Filter by:The Robocop trial is an international multi-centre, single blinded, randomized controlled superiority trial conducted in centres experienced in robotic-assisted liver surgery. Eligible patients for radical cholecystectomy will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to undergo robotic-assisted or open resection within an enhanced recovery setting. The primary endpoint is time to functional recovery. Secondary endpoints include length of hospital stay, resection margin, number of retrieved lymph nodes, postoperative complications, quality of life, abdominal wall complaints and direct and indirect costs.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two treatment regimes, namely, systemic therapy (chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy) alone vs. systemic therapy and radiation therapy in patients with inoperable but localized gallbladder cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether adding radiation therapy to systemic therapy improves overall survival? - What are the effects on other endpoints like cancer-free intervals, side effects, and quality of life? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment regimes mentioned earlier by a computer-based program. Researchers will compare survival and quality of life outcomes between the two groups.
This is a phase 2 pragmatic study that evaluates the clinical benefit of continuing systemic therapy with the addition of locally ablative therapies for oligo-progressive solid tumors as the primary objective. The primary outcome measure is the time to treatment failure (defined as time to change in systemic failure or permanent discontinuation of therapy) following locally ablative therapy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new drug plus standard treatment compared with standard treatment alone in patients with previously untreated cholangiocarcinoma or those that have progressed after first-line treatment for cholangiocarcinoma. The main questions it aims to answer are: - is the new drug plus standard treatment safe and tolerable - is the new drug plus standard treatment more effective than standard treatment
This is a multi-center, open-label, randomized, phase 2/3 trial of the bispecific antibody CTX-009 plus paclitaxel versus paclitaxel in patients with previously treated, unresectable advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancers.
The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility of genomic and epigenetic analysis of rectal mucus to detect non-colorectal cancers of the aero- digestive tract using samples collected by the OriCol™ Sampling Device. The primary objective of the study is to assess whether significant changes in DNA mutation and methylation associated with Non-colorectal cancers of the Aero- digestive Tract (NCRCADT) can be detected in rectal mucus as shed cells and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) pass through the gut and theoretically can be collected from rectal mucus. Secondary objectives will assess the participant acceptability of the OriCol™ Sampling Device for Upper GI and Lung Pathology as well as contributing to a genomic library collating information about rectal mucus.
Checkpoint inhibitor therapy represents a significant advance in cancer care. The interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 induces immune tolerance, and the inhibition of this interaction is an effective treatment strategy for numerous malignancies. Despite its demonstrated potential, immunotherapy is not currently thought to be an effective intervention in the treatment of several immunologically "cold" tumors such as prostate cancer, biliary tract cancers, soft tissue sarcomas, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors, microsatellite stable colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and non-triple negative breast cancer. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is thought to play a key role in modulating the anti-tumor immune response. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is secreted by tumors and leads to endothelial cell proliferation, vascular permeability, and vasodilation. This in turn leads to the development of an abnormal vasculature with excessive permeability and poor blood flow, limiting immune surveillance. In addition, VEGF inhibits dendritic cell differentiation, limiting the presentation of tumor antigens to CD4 and CD8 T cells. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) VEGF-TKIs are currently utilized in the treatment of a variety of malignancies and are widely utilized in combination with checkpoint blockade in the treatment of clear cell kidney cancer. Through the inhibition of VEGF, it may be possible to potentiate the effect of immune checkpoint blockade even in tumors which have traditionally been thought to be unresponsive to immunotherapy. This study aims to evaluate the combination of the immune checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab and the VEGF-TKI tivozanib in a variety of tumors which have a low response rate to checkpoint inhibitor therapy alone.
The purpose of this study is to assess the difference of safety and efficacy about Capecitabine and S-1 for treatment of patients with low-risk of recurrence after BTC surgery.
A clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of genetically-engineered, neoantigen-specific Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) in which the intracellular immune checkpoint CISH has been inhibited using CRISPR gene editing for the treatment of Gastro-Intestinal (GI) Cancer.
The study consists in a co-clinical trial by using zebrafish embryos. Specifically, an observational prospective clinical trial on patients operated of epato-biliar-pancreatic cancers and gastro-intestinal cancers undergoing a chemotherapy treatment will be run concurrently to an animal trial on zebrafish embryos xenotransplanted with patient cancer cells in order to demonstrate that zebrafish model is able to predict the therapeutic regimen with the best efficacy for each patient.
