Filter by:Studies have shown that people who are more physically fit prior to surgery do better after surgery. For this reason, it may be helpful for people who are going to have abdominal surgery for cancer to exercise before surgery to increase fitness. In this study, patients will be assigned to either maintain their current activity, or increase activity to 5 days a week, 40 minutes per day, of either continuous moderate activity or intervals of moderate and vigorous activity (three groups). All participants will wear an Apple watch, and participants in the exercise groups will use a smartphone application to get feedback on activity and encouragement to reach activity goals.
Evaluation of the colonic mucosa with a high definition colonoscope (EPKi7010 video processor). The endoscopy images will be seen on a 27inch, flat-panel, high-definition LCD monitor (Radiance™ ultraSC-WU27-G1520 model) only by one expert endoscopist, randomly assigned. The number, location, and polyps' features (Paris classification) will be recorded by the operator. If a polyp is detected, the endoscopist will remove the polyp endoscopically with a cold snare. The same patient will be submitted to a second, the same session, computed aided real-time colonoscopy using the DISCOVERY, AI-assisted polyp detector. Colonoscopy will be performed by a same-level-of-expertise operator in comparison to the initial procedure. Any polyp or lesion detected with the AI system will be recorded and endoscopically removed and considered as a missed lesion from standard colonoscopy.
This is a single arm phase II study of adjuvant intra-dermal NA DC vaccine combined with intravenous nivolumab in patients with resectable HCC (group A) or CRLM (group B) planned for curative surgery (with/without local ablation).
Long course radiotherapy plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by resection total mesorecta excision has accepted widespread recognized in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). Tislelizumab, an anti-PD1(programmed death 1) humanized IgG4 (Immunoglomin G4) monoclonal antibody, has been demonstrated with clinical activity and is approved for treating recurrent/refractory classical Hodgkin lymphoma and locally advanced/metastatic urothelial carcinoma in China. The aim of This NCRT-PD-1-LARC trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus tislelizumab followed by total mesorecta excision for LARC. This NCRT-PD-1-LARC trial will be a prospective, multicenter and phase Ⅱ clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of LARC patients treated with long course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus tislelizumab followed by total mesorecta excision. It will consecutively enroll 50 stage II/III LARC patients (cT3N0M0 and cT1-3N1-2M0) with the tumor distal location ≤ 10cm from anal verge at 7 centers in China. The enrolled patients will receive long course radiotherapy (50 Gy/25 f, 2 Gy/f, 5 days/week) and three 21-day cycles capecitabine (1000 mg/m2, bid, po, day1-14) plus three 21-day cycles tislelizumab (200 mg, iv.gtt, day8), followed by total mesorecta excision 6-12 week after the end of radiotherapy. The primary efficacy endpoint will be the pathological complete response (pCR) rate, which is defined as absence of viable tumor cells in the primary tumor and lymph nodes.
Patients with digestive tract malignancy often experience severe and unremitting abdominal pain that negatively affects physical, emotional, and social function, as well as health related quality of life (HRQOL). Therapeutic virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a promising and evidence-based treatment modality for cancer pain. Users of VR wear a pair of goggles with a close-proximity screen in front of the eyes that creates a sensation of being transported into lifelike, three-dimensional worlds. To date, VR has been limited to short-term clinical trials for cancer pain. Moreover, limited research exists on theory-based VR modalities beyond mere distraction, such as VR that employs acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with components of biofeedback and mindfulness. To bridge these gaps, this study seeks to: (1) assess the impact of immersive VR on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including pain, activity metrics, and opioid use among patients with visceral pain from a digestive tract malignancy; (2) assess differences in PROs, activity metrics, and opioid use between skills-based VR therapy vs. distraction VR therapy; and (3) determine patient-level predictors of VR treatment response in visceral cancer pain. To address these aims, the study will measure PROs and opioid use in 360 patients randomized among 3 groups and follow them for 60 days after enrollment: (1) an enhanced VR group receiving skills-based VR; (2) a distraction-based VR group receiving patient-selected VR videos; and (3) a VR sham control group using a VR headset with 2-D content. The results will inform best practices for the implementation of VR for visceral cancer pain management and guide selection of patient-tailored experiences.
The aim of the study is to determine if Serrated Poliposis Syndrome (SPS) patients with SPS criteria 2, with clearing phase achieved and without any advanced lesion or less than 5 relevant lesions at last colonoscopy have the same advanced neoplasia incidence in the surveillance colonoscopy at 2 or 3 years. Patients selected for the study will be randomised in two groups for the surveillance: group 1, surveillance with colonoscopy in two years; group 2, surveillance with colonoscopy in three years. Randomization will be done at the database program (RedCAP). All colonoscopies will be performed with high definition (HD) system and it will be the choice of the endoscopist whether to use chromoendoscopy with indigo carmine o virtual chromoendoscopy. Protocol bowel preparation will be recommended by each centre. Sedation will be prescribed and decided by the endoscopist during the examination. Data from all the resected and visualized lesions during the colonoscopy will be collected on the database. A pathologist familiarized with serrated lesions will be in charge of the sample analysis. Serrated lesions will be classified attending de WHO criteria for serrated lesions. The investigators define "advanced adenoma" as adenomas ≥10 mm with villous histology and/or with high grade of dysplasia (HGD). The investigators define "advanced SL" as any SL ≥10mm and any SL with dysplasia. The investigators also define "advanced neoplasia" as any colorectal cancer (CRC), any advanced adenoma or advanced Serrated Lesions (SL). Quality of bowel cleansing will be graded by each endoscopist following the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale. This scale evaluates each segment (ascending colon, transverse colon and descending colon) of the following form: 0 = segment of colon whose mucosa cannot be seen due to the existence of solid stools that cannot be eliminated; 1 = mucosa portion of a colonic segment that can be seen, but other areas of the colonic segment are not seen, either due to the presence of dirt, feces or opaque liquid; 2 = existence of small amount of dirt, small fragments of stool and / or opaque liquid, but the mucosa of the colonic segment can be seen well; 3 = all the mucosa of the colonic segment can be seen well without residual dirt, small traces of stool or opaque liquid. Patients with inadequate preparation (when in any segment the score is 0 or 1, or the total score is less than 6) will be excluded from the study. During colonoscopy all complications as post-polypectomy bleeding, perforation or cardio-respiratory events will be registered. Those complications will be considered if surgery or hospital admission is required.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether AGuIX (Activation and Guidance of Irradiation by X-ray) gadolinium-based nanoparticles make radiation work more effectively in the treatment of patients with brain metastases that are more difficult to control with stereotactic radiation alone.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of co-formulated pembrolizumab/quavonlimab versus other treatments in participants with MSI-H or dMMR Metastatic Stage IV Colorectal Cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and recommended dose(s) of BMS-986340 as monotherapy and in combination with nivolumab or docetaxel in participants with advanced solid tumors. This study is a first-in-human (FIH) study of BMS-986340 in participants with advanced solid tumors.
Immunotherapy has achieved significant therapeutic effect in DNA mismatch repair-deficient or microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) colorectal cancer (CRC). However, for proficient mismatch repair(pMMR)/microsatellite stable(MSS) CRC, the curative effect of PD-1 monoclonal antibody was poor and most of the data came from stage Ⅳ patients with distant metastasis. Among the whole CRC patients, more than eighty-five percent were pMMR/MSS CRC. It would be very inspiring when major CRC patients(pMMR/MSS) could be benefit from immunotherapy. For T4NxM0 CRC patients, R0 resection was difficult to achieve. If the patients could not got R0 resection, which means the tumors were almost destined to recurrent and patients life time were counting down. Whether combined treatment of mFOLFOX6+ Bevacizumab+PD-1 monoclonal antibody could maximize the curative effect was still unknown. This study aims to evaluate the effect and safety of mFOLFOX6+ Bevacizumab+PD-1 monoclonal antibody treatment combinations in patients with local advanced(T4NxM0) pMMR/MSS CRC.
