Filter by:Chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) is a common hematological toxicity in patients with solid tumors undergo chemotherapy, which can increase the risk of bleeding, prolong hospital stay, increase medical costs, and even lead to death in severe cases. The incidence and severity of CIT varies among different chemotherapy regimens. Recombinant human interleukin-11 (rhIL-11) and recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) have been approved for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia. Tumor patients are at high risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). In the clinical study of rhIL-11, it was found that the administration of rhIL-11 in healthy subjects caused an increase in the plasma concentration of vWF factor in the form of normal mults. The application of rhIL-11 in patients with myeloid leukemia can increase the concentration of α2 globulin, fibrinogen and prothrombin time. However, there have been no large-scale clinical studies at home and abroad to evaluate whether platelet raising therapy will increase the risk of thrombosis in chemotherapy patients with solid tumor. This study is aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of platelet upwelling therapy in patients with solid tumors undergoing chemotherapy.
Oxaliplatin(OXA) chemotherapy protocols are used in treatment of cancers like colorectal (CRC) and pancreatic cancer. OXA causes peripheral neuropathy which is considered treatment limiting factor. In recent studies, it shows that omeprazole(OME) has antioxidant effect and can inhibit organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) in kidney. So OME can protect against peripheral neuropathy induced by OXA through oxidative stress . Also OME activates extracellular-signal-regulated kinase(ERK) / mitogen activated protein kinase ( MAPK) pathway, so improves demyelinating symptoms.
This clinical trial tests how well phytocannabinoids (cannabidiol [CBD] and tetrahydrocannbinol [THC]) work in reducing chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) in breast and colon cancer survivors. Neuropathy is the most common neurological symptom reported by cancer patients due to treatment. A variety of pharmacologic treatments have been evaluated to alleviate CIPN symptoms; however, no definitive treatment has been found to successfully treat all the symptoms of CIPN. Therefore, investigators continue to seek other possible treatment options including cannabis. Phytocannabinoids may be a particularly useful intervention for cancer patients given the limited effective treatments for CIPN. In addition, cannabis-based medicines have become tremendously popular as both cancer patients and clinicians are seeking therapies with fewer potential risks of dependency and other side effects. This trial is being done to provide cancer patients and clinicians with reliable information to help guide their use of phytocannabinoids to manage the tremendous distress and pain experienced by many cancer patients, which impacts their long-term quality of life.
This is a real-world study with the largest sample size investigating the pathological tumor and lymph node responses to neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer to date. Patients with initially unresectable NSCLC underwent immunochemotherapy and response to treatment was assessed after every two treatment cycles. Clinicopathologic features of patients including epidemiological data, clinical manifestations, operation strategies, pathological findings, and prognostic information were recorded and evaluated.
This is an investigator-initiated, single-arm, exploratory clinical study.The study population consisted of non-operative Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer . The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Following Immunotherapy Plus Chemotherapy for Patients With Locally-advanced Esophageal Squamous Cell Cancer.
The investigators would like to conduct a prospective, multicenter, two-armed trial (RCT with follow-up). Patients will be recruited from 7 centers (CH/D). All patients (and their guardians) scheduled to receive chemotherapy containing either a platinum derivate or vinca-alkaloid, will be asked to participate. Willing patients will then be randomized either into an intervention group or a control group. Patients in the intervention group will perform a standardized, age-adjusted, specific playful sensorimotor training (SMT) program twice a week for the duration of their medical therapy, in addition to usual care, while the control group receives treatment as usual. The CG will be given the opportunity to participate in the intervention after therapy. Data will be assessed at 3-4 time points: Prior to chemotherapy (baseline T0), after 12 weeks (T1), after completion of therapy for children that are treated >3 months (Tp) and after 12 months follow-up (T3). Additionally, status of Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) reported symptoms will be monitored twice in-between (6 weeks). The investigators hypothesize that less children in the intervention group will develop symptoms of CIPN (TNS score) with its debilitating side-effects. Furthermore, children in the intervention group will be able to maintain relevant motor and sensory functions and their associated physical functions which will enable them to receive their planned medical therapy but also to stay on the age-appropriate motor development level, improve their quality life and enhance social reintegration after therapy.
The study conducted on cancer patients is designed to test safety and efficacy of limb hypothermia in cancer patients using the new Paxman Limb Cryocompression System (PLCS). Ultimately this will lead to the development of a therapy regime that will help to prevent chemotherapy-induced neuropathy in cancer patients.
To determine whether older patients who underwent esophagectomy had better outcome survival than those who were non-surgically treated.
With the prolongation of the overall survival time of patients with malignant tumors, the influence of oxaliplatin on the quality of life of patients with malignant tumors has gradually become prominent. Studies have shown that acetyl-L-carnitine can improve the energy metabolism of neurotransmitters and inhibit the release of glutamine in the intersynaptic space to reduce pain. Large-scale clinical studies have approved it as a treatment for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Some small model studies have also found that acetyl-L-carnitine has a definite therapeutic effect on peripheral neurological lesions induced by chemotherapy. The aim of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of acetyl-L-carnitine in the prevention of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy. The study was divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was given acetyl-L-carnitine orally, and the researchers regularly evaluated the symptoms and electrophysiological indicators related to peripheral neuropathy. If there is a severe adverse reaction related to acetyl-L-carnitine, the drug should be discontinued and the symptomatic treatment should be given. After the completion of the study, the statistical calculation and analysis will be used to estimate whether the preventive and therapeutic effect of acetyl-L-carnitine on oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy was statistically significant.
A total of 90 patients with bone and soft tissue malignancies who planned to receive chemotherapy were enrolled in this study in Henan Cancer Hospital. They were divided into experimental group and control group for anxiety and depression value 24 hours before chemotherapy, anxiety and depression value on the day of chemotherapy, anxiety value and depression value 24 hours after chemotherapy. To evaluate the effects of watching Tik Tok on perichemotherapy anxiety and depression in patients with bone and soft tissue malignant tumors who were to receive chemotherapy, and to evaluate the effects of watching Tik Tok on the incidence of chemotherapy-related complications in patients with bone and soft tissue malignant tumors who were to receive chemotherapy.
