Filter by:It is a prospective randomized controlled study to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of SurePath™ liquid-based cytology in endoscopic ulatrasound-guided sampling.
In phase Ia study, the safety and tolerability of BL-M02D1 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastroenteric tumor or other solid tumors will be investigated to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BL-M02D1. In phase Ib study, the safety and tolerability of BL-M02D1 at the phase Ia recommended dose will be further investigated, and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for phase II clinical studies will be determined. In addition, the preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and immunogenicity of BL-M02D1 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastroenteric tumor or other solid tumors will be evaluated.
SURGE aims to increase equity in clinical trial enrollment by addressing barriers to genomic testing, which is increasingly needed to assess precision clinical trial eligibility and access standard precision therapies. The study is an interventional pilot meant primarily to assess the feasibility of the intervention. The intervention is comprised of a patient navigator, text message questionnaire, and informational video.
The primary objective is to determine the clinical efficacy of treatment regimen in terms of objective response rate (ORR). The secondary objectives is to determine the clinical efficacy of the study treatment in terms of progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Additionally, to characterize the safety and toxicity profile of the study treatment as measured by the adverse event rates.
Cancer survivors have unique healthcare needs including risk for serious late effects, ongoing surveillance, lifestyle modifications to reduce second cancer risk, and psychosocial support. Nearly 70% have at least one comorbid chronic condition in addition to cancer. Comorbidities pose significant challenges to the delivery of quality cancer care because they adversely affect and are affected by cancer treatment. Medically underserved patients have the highest burden of multiple chronic conditions and are at increased risk for poor outcomes during and after cancer treatment. As medically underserved cancer patients may lack healthcare knowledge and access to supportive care, their health outcomes and care transitions might be improved by enhancing communication and collaboration between their oncologists and primary care providers (PCPs). This study tests and evaluates a novel shared care model for cancer survivors with chronic comorbidities, called OPTIMISE (Oncology-Primary Care Partnership to Improve Comprehensive Survivorship Care) in the largest safety-net healthcare system in Houston, Texas. Three-hundred newly diagnosed breast, GI, and hematological cancer patients who are being treated with curative intent and who have comorbidities requiring ongoing management during cancer treatment will complete baseline surveys and be randomized to either OPTIMISE or Usual Medical Care (UMC). Patients receiving UMC will receive their cancer treatment, as directed by their oncologist, a survivorship care plan (SCP) at the end of active treatment, and surveillance visits with their oncologist based on national guidelines. Patients in OPTIMISE will 1) have an oncology nurse navigator assigned to their care team at diagnosis to facilitate oncologist-PCP communication and continuity of care; 2) receive coordinated care between their oncologist and PCP throughout cancer treatment and surveillance facilitated by a structured communication and referral process; 3) receive a survivorship care plan (SCP) at the end of treatment that incorporates comorbidity management; and, 4) receive a risk-stratified shared care model of post-treatment surveillance where one or more routine oncologist follow-up visits is replaced by a PCP visit. Aim 1a evaluates the impact of OPTIMISE on patient chronic disease self-management (primary outcome) and quality of life (secondary outcome). Aim 1b explores the effects of OPTIMISE on healthcare use and patient unmet needs during and after active cancer treatment. Aim 2 examines the effects of OPTIMISE on oncologist and PCP attitudes and coordination of care. Aim 3 seeks to elucidate patient- and system-level factors that may influence implementation outcomes. OPTIMISE shifts the timing of thinking about survivorship to point of diagnosis and seeks to develop a clinical infrastructure to support continuity of care from cancer diagnosis through post-treatment survivorship. If found effective, OPTIMISE could be expanded to other cancers, igniting a potentially rich area of research. It may also have significant downstream impact in other medical settings by enhancing care transitions from specialty to primary care.
Currently, the question remains whether palliative primary tumor resection could improve overall survival of minimally symptomatic patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous unresectable metastases. The aim of this study is to determine if there is an improvement in overall survival of palliative primary tumor resection followed by chemotherapy in minimally symptomatic patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous unresectable metastases compared to those of upfront chemotherapy/radiotherapy alone.
Evaluate the feasibility of using a chatbot combined with continuous activity monitoring to proactively identify, appropriately triage and help manage patients' symptoms during cancer treatment Determine whether such an early outpatient clinic-based intervention can decrease rates of excess triage visits Correlate changes in activity and early symptom management to emergency department visits, unplanned inpatient hospitalizations and treatment breaks
This is a open-label, single center to determine the efficacy and safety of IM96 CAR-T cells in Patients With Advanced Digestive System Neoplasms
The PIPAC NAL-IRI study is designed to examine the maximal tolerated dose of nanoliposomal irinotecan (Nal-IRI, Onivyde) administered with repeated pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), in a monocentric, phase I trial.
In phase Ia study, the safety and tolerability of BL-B01D1 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal tumor and other solid tumor will be investigated to determine the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BL-B01D1. In phase Ib study, the safety and tolerability of BL-B01D1 at the phase Ia recommended dose will be further investigated, and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for phase II clinical studies will be determined. In addition, the preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and immunogenicity of BL-B01D1 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal tumor and other solid tumor will be evaluated.
