Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) device usage in preventing lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.The main question it aims to answer is provide a reference basis for determining the efficacy of IPC application during gastrointestinal surgery for preventing lower extremity DVT in patients. Participants are patients who require gastrointestinal surgery, specifically for the resection of gastrointestinal tumors. They will be divided into a control group and an experimental group. The experimental group will use an Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) device during surgery, while the control group will receive standard treatment. The objective is to observe whether the use of IPC during surgery can prevent the formation of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) or lower the Risk of DVT.
The goal of this study is to learn if the Mind Over Matter (MOM) Intervention, a 5-week group program, can help Black and African American women deal with the fears, worries and sadness that often accompany cancer diagnosis and treatment. The main question this study aims to answer is: • Whether the MOM Intervention is feasible and acceptable among Black and African American women. We would also like to find out if: - The MOM Intervention decreases anxiety, depression and physical symptom severity for Black and African American women. - The MOM Intervention is culturally and linguistically appropriate, and identify barriers, strengths, and areas of improvement. Participants will: - Attend a Pre-Program Orientation - Attend 5 weekly MOM Sessions - Complete 2 questionnaires (one will be given before the first MOM Session begins, and the other will be given after the last MOM Session) Participants also have the choice to attend an optional Focus Group, which will be offered after the last MOM Session. Please note, this entire Intervention will be offered online. There will be no in-person sessions or visits.
The aim of this study is to describe the outcomes in American Indian patients receiving immunotherapy in a multi-institution retrospective study at several other high-volume centers that care for this patient population and to identify any healthcare disparities that can lead to future interventional studies.
The goal of this observational population-based cohort study is to investigate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of children and adolescents with primary gastrointestinal malignancies registered in the publicly available Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) 17 database during 2000-2019.
Remarkably, the incidence of gastrointestinal cancer cases among cancer types is increasing. Gastrointestinal cancers are one of the 10 most common cancer types in the World. This increase worldwide is remarkable, especially due to the increase in urbanization, consumption of foods rich in animal fat, insufficient dietary fiber intake and lifestyle changes. Cytotoxic therapy, which is used in the treatment of malignant diseases, can cause serious complications in gastrointestinal cancer, distinguishing it from other types of cancer. In addition, patients experience symptoms such as nausea-vomiting, mucositis, diarrhea, and constipation much more severely due to the direct effects of these agents on the gastrointestinal system. For this reason, patients' compliance with the treatment process and their quality of life are seriously affected, and patients have difficulties especially in meeting their self-care needs.
The purpose of the study is to assess the feasibility and participant satisfaction with the Support through Remote Observation and Nutrition Guidance (STRONG) program. The program provides nutrition support for participants living with gastrointestinal cancer who are receiving chemotherapy and surgical treatment.
This is a single-arm, phase II study of camrelizumab combined with SOX regimen in subjects with resectable locally advanced gastric cancer. The patients will receive camrelizumab ,S-1 and oxaliplatin given every 3 weeks for 3 cycles as neoadjuvant therapy. After the surgery, adjuvant therapy which includes camrelizumab and SOX regimen will begin.
The CRC DRAW study will assess the sensitivity and specificity of the blood-based, Next-Gen CRC Screening Test for the detection of CRC.
The purpose of this prospective, interventional, single-arm pilot study is to evaluate whether virtually delivered group-based physical activity is feasible for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. AYAs who were diagnosed with cancer and have completed cancer treatment will be recruited for this study. This study will enroll 20 participants in total and will last approximately 3 months.
The study is a phase 2 non-randomized, open-label, multi-cohort, multi-center study assessing the clinical benefit of SAR444245 (THOR-707) combined with other anticancer therapies for the treatment of participants aged 18 years and older with advanced and metastatic gastrointestinal cancer. This study is structured as a master protocol for the investigation of SAR444245 with other anticancer therapies. Sub study 01 - Cohort A aims to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in the setting of advanced unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Sub study 02 - Cohort B1, B2 and B3 would focus on non MSI-H tumors with a large unmet need to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in the setting of advanced unresectable or metastatic gastric cancer or gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GC/GEJ), especially with low PD-L1 expression or after progression on prior PD1/PD-L1-based regimens. Sub study 03 - Cohort C aims to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in participants with advanced unresectable or metastatic HCC who relapsed on prior PD1/PD-L1-based regimens. Sub study 04 - Cohort D1 and D2 aims to establish proof-of-concept that combining the non-alpha-IL2 SAR444245 with either the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab or with the anti-EGFR IgG1 antibody cetuximab will result in a significant increase in the percentage of patients experiencing an objective response in the setting of advanced unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
