Filter by:PALLSOFT is a randomized, open-label, non-inferiority phase III, multicenter, national trial that will investigate whether the patient-reported symptomatic effect of palliative radiotherapy delivered in 1-2 fractions is non-inferior to palliative radiotherapy delivered in five fractions in patients with pelvic soft tissue tumors from either gastrointestinal, urological or gynecological cancer. Health-related quality of life, toxicities, survival and prognostic and predictive biomarkers will be assessed as secondary and explorative endpoints.
A clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of engineered Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) for the treatment of Advanced Malignant Solid Tumors
This research study is being conducted to improve the quality of care of participants who have a diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancer (anal, colon, rectal, esophageal, stomach, small bowel, appendix, pancreas, gall bladder, liver, neuroendocrine tumor of gastrointestinal origin). This study has 3 components as follows- 1. Ensuring appropriate biomarker testing and evidence-based care: Biomarkers are molecules in the tumor or blood that indicate normal or abnormal processes in participant's body and may indicate an underlying condition or disease. Various molecules, such as DNA (genes), proteins, or hormones, can serve as biomarkers since they all indicate something about participant's health. Biomarker testing can also help choose participant's treatment. Additionally, a tumor board will be conducted periodically to provide treatment recommendations to participant's treating physician. Participants will receive standard-of-care treatment if participant enroll in this study. Participant will not receive any experimental treatment. 2. Assistance with clinical trial enrollment. The study team will help participants enroll in a clinical trial appropriate for participant's condition. However, enrolling in a clinical trial is totally up to the participant. 3. Health literacy: The study team will provide information relevant to participant's diagnosis to enrich participant's understanding of participant's condition and treatment. Investigator will provide questionnaires to assess participant's understanding before and after participant's have been provided with educational/informational material appropriate for participant's diagnosis.
There are vulnerabilities in post-discharge care transition for patients after undergoing resection of malignant gastrointestinal tumors. This study aims to investigate the possibility of utilizing Voice-Assisted Remote Symptom Monitoring System (VARSMS) to alleviate some of these challenges.
This is a Phase I study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of sacituzumab govitecan in combination with capecitabine for advanced gastrointestinal cancers after progression on standard therapy, and to assess correlation of outcomes with the biomarker Trop-2.
The purpose of this study is to develop, refine, and pilot test a text-messaging micro-intervention focused on improving communication skills for couples in which one partner has gastrointestinal cancer. For the pilot testing portion of the study, couples will be randomized (1:1) to receive the text-messaging communication micro-intervention or to a waitlist control group. All couples will be asked to complete questionnaires before randomization and 30 days post-randomization. Couples in the waitlist control group will be offered the text-messaging micro-intervention after completing the second set of surveys (30-days post-randomization).
Comparison of tumor volume, number, and SUVmax of different primary foci (gastric, duodenal, and colon cancer), lymph node metastases (neck and supraclavicular, mediastinal, abdominal, and pelvic), and distant metastases (brain, lung, liver, bone, pleura, and peritoneum) detected by 18F-FAPI versus 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging.
This pilot feasibility study aims to set the foundation to investigate the applicability of QPOP drug selection followed by CURATE.AI-guided dose optimisation of the selected azacitidine combination therapy for solid tumours using CURATE.AI within the current clinical setting. QPOP will identify drug interactions towards optimal efficacy and cytotoxicity from the pre-specified drug pool based on ex vivo experimental data from the individual participant's tissue sample model. With these drug interactions, QPOP will identify the optimal drugs for the specific participant whose biopsy provided the cells for the ex vivo experimentation. Subsequently, CURATE.AI will be used to guide dosing for the selected combination therapy for that participant. Individualised CURATE.AI profiles will be generated based on each participant's response to a set of drug doses. Subsequently, the personalised CURATE.AI profile will be used to recommend the efficacy-driven dose. CURATE.AI will operate only within the safety range for each drug pre-specified for each participant. This pilot feasibility study will inform the investigators on the logistical and scientific feasibility of performing a large-scale randomised controlled trial (RCT) with the selected azacitidine combination therapy regimens and response markers. A secondary objective is to collect toxicity and efficacy data using established and exploratory response markers within and in-between cycles as exploratory outcomes.
The primary objective of the study is to determine sleep disturbance and its types among patients with gastrointestinal cancers during the perioperative period (preoperative and in-hospital stay following surgery) by using Richard Campbell sleep questionnaire (RCSQ). The primary objective of this study is to determine the SD during preoperative and post-operative periods evaluated by Richard Campbell Sleep questionnaire. Patients will be asked every 24 hours while at the hospital (before and after surgery) to fill out this questionnaire. The mean RCSQ score at each time point (i.e., before and after surgery) will be calculated for each patient. The overall mean (across all patients) will be calculated and reported along a 95% CI.
The clinical study of modern therapies on flora changing in blood, oral cavity, urethra and intestinal tract of patients with malignant tumors. The study is observational. Patients are diagnosed cancer based on pathology or cell biology. The sample of flora will be obtained from their blood, oral cavity, urethra and intestinal tract, mainly to study what modern therapies lead to the influence of microecological environment including diversity and abundance of bacteria in patients who received malignant tumors. Immunological examination and Blood biochemistry evaluation include the number ratio, activity and function of immune cell, the immune cell marker(CD3, CD4, CD8, etc), C-reactive protein(CRP), tumor necrosis factor(TNF), Inflammatory stimulant factor(IL-2, IL-6, etc), tumor marker(CEA, AFP, etc),etc. Clinical evaluation includes image data(CT/MRI), quality of life(QOL), no disease progression survival, total survival, objective disease remission rate, etc.
