Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies how well Walking for Recovery from Surgery works in improving quality of life in older adults with lung or gastrointestinal cancer and their family caregivers. A walking program, such as Walking for Recovery from Surgery may help support overall well-being as a caregiver, and may help improve family member or friend's recovery from surgery.
The purpose of this study is to improve cancer care and the delivery of cancer care. Researchers are interested in studying patient reported information and examining how different factors may impact cancer care.
Registration of patients after gastrointestinal cancer radical surgery, including the information of treatments, recurrence & metastasis, adverse events,etc.
The three tumour streams that will be studied in this protocol are: (i) upper GI malignancies (comprising intra-hepatic/extra-hepatic cholangiocarcinomas,gall bladder cancers and duodenal cancers).); (ii) neuroendocrine tumours (inc. Pancreatic, bronchial and intestinal carcinoid tumours) and (iii) rare gynaecological tumours (including but will not be limited to: vaginal or vulval carcinomas, clear cell carcinoma of the ovary, low grade serous ovarian cancer, mixed mullarian tumours (carcinosarcoma), sarcomas of the female genital tract and granulosa cell tumours). The role of immunotherapy is being defined in more common cancer types, however because of their rarity, the efficacy of immunotherapy for these cancers is poorly defined. This protocol provides an important opportunity to establish whether the combination of nivolumab & ipilimumab has efficacy in these cancers.
The study is a randomized study of patients living in four municipalities in Eastern Jutland. After geriatric assessment half of the patients will be offered a tailor-made intervention in their homes. The follow-up will last for at least 90 days and include treatment of the patients' multimorbidity, e.g. of dehydration, anaemia, infections, and malnutrition. The other half of the patients, the results of the assessment and recommendations will be given to the patients and their general practitioner. The primary efficacy variables are accomplishment of planned cancer treatment, reduction of complications and admissions to hospital and increased quality of life,. If geriatric assessment and a tailor-made follow-up result in a better quality of life with less complications and admissions the offer may be extended to a longer period, younger age groups and other cancer diagnoses.
The Phase 1b study is an open-label, multicenter dose escalation study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of IMU-131. The RP2D will be evaluated in the dose expansion Phase 2 study. The Phase 2 study is a randomized, open label comparison of IMU-131 plus standard of care chemotherapy versus standard of care chemotherapy alone.
Double-blind, randomized clinical trial to assess the effects of 1,55 g/day of n-3 fatty acids from fish oil concomitant chemotherapy in gastrointestinal cancer.
The purpose of this study is compare different doses of capecitabine to see if one is better than the other in terms of efficacy and toxicity.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ropidoxuridine in treating patients with gastrointestinal cancer that has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment undergoing radiation therapy. Ropidoxuridine may help radiation therapy work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the radiation therapy.
This pilot clinical trial studies copper Cu 64 anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) monoclonal antibody M5A positron emission tomography (PET) in diagnosing patients with CEA positive cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as copper Cu 64 anti-CEA monoclonal antibody M5A PET, may help find and diagnose CEA positive cancer that may not be detected by standard diagnostic methods.
