Filter by:A registry-based randomized phase II trial. A total of 46 patients with metastatic head and neck cancer on systemic therapy with oligoprogression to 1-5 extracranial lesions will be randomized using a 1:1 ratio to standard of care (begin next-line systemic therapy, best supportive care, continue current systemic line, based on treating physician decision) vs. receive stereotactic ablative radiotherapy to all oligoprogressive lesions while continuing their current systemic therapy.
This is a prospective, multi-national, non-interventional study (NIS) collecting data from postmenopausal women, and adult men, with HR+, HER2- locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer whose tumor harbors a PIK3CA mutation, and who are treated with alpelisib in combination with fulvestrant after disease progression following endocrine therapy as monotherapy, in the real-world setting.
This multicenter, open-label, randomized phase 3 trial will determine if palbociclib and cetuximab (Arm 1) improves overall survival (OS) in comparison to cetuximab monotherapy (Arm 2) in patients with CDKN2A-altered, HPV-unrelated recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who experienced disease progression on a PD-1/L1 inhibitor (given as monotherapy or in combination with other therapy).
EVITA is a multicentric Latin-American prospective cohort on chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis. EVITA's objective is to identify phenotypes and/or endotypes associated with different disease trajectories measured primarily by forced vital capacity (FVC) during a 24 month follow-up period. Other secondary measures of disease progression will also be investigated such as imaging, time to death or lung transplantation, and patient-reported outcomes
In France, since the reimbursement of Lutathera®, this treatment is allowed for retreatment if patients still fulfill the criteria of its indication and 4 news cycles could be proposed. However, clinical practices are heterogeneous regarding the number of new cycles and most teams perform only two additional cycles (every 8 weeks). Therefore, the coordinator propose to evaluate the efficacy of two additional cycle of Lutathera® versus active surveillance in patients already retreated with two cycles Lutathera® for a new progression of intestinal neuroendocrine tumor and who previously received the 4 cycles of treatment with a clinical benefit.
The 2020 NIMH Strategic Plan for Research calls for investigations targeting neurobiology of mental illness across the lifespan. Growing evidence suggests that lifespan neurobiology of schizophrenia (SZ) incorporates two distinct dimensions: aging and disease course. However, their clinical correlates, associated biomarker trajectories, and implications for treatment are unknown. This study will investigate differential aspects of SZ neurobiology captured by aging and disease course, in order to develop specific biomarkers which may offer actionable targets for SZ stage-dependent intervention. The study is predicated on a novel mechanistic Model of SZ Trajectories across the Adult Lifespan, positing distinct biological fingerprints within the anterior limbic system for aging and disease course in SZ: (1) alterations in the circuit's function and structure that occur earlier in the lifespan and are larger in magnitude than the alterations expected with normal aging (accelerated aging dimension); and (2) regionally-specific anterior limbic "hyperactivity" in early SZ, with a subsequent transformation into "hypoactivity" in advanced SZ (disease course dimension). In a sample of SZ and matched healthy controls (n=168, 84/group) aged 18-75 years the investigators will ascertain a broad panel of biomarkers [via multimodal brain imaging: optimized 1H-MRS, high-resolution task-based fMRI, perfusion (Vascular Space Occupancy) and structural MRI], along with comprehensive cognitive and clinical assessments. All measures will be acquired at baseline and repeated at 2-year longitudinal follow-up. Using cutting-edge computational approaches, the study will examine (i) effects of aging and SZ course on anterior limbic system biomarkers; (ii) lifespan trajectories for different biomarkers; (iii) patterns of limbic system biomarkers in age- and SZ course-based subgroups (e.g., Younger vs. Older, Early-Course vs. Advanced SZ), as well as in data-driven subgroups (e.g., those with vs. without accelerated aging profiles); and (iv) associations between biomarkers and cognitive and clinical outcomes. This research will advance the field by providing novel biomarkers that capture unique neurobiological contributions of aging and disease course in SZ, and will motivate future studies on SZ mechanisms across the lifespan and development of precision treatments.
The R0 resection rate of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) with high recurrence risk was relatively low, and the relapse-free survival rate was relatively low, which needed to be further improved. A few retrospective analyses and a small sample of prospective studies have found that neoadjuvant therapy with imatinib mesylate can improve R0 resection rates. Whether neoadjuvant therapy prolongs long-term survival remains unclear. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) for GIST patients with high recurrence risk after neoadjuvant treatment with imatinib mesylate.
Neurosarcoidosis represents up to 10% of sarcoidosis cases. Little is known about its long-term course, even if the disease remains mainly monophasic with/w.o. sequelae, or if bouts of new symptoms may arise over years (polyphasic). Using retrospective data from patients diagnosed with neurosarcoidosis in three French referral centers for neuro-inflammation, the investigators aim to determine patterns of disease course, according to the initial presentation and the treatments used.
A prospective, two-center, single arm phase II clinical study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of ablation therapy in the treatment of lung cancer presenting as ground-glass nodules
ACKGROUND: The development of new molecular techniques, in recent years, has increasing the knowledge of the composition and functionality of the intestinal microbiota. In the area of kidney transplantation, observational studies have described a change in the intestinal microbiota during the immediate post-transplantation period that seems to be related to the appearance of clinical outcomes such as diarrhea, repeated urinary tract infections, the need for adjustment of immunosuppressive treatment or acute rejection. However, intervention studies on this subject are necessary to determine how far the microbiota can influence in the development of these events. OBJECTIVE: To clarify the influence of maintaining the composition and functionality of the intestinal microbiota on post-transplant clinical outcomes such as diarrhea, urinary tract infections, kidney graft rejection and the need for dose adjustment of immunosuppressive therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: single-center, randomized, interventional pilot study with 50 deceased kidney donor transplant patients at low immunological risk. Each patient will be randomized at the time of inclusion in the study to one of the 2 branches of the study: 1) Intervention group: 25 patients who will receive a autologous fecal matter transfer during the first 6 months post-transplantation, 2) Control group: 25 renal transplant patients with the same characteristics who will not receive any type of intervention in addition to the immunosuppressive treatment indicated according to hospital protocol.
