and can increase the risk of bleeding, prolong hospital stays, increase healthcare costs, and, in severe cases, death. It can lead to a reduction in the intensity of chemotherapy doses, delay the next cycle of chemotherapy, or even termination of treatment, thereby affecting the antitumor effect and adversely affecting the long-term survival of these patients. Literature and our data show that when patients develop grade II or worse CIT, the incidence of grade II and above CIT after the next cycle of chemotherapy is 85-92%. Hetrombopag is one of the thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA) that has been studied to explore its role in the treatment and prevention of CIT in multiple solid tumors. In order to find out the secondary prevention efficacy of CIT, it is planned to carry out this single-arm prospective study by recruiting 48 patients with gynecological malignancies with grade II CIT or above after chemotherapy, whose platelets has returned to normal after the routine clinical intervention, and then plan to have the next cycle of chemotherapy. The intervention strategy is taking hetrombopag 5mg/day within 24 hours after chemotherapy, then observe the incidence rate of grade II CIT. The endpoint of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of hetrombopag for preventing CIT in patients with gynaecological malignancies.
The purpose of the proposed study is to provide a clinical approach to chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) prophylaxis in cycle 2 of moderately emetogenic chemotherapy or highly emetogenic chemotherapy for patients who developed breakthrough CINV after cycle 1 based on the available data in the literature as well as the recommendations provided by established guidelines
This study aims to assess biomarkers and their related polymorphisms in the context of cancer-associated thromboembolism, with a particular focus on their interaction with the immune system. The roles of immune checkpoints, inflammatory and angiogenesis factors, as well as circulating immune cells will be elucidated. Additionally, our investigation extends to the exploration of long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) and genes associated with the coagulation vascular system. Initially, these aspects will be evaluated in the context of colorectal cancer, with the intention to expand our research to other solid tumors. The identification of these biomarkers and genetic factors holds the potential to revolutionize therapeutic approaches for patients with cancer-associated thromboembolism, shedding light on their chemotherapy resistance. The effectiveness of combining immunotherapy with targeted inhibitors like Palbociclib and anticoagulants such as Rivaroxaban, among other potential interventions, will be assessed. This study aims to make significant contributions to the understanding of these critical aspects, ultimately leading to the development of more effective treatment strategies for cancer patients.
This is a single center prospective observational cohort study that aims to: - examine and identify possible risk and susceptibility factors for the incidence and progression of chemotherapy-induced polyneuropathy (CIPN) in female patients primarily operated for early non-metastatic breast cancer who will receive adjuvant chemotherapy containing paclitaxel - test different neurophysiological methods for early detection of CIPN - explore changes that underlie the development of CIPN in relation to clinical presentations, neurophysiological assessment, including measures of small nerve fiber dysfunction, and possible biochemical, metabolic and genetic associations - explore the effects of CIPN in the patient's lifestyle and quality of life for up to 12 months after the initiation of treatment
