Development of a patient reported outcome measure (PROM) for ovarian cancer patients receiving combined surgery and radiotherapy
This single-center, prospective study was conducted to investigate the efficacy and safety of palliative surgery after translational therapy in the treatment of metastatic gastric cancer. The primary endpoint was 2-year overall survival (OS) rate. Secondary endpoints were median OS, progression-free survival (PFS), 1-year OS, adverse events (AE), severe AE, the quality of life (QOL) and treatment cost.
Transdermal granisetron has been shown to as effective as oral/ intravenous granisetron when administered with or without dexamethasone. However, it has not been evaluated specifically against the delayed response of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in comparison with palonosetron, as the complete response for the delayed phase was not reported in the comparative study by Seol et al (Support Care Cancer 2016;24:945-952). Thus, transdermal granisetron needs to be compared with palonosetron as part of dual and triple therapy in the delayed phase of CINV. This investigator-initiated study aims to compare the efficacy of granisetron transdermal patch and palonosetron combined with NK-1 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone in the prevention of delayed CINV in Chinese breast cancer patients who received high emetic or moderate emetic chemotherapy.
The treatment of distant metastasis is a key challenge for nasopharyngeal carcinoma because of poor outcomes, among which, chemotherapy is the cornerstone. However, many studies reported the use of different chemotherapy regimens to prolong the survival of metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, while few of them focused on how to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy or improve the life quality of patients. Blocking the immune checkpoint is one of the effective strategies of tumor immunotherapy. Thus, we sought to find a proper chemotherapy regimen combined with PD-1 antibody JS001.
Children aged 2-12 years scheduled to receive moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy were randomly assigned to arm-A (fosaprepitant) or arm-B (aprepitant). Children recruited to arm-A received intravenous granisetron plus dexamethasone followed by fosaprepitant infusion. Children recruited to arm-B received the same drugs as those given to children in arm-A, except that fosaprepitant was substituted with aprepitant. Granisetron and dexamethasone were given continuously until 48 hours after completion of chemotherapy. The primary end point of the study was to determine the proportion of patients who achieved a CR, defined as no vomiting, no retching, and no use of rescue medication, the proportion of patients who achieved a CR during the acute phase (0-24 hours) after administration of the last dose of chemotherapy. Secondary end points were the proportion of patients who achieved a CR during the 24-120 hours (delayed phase) and overall after administration of the last dose of chemotherapy.
Phase I/II Randomized Clinical Trial to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic and efficacy of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 hyperimmune serum. The study will include patients at early stage of COVID-19 with increased risk for severe disease due to underlying medical conditions to determine the utility of an equine heterologous serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 to avoid progression to a severe COVID-19
This is a multicenter, randomized controlled, prospective clinical trial. The objective is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab maintenance therapy in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most limiting side effects of chemotherapy and often leads to adaptations in the protocol of the chemotherapy including dose reduction or even discontinuation of treatment. In general, the symptoms of CIPN are sensory, often distributed in a "stocking and glove" manner, and include pain, tingling, and numbness. CIPN has a marked negative influence on quality of life of patients and their families. It may result in serious limitations in daily functioning and affect the enjoyment, social relationships, and ability to perform work. Current management of CIPN (i.e. prevention and treatment) includes dose reduction or delay of chemotherapy cycles and treatment discontinuation. Unfortunately, this reduces the chance of an effective cancer treatment. Current guidelines of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) on the Prevention and Management of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy do not conclusively recommend any agent for the prevention of CIPN. Due to the scarcity of drugs that are effective for preventing and treating CIPN, the distress of patients who suffer from CIPN, and the major societal and economic costs, new approaches and effective treatment strategies are required. The proposed trial is a parallel, double blind, placebo controlled, randomised, phase III superiority trial, aiming to determine whether treatment with SMP prevents incidence of or reduces the severity symptoms of paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy, as compared to placebo.
This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter phase III clinical trial of Yiqi Wenjing prescriptions for Preventing Oxaliplatin-induced Peripheral Neuropathy.
